As seen at Robyn’s. Spread the love by copying and pasting in yours (with your own answers, silly):
1. Your name spelled backwards: Annod
2. Where were your parents born? Both of my parents were born in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? Jakalope’s “Pretty Life” video.
4. What’s your favorite restaurant? Hmmm there are so many!! I love the Olive Garden and Moxie’s, because there are certain things on their menus I LOVE that I can’t get anywhere else. I like most of the chain restaurants (Earl’s, Joey Tomatoes, Keg) and I have a couple favourite little places like Mekong for Vietnamese and Curbside in Bridgeland for pizza and greasy stuff (that’s no longer there! Wah!) plus some Greek and Lebanese places.
5. Last time you swam in a pool? This past summer in the outdoor pool at my apartment building.
6. Have you ever been in a school play? Hmmm I don’t think I acted in a play… I certainly sang in the choir off to the side though!
7. How many kids do you want? That’s a toughie. I don’t see myself giving birth to/raising babies, but I do see myself as a mom, so maybe they’ll be stepkids, or I have thought about adopting an older child, but not if I’m on my own.
8. Type of music you dislike most? Rap and Hip Hop stuff.
9. Are you registered to vote? Yes.

11. Have you ever ridden on a moped? Not that I can remember.
12. Ever prank call anybody? Oh hell yeah!!!! All the time when I was a teenager. Ahhhhh those were the days, before call display ruined it for everyone.
13. Ever get a parking ticket? No, from what I understand you need to have a car to get one.
14. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? 10 years ago, maybe. I don’t think I would now. Maybe skydive.

16. Do you have a garden? No, I live in an apartment.
17. What’s your favorite comic strip? Hmmm I rarely read them anymore, but I always liked Cathy, The Far Side, and… ahh! I can?t remember the name of it. It was very funny though. I think there was a penguin in it. Help me out here! Bizarro?
18. Do you really know all the words to your national anthem? I do!
19. Bath or Shower, morning or night? Shower every morning. Or sometimes it’s afternoon before I get around to it, like today.
20. Best movie you’ve seen in the past month? “Are We There Yet?”, The Polyjesters. Never laughed so hard in my life! I haven’t been to the theatre lately, so that’s all you’re gonna get.

30. Last time you ate a homegrown tomato? I have no clue. Probably when I lived in Winnipeg and my grandparents had a garden. So… forever ago. I do love the garden tomatoes though, I always buy the “on the vine” ones at the store so I can fool myself that they came from my garden. I do have a friend who recently told me about his garden and the tomatoes and all the tomato sauce he’s making. Hmmm… hint hint hint hint
31. Have you ever won a trophy? I must have, with all the gymnastics, dancing, baton, etc. etc. I took as a kid. I remember winning medals and badges and things… an actual trophy, maybe not, because if I did I am sure I would still have it displayed somewhere around here!
32. Are you a good cook? When I actually do it, yes. I need a recipe to follow though, I don’t have a whole lot of that natural cooking flair. I don’t do it often at ALL.
33. Do you know how to pump your own gas? Again, one needs a car to do that. I’m sure I could learn, though.
