Sunday Stealing

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. One of my favorite TV shows recently changed the actors who played two characters. Have you ever been bothered by a TV show or movie series changing actors who play a character you love? 


Yes. The recent change on Two and a Half Men bothers me. Now, I'm not a Charlie Sheen "lover," but I did enjoy his portrayal of Charlie Harper. Aston Kutcher bothers me so I will NOT be watching (maybe in a torture chamber) any of the new episodes of THM.  So there.

2. A coworker recently shared a link to a blog listing the "five things you should know before dating a journalist." As a journalist, I can honestly say the writer was spot-on. What are some things people should know before spending time with you? 


I am fairly asocial. Although I do not consider myself selfish or egocentric. I don't mind being social as long as that is not all that I am allowed to do in a day. I need quiet time to be with my thoughts and accomplish the things that are necessary to myself and my family.

3. What is something you often do without realizing that you're doing it? 


Put my seatbelt on in the car. It just happens and most times I don't remember doing it. This is a good thing in my book.

4. Who has the capacity to make you angrier than anyone else in your life, and what in particular does he or she do to make you so angry? 


Probably my husband, but that is kind of unfair since neither of us spend much down time with anybody else. He just happens to be around more so that makes him the unlucky one. The one thing that he does (and this is stupid but it just pushes that button) is push the garbage down into the trash can so much that it is almost impossible to pull the bag out to dispose of it. See. Stupid. We are not arguers or fighters so right now that is the best I have. 
5. If a fairy waved a magic wand and gave you the house of your dreams, where would it be and what features would it have? 


It would be off the grid with wind and solar power. It would have about 4000 square feet to allow rooms large enough for two grandchildren to ride tricycles inside without knocking over stuff. It would have floor to ceiling windows on at least one entire side. It would have a fireplace large enough to cook on if needed. It would have a wrap around porch on 3 sides.  It would have built in storage flush with the walls to allow minimal amounts of furniture. It would have black wood floors and white trim.

6. What’s a belief that you hold with which many people disagree? 


I believe in gay marriage. I do not believe that it belittles other kinds of marriage. I believe that it doesn't hurt anybody else if they pledge their love to one another. 

7. I used to talk in my sleep. In fact, I could carry on a conversation with someone when I was fully asleep, and my mom used this fact when I was a teenager to find out if I did anything wrong and was hiding it from my parents. If you were talking your sleep tonight, what do you think you would say? 


"My house is a mess."

8. The fourth installment of the "Twilight" movie series ("Breaking Dawn Part I") will be released in theaters soon. Movie theaters started selling advance tickets for midnight showings months ago. Have you ever attended a midnight premiere showing of a movie? 


Nope. Not a premiere, just a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

9. On Tuesday, tigers, lions and bears were let loose in Zanesville, Ohio, by their owner before he committed suicide, leading to a hunt in which 49 of the animals, including 18 endangered Bengal tigers, were killed. How would you react if you saw "Caution exotic animals. Stay in your vehicle" being displayed on a road sign? 


First I'd take a picture of the sign because that alone is kind of funny then I'd go home and cook a pot of Bengal soup.

10. If a company opened a theme park aimed at adults, what would you name one of the rides? 


My brain can not process this question at this time. Please try again at a later time.

11. Imagine you just moved onto Sesame Street. Which puppet would you want as your new roommate? 


Oscar the Grouch. I think he'd be my best bet at a lively conversation without being too annoying. If he did get to be too grumpy then I'd just scotch tape his lid shut for an hour. 

12. Have you ever had a weird crush on a famous person that didn't make sense to you? 


Anthony Edwards. He doesn't fit my usual hottie check list.

13. If you get ten minutes to interview any celebrity of your choice, who would you like it to be? 


Tommy Lee Jones. 

14. You've just won the complete DVD collection of all the movies starring one actor or actress. Which actor/actress would you pick?


Tom Hanks. I say that because he has such great movies and his variety of co-stars is quite large. It wouldn't be the same movie over and over again.

15. Actor George Clooney recently told People Magazine that he doesn't use Twitter "because I will drink in the evening and I don't want anything that I could possibly write at midnight to actually end my career." What is something you've said through social media and then regretted it? 


Am very careful about what I say on social media so I don't have a good answer here.

16. VH1 has re-introduced its hit show "Pop-Up Video," which gives behind-the-scenes facts for popular music videos. What musician would you be most interested in learning behind-the-scenes facts about? 


Rod Stewart.

17. If you stumbled across someone's personal written journal that was accidentally left in a public place, would you read any of the content? 


NO. I'd look to see who it belongs to so it can be returned. Boring, huh.

18. What is the title of a self-help book that you'd never want to see on a store bookshelf?


Fewer Zits In Private Areas In Under 14 Days!

19. Many media outlets have been asking this question a lot this week... Which Halloween costume do you think will be overdone this year? 


I think witches are always overdone. 

20. Should a marriage license have a renewal date or expiration date, like a driver’s license? 


No. I think it should stay as is. Marriage is a serious endeavor and getting out of one should be taken just as serious.
