I’m sure there are better things I could be typing today, but I’ll do this today – it’s a goofy little questionnaire from Facebook. My brain is tired. I hope these questions are easy – I haven’t even read it through yet.
I’m doing this because I never, repeat never, fill these things out when they come in email or wherever, and I’ve been sick all week and figured why not.
This is one of those things you’re supposed to tag people and they tag you back and all that – but I’ll leave that part to Facebook. You guys can copy and paste your own answers on your blogs if you like.
Presenting a rare off-the-cuff interview with Linda Paulson Adams, semi-not-quite-famous author ;-p LOL.
Autographs afterward in the Food Court.
Thanks!
***********FOODOLOGY***************
1. What is your salad dressing of choice? Red Robin’s Ranch
2. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?
Does Red Robin count? Or do I have to put something snooty and sound all upscale? Because I’m just not.
3. What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick of?
Havarti cheese, fresh blueberries, Sockeye Salmon, Canadian Ice Cream
(obviously my budget will not tolerate this sort of abuse so that I can test out this theory)
wait, where’s number 4?? OK, I will invent one.
4.
Oh, nevermind, I guess I won’t. It’s not coming to me. Sorry.
5.What do you like to put on your bagel?
Who said I liked eating bagels? Ask Sarah instead.

I don’t know, I don’t use them. I think…. 3? Are there more in the garage Steve is trying to fix or get rid of?
2. What color cell phone do you have?
black & white
where’s number 3 now??
This is ridiculous. There should be a law that you should be able to count to 5 before inventing these things.

Mac. DUH. But I still use a PC until I can replace them all with MAC.
4. Have any idea how may Megahertz your computer has?

1. How many pairs of flip flops do you own?
one that I never wear, they hurt
2. Last time you had a run-in with the cops?

Rachel who forgot what time it is in WA when it’s 1 AM in Hawaii :-p
3. If you could change your eye color what would it be?
pssssh. Change perfectly cool eyes? Okay, okay, they’d be an exotic blue mixed with deep purple specks. Oh oh oh oh! And I would switch to cats’ eye irises while I’m at it, and they’ll reflect gold, not red, in photos.
Yeah!
4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic?
Oh I MISS SONIC! But I never added flavors.

QUEEN’s NEW BOX SET: HINT HINT HINT HINT ***HINT!!!!* That’s October 24, folks.
Or the Freddie Mercury Complete box set (12 CDs) but that’s flamin’ expensive.
Or maybe an iPhone.
And health and happiness.
9. Can you do push ups?
LOL, you’re kidding me, right?
10. Can you do a chin up?
ME? Why ask ME?
11. Does the future make you more nervous or excited?
Both.
12. Do you have any saved texts?

13. Ever been in a car wreck
yes
14. Do you have an accent?
I can make one up if you want me to
15. What is the last song to make you cry?
Now this is ambiguous. I call for a rewrite. It could mean the last song you listened to which elicited a response of tears, OR it could mean the last song on earth that would EVER bring you to tears.
If the first, I don’t remember but I’m sure it was a Sacrament song during Sacrament meeting, and it wasn’t the song that did it but the emotion I was feeling about my Savior at the time.
If the second, I think it would be inordinately difficult to cry while singing Jingle Bells.
16.Plans tonight?
DATE NIGHT, Boo-YAH!!! Every Friday, baby!!!
17. Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom?
Now; what IS rock bottom, and how can you really be sure you couldn’t sink any lower?
If we can more thoroughly define what rock bottom is, I could possibly answer this question.
Have I been slammed to my knees by life events, adversities, trials? Absolutely.
Have I ever found myself guilty of shameful behaviors due to addictive behaviors I needed to change? Nope.
18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday?
Two vitamin supplements ordered by the Dr., and that’s it. If I’d had the energy I’d have stopped at Draeger’s for more Clover Perfect Blueberry Kefir which I just ran out of. Man, that stuff is divine.
19. Have you ever been given roses??
Duh! Is my husband’s name Steve? And did he BRING ME ROSES AGAIN JUST YESTERDAY? Oh yes he did!!
20. Current worry?
My health equals that of Jack Sparrow, but I haven’t drunk any rum
21. Current hate right now?
I don’t hate. But I’m dissatisfied with the state of order in my home and my lack of energy to change it.
22. Met someone who changed your life?
Absolutely
23. How will you bring in the New Year?
Wishing I was at MaryJane’s house.
24. What song represents you?
What part of me? Really, only one song? And what aspect of me would it represent? This question requires essays of songs, an entire catalog with explanations. You expect me to boil down my entire existence into one three-minute sound bite? Ridiculous.
25. Name three of your FB friends who might complete this?
Probably the under-20-year olds. Steve will not. He may not even ever see this. 
26. Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?
Now, for what purpose? Why am I going back in time, and what are the parameters of my visit? Am I there as a mere unseen observer, or physically there interacting with the timeline and lousing it all up?
There’s a great deal of responsibility here, you see. It’s ponderous. The implications are frightening.
Whoever writes these things really needs to think the questions through more thoroughly before just tossing randomness out there like this. Preposterous.
27. Do you have any tattoos/piercings?
Pierced ears, and a single closed hole from a 2nd ear piercing in college.
I have NO TATTOOS. I am more unique than most of America.
Wait, scratch all that. I think for this one I’ll just answer:
“yes”
And let all my friends wonder if I have anything hidden they’ve never seen. LOL.
29. Will you be in a relationship 4 months from now?
Better be!!! 21 years with Steve and holding!
30. Does anyone love you?
yes
31. Ever had someone sing to you?
yes
32. When did you last cry?
Why do you care? I’d like to know when YOU last cried. What about, oh interviewer? Now we’re getting nosy.
33. Do you like to cuddle?
What’s it to you? Again, what is the point of asking this question?
I’m exceedingly picky about my cuddling. So there. Hmph.
34. Have you held hands with anyone today?
Now what’s next? I am beginning to worry where else this interview will go before it’s through.
No comment. Skip. I will skip now, before it gets any more graphic. Land sakes, what is the world coming to?!
where’s 35???
35.
There, I added a “35.” Someone else can write in a new question. Yawn. I haven’t got the moxy.
36. Are most of the friends in your life new or old?
Old, actually.
37. Do you like pulpy orange juice?
Now wait just one minute. THIS QUESTION BELONGS UP IN FOODOLOGY.
Why sort the answers into categories if one refuses to USE said categories, I wonder?
And the answer is yes.
If I buy Tropicana with LOTS OF PULP no one in the house will drink it but Me. bwahahahahahaha. Pulpy means I get it all to myself.
38. What was the last band you saw live?
Aw, man! Unfair, I have to go back too far.
~~~memory banks frazzled~~~
Ah! Must have been that band at a Sumner Summer Concert sometime last year.
39. If you could have any job, what would it be?
Broadway Star or Oscar-deserving Actress (note, Oscar-Winning and Oscar-deserving are not necessarily the same thing)
40. What was the best thing that happened to you today?
Can’t I come back and answer this on a different day?
I had enough oomph to make my bed.
OK, there. Not a super-fun answer, but this is that day.
And *I* am going to add one myself, one from “The Actor’s Studio” show on Bravo:
41. What’s your favorite sound?
for me… babies laughing is right up there at the top.
