Weekly Survey

[do1you9love?]

1) Choosing from the beginning of The Walking Dead, which character are you? (if you haven't seen any of this, just type in "Walker". ) I wish I had been able to start this at the beginning. Now way too far behind to catch up. So I guess Walker it is

2) You're meeting Stephen King for the first time, how do you greet him?
I'd probably blush a lot, but I would hope to be able to thank him for his work, that has brought me so much joy (as well as plenty tears).... and not come across as one of the Crazies.

3) Valentine's Day is coming up, will you be treating somebody and if so, what kind of plans will you make?
We don't go crazy for Valentine's Day. There will be steak and chocolate, but that's a normal weekend around here. LOL

4) You find an envelope on the ground containing $50, there is nobody around... what do you do?
I would definitely try to turn it in if there was any place to turn it in to. I have experienced this before, both losing a purse and finding someone's and I know what it feels like. But like some someone else said, if it was in the middle of nowhere, I would keep it.

5) You have a time machine, one round-trip only... and it will only return if you change your personal history. What does your life look like now?
Just finished a re-read of the Langoliers, so I know that this isn't possible. Besides I'm pretty ok with my life.

6) Looking ahead, what one thing could you change today to improve your life?
Get back in shape and healthier. I am trying.

7) What could you do in the next week, to make life easier for somebody else?
Try to be kinder to everyone. Especially those who it's hardest to be kind to.

8) You have tickets and back-stage passes to any band/artist (dead or alive) who do you go and see?
Right now, I'd have to say Pink. I've seen a video concert and she is freaking amazing. Would be cool to see in person.

9) How do you like your eggs cooked?
I can't think of a way that I don't like my eggs cooked. I don't eat them raw out of the fridge, but that's about it.

10) How often do you sign in to the SKMB in a day? I like to sign in once a day for long periods of time, but obviously that doesn't always happen.

And yes, FlakeNoir, the dog did eat my homework, but good student that I am, I made it up a few days later!
