RaNDom Musing #30: 11 Random Things About Me & Other Questions

So...I've been tagged by my friend "my-run-is-not-done" and am WOEfully behind on responding.  Here are the rules and herrrrrre we go:

RULES
1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
3. Answer the questions set for you in their post.
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them you’ve tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about you are tagged if you are reading this. You legitimately have to tag 11 people.

Let the randomness begin:

1.  My inner child is 12 years old.
2.  As a child, I used to try to make my dimples deeper with my pencil eraser - to this day, I believe I was successful.
3.  I legitimately thought I was 25 years old for the first six months of my 26th year on earth.
4.  I have already selected my daughter's name...even though I am not, nor have I ever been close to giving birth.
5.  I still don't "split the pole" when walking with others and I have been known to make those who do split the pole walk back around while saying "bread & butter"
6.  My inner fat kid LOVES alternately sweet & salty snacks (e.g., swedish fish with salt & vinegar chips, cherry sours & cheddar chex mix)
7.  My iTunes playlists are arranged by experiences vice genre (e.g., L(os)T in Korea - for LT years at Lost-in-the-Woods (aka Leonardwood) & Korea, iRock - for Iraq
8.  I'm a hopeless romantic posing as a hopeful romantic.
9.  I have too many hobbies, but I still try to keep up with them all...
10.  I have an unhealthy obsession with sneakers (namely Chuck Taylors and Pumas) and don't really own too many pairs of "big girl shoes"
11.  I don't know how to put on make-up.

Here are my answers to JME's Qs...

Questions:
1. What is your favorite kitchen utensil/appliance? The microwave & George Foreman grill.  They are a testament to my cooking desires / abilities.  No joke, I had a microwave cookbook as a kid - latchkey!
2. What fitness activity have you always wanted to try?  Hmmm...I don't think there's anything I haven't tried that I wanted to.  I know I have ZERO desire to complete a marathon.  Does that count?
3. Where did you take your best or worst vacation?  Best / worst vaca thus far:  Hurricane Earl in St. Maarten - seriously, I don't have a "bad time"  - always make the best of e'rythang ;)
4. What’s your favorite season? The one with no snow and comfortably warm mornings / evenings and cool breezes! (In America it's called Spring, but here in the UAE it's apparently known as "winter" - it's all relative)
5. Tap water or filtered water?  Is the tap water potable?  If so, them I'm good with that...
6. You have no distractions or obligations, how would you like to spend your day?  In my PJs and dancing around the apartment, then maybe a nice stroll or run...followed by dancing the night away oh, wait or watching a movie on the couch, IF I have a hunny to cuddle with!
7. How many bones in your body have you broken?  2 - and a front tooth.  I've also had 5 or 6 concussions.
8. Who is your fitness inspiration?  Hmmm...
9. Do you have a sweet tooth or a salty tooth?  See random item #6
10. What’s your favorite shoe style?  See random item #10
11. What are you most looking forward to doing when the weather warms up?  Whatever I stumble into...looks like that's skydiving this weekend!  Woot!!


Now, here are my 11 questions for 11 people:


1.  What was the last album you bought (or iTuned or Spotified etc...)?
2.  Where's the best place you've been this year?  This decade?  Hope to "have been"?

5.  If you were a city, what would you be?
6.  If you were sand, what would you say to people on your beach?

8.  Should the guy always pay for the date?
9.  Parallel park or drive around the block?
10.  Bring sexy back?
11.  What's something you wanted to be / do when you were little that you've actually done?
