1. When I was young, my Mom would always drink a cold Dr. Pepper in the morning. Me, I can go either way. I like a Cold Frappucchino in the Summer months and switch to warm Mocha Espresso in the Fall. Do you like to drink warm beverages in the morning or do you prefer yours cold? Until recently I would start the morning with a cup of "Rocket Fuel", a high caffeine coffee with added guarana. I would normally drink it double strength. Then I realised my daily caffeine intact was equivalent to 16 - 20 cups of coffee per day. So now I've cut out caffeine completely. As yet I've not found a replacement early morning beverage.
2. Have you ever been so upset with someone that you wanted to get revenge? What did you do? Or if you didn't, what would you like to have done? I have, but I can never hold a grudge for long. after a few hours it just kinda evaporates, so I've never gone through with any revenge plans.
3. Sometimes I can look back at my past and see so many things that I was too naive to take advantage of. A time where I could have moved ahead in my career if only I'd chosen to move, the High School girlfriend who said she would do anything if I just asked, and so on. Looking back, are there any opportunities you missed out on that you can see now but didn't realize then? Hundreds. Really, too many to mention. But I guess that's life.
4. Today I tried on my black slacks, and they are just a skosh too tight (yeah it's a real word, look it up). Of course, I wore them anyway. Are there any clothes you refuse to throw away even though they don't (and never will) fit? Why do you keep them? Not really. When Sharon moved in I had to go through my wardrobe and throw loads of stuff away so she could fit her stuff in.
5. Although my speech classes eliminated most if it, I still have a little Okie accent left. I say "Git" instead of "Get" and "Collar" instead of "Colour." Do you have an accent? Are there any phrases or words you say that tip folks that "you aren't from around these parts?" I have a vaguely Midlands (UK) accent (NOT Brummie!!) which is appropriate for where I live. However, when I was younger I had a Scottish accent and I wish I still had.
6. Speaking of phrases, it really drives me nuts when folks say "very unique" (Unique has no degrees, it is either unique or it isn't) or "irregardless" (not a real word). Are there any words folks misspell or incorrect uses of words that simply drive you insane? I get annoyed at poor use of English in general, especially written English. Hypocritically, my own use of English is not brilliant.
7. I am guilty of using pet names a bit too often, like "honey," "babe," and "sweetie." However, currently, no one uses any pet names on me (and I think I'd like one). Are there any pet names that you like to be called? Any you don't? Do you (or did you) have any pet names for your partner? Sharon and I regularly refer to each other as "darling", "honey" and "babes". And its not as sickly as it sounds.
BONUS: Why you so fly? Cus I is down wi' da street man!
