What is your age? Approximately 26.75
What annoys you? I have little to no tolerance for rudeness or meanness.
The Letter B
When is your birthday? March 30. Don't worry, I'll remind you.
Who is your best friend? Kyle and Andrea. Also Danny, Rachel, and Em. Do I have to pick just one?
Who's your crush? In case you haven't been paying attention: Clive Owen.
When was the last time you cried? About a week ago I think, which is actually a while for me.
What's your favorite kind of dog? Mine.
What day of the week is it? Thursday
Have you ever been in the emergency room? Yes, but not for anything particularly interesting.
What's the easiest thing ever to do? Umm. I dunno. Breathing?
Do you use fly swatters? I really try to let the little buggers be.
Have you ever used a foghorn? Can't say I've had the opportunity.
Are you a giver or a taker? Umm. What are we talking about?
Do you like gummy candies? Yes! Especially putting gummy worms in your mouth and getting them all slobbery and then pulling them out and dangling them in people's faces and disgusting them.
What color is your hair? Dark brown. A little lighter brown naturally.
Have you ever ice skated? I even took figure skating lessons when I was a kid. Last time I tried to skate I hurt myself though :D
Do you play an instrument? I played cello in school but haven't with any seriousness in a long while. I often think about picking it up again, though.
Do you wear jewelry? I wear my wedding and engagement rings and my grandmother's wedding ring, which she gave me recently.
Do you want kids? Probably.
Where did you go for kindergarten? Technically, I skipped kindergarten and did something called "Pre-First Grade." Bit of a long and not very interesting story. Anyhow, it was at a place called the Clarksville Academy.
Do you still watch Disney movies? Sure. I went and saw Ratatouille in the theater.
Do you like mangos? Oh hell yeah. Used to eat them all the time in Vietnam, fresh and cheap.
What is your real name? Brittney
Whats your favorite number? 2
Do you prefer night over day? Probably, but I do dig me some sunshine.
Are you an only child? I was until I was 15. Now I have three sisters and a brother. (Technically they're all half-siblings, but fuck that - they're my siblings.)
What are your pet peeves? Didn't we cover this? Rudeness and meanness. Also when people don't flush the toilet, but that I can pretty much deal with. Being blatantly rude or mean to me or others is one of the few things that will make me lose all respect for you.
What's a personality trait you look for in people? A sense of humor, the more twisted the better.
Are you quick to judge people? Naah.
Are you one to cry? I am a bit of a crier, yes. But not if anyone else is around.
Do you like snow? Yes but it would be even better if it didn't have to be cold for it to happen.
What time did you wake up? Alarm went off at 9.
Underwear or boxers? Umm. Boy briefs. Is that a choice?
Where do you want to go on vacation? Anywhere. Everywhere. I'm going to Costa Rica and Panama in February!
Have you seen the x-games? Snippets I think, on ESPN
Do you own a xylophone? No, but when I was a preschool teacher I had frequent opportunity to play with those little rainbow-colored Fisher-Price ones.
What's one thing you yearn for? Not your business.
Do you believe in the zodiac? Normally I wouldn't, but it's turned out to be true enough that it intrigues me.
Favorite zoo animal? Bears. They walk all funny.

Well that was amusing, at least.
.
The lovely Becca posted a career-quiz meme: "Go to careercruising.com. Enter nycareers as the username and landmark as the password. Take the “Career Matchmaker” survey. Post the top ten results."
The suggestions offered to me were amusingly scattered, which may have something to do with the fact that I took the quiz about ten minutes after waking up, and something to do with the fact that I myself am "amusingly scattered." Anyhow, here lie ten possible destinies:
1. Kinesiologist
2. Animator
3. Desktop Publisher
4. Fashion Designer
5. Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator
6. Stock Clerk
7. Camera Operator
8. Costume Designer
9. Horticulturist
10. Artist
I might take it again later and see if I can get #26, "Stuntperson," higher up on the list. Preferably right under "Stock Clerk," because everyone knows that the two of those together are just code for "Superhero," and I look awesome in tights.
And by the way... you're it.

You're it.
Via Saska:
1. Make a list of four of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and note four official IMDb plot keywords for each film.
3. Post the plot keywords here and wait for hilarity to ensue, or else for people to make guesses about what films they are.
And away we go!
A) coming of age, sociopath, social climber, cow tippingB) romantic comedy, aristocracy, deafness, homosexual
C) head in toilet, cowboy, supermarket, wheelchair
D) fraternity, chihuahua, manicurist, trial
Have at 'em, Voxxers.
And you thought the meme-tastic action was over - Ha! I was also tagged, a lil' bit ago, by my Mom, who instructed me to list five dream careers. Here goes.
1) Rock Star
Okay, so she listed this one too. But hey, it runs in the family. Too bad the musical talent bit skipped right over me.
2) Lingerie model
Standing around in pretty underwear all day? Yeah, I can handle that. And I'm pretty sure you get to keep it afterwards.
3) Bond Girl
You get to be super tough AND shag James Bond.
4) Academic
I would sit in my Ivory Tower all day, reading books, eating cookies, and writing long, intricate papers about topics nobody cared about but me. And I wouldn't have to work weekends.
5) Mistress to Mister Clive Owen
Oh, come on, like you wouldn't?
Oh, and I have to tag, so - Danny and Yayagirl, go!!
Yep, I got myself tagged - "Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 5 facts about yourself. Then choose 5 people you want to tag and list their names. Then leave a comment on their blog letting them know they’ve been tagged."
So, here goes.
1) I was a Girl Scout for 12 years. I went to Girl Scout camp every summer for seven years, and when I was in high school, I won the Girl Scout Silver Award for community service.
2) In high school, to impress a boy, I scored free tickets to see Korn. However, when we got to Will Call, they weren't there. Amazingly, there was someone standing on the sidewalk giving away tickets, so we got in anyway. He dragged me into the mosh pit, and I ended up having tons of fun.
3) I've been in two TV commercials, one for a fishing-themed music compilation (yep, really), and one for some shopping malls in the midwest. I've never seen either of them on TV.
4) Supposedly, the man who played Alfred on the original Batman series was my grandmother's cousin.
5) Though I'm right handed, I bat lefty when I play baseball or softball.
Alrighty... that only took like 2 hours. And now you're up, Yayagirl, Emily Ann, Brock, Caryn, and Brenda!
