I wish I was like you, easily amused

I usually don’t do these because I answer enough questions on a daily basis from the women in my family.  But I’m bored and I need something mindless to do.  Also, this is way easier than that “25 Things” facebook meme because I don’t have to pick out 25 random things.  I just answer the questions.  Mindless.

I’m supposed to tag other people, but none of my friends blog anymore and I don’t have any faceless blogger friends, sooooooooo here we go.

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? John and Charles Wesley.  John founded the Methodist Church and Charles wrote half of the hymns they sing.  Also, I think my parents just like giving their kids names that make them sound like wealthy Brits.  Wesley.  Bradford.  Allison.  After all, my dad is King.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I think after my grandfather died.  I did tear up a little during The Family Stone because its an eerily similar story to me and mom, minus the death part.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I’m indifferent.  It’s not great.  It’s not horrible.  Although, I did get an N (needs improvement) one semester in 4th grade for handwriting.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Does chicken salad count?  If not, corned beef.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? No.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Of course.  In certain situations, I can make you look comparatively less assholish and cynical.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM? Well, only once in a blue moon.  Stupid question.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? I have a slight aversion to heights.  But, that just makes going on roller coasters more fun.  So, yeah.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Crispix.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Only my dress shoes.  But, that’s only because you can’t get the shoe trees in them otherwise.

12. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Breyer’s Coffee.  Edy’s Cookies and Cream.

13. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? When speaking to me, if they look me in the eye.  If not, whether their pants are the right length.  Is it really that difficult to go to a tailor?

14. RED OR PINK? Red.

15. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? At times I can come off as a bit aloof, which, I suppose is because sometimes I am a bit aloof.  Don’t take it personally.  If I really don’t like you, you’ll know.

16. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My grandfather.

17. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLETE THIS LIST? Uh, was this question just thrown in so someone could call this “40 Questions” instead of “39 Questions”?

18. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Gray sweatpants.  No shoes.

19. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? Radiohead – Idioteque.

20. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Navy?

21. FAVORITE SMELLS? The smell of an ice rink.  There’s no way I could describe what that smells like, but it is a distinctly enjoyable smell.  Like the smell of a new car.

22. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? My dad.

23. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?  Another stupid question.  No one sent this to me, so I guess I sent this to myself?  So, yeah.

24. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Ice Hockey.

25. HAIR COLOR? Black.

26. EYE COLOR? Brown.

27. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No.

28. FAVORITE FOOD? Jameson.  A properly cooked medium rare ribeye.  My last meal would be a ribeye with a side of asparagus with a glass of Jameson to finish it off.

29. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Scary movies bore me.

30. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Pineapple Express.  By myself.  You really shouldn’t watch funny movies by yourself.

31. SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter.

32. HUGS OR KISSES? Kisses.

33. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Eh, I’m not tagging anyone.

34. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Eh, I’m not tagging anyone.

35. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.  Outliers was decidedly better.

36. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? I don’t have a mousepad.

37. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT? Maryland-Duke game.

38. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? The Rolling Stones.

39. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? China.

40. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Sibley Memorial Hospital.  Washington, D.C.
