Thursday Thunker's Week! Take Two

These questions were submitted by Thursday Thunker participants! (so don't blame Kimber & Berleen for the quality of the questions.....)

we are picking up where we left off last week, which explains why we are starting with #21 instead of #1. Great work on the questions submissions everyone! It gave Kimber & I a much needed mental break. We posted these questions just as they were listed on the participant's blog.

21. How many states have you been in?
14 I believe. I've driven through quite a few.
22. If a sexist Man is called a pig, what is a sexist Woman called?
a bitch? Which is technically an animal, afterall.
23. You see the one person who you absolutely despise. If you were guarentee'd that he/she couldn't say or do anything back to you.... What would you do??
walk away... it's really not that worth it.
24. How many states are to the right of you? And don’t give us a map to look at.
5 if I'm sitting with myself facing south, which I am now... but if I'm facing north, I'd have to get out a map and count.
25. You can go anywhere in the world for free. Where are you?
Australia just to hear the men talk.
26. HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP?
I'm assuming none, unless you were typing one-handed.
27. Are you a boxing fan? Do you think there will be a rematch of the Hatton-Pacquiao fight?
Nope. Not a fan and I have no clue what the hell you are even talking about
28. What is the most disgusting thing you have ever eaten?
green olives.
29. Is it cloudy right now?
Yes. And I wish them clouds would drop some water out of them
30. What is your dream job?
to work with animals. A zoo. With big cats & their cubs.
31. Someone gives you a $500 gift card to WalMart or Target. What are you going to buy?
Lame alert!!!! I'd buy groceries.
32. When you were little, what did you want to be "when you grow up"? And, how much different is your occupation now from where you thought it would be when you were younger?
I wanted to be a veterinarian. Totally different now because the closest I get to working with animals is having them sit on my feet while I sit here and work at the computer.
33. what was your favorite toy as a child?
My Little Pony. But honestly, my favorite toy was anything I could find outside. Usually neighbors dogs or something.
34. How do you think these things up??
I can't speak for Kimber, but I tend to stare out my kitchen window and type out whatever enters my head.
35. Why do you think so many "fake" veterans get away with pretending? Why don't people question them more (especially the media who eats up their stories?)
I guess I'm a little confused at this question. I didn't realize there was a problem with people going around saying they were in wars.
36. What is the last place you had a good cry and why?
I really don't remember.
37. What do you mean?
I don't know, what do you mean?
38. Which Sesame Street Character do you relate with the most and why?
who doesn't love Elmo?
39. What song one would you listen to over and over if you absolutely had to?
there's a few Johnny Cash songs that I can't get sick of.
40. Did you ever make what you believed at the time to be a horrible mistake - that in hindsight turned out to lead you on the best path in your life?
Yep. I don't really want to get into details about it, though. Lame, I know.

Wow. Second time in this post I've used the word "lame" and I rarely use that word.

41. If you could change one thing on your person, what would it be?
Does this mean physically? My teeth.
42. What’s your favorite show to watch on television nowadays?
There's a few. House, Wife Swap, Days of our Lives, CSI... do I need to continue?
43. Do you believe there is life after death?
I'd like to believe there is and I hope there is, but it's hard to say I "believe" because one just really doesn't know.

Project Green. The Book version.

Project Green again

And I'm admitting one of my addictions. Little House on the Prarie. The books... and the show. *hangs my head in shame* Yes, my friends, you will catch me watching this show all the time. I can't help it. I love the show! I always have. I swear I am the only one left on the planet that DOES watch it.

KISS - Family Jewels

I'm a KISS fan, so is the husband. We saw them... THEM, the original 4, when they first went back into makeup. Our best friends & us went to the concert in 1997. Thats a whole 'nother blog post - cool concert. We got within feet from the band.

So it's only right that we watch Gene Simmon's reality tv show. I'm not a big reality tv show watcher because, well... it's scripted. I don't care how many times you tell me it isn't, it is. Plus you are watching, what? 20 minutes of out of their weekly lives? (gotta take 10 minutes for commercial breaks, ya know!) You can't know someone's personality or personal habits by looking into 20 minutes of their weekly life. Even 20 minutes a day would be difficult to really learn someone!

But still... I watch. I love Gene and I love Shannon Tweed. Like my husband, I have a thing for her. She's hot, it's not like it's not well known information or anything.

So last week is the whole thing about Gene taking the lie detector test - I think this is going to change the opinions of many people once we find out the results. If he hasn't been with that many women - men aren't going to worship him anymore as some type of sex god. If he's has been... people like me are going to be pissed off at him for doing that to Shannon.

Either you are on Team Tweed or Team Simmons - just like the shirts Shannon found on the show. Now after the show I searched for those t-shirts and couldn't find them to save my life! But now, they are findable, thanks to me.

and more....

Newsworthy

Remind me never to be famous. I don't want to go out for coffee one day and find out later it was a big news story of the day.
I mean, seriously, if the "news" isn't good enough to be more than one sentence long ... I just don't think people should waste their muscle use in their fingers typing it out just so someone like me can accidently click on it, thinking it's something good. I thought, at least, they walked away without paying.... or something.

In other celebrity news, my future husband has become a grandfather. Rumored at least. Go grandpa Mel! And congratulations to Hannah & Kenny... if it's true.

Rock of Love

Had my notify thing set up days in advance for the Rock of Love Reunion Show. Now mind you, I only started watching it halfway through the season, but from what I saw from the recaps - I didn't miss much. Let me first say that I was surprised. Really surprised. A Jes & Heather hug? Wow. And for Jes to basically tell Bret & Heather they deserve each other? What a woman! Yeah Jes!

But let me also say that I hated Heather. I hated when she totally disregarded Bret needing to eat on their last date. When you are with someone, you keep their health in the back of your mind and if someone you know has diabetes and they say "I need to eat" your brain really should stop you and make you think twice. Lets hope there was some major editing going on there.
But hey... if Heather is really what Bret wants, more power to him! I can handle that. I've been a fan of his since the 80's and even got to see him in a little hick town ballroom in 92. (And yes, I have washed my hand since then!) He's a very sincere guy... at least from what the cameras show. I wish him the best and it was a great show. Had me hooked, thats for sure.

I gotta give Jes kudos for what she did - she didn't play the part that some would just for the fame part of it. She walked down her own road and made her own fame - crushing Bret on tv. But was it really crushing him? I don't think so... I think he got what he wanted in the end and Heather? The tears throughout the reunion showed her true feelings - she really does love Bret.

CSI Tonight!

I've been waiting months for this!
