Answers Part 9
Puddle Jumper (formerly known as Naty-Bat) asked:
209. Do you bring your pillows on trips and how many?
Anywhere I can I bring my two pillows. When flying, no. When driving, camping, or hitchhiking, yes!
210. How do you respond to the question 'how does it feel to be (insert recently turned age here)'?
I say, "It feels BEawesome!" (compound word for beyond awesome) Actually that's what I'll say ever since seeing Bolt, but in the past I've mostly just said, "It feels the same as last year." Which is a lame answer. I like the first one better.
211. Would you rather rake leaves, shovel snow or mow the grass?
Definitely mow the grass because we have a riding lawn mower and I like mowing. If I had to push mow my whole yard, I'd pick shovel snow. If I was handed a sand shovel, I'd pick rake leaves.
212. Have you ever chosen to stand instead of sit on the metro and then wobbled all over like a tourist while you were trying to look cool?
Ha,ha! No, but I know someone who has...
213. When you play games do you like to be the captain, leader, etc. or would you rather be a follower?
It depends on who I'm with. When most of the people are older than me I'd rather follow, or else it's just awkward. When they are younger I like to lead.
214. Have you ever had an epiphany in the bathroom?
Can't say that I have.
215. What would your memoir be titled if it was ever written?
I Am Sitting In the Bottom of a Pickle Barrel Contemplating My Naval - The Story of My Wonky Life

Natalie asked:
77. Do you like ice skating?

78. Ever been rappelling or rock climbing?
Neither, which is sad. I would love to go rapelling.

Yes, but only the basics. And then I usually get so frustrated with dropping stitches that I take the whole thing out and wait a couple years to try again. :)
80. How do you feel about country music?
I feel rather ill.

I think strawberry, but it's been so long...
5. What is your shoe size?
5-5 1/2

7. Have you ever been on a Snipe hunt?

8. Have you lived in NY all of your life?
Mostly. I lived in Texas for a couple months when I was little, but then we moved back here.

14. If you had to live somewhere other than your house for a year, where would it be?
I'll say the countryside of Ireland. I would love to go there.
