I've been tagged by inknalcohol (Grim), so now I'm filling out my first chain survey. I'm excited! You should be too, since you just might be next. ;) Let's start with the rules of the game: 

  1. You must post these rules.
  2. Each person has to share 15 things about themselves.
  3. Answer the 15 questions asked by your tagger and think of 15 questions for your tag targets.
  4. Choose 15 people to tag. (I'll be cheating on this one, though.) 
  5. Tag-backs are allowed!                 
  6. You must make a journal entry if you're tagged. NO COMMENTS, unless you're commenting about this journal.


Fifteen Things About Me: 


    1. My younger brother and I both got our red hair from our father. I've always liked it. :) 
    2. From my mother, I inherited a terrible weakness for wordplay. I actually get a rush from exchanging incredibly lame puns with someone. (Yes, you can take this as an invitation.)
    3. Every all-nighter I pulled in college was used for studying. 
    4. When I get bored walking somewhere, I fall in behind someone and try to match my steps to theirs like a spy. 
    5. I am twenty-three and still not sorry for Thing #4. 
    6. Sudden touches and loud noises startle me badly. Cheap jump scares in movies get me every time, and I resent them.
    7. In spite of Thing #6, I love a good horror or suspense flick. Not partial to gore, but I'll tolerate some if the story is strong.
    8. Crickets creep me out more than spiders. 
    9. When I was younger, I was a decent lucid dreamer. Most of my nightmares involved being chased by something. To wake up, I would commit dream suicide by jumping off a high place or letting the thing catch me.   
    10. Sushi is another weakness of mine. :heart: 
    11. I have an easily-distracted dog who is also deaf. The neighbors who don't know this are probably still wondering why I call my dogs in via arm-flailing and jumping jacks. 
    12. I'm a Christian. 
    13. I'm hanging up my reporting hat after one and a half years and 250+ articles at a local, weekly paper.
    14. Dr. Seuss is one of the things I remember most from my childhood. Most of the memories are happy ones, but then there's that thing at the end of his ABC book. Nope nope nope. 
    15. Autumn is my favorite season mostly because I love the sound of skittering leaves. 


The Questions Grimm: 


1. "If you had to die in a blender, who would you want in there with you?" 

First choice: some kind of violent madman. Second choice: no one. Third choice: the McDonald's manager who tormented my little brother while he worked there.  

2.  "
The world is overrun by animals, so there's going to be a mass purge. Only one type of animal will survive, what's your vote?"

If we're not counting humanity, I guess I'd go with canines. 

3. "
You're stuck on a deserted island with only a bottle of whiskey (no rum, because...just because) and a pack of cigarettes.  Which color crayon do you wish you had on you?"

Red. 

4. "I've made chocolate putting. What toppings are we putting in it?" 

Whoo! Whipped cream, chopped nuts, bits of pie crust, and possibly some crushed Oreos. Lots of rainbow sprinkles please. 

5. "Do you sneeze or double sneeze?" 

Double. 

6. "Who is your favorite comic book character?" 

I don't read many comic books. My favorite manga characters are probably Dr. Kenzo Tenma and Wolfgang Grimmer from Monster. I like the nice guys. 

7. "What is your favorite Monty Python skit?" 

Do the Knights Who Say "Ni!" count? ... I'm sticking with them anyway.

8. "Uncle Grim is coming over for dinner, what type of flowers should I bring?" 

Lilacs, please. :)

9. "What season of the year do you prefer to all others?" 

Since I already hit this in my Fifteen Things, I'll go ahead and say my least favorite season is winter. Icy roads are no fun.

10. "Do you subscribe to any monthly subscription boxes?" 

No, but they seem like fun!

11. "How did/are you carving your pumpkin this year?" 

Hahaha... I'm more likely to carve my fingers than the pumpkin. I'll just help put the candles in.

12. "In order to instantly master a skill/trade/art medium you've always wanted to master, you have to give up another skill/trade/art medium. What is the one you give up?"

I'll trade you my ability to diagram sentences for mad parkour skills.  
 
13. "Do you match up your socks or just wear random unmatched socks?" 

Match 'em up. 

14. "You have the option to be be eaten alive by a shark or live with leeches all over your body for the rest of your life.  Which do you choose?"

Leeches. You never said I had to keep them alive. :lol: 

15. "Gloves: fingered or fingerless?" 

Fingered, always. 



Questions for My Targets: 


1. What article of clothing could you not live without? 
2. Your genius has finally been recognized, and you've been invited to add a word to the dictionary. How does the entry read? 
3. If you had to give up laughter or singing, which would it be? 
4. You and I are going to a theme park. Yay! What should we do first? 
5. A lot of books have been getting turned into movies. What movie would you like to see turned into a book? 
6. The monster under your bed keeps waking you up with its snuffling noises. How do you respond? 
7. What is the most inspirational quote you've ever heard? 
8. If someone saw you on the worst hair day of your life, what creature would they think you looked like? 
9. When was the last time you laughed so hard you couldn't breathe? 
10. You find yourself thrown into a horror story. The writer won't let you out, but she'll grant you one object of your choice. What's your pick, and why? 
11. Congratulations! You somehow made it out of the story alive. How do you celebrate? 
12. If you could be any character from anything, who would you be?  
13. If you could sit down and talk with any character from anything, who would you choose? 
14. What would you ask them? 
15. If you could only eat one kind of cookie from here on out, what would it be?

Man, it took me two days to answer two questions... I almost had to punch myself in the face to write that much about myself.
