Topic: Q&A for WEDNESDAY!


Topic Posted by: susienews
Date Posted: Wed Apr 30 23:10:40 2008
Additional Comments: I'm reading my weekly SOD and I flipped to the back page, which is always a Q&A with some random soap actor.  Usually the questions are relatively lame, but this week I liked 'em.  And wanted to ask YOU the same things!

WHAT TALENT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE BORN WITH?

WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY?

WHICH PUBLIC FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH FOR ONE DAY?

WHAT CD DO YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO?

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET?

 

My answers:

Playing the piano.  My brother does it for a living.  I tried (lessons for years!) and was never very good.

Singing as a profession.  I'm definitely an amateur singer.  I've sat in with a band from time to time, but haven't done it in years.  My dream has always been to be a torch singer in a piano bar.  I could sing jazz ballads all night.

Trade places with a public figure?  That would be frightening!  It certainly wouldn't be a politician 'cause Lord knows I couldn't handle that responsibility (not that W. can either, but I digress).  I'm going to say Britney Spears.  Sounds silly, I know, but I'd like to be a better parent to her children. 

I have Sirius satellite radio in my car, so I don't listen to CDs very often anymore.  I probably know all the words to my Ella Sings Cole Porter CD. 

I try not to go down the actual aisles of the supermarket unless there's something specific I'm looking for.  The best stuff is around the circumfrence - meat, seafood, produce, dairy, bakery.  It's all around the outside.  It's when I go up and down the aisles of stuff that I wind up with five half-gallons of ice cream.

    WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY?  Hmmm... I'm pretty bold.

    WHICH PUBLIC FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH FOR ONE DAY? Public figure?  Wow, these are bad questions for me. I don't know!  Hey, how 'bout Dolly Parton? Yeah, I'll pick her.

    WHAT CD DO YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO? I don't know all of the words to any of  my CD's, but I know all of the words to a DVD (The Sound of Music). Does that count?

    WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET?  I like the produce aisle.  I also like the dairy aisle.  And the seafood department.

    WHAT TALENT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE BORN WITH?  Singing!  Of course, I AM learning and I sing almost every Wednesday and Sunday at church, but I don't think I'm very good at all, lol!  The church youth choir (me included) are working on harmony right now.  Up until now we've just sung everything as a group, no harmony or anything.  We are also learning to read the music.  Me and 2 others are totally lost, lol!  We did a little bit in music class in middle school, but it was just a few classes and I obviously forgot it all!

    WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY?  Acting in a play!  I always wanted to be in one in school, but never did.  I almost tried out for a part in high school, but chickened out at the last minute!  Now, I DID write my own play once, during study hall.  It was based on DOOL and 'Eric Brady,' who at the time was portrayed by my faaaavorite actor, Jensen Ackles :)  I got two of my friends to act in it and my brother videotaped it!  It was soooo much fun, but soooo lame, lol!

    WHICH PUBLIC FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH FOR ONE DAY?  Eeks..I don't know that I would want to!  I know I'd never want any kind of political position.  A small part of me has wanted to act a bit, and I'd love to be a singer (if I could sing well), but I don't think I'd want the fame at all!  Not my thing at all!  If I had to though..hmm..I'll go with a singer, my favorite, Reba :)  She's got her singing career, she's done Broadway and tv and she's got her own clothing, bedding and shoe line!  BTW, I can't wait..I'm getting a pair of 'Reba' shoes next week!  Yay!!!

    WHAT CD DO YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO?  Gosh, all of Reba's cds from her Greatest Hits II album forward.  I have most of the ones before that, but don't know all the words by heart.  Oh, and I also know all the words to the Sweeney Todd soundtrack :)  LOVE it!

    WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET?  I like the produce area!  Fruits and veggies, yum, yum, yum!!

  • LT, I moved to another state and stayed there for 10 years before coming home. It was the most LIBERATING thing I've ever done. And if you are bored, it opens up all kinds of new possibilies. Just finding out how to get around, where the good stores are, etc.
  • I've lived in 4 different states in different parts of the country and lived abroad for a time, too. It is a great experience to pick up roots and spread your wings. You have to be ready for a lot of change, though. ~i&b
  • In another life, long, long ago (first marriage) I did move to three different states. (First husband was in the Air Force.) My kids were young, I was alone a lot, we had very little money, etc. In other words, I was miserable and hated it. Looking back I wish i had taken advantage of the opportunities at the time but that's hindsight. Now hubbylifetime and I would like to move to a warmer climate (Florida or Texas) but it is difficult to uproot, leave my daughter, granddaughter and mom, a good job, etc. It is something we are planning for retirement though. //ltv
  • Warren Buffet! What a great answer!!! LOL! Hope you wind up in Sanibel Island for good someday, ltv. --susie

  • Nics! How are you??? I've been thinking about you. I am a victim of the ice cream aisle. And all of the ice cream co-horts in the frozen section. It truly is the place where, if I didn't give a rat's patootie about my health, I'd shop everytime. Frozen pizza, frozen french fries, frozen ice cream treats..... This is why there is a LAW in my house. Susie is not allowed to go to the store (ANY store) hungry. EVER! I'm an impulse buyer, too. Ooh! Gum! --susie
