My first date was when I was 19. I was a late bloomer....who caught up quickly. :)
What are you doing to "give back" during the Christmas season?
Submitted by jacolily.
I've been thinking hard about this one for the past couple of weeks. I really want to do some giving this xmas but have been trying to think of where and how much. I don't have a lot but there are so many who have zero.
Last year, we gave some living gifts from Heifer International. That is always a good thing to give instead of just stuff.
I might do some of that again this year but I think my "giving back" this year is going to be more charitable and more local. Things are tough these days and I think that our communities need our help to feed and assist those struggling more than usual this year. And I have already given some money to my church for a school building project for some children in Haiti.
I think my official giving this Christmas is going to be donating money and items to the local food bank. I would donate food straight up but I know that the food bank can stretch my dollar so much more that I can as they get access to things much cheaper than I can get them. Plus with money, they can buy what is needed and required. Other than money, I think I will donate some baby items (diapers and formula) as those are in really short supply at the food bank.....and are much needed items.
It's easy to be a hoarder in tough times but I think everyone loses when we all hoard and only take care of ourselves.
What's your most memorable scene from a movie?
Submitted by danadee
I LOVE movies so choosing just one memorable scene is really impossible to do.
I will, however, share, the one scene that first popped into my head when I read the Qotd. This is, in my mind, probably the best kiss ever. If you have never seen the movie that the scene won't be as powerful or understandable but its still a fabulous kiss. I love the way he just walks up and.......rowrrr! :) Its smooth and well-executed. Two thumbs way way up!
And yes, I am a total romantic sap....and you are just going to have to learn to deal with that! LOL! :)
If you could turn back time, at what point in your life would you go back to? What would you do differently?
As much as there would be many points in my life that it would be interesting to do over, I would not. When you alter the course of one event, you alter the course of all the events that come after it. So in changing one bad thing, I may change/delete a whole bunch of good things.
Life is about taking the good with the bad. I believe that everything happens for a reason whether we see it or not...or understand it or not. Crap is going to happen, regardless. Deal with it. Move on.
When you recognize that every piece of crap is an opportunity to grow, evolve, and be better, you start looking at things differently. The caterpillar has to fight and struggle with ALL of its might to make it out of the cocoon and be a butterfly. Without the struggle to get out, it's wings would be weak and it would not be able to fly and would soon die. The struggle is goes through has a purpose.
When we struggle to hang onto things like the past and the woulda-coulda-shouldas, we are inhibiting our own growth and the blessings of the future.
Without struggles and crap, we would never appreciate those blessings......nor would we build strong "wings" in order to fly.
Life is lived forward. Stop caring about what happened yesterday because that is the past and done with.
Work on what you have control over.....a better today and tomorrow.
Show us your favorite person in uniform.
Quite honestly, I prefer a man out of uniform (*wink*).....and that would not be Vox-appropriate. So, you will have to settle for your imagination. :p
If you could go on a summer tour with one band, which one would it be?
Duh.
Anytime. Any season. I am sooooo there and ready to hang out with da boys! :p (...in particular, one hilarious Mr. McCann!)
I am sooo looking forward to seeing them on December 3rd when they are back in town. woot! :)
What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.
Having a flexible, healthy body. I used to be able to wrap my legs around my neck and cross my feet behind my neck. Seriously. As a teenager.
My back injury means I will never be that way again regardless.
If you could take a class right now and learn anything in the world, what class would you take?
This, for me, is a hugely loaded question! I am in the middle of making a list of things I want to learn and making up an action plan.
This year, I plan to take or start taking:
1. voice lessons
2. guitar lessons
3. pilates
4. Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
*5. looking into possibly taking some graphic design courses....maybe even get into a program/school if I can find the $$$ to make it happen
Next year, I plan to take or start taking:
1. digital photography
2. dancing - not sure where to start as I want to learn quite a few different style like salsa, latin, west coast, blues, hip hop, ballroom... but I am sure I will figure it out next year!
*3. If I get Adobe CS3 Design Standard done this year, I will probably start work on the Design Professional next year which is all the web apps like Flash, Dreamweaver, etc.
Eventually, I want to learn some languages but not sure when:
1. French
2. Italian
3. Spanish
I have so many things I want to learn....it's exciting!! :)
Are you going to be amongst the first people to buy the iPhone 3G? If so, when do you plan on picking yours up and which one will you be purchasing?
....um.....that would be a no.
The iPhone is pretty, charming, and quite cool but it does not have all the things that I would want and so I will have to pass until Apple makes it more into a Smartphone like a Blackberry. And with the data-charge raping that is going with our Canadian carriers, there is definitely no reason for me to change from my current hiptop (that would a sidekick to you US peeps) that I have had for the past 4 or so years with a $20 monthly unlimited data plan........at least until something worthy comes along.
With all the hype that is going on with the new iPhone, some people may not know that there are some other cool phones coming out this summer.
The Samsung Instinct looks quite cool and has won quite a few awards already. It is the closet competitor for the iPhone. It should be debuting in Canada either this month or next.
And the one that I am looking forward to the most is the new Blackberry Bold which has all the regular great Blackberry features and more.....AND you can now edit documents. That, too, should be debuting in Canada sometime this month or next. It appears to be the Smartphone that I have been looking for. I guess we shall see! :)
