Holiday Questionnaire, round 8.

Well this is it for the holiday fun! Tomorrow starts the year long set of questions I know you're all dying to read.

50. What words make me feel the best about myself.

Smart, creative, funny. I'm gonna be shallow a second and say pretty or beautiful. Organized, ambitious, reliable.

51. Something I should have said a long time ago.

I've said it, but I should have listened to myself; Never give someone more power over you than you have over yourself.

52. What my last text message says.

To me: "Hi Stephanie!" he says.
From me: Hey stud.

53. What I hate most about myself.

What a loaded question.

54. Biggest turn ons.

Intelligence, knowing what you want and going for it, being reliable, compassion. All I can think of at the moment.

55. What words upset me the most.

Words? I have no idea. There aren't many specific single words that upset me.

56. What I hated the most about school.

The other students. People suck.

Holiday Questionnaire, round 7.

43. Do I like where I am right now.

For the most part, yes. It would be nice to get my career started and whatnot, but overall, yes.

44. What can I hear right now.

The kids being child tornadoes.

45. My relationship with my sibling.

We're good now. We talk and get along. It took a long time though.

46. Who was your first boyfriend.

If I'm recalling correctly, his name was Kyle. We were in grade 9. Our first date was to see The Butterfly Effect. We dated for 3 or 4 months before I broke up with him. Yeah, that was about it.

47. My biggest worry currently.

Currently, it's getting daycare figured out before I start school on the 13th. I have a potential sitter but nothing is set down yet.

48. Something I've wished for repeatedly.

Oh, a bunch of things.

49. My relationship with my parents.

I haven't talked to my dad in over 3 years.

I talk to my mom every day and see her multiple times a week. We're quiet close. Now that I'm an adult and have kids of my own we're more like friends than mother/daughter.

Holiday Questionnaire, round 6.

36. What your dream house would look like.

I've actually got it all mapped out, on grid paper no less.

The downstairs would mainly be the living area, dining room and kitchen. The upstairs would have 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, one being a master bath. The basement would be finished with a giant living area, bathroom, and guest room.

If I were to live in it today, Ma'am would get the basement bedroom when she turns 13, then Bub would get it when she moves out.

There would be those vines covering one side of the house. A nice big wrap around deck.

I really hope I get to build this house one day.

37. How many kids I want in the future.

Haha, uhm, none. Some days I already think I have two too many. I definitely do not want more.

38. My idea of a perfect date.

We would go somewhere fun and lively. Amusement park, comedy club, the beach, something like that. We would talk because we want to, not just because there's nothing else to do. What happens after that would depend on the stage of the relationship. If it was the first few dates I'd get a kiss, or few, and go home alone. If it was later on, we'd decide what to do from there.

39. What I'm really good at.

I don't know if I'm really good at anything specifically, but I am quite creative. I hear often that an idea I have someone else wouldn't have thought of.

I don't know if this counts, but I believe I'm good at being a friend. I listen, offer advice, support, or whatever the situation calls for. I don't go blabbing someone's problems around just for fun.

40. My most traumatic experience.

I'm going to skip this one.

41. Where I would like to live.

Short term (as in not long at a time), everywhere. I want to back pack around Europe and see everything.

Long term (as in my forever home), back in Ontario somewhere. Maybe the country.

42. The nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

I can't really pinpoint one thing because at times down the line someone could have said just the right thing in that moment.

Holiday Questionnaire, round 5.

29. My most embarrassing moment.

What makes this list think I'd spread that around the internet lol.

Not the most embarrassing, but pretty up there; I was in grade school, maybe grade 4, when my mom still bought my clothes. I was playing sand tag at school and was sitting on a swing. A girl sat on my lap to avoid the "catcher" and I fell backwards. I happened to be wearing those pants with the elastic band that goes under your foot and in your shoes. I fell, but my pants didn't. I don't know how many people saw my undies, but surprisingly no one said anything to me.

30. Two of my insecurities.

Again, why would I tell you lol.

I suppose one would be my weight/body. After having spawns, it's not where I'd like it to be. And that's all you get.

31. What I would do if I won the lottery.

That would depend on how much I won. I would buy myself a car and move into a house. Pay whatever debt I have and get my credit up. If it was an entirely large sum of money I would start building my dream house. I'd take myself, the kids, a few family members and friends on a vacation somewhere.

32. A description of the boy I like.

Which one.

Just kidding lol. Uhm, he's tall. 6 foot 1 I think he said. Tall enough that I have to stand on tip toes to hug him, which I love. He's smart, funny, good looking, nice, blah blah. He has tattoos. Doesn't mind that I have a multitude of piercings. Has a kid that he loves and spends time with. He's good with Bub, and although he hasn't met Ma'am yet I bet he'd be good with her as well.

33. What I love most about myself.

I would say that I like who I've become considering all of the shit I've had to go through to get here. I could have turned out pretty bad, but I bucked up and made it through.

34. My biggest pet peeves.

Oh, Lord. There are so many.

When people put the toilet paper the wrong way.
When people complain and bitch about someone doing/saying something when meanwhile they do the exact same thing.
When people have no problems accepting help/gifts/advice/whatever but when asked for the same thing they can't be arsed unless it benefits them.
When people make plans (ESPECIALLY when it involves my kids) and then cancel last minute or don't cancel at all and just don't show up.
When people don't rinse their dishes before putting them in the sink.

I'll stop there before I actually start getting angry lol.

And I don't know if those were pet peeves per se, or more like things I just find annoying. Oh well.

35. What bands I've seen live.

Short answer; none.

I'd like to see Linkin Park and Hedley.

Holiday Questionnaire, round 4.

22. The meanest thing anyone has every said to me.

Shit. I don't know. I guess that might depend on things that are meant to be mean, things that are meant to be helpful but the intent is mean, and things that aren't meant to be mean but end up turning out that way.

Couldn't say for certain what any of them are.

23. Where I've lived before.

Kitchener, Teeswater, Crystal Beach, Waterloo.

24. I'll love you if...

Jeezus, what is with these questions today?

Don't ask me what makes me love you. I pick the wrong people to give that to.

25. What are my future plans.

Go through that program again, pinpoint exactly what type of course I want to get into, get into that. After that, find work and move up in my career. Figure out who I am and embrace it. Move into a house, maybe move from the city. Finding a spouse would be nice but it's not included.

26. An internal conflict I have with myself.

I want to lose weight but I love food. Every time.

27. What I'm doing tomorrow.

Saturday. I actually have no idea. Ma'am is with her dad until Sunday. I imagine either laundry or going to my mom's or something. Who knows.

28. What I want to be when I get older.

Ideally, a police officer. I'll have to see when I get there.
