20 Questions About Me

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE T.V. shows is One Tree Hill. I just adore that show, and have seen every single episode, probably more than once and it's safe to say that I know pretty much everything about that show. So speaking of OTH, I have recently learned that Bethany Joy Galeotti who plays Haley Scott and happens to be one of my favorite characters writes a blog... Well let me tell you I am just so in love with her blog. She partly inspired me to start this one, so because of that, I decided I would answer the famous 20 questions that she has asked her friends on her blog... here we go!

1. Were you named after anyone?
My middle name May, is my Grandma's middle name.

2. Do you like your own handwriting?
Not at all, every once in a while, I will see something I wrote and say "Wow my writing looks awesome here" but that doesnt happen very often. I have boyish, child writing.

3. What would your superpower be if you could choose one?
I would choose to be able to fly, or be a fly on the wall, and to be able to read minds... all combined into one MEGA power!

4. Are you an optimist or pessimist?
I am very optimistic and like to find the good in every situation, but of course everyone has those bad days were everything sucks, so my pessimistic side comes out.. but thats not very often.

5. What do you collect?
I don't really collect anything, but I would like to start, maybe old beautiful pictures or I would love it if I could afford to buy myself any pair of shoes I desired... I would definitely have an extensive collection.

6. What movie would your friends be surprised you liked?
Maybe something like Schindler's list... It's black and white and something so unfamiliar with our generation.

7. What are your favorite smells?
I love the smell of butter cooking, coffee in the morning, a babies fresh skin and water lillies. Oh, and mens cologne.. LOVE IT!

8. Coffee or Tea?
Coffee in the morning, tea to cuddle up and read or watch a good movie. I also love coffee when going on a road trip, or on a Sunday morning going to visit my Grandma.

9. Wine or Beer?
I have only recently started to like wine, so a girls night in, definitely wine. The only time you can find me drinking beer is camping or during stampede time!

10. What is the best thing you've ever eaten (Where)?
Chicken red and white. Its a pasta dish that has both alfredo and a red cause, not combined. It comes with the juciest, delicious chicken breat. They lay the chicken on the red sauce, and have penne noodles with the white sauce and covered with yummy mozzarella cheese.. YUM YUM! Its from a place in Hamilton, Ontario called Chicago Style Pizza! Never had better alfredo sauce anywhere else!

11. Mac or PC?
I dont have a MAC, so PC I guess. Whats the difference?

12. What are you listening to right now?
The news is in the background at work... Specifically Breakfast Television

13. What career would you pursue in another life?
If I could choose any career, I would love to see what being an actress would be like... being able to express myself in a whole new way... or a journalist, being able to travel all over the world and share my discoveries through pictures and of course writing.

14. What sound or noise do you love?
I love the sound of kids laughing, or a baby just learning how to use their voice. I also love the sound of a horse walking and soft nature sounds to go to sleep.

15. What sound or noise do you hate?
I HATE the sound of a loud car or motorcycle... drives me crazy, that and LOUD CHEWERS!!!

16. Mountains or Beach?
That's a tough one, I grew up an hour away from the stunning rockies and no matter how often I get the chance to go out to the mountains, they NEVER cease to amaze me, they get me everytime. But the beach, thats a whole other beauty and one that you don't see much of in Alberta, so when I get the chance to visit a tropical beach, I am in heaven, plus a beach usually comes with a tan... gotta love that!

17. Cook or bake?
Cook, I love cooking and eating so that works out perfectly.

18. Do you go to restaurants and movies by yourself?
I have never gone to a movie alone and I couldn't really picture myself doing that, but if I wanted to see a movie badly enough and nobody wanted to see it with me then I would go alone. Restaurants, well I eat lunch alone at work sometimes in the food court, does that count?

19. What is your favorite fairytale or childhood story?
I dont really have a favorite fairytale... I like them all because they all have a happy ever after. As for a story, I was never read this as a child, but I love giving it to expecting parents and reading it to my niece and nephews. It's called I'll love you forever by Robert Munsch.

20. What would you tell the 13 year old you?
I would tell her that there are some pretty bumpy rides ahead so buckle up and dont give up, because in the end, everything is gonna be okay. I would tell her to choose happiness even when its tough. I would tell her to have fun, make mistakes and learn from them. I would tell her that even though you dont always feel it, you are beautiful and one day someone is going to come along and give you your very own happy ever after!

So there it is, a little bit about me...
