Eleven Things

Sharp eleven by Caro's Line on flickr
The lovely Megan Whitmer tagged me for a post in which I need to answer eleven questions about myself. Because I know you all want to hear more about me ;)

So here goes:

1. What's your favorite song?

This week? Today? Ever? I mean, I can only pick one?!? Based on my iTunes play count, Light Up Ahead by Further Seems Forever is the one I listen to most that isn't one of my son's songs. And it is an awesome song:


2. How many times did you fail your driver's license test?

Only once. But I was almost 19, so I guess that's my excuse? Because I'm certainly not a great driver.

3. Who's your celebrity crush?

Umm... I usually have talent crushes (oh, Ryan O'Neal, you can write lyrics for me any day), but Johnny Depp is a perpetual favorite. Or Noah Wyle. And if I'm really honest, the Harris brothers from Deadliest Catch.



4. What is the most disgusting word you can think of?

Phlegm. Look at it. LOOK!

5. Don't you think Tombstone is the best movie of all time?

Don't hate me, but it has been many, many years since I watched it last. Like 15 or something. Then again, it's been months since I've watched any movie that doesn't entertain a two-year-old.

6. If you had to eat one food every day for a year, what would it be?

Without consequences? Pizza. With? Peaches.

7. What are your top 3 favorite books?

The Man in the Brown Coat by Agatha Christie, Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry and A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle.

8. Have you ever met anyone in real life that you originally met on Twitter?

Nope. But we need to change that.

9. What was your first job?

My first real job was busing tables at Bob Evans. It sucked.

10. How to make a PB&J?

I'm a glutton. I put peanut butter on both slices of bread, then jelly on top of both, then smash it all together.

11. Name one thing that majorly creeps you out.

I've mentioned this before, but fish. Creep me out like nothing else. I wake up in the middle of the night convinced there are fish in my sheets & panic.

(It's going to eat my SOUL!)

3. Who was your very first celebrity crush?

11. Name one thing that majorly creeps you out.

  2. My wife is terrified of fish as well. I once made the mistake of giggling after she woke me up to tell me she'd had a nightmare about goldfish. Once.

  3. Jenny, I loved Gathering Blue too, eventhough a lot of readers seemed disappointed that it wasn't exactly a sequel to The Giver.

    If I decide to post 11 things, I'll let you know. :)

  4. Cool answers! I always like finding out more about fellow bloggers :) And I also think the questions one asks are very telling of a person. Thanks for sharing!

  5. Good song, I've never heard of that group before! And liked the rest of your answers too, that picture of your first job made me laugh. "Now hiring." *chuckles*

  6. I've already been tagged, but I'll answer one question here because I wanna. :D

    My very first celebrity crush... was Dick van Dyke. My little girl self watched Mary Poppins and fell in love with his accent, and with his smile, and with what a whoppingly good time he seemed like he'd be. :D not even kidding.
