Another stolen meme

Why do I love these things so much? I don't know, but they make me all tingly inside.

48 Things You Could Care Less About

1. FIRST NAME? Emma
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My dad's aunt who lived in Belfast. I mentioned before that she was the only member of his family that my mum liked. It was a toss up between Emma and Fiona.
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Yesterday maybe.
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I prefer my printing.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCHMEAT? Roasted chicken from the Safeway deli.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? I'd find me awfully quiet, but yes.
7. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? You're reading it.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No, because they weigh you first.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? I'm a porridge sort of girl, but I kind of fancy French Toast Crunch. Not that I've seen it in about a year.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? No, because then I would be required to do them up again. These days I am mostly wearing crocs, ugly yet comfy and require zero effort to throw on when you have 2 babies, a diaper bag, a purse and a garbage bag to get out the house.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? When I have to be.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Pralines and cream.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My grumpy disposition.
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Oh, that's a hard one.
18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? This must have started out as an email. But definitely tell me if you do it.
19. WHAT COLOR PANTS, SHIRT AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Blue jeans, brown, no shoes at moment. I'm more Canadian than British in that aspect.
20. LAST THING YOU ATE? some BBQ flavoured bits and bites.
21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? I'm watching Six Degrees.
22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? uuuuuummmmmm...Perfect Plum. It's a stampin' up marker, not a crayon.
23. FAVORITE SMELL? The same as the last time I answered this question...the smell of Saoirse and Sophie's hair after a bath with Gerbers Oatmeal Wash. This might change with Christmas coming.
24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? My friend Jen. Or was it Candy? No, no, it was me mammy. I had to check my phone for that one. I called to ask her to get the Fisher Price Little People house for Saoirse's birthday. It's on sale.
25. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO? Eyes, bum, and yes, I totally admit to checking out the package. Not that it matters.
26. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON you stole THIS from? I don't know her but through her blog.
27. FAVORITE DRINK? Tea.
28. FAVORITE SPORT? Soccer or hockey.
29. EYE COLOR? Blue.
30. HAT SIZE? Huh? Hats? I don't wear hats. Unless it's -40 or something.
31. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No, but I should wear glasses.
32. FAVORITE FOOD? I'm going through a Greek phrase at the moment.
33. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy Endings.
35. SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter. Unless it actually is winter.
36. HUGS OR KISSES? Both. Given by the right people of course.
37. FAVORITE DESSERT? Some sort of cheesecake. Though Moxie's does a great white chocolate brownie.
38. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Yes, this started life as an email.
39. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Definitely an email.
40. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? Some Jill Mansell one and an anthology by female Irish authors on divorce called If Only.
41. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE Pad? The Tasmanian Devil.
42. WHAT DID YOU WATCH LAST NIGHT ON TV? How I Met Your Mother. I so love that show. Why do I never name Neil Patrick Harris as the celebrity I would sleep with when I do these things? Other than that, Wednesdays are crap. Justice was supposed to be on but wasn't.
43. FAVORITE SOUNDS? Saoirse laughing, Sophie cooing and that sighing sound she makes while sleeping.
44. ROLLING STONE OR BEATLES? Beatles
45. THE FURTHEST YOU'VE BEEN FROM HOME? Canary Islands, I think. I'm no good with distances.
46. WHAT'S YOUR SPECIAL TALENT? I haven't developed any special talents in the last few months so it's still my ability to orgasm without being touched. TMI? Sorry, but it is my blog.
47. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Sutton Coldfield, England. Birmingham, just in case you think I was born in the arse end of nowhere.
48. WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? I stole it from Lost Somewhere in Antrim. But at least I told her.

1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up? Wayne Rooney. While in the midst of a Manchester United/ Chelsea games in the hopes that a few more players might go along with him.

2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be? Can I not get rid of a whole genre? I would totally get rid of rap.

3. Who would you really like to just punch in the face? Again, Wayne Rooney. Closer to home, it would be Alberta Conservative leader hopeful Mark Norris who goes to my church and is just so slimey.

4. What is your favorite cheese? Havarti, with jalapenos. Yum.

5. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your immediate disposal. What kind will you make? Roasted chicken on a roasted garlic sub with havarti, red onions, fresh mushrooms, red pepper, banana peppers, extra jalapenos, mustard and mayo.

6. You have the opportunity to sleep with the movie celebrity of your choice. We are talking no-strings-attached sex and it can only happen once. Who is the lucky celebrity of your choice? Hmmmm....I'm not a huge movie star person but I'll say Liam Neeson, just so if I can see if his penis is really as huge as they say it is. However, I would be slightly uncomfortable sleeping with someonewho had the same name as my son. Which is why I should be grateful that William is from the wrong side of Belfast and couldn't have his name shortened to Liam.

7. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Who do you pick? I still have a bit of a thing for James Blunt, who's concert I am sadly not going to on November 2. He would have to keep his mouth shut though as I would not be at all aroused if I had to listen to that upper class British accent.

8. Now that you've slept with two different people in a row, you seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy shit, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it? A hundred? Who's the poor bastard who thought up this question? I guess I'd get a paper trimmer from Staples for $40 and then buy books with the rest. A hardcover perhaps instead of waiting for the paperback.

9. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go? Ireland, of course.

10. Upon arrival to the aforementioned location, you get off the plane and discover another hundred-dollar bill. Shit! Now that you are in the new location, what are you gonna do? A hundred dollars in Ireland isn't going to get me very far. I sure hope I brought some of my own money and a few credit cards. I guess I'd get William a Glentoran shirt, which means I better be up north.

11. An angel appears out of Heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. It is...? I don't drink enough to appreciate this question. Tequila, if I had to pick one but I sure hope she's coughing up for the mix too.

12. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there? I once posted that if I could pick any time period to live in it would be Ireland during the Easter Rising - Civil War period or England during WWII. I'll stick with those. What would I do? Avoid getting killed I suppose. I just want to observe.

13. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place? No rules, I'm easygoing.

14. You have been given the opportunity to create the half-hour TV show of your own design. What is it called and what's the premise? I am going to alienate at least half of the world's population by having a scrapbooking show, specifically designed for morons like me who enjoy step by step instructions.

15. What is your favorite curse word? For me to use it would be fuck or any variant of that word...feck, focker, etc... Secretly, I love the word cunt. Not when used to describe a part of the female anatomy, but when used in anger and said with an Irish accent. Example: That fuckin' cunt Rooney, ya wee cunt Giggs. Insert Man U player of choice.

16. One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do? Ummm... totally freak out. Much like I did when I was 6 and saw the ghost of Old Mother Hubbard at the end of my bed.

17. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don't worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely.So what's the item? Photos.

18. The Angel of Death has descended upon you. Fortunately, the Angel of Death is pretty cool and in a good mood, and it offers you a half-hour to do whatever you want before you bite it. Whatcha gonna do in that half-hour? Tell my kids I love them and that I'm sorry I was such a shite mum. I was going to say have sex, but I wouldn't like to think that the Angel of Death was watching and maybe snickering.

19. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What's it gonna be? The chances of me eating vegetables is slim to none, but I'd say the ability to be invisible so that I could hear all sorts of conversations I shouldn't.

20. You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again? When I lost my virginity I suppose. I wouldn have stopped it before it went all the way.

21. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be? (the answer "nothing" doesn't count)

22. You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super-powers. But check out this cool shit... you can move to anywhere else in the world! Bitchin'! What country are you going to live in now? Haha at bitchin'. I wonder how old the writer of this meme is. I must have done some massive damage with my invisibility powers to actually get kicked out of Canada so I guess I'd go south and create havoc for the Bush administration. Take away his papers mid speech or something so we can see him in full eejit mode.

23. This question still counts, even for those of you who are under age. Check it out. You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be? You can ban me from the all, remember my unlimited supply of tequila. Emma = cheap drunk.

24. Hopefully you didn't mention this in the super-powers question.... If you did, then we'll just expand on that. Check it out... Suddenly, you have gained the ability to FLOAT!!! Whose house are you going to float to first, and be like "Dude, check it out... I can FLOAT!"? I can not think of a single person that I would call dude so I guess no one. Unless I could also go back in time to my highschool days and then I might have called someone dude. Perhaps my old penpal Justin. That would mean floating to London, and I'm not entirely convinced about my floating stamina. Would I fall into the Atlantic Ocean?

25. The constant absorption of magical moonbeams mixed with the radioactive vegetables you consumed earlier has given you the ability to resurrect the dead famous-person of your choice. So which celebrity will you bring back to life? Does it have to be a celebrity? River Phoenix if so and only if I can sleep with him rather than Liam Neeson. Michael Collins, if not.

26. The Celestial Gates of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn't think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person, etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back? I wouldn't bring back a family member, I believe they are in a better place now since they were sick when they died.

27. What's your theme song? "Not Ready to Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks because of this verse:
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting


I borrowed this from Eric and I had such fun with it I won't give it back. I successfully wasted an entire morning.
