dolorosa_12Day 15: Tell us your favorite junk food.
My favourite junk food that can be eaten as a meal is pizza. It's pretty much the only fast food I can tolerate. The smell of places like McDonald's or KFC makes me gag, and the cheapness of the food makes me suspicious. But throw some melted cheese on something and I'll eat it forever. Hence, pizza. I like non-fast food-type pizza too, of course.
My favourite snacky junk food is probably various types of sour sweets, like sour coke bottles, Haribo, wine gums, sour strawberries and so on.
Day 16: Your favorite Disney princess movie.
Day 17: Your thoughts on Ugg boots.
Day 18: Do you drink soda more often than milk?
Day 19: The initials of your crush(es).
Day 20: Do you wear glasses? If so, what are they for?
day 21: Your favorite subject to study.
Day 22: Do you play a sport? Tell us about it. If not, talk about a different hobby you may have.
Day 23; Your opinions on Lady Gaga.
Day 24: Tell us about the last movie you saw in the cinema.
Day 25: Tell us about the last book you read (for leisure or for school).
Day 26: Name one place you would love to visit one day.
Day 27: List your three favorite girl names, three favorite boy names, and your three favorite names for a pet.
Day 28: Your first celebrity crush.
Day 29: Your opinions on the television show Glee.
Day 30: Take a picture of yourself right now and post it, or post the most recent picture you can find.
I also want to relate a rather surreal experience of my Cambridge housemate J2. Her room is on the ground floor of our house, and has a door that opens onto the back yard. She had wandered out one morning to get her laundry off the line, and was standing around sleepily when she noticed a woman, crouched in our driveway, talking to a man who was also standing on our block. Because she was so sleepy, it took her a little while to recognise that this was a little odd. Then she asked them if everything was all right.
Perfectly all right, they replied.
She then said something along the lines of 'why are you on my driveway, then?'
'I'm just putting together this vacuum cleaner,' the woman replied.
J2 stared in stunned silence for a second and then said, 'you do realise this is our driveway, right?'
The woman replied, 'but I left the vacuum cleaner in the vacant lot two weeks ago'. (We have a vacant lot next to our house.)
J2 pointed out that this was no reason to be on our driveway. Finally, in a great huff, the woman moved off into the street, acting as if it were unreasonable to be asked to get out of someone else's garden. Bizarre.
I'd noticed recently that people seemed to be coming up our driveway but never making it as far as the back yard (I'd run to the garden when I saw them, to try and tell them to get out), but just assumed that they were the normal drunks peeing against the wall of the house (we live in a charming neighbourhood, yes). But apparently they were stashing dismantled vacuum cleaners in the vacant lot next door. As you do.
