It’s Time for…20 Questions!

I’ve seen this survey floating around and thought it looked like fun. Here goes!

1) What is one of your favorite ways to spend a Saturday?

Oh man, I could go on about this.  The perfect Saturday for me means waking up without an alarm, making a delicious bowl of oats, and fooling around on the computer with a mug of tea or coffee in hand. Usually I just browse the Internet, but sometimes I’ll play The Sims 2. Am I the only one who still plays that game?

“Carrot cake” oats with coconut butter

2) List your top three favorite TV shows.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• True Blood
• For a laugh…The Mighty Boosh

3) Would you rather be in pictures or take them?

Take them.  My grandma was the photographer for my family, and we have so many wonderful pictures because of her. She died a few years ago, and I’d like to follow in her footsteps.

4) Why do you blog?

I love connecting with other people who have similar interests in health, nutrition and fitness. Not many people I know in person have those interests, so I’m happy to be a part of this community.

5) Share five websites that you visit regularly…

• Gmail
• Google Reader
• Live Journal (I know, I still have one.)
• Twitter
• Yahoo News (AKA celebrity gossip and random Youtube videos)

6) If you could have lunch with one person from your Twitter list who would it be?

Misha Collins. I think I would die.

7) List a few of your favorite snacks.

Yogurt with granola and/or fruit

Peanut Butter Banana Hot Chocolate

Trail Mix

8 ) Do you have a pet? If so, what kind?

Currently petless. I want a kitty.

9) Which three material possessions would you struggle to live without?

LAPTOP.

iPod Touch (for checking Twitter and Google Reader between classes)

My food processor. Love that thing.

10) What’s your favorite drink?

Hot tea! Preferably black tea.

11) Do you enjoy cooking?

Yes! I do have a food blog, after all. I find it relaxing, and it’s a nice to do something else after working/going to classes.

12) Do you have children?

Uh, no. I don’t really want one either.

13) What are your favorite hobbies?

Reading, yoga, writing, cooking

14) Would you consider yourself to be shy or outgoing?

Shy. To be honest, it took a lot of courage just to start this blog. About a year and a half ago,  it would take me 5+ minutes just leave a comment on another blog because I would worry about every little thing. So glad I got over that!

15) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change?

Well, related to the previous question, I wish I was more confident.  But as I know from the last few years, it’s a long process, and I’d much rather gain confidence from life experiences than get it instantly. It’s an amazing feeling to be able to look back and see how far you’ve come on your own.

16) Who is your favorite actor/actress?

Hm, tough one. I like Johnny Depp, of course, and Nicole Kidman.

17) What’s the coolest thing you’ve done this week?

I started my second week of classes and went the dentist. Yeah, something fun needs to happen this weekend.

18) Do you live near your family or far from them?

I live WITH my family.

19) List three of your talents.

• Writing. I prefer analytical or research writing over creative writing. I suppose that sounds boring, but I enjoy it. I was really proud that one of the essays I wrote in college got published in a journal.
• Memory. For some reason, I’ve always been good at memorizing random facts and vocab words. My brain is a sponge.
• Music. I’ve played the violin since I was eight and started piano in high school. I’m certainly not an amazing violinist, but I did get a chance to play with the band Kansas with my college orchestra.

20) What is your greatest attribute?

Gosh, this survey went from favorite TV shows to this? Okay, I’ll go with my perseverance. When I want something, I just go for it.

Answer one of the questions above. GO!
