PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 2.38
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? I’m a cold girl, I always have milk and orange juice for breakfast.
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? Yes, but I am too nice for that. Besides I’d have no idea what to do. I’m not a revenge oriented person.
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? Theater. God, how I wish I had gotten into that earlier. I had such a good time when I started doing it that it was so sad when I had to stop after two years when I graduated high school.
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? Yes, because a) I’m a packrat, b) alot of them have sentimental value (like tshirts from Girl Scout camp when I was eight or someting like that) and c) someday I might give them to my children. And watch me have all boys 🙂
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 am from these parts, so I say I go to Warsh U and I warsh my clothes and I use a fark, not a fork, and I drive on highway farty-far, not highway fourty-four. I also say ‘git’, but aside from random things that I don’t notice, I think that’s it.
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 hate it when people misuse effect and affect. And I REALLY hate it when they mix up ‘your’ and ‘you’re.’ Or ‘its’ and ‘it’s.’
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? I don’t mind ‘hon’, ‘sweetie’ or ‘love’. I get called ‘Shewie’ by most of the track team. Doesn’t mean I like it. I really like my first name; I wish people would use it more often. I really don’t like it when my mom calls me her ‘munchkin’. I know it’s a term of affection but I’m not a short person from the Wizard of Oz. I did have names for Chris, but that was ages ago and I don’t think I’d tell you anyway.
BONUS: Why you so fly? Me? Fly? I don’t think that term has ever been applied to me.
