Amy's Questions:
1. What movie have you seen more times than any other movie? Hmmm, this is a tough one...I love movies so much! Probably would have to be Sweet Home Alabama. I never get sick of that one.
So good. :)

2. What would be your perfect date? April 25th, because it's not too hot and not too cold--all you need is a light jacket!...oh wait...sorry! that's not what you meant--I'm a traditionalist in only a few things, and this is one of them. Dinner at a bistro/cafe and a movie. That way we can get to know each other at dinner and then do one of my favorite things--watch a film! :)
3. What has been your most embarrassing moment? I used to be embarrassed by everything. I was a VERY shy kid. But, honestly, now I hardly get embarrassed. I can't remember the last time I was truly humiliated about something I did. I just think--what's the point? People do dumb stuff all the time--so just roll your eyes, laugh, and get on with it.
4. Have you ever seen something in a store that you absolutely loved and couldn't walk away without no matter what the price? What was it? A purse. It's always the purses! Most of my "fun" money goes to bags I don't need!
5. What has been your favorite Halloween costume? Oh boy...I'm not much of a Halloween person...but last year I was a 20's flapper girl and that was REALLY fun! I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong era.
6. Have you ever been approached by someone you recognized but you couldn't for the life of you remember how you know them? Every. day. I swear. It's so embarrassing! I usually just try to play along until they say something that sparks a memory for me. Please tell me you guys do this too!
7. What nicknames have people made up for you? My dad's side of the family is nickname obsessed. I don't think anyone calls anyone by their real names...I've been keishbobeish my whole life; Uncle Parris calls me BOBEEEESH!; I was Lorraine for a bit when I was little {for quiche lorraine}.
8. What did you want to be growing up? Has it changed as you have gotten older? Haha. When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a mom that was also a teacher. Probably because that's what my mom did. Then I think I wanted to be Amelia Earhart minus the getting lost overseas. ;) I've always had a small part of me (sometimes it's a big part) that wants to be a Hollywood Actress. Complete with all the glamour, drama, paparazzi, interviews--not to mention getting to act for a living! FUN! Then I had no clue what I wanted to be for a long time and it kind-of scared me. Then I took an Interior Design class in High School and fell in love. That was the moment I decided what to major in in College. Now, I still love designing, but I'm more into my Illustration business. If I could be an Illustrator for a living--that would be the BEST job! I've also thought recently of being a Set Designer--pretty far away from a teacher--thank goodness--that job is too hard!! ;)
9.Favorite online store to shop at? Forever 21 and Express and Amazon and Fab and Vault and...
10. What's the strangest talent you have? I have a double jointed pointer finger on my right hand. Yeah, I'm pretty hard core.
11. What is your favorite physical feature? Is this weird?--I like my fingernails. . .haha, that is weird--oh gosh. But it's true! I like the way they look with a fresh coat of polish--just ties everything together. And even when I don't love my outfit or I've had a nice pj/sweats/greasy hair day--my nails still look nice. :)
11 Facts About Me {if you're not bored yet}
1. I'm currently saving for a trip to England! WHOO!
2. I've secretly always wanted a tattoo.
3. My mom always told me I would regret not sticking with Piano Lessons. She was right.
4. I am {mentally} dating Benedict Cumberbatch and we have the perfect relationship!
5. Since college I can't JUST WATCH a movie {at home}--I have to be doing something with my hands--crafting, sketching, painting. I think it's because I got so used to working on renderings and floor plans on my computer with a movie on in the background.
6. I'm Lactose Intolerant.
7. I'll find something I like and I will get utterly obsessed with it for a while. {Doctor Who, Smash book-ing, Justin Bieber, mint m&ms...} I honestly can't think of anything else--and then for some reason it starts to peter out until I can hardly remember it. Weird.
8. I am a fan-girl through and through.
9. I love photography and those that do it well.
10. I am a book lover! I love anything that can transport you to another world.
11. Fall and winter are my favorite seasons.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for nominating me! You're the coolest. Ha, I love that you said being a teacher is too hard! Because... sometimes I think you're right! Luckily it's rewarding, or I don't know what I'd do with myself.
