Voluntary Questionnaire:
1.) What is your favorite dessert? Chocolate
2.) What are some of your favorite hobbies? Cross-stich, walking, reading, TV
3.) What colors do you like? Browns, greens, natural colors
4.) What is your favorite candy? Chocolate, of course!
5.) Do you collect anything? Nope, unless animals count and I'm trying to hold steady at 7
6.) What is your style? (ie..country..victorian..punk) I don't think I have a style! I'm not a girly-girl, I'm the down to earth, live & let live type. I don't have pictures on my walls yet, but hopefully someday I will. I think they'll be contemporary
7.) Allergic to anything? Morphine, but I doubt anyone would send me that anyway
8.) If t-shirt or sweatshirt is ok - give size: Medium
9.) Would you like a local item from your SS's home town? (ie...ornament, bar glass, coffee mug, fridge magnet, etc.). Sure! I'd love to know who you are, what's important to you, what life is like for you.
10.) Anything else your SS should know? I like puzzling over things and have been known to come up with odd ideas. I asked friends recently if the earth as a planet gains weight. After all, the population of humans is getting heavier, are they adding to the weight of the planet? I do things some people think are odd. I tore out the carpeting in my dining room and used broken tiles to mosaic the whole thing, and then did the stairs down to the garage, too, so they'd match. Don't ever do that! It took four years. I used a hand drill to aerate my yard. My dad says I'm nuts, but he didn't seem to have a problem sharing the story with his friends! I guess I have a weird sense of humor or something. Oh yeah -- I don't talk a lot in person, but I "talk" too much in writing!  :rofl;
