65 Questions You've Probably Never Been Asked... stolen by me from.... LAH

1. First thing you wash in the shower? My hands I guess...because I always have to reach in there and make sure it's not too hot. oh yes friends.. I've been burned before. Seriously with this question? It's kinda weird. Because now all the readers are either picturing you naked or themselves...or thinking about soap.

2. What color is your favorite hoodie? grey. its my AXiD hoodie...given to me by my lil sis. She put my name on it because I loose everything. Still freaks me out when I walk into...say...wal-mart with it on and someone goes "Well Hello Melinda, how are you today?"

3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again? Yeah. He's cute.

7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having? i always remember my dreams when i first wake up but later in the day I can't. I did have this reoccurring dream about a ball of yarn. just thinking about it makes my elbows itchy. It just keeps rolling. and rolling. When will it end?!?!

(not really but, sometimes when I was a kid I would try to get in my dog's house...its so not fair, they're animals and they get their own house? To themselves? I shared a room with my little sister until I was 18! ::hands in the air:: I'm just sayin' as a kid I thought... "this is not right, where's my house?) Anyway... say I'm just chillin' kickin' it with my crew...sippin' on lemonade or eating a delicious bagel bite or two... and my friend's cousin's grandmother's dog's doggie house phone will ring and the next thing I know... my friend's cousin's grandma's dog, who i have never met before this day, says..."Herro? Oh, merinda... sure... Hey merinda rIts for rou... I rhink its your mom." and I'm like "I'm so sorry about this Scooby...my mom's a detective I swear she can find me anywhere on the planet. I'm like her Carmen Sandeigo."

46. Have you ever slapped someone? Funny story. Actually two funny stories. story number 1:

It was my freshman year of high school and I didn't know anyone in this biology class. I'm just innocently minding my own business when someone behind me begins tapping on my shoulder. So I turn around and go "Yes?" and the guy behind me... his name is Jason.... says "Nothing."

So I turn around and start paying attention again...and then he starts tapping again. I turn around and I'm like "WHAT!?!?!"

My teacher yells at me and says "Melinda, you need to stop talking and pay attention." and I'm like "But Mrs. (WAIT, I forgot her name, ok for the sake of this blog I'm gonna call her Mrs. Squinty Eyes bc that's all i can remember of her )

Ok... so anyway...I say "But Mrs. Squinty Eyes Jason was tapping me on the shoulder and annoying me..."

And Mrs. Squinty Eyes says, "I don't care, don't turn around again."

and I say "Well if he doesn't stop tapping me I'm going to slap him."

And Mrs. Squinty Eyes says, " Don't do that." I say, "What will happen if I do?" She looks at me sternly and says "Just don't."

SO of course right after Mrs. Squinty Eyes turns around Jason begins tapping me AGAIN and so I turn to him and say, " I warned you..." I stretch my hand out into a big high five position and WHAM! I high five that joker right across his FACE!! Oh the rush... my fingers were tingling....It was sweet satisfaction of victory tingling in my fingers... I don't think I'd ever slapped anyone before that moment... esp. a kinda stranger. it was so liberating to stand up for myself...it was so, so... OH SHIZ! I could feel Mrs. Squinty Eyes burning a hole in the back of my head with her eyes. I turn slowly to face her.... She did not look happy. She was about 5 shades of red...she looks at me disapprovingly and says in a low voice..."Melinda, OUTSIDE, NOW!"

I got detention for two weeks and had to write a paper on why I was sorry. My paper stated "I'm not sorry I hit him, I'm sorry he didn't stop tapping me." I was a peachy teenager, much fun to be around. Best part of this story? Jason and I became inseparable best friends after that. I had to remind him when he made me mad that I wasn't afraid to lay the smack down.... he never tried me again.

Oh, yeah... story number 2? Should I save that for a different Blog? I think I should.

47. Is your hair curly? yes. as a child everyone called me curly sue.

48) o goodness.... what's up with this question?

49. Do looks matter? people always say they don't but those people are probably ugly. so no, I don't think they matter.

50. Could you ever forgive a cheater? yes. people make mistakes.

51.... I don't know where it is.... my ipod. my glasses. my wallet. you name it I probably can't find it. I think all the gramps and grannies on a geriatrics ward in Tanner Hospital probably have a better memory than me.

52. Do you like your life right now? eh. sure. I just can't wait to move out of my house.

53. Do you sleep with the TV on? yes.

54. Can you handle the truth? I say I can but I do think it's tough for me to actually hear the truth.

55. Do you have good vision? no - if i'm not wearing my glasses and you're standing more than 20 feet away I will have no idea who you are. Exhibit A: I yelled at this girl yesterday... I was like "Stephanie!" and then realized she wasn't waving back. And she kinda gave me an eat shiz and I go, "I'm sorry you're not stephanie... i don't have my glasses on.."

Exhibit B: I chased a girl through the quad yelling "Sheridan, SHERIDAN!!!" She was a little freaked and out of breath, she finally turned around and was like "I'm NOT SHERIDAN!"

56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people? I dislike several people. Hate? Again my memory is so bad... I don't even know if I hate people because I can't remember.

57. How often do you talk on the phone? waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. like 3 yrs a day. that's right. YEARS. *that was actually a typo but then I realized matt's always saying "I'll talk to you in like a year" whenever i get on the phone.

58. The last person you held hands with? matthew. I love holding hands. its sweet. but i think everyone should keep disinfect near by...

59. What are you wearing? a reslife/sorority tshirt..its purple. And a pair of black shorts.

61. Where was your profile picture taken? at matt's grandpa and grandma Hofius' house two christmases ago.

62. Can you hula hoop? yes. I am a hula hooper. its true.

63. Do you have a job? yeah. I work .

64. What was the most recent thing you bought? umbrellas and decorations for the nuptials.

65. Have you ever crawled through a window? yeah...funny story. When I was a kid I got mad at my family for some reason and decided to run away. I turned up the music in my room, crawled out the window and "ran away." I got cold feet and went back home... my mom grounded me when I told her where I'd been. She hadn't even noticed I was gone :(

And that's all the time we have for the day. Thank you for tuning in.
