Mindy, Princess of Everything offered up the questions below for me. The answers are my own, of course.

If you want to play, leave me a comment and I will ask you 5 questions of my own!!

Edited to add-when you leave a comment please either leave an e-mail address or tell me how to get your questions to you. Thanks much.

1. What do you secretly hoard?

High quality dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate, but I purchase it much more often than I consume it. I will admit that within the collection is some lower quality (Hershey’s, Cadbury, etc…) but there’s also some much better stuff. It just doesn’t often occur to me to eat a piece of it. I suppose if I stored it out on the counter instead of in the pantry that might change the situation, but I don’t so it doesn’t get eaten often, but sometimes. I keep threatening to have a chocolate party to share it with my friends, maybe sometime in the near future I’ll have to do that.

2. If a movie was made about your life, who would play you and why?

Honestly, NO CLUE. I’ve seen others get asked this question and wondered about it, but really, I don’t watch enough movies, or even pay enough attention to actors and actresses to really have any opinion on this.

3. Who is your TV *crush*?

Another one that I don’t really have a good answer to. I don’t watch that much TV and there’s not really anyone I drool over. There are some that I like though, sometimes because of their characters and sometimes because of what they get to do.
Examples:
Phil from the Amazing Race-he has the BEST job, he travels the world and then just has to stand there and TRY not to telegraph what he’s going to say (at this point I think I’ve figured out most of his tells though). He’s not unattractive to look at either.
Then there’s Michael Shanks who plays Dr. Daniel Jackson on SG-1. He’s attractive, and plays this really smart but also kind, and well meaning guy.

4. What word to you HATE more than any other word and why?

After thinking about this a lot I think it might be “faggot” but mostly because of how I hear it used. I’m a high school teacher and it gets tossed around like an insult by students. I call them on it as much as I can but sometimes in the quad or passing in the hallway, it’s not possible. Many high school kids are homophobic, but I just want to smack those who use faggot as an insult. A close second is gay, as in, “that’s so gay.” Same reason.

5. Paper or plastic?

Paper, make them heavy please. And the bagger today even did believe me that I wanted them to be heavy. Sometimes they don’t believe me. HELLO PEOPLE, I regularly pick up and carry around a squirmy 35 pound child!! But that’s beside the point. I also sometimes use canvas too.
