Interrogation Time
I'm gonna have to ask you some questions, Ma'am...
There is another fun game going around the internet. This one is like 20 questions, but only half as difficult. It’s Eleven Questions. Sounds pretty self-explanatory. Coleen Patrick tagged me, so I get to answer her 11 questions. Then I get to tag 11 people and ask them my own questions. I’m really good at asking questions. And, yes, there is a mischievous smile on my face right now.
If I was going to be questioned by a cop, I would want it to be Javier from Castle or Eric Delko from CSI:Miami. But, I can totally see Coleen Patrick as a Kate Beckett style detective working cases with a rich, handsome partner. So I’ll let her put me in the interrogation room and I’ll answer all her questions. But I might close my eyes and pretend Javi is on the other side of the table.
Here are Coleen’s Eleven Question and my eleven answers:
1. What 3 books would you take with you into your apocalypse bunker?
As if I would have an apocalypse bunker! If I had to be locked somewhere for a few days I would hope it would be at the mall like that episode of The OC. Then I could go down to the bookstore and get any books I want. But if I could only have three books (and I had to give the rest to charity, or something) I would choose: Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber, The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, and Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende.
2. What was your first job?
I’m boring here. My first job was babysitting. But my first crappy job was working at the fast food restaurant on my college campus. It was called Hammy’s. And I was a vegetarian.
3. What song is stuck in your head right now?
“Dance, too much booty in the pants” by Soundmaster T. It’s on some commercial for a soda I’ve never heard of, but it reminds me of singing in the dressing room with one of my besties while we tried on clothes. For that, I love it.
4. What celebrity would play you in a movie about your life?
That’s a hard one. Which celebrity is pale and has a big booty? Maybe Sandra Bullock because I love her, but she’d have to gain some weight for the role. And get some padded underwear.
5. What did you eat for breakfast this morning?
What I eat for breakfast most mornings: oatmeal. I call it loaded oatmeal because I put in some Greek yogurt, raspberries, ground flax seed, and a little bit of honey. Yum.
6. If you could go back in time for one day, what time would you revisit and why?
I would go back to middle school and stand up to that bully who called me fat.
7. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
I don’t remember. I’ll have to ask my BFF. I do remember there was a preview of the new Zach Efron movie where he has a scene in his underwear. We’re definitely going to see that movie.
8. What’s your favorite movie snack?
Sour patch kids and popcorn together. It’s delicious!
9. What TV show is most like your life?
Modern Family.
10. If you could get on a plane right now where would you go (all expenses paid)?
So easy: Miami! And if all expenses are paid I would stay at the Mandarin Oriental and get a spa package.
11. If you could tweet to your 13 year old self what would you say?
You’re perfect the way you are. And you’re not fat. Really.
Now it’s my turn to come up with Eleven Questions:
1. If you could write yourself into any TV show or movie, what would you choose?
2. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to do but been too scared to do?
3. Would you rather get a pedicure or go hiking?
4. What is your favorite part of a man’s body?
5. If you could be trapped anywhere with anyone, where you be and who would you be with?
6. What’s the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
7. Sweet or salty?
8. What was your biggest childhood fear?
9. If you were a shoe, what type of shoe would you be?
10. What is your nickname, and where does it come from?
11. If you were a character from Sex and the City, who would you be? (Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha)
Since pretty much everyone I know online has already been tagged, I’m putting the questions out to you. I’d love to see your answers in the comments. Unless posting your most embarrassing moment on a blog is your biggest childhood fear. Which I completely understand.
I think an underground mall as a bunker makes the apocalypse sound so fun! lol Love your answers Emma and I am definitely going to see Zac in The Lucky One too!! That trailer is hot.
Oh and thanks so much for the Kate Beckett upgrade
Oh, yeah, Zach Efron has become a man! And I’m sure the story is good, too.
I’ve never watched Sex and the City :/ Does that make me weird? My favorite man-part is his neck. There’s a special curve there almost seems made for me, and no matter what he wears or what he’s been doing his own smell stays there. *blush*
The neck is a great part! You are so right about the scent of a man. Nice! It’s not weird that you haven’t seen Sex and the City. But it tells me that I shouldn’t expect you to know the difference between a Manolo and a Jimmy Choo.
1. If you could write yourself into any TV show or movie, what would you choose? – Steel Magnolias
2. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to do but been too scared to do? – Sing in public (which would require that I learn how to sing first, lol)
3. Would you rather get a pedicure or go hiking? duh…pedicure!
4. What is your favorite part of a man’s body? arms
5. If you could be trapped anywhere with anyone, where you be and who would you be with? trapped in Cartegena, Colombia with…hmmmm…one of many of my travel-loving friends! You, Emmita.
6. What’s the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? Fell down some stairs in front of a bajillion high school students
7. Sweet or salty? Sweet…just give me an IV drip of sugar and I am happy
8. What was your biggest childhood fear? not being good enough
9. If you were a shoe, what type of shoe would you be? knee-high, lace-up-the-back, black leather boots with a heel
10. What is your nickname, and where does it come from? Liz…everybody in Ecuador gives you a nickname (students, especially), but I was never called this until I moved here in 2005
11. If you were a character from Sex and the City, who would you be? (Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha) Charlotte
Oh how I would love to be in Cartagena with you! The men there are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. We could look for the best arms! I love that you are Charlotte. It’s so true! I think I’m Carrie, but less prude.
Ooo, I haven’t tried sour kids and popcorn together, but that sounds really good. I’ll have to try it the next time we go to the movies.
If the pedicure was paid for by someone else, I’d choose pedicure. I’ve never had one before, and I’ve always wanted one, but haven’t been able to justify the cost.
Marcy, you definitely have to try both a pedicure and the sour patch kids/popcorn combo. You should put the pedicure on your birthday wish list. It is such a great treat!
Great answers, Emma. Your breakfast oatmeal sounds really yummy. I want to try that out.
And thanks for coming up with questions to answer. I love all kind of quizzes and questionnaires.
1. If you could write yourself into any TV show or movie, what would you choose? I would love to have made a small appearance in Firefly but the seris got canceled
Right now, it would be awesome to have a little role in The Game of Thrones series.
2. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to do but been too scared to do? Living and working abroad. It’s even more complicated now with kids.
3. Would you rather get a pedicure or go hiking? Pedicure please
4. What is your favorite part of a man’s body? His face
5. If you could be trapped anywhere with anyone, where you be and who would you be with? With my husband at a library
He is a wonderful man but if the entrapment lasted too long, I would go boinkers without books.
6. What’s the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I was caught in a lie when I was 9 and lied to cover up and was busted. This started a huge drama that involved soon all the girls in my class. Ouch.
7. Sweet or salty? Sweet
8. What was your biggest childhood fear? Sharks in lakes
Jaws was a huge impact. I’m still wary of something biting me when swimming outdoors. On and wasps.I hate them.
9. If you were a shoe, what type of shoe would you be? A practical but pretty pump with a little heel.
10. What is your nickname, and where does it come from? Most of my English friends call me Ree because my name is really hard to pronounce right
11. If you were a character from Sex and the City, who would you be? (Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha) I’m most like Miranda but would like to be more Samatha
Great answers! I love that you would pick a pedicure and that you’d be trapped in a library! Fun. And being more like Samantha is probably a good goal for most of us.
I was terrified of sharks, too. For some reason I was scared of them in the bathtub after seeing jaws, even though it wasn’t even possible. Thanks for sharing your answers. That was fun!
