Survey of the Day

I love surveys.  Allll kinds of surveys.  They used to be my favorite part of the teeny-bopper magazines I would plow thru when I was younger because I felt like I was really getting to know the person.  This also could have been why I thought I was "totally gonna to marry Prince William" because I KNEW him on a personal level....thanks to the surveys.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do some that I've found in various magazines, tv interviews & blog posts.  Feel free to do these on your own if you'd like, I do not own the questions!  :)

1.  Biggest Fear- this is a tie for me.  I am, like all 5-year-old children, afraid of the dark.  Well, not so much the dark rather than, I am scared to walk around in the dark.  However, I am also terrified of butterflies.  Yes, butterflies.  Stemming from a visit to South Florida's Butterfly World when I was about 10, I was covered in sunblock (as most red-headed, non-Floridian children are) and the butterflies LOVED it.  They wouldn't get off of me and I had a panic attack.  At any rate...Butterfly World is NOT on our family's list of top places to visit and never will be.

2.  Last Time You Cried-  I always tear up during the Olympics (welcome to my life the last week and a half), but the last time I really cried was when I went to visit my friend Katherine in June.  We were saying our goodbyes and she told me not to cry...my reply?  "Too late!"

3.  Childhood Nickname- I'm sure like many other people, the answer to this is many.  There were the obvious choices, Les being the most popular.  Although my mom hated it when people called me that!  My Poppa coined Lester waaaay before anyone else, and my friends had a chain of names: Lursley...Lurley...and finally, Lur.  Yes, Lur.  I even had a necklace that said that.  But I probably enjoyed my Peepaw's nickname the most.  He called me Pixie.  There's no big long background story for it...he just called me Pixie.  And I love it.

4.  Favorite Movie- Gooosh, there's so many!  I love a LOT of movies, people.  But my favorite of ALL time would have to be "Mannequin".  Is anyone with me on this?  It's classic 80s and if you haven't seen, do so immediately!  Kim Cattrall & Andrew McCarthy?  SO good.  Also the start of my love with Jefferson Starship with their credits classic "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now".  It's cheesy, predictable and everything a good 80s movie should be.

5.  What would you spend your last $20 on?- I'd like to say I have some amazing answer here like, donate it to charity or put it in the bank.  But alas, I would definitely spend it on food.  :/  I know some of you feel me on this one!  If I get a shrimp tempura bento box, a small harusame salad and a diet coke, I'll still have $5 left over for tip (how nice of me!) and a small dessert!  Or, if the tip ate up the $5, I would definitely get a fortune cookie.  :)  Yeah...that sounds good.

6.  Top on your Bucket List- Of course there are tons of things I want to do before I die, but definitely tops on the list would be to have a family; be a mother.  I don't feel like I need to explain this to you all...you know what I mean, yes?  Yes.  Good.  :)

7.  Sum Yourself Up In A Song Title- "Home Life" by John Mayer.  Good song; listen immediately.



Fun!  Thanks for reading!
