Bon matin, mes amis! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far.

Recently, Clare tagged me in an “11 Random Things” survey, and since it’s been ages since I’ve completed one, I thought it would be fun to participate. I’m supposed to:

  1. List 11 random things about myself
  2. Answer the 11 questions she asked me
  3. Come up with 11 questions to ask other bloggers
  4. Tag 11 bloggers to do this next

Alrighty then!

11 Random Things About Me

  1. I was a twin! True story. My mom miscarried the other very early on in her pregnancy. It’s so weird to think that there could have been two of me!
  2. My nails are always really short. I cut them until there’s no white showing, otherwise they drive me nuts.
  3. I have a lot of nicknames- Gab, Gabby, Gabs, etc.- and none of them bother me. Really. Call me what you want.
  4. Going on an expedition to the Titanic wreck site is my #1 bucket list item. Better start saving.
  5. When I get bad motion sickness, I hyperventilate and have carpopedal spasms. It’s really, really, really embarrassing.
  6. I played the piano for 15 years, but haven’t touched one since I was 18. I’m not musically gifted whatsoever.
  7. My face gets really hot when I drink red wine.
  8. I have a hemangioma (a benign tumor of blood vessels, I don’t even really get it myself) in my left thigh. It gets sore if I’m standing all day.
  9. I LOVE to drive, and consider myself pretty good at it, though I do believe that men in general are more coordinated drivers than women. Yeah, I SAID IT.
  10. I have pretty strong political views, but try not to talk about them with people who have different ideologies, because I’ve never witnessed a debate that actually changed anyone’s mind. They just piss people off.
  11. When I was born, my name was Danielle, but my parents changed it a few weeks later. My mom didn’t like the American pronunciation of it, only the French. Clearly she forgot what country she was living in…wishful thinking.

Questions I Have To Answer:

  1. Favorite condiment? Guacamole, if that counts. Or ketchup.
  2. How old do you think you’ll be when you die? I hope I die before I lose the ability to take care of myself. I’d rather have a great life till 70 than be a vegetable until I’m 100.
  3. If you could only eat fruits OR vegetables, which would you choose? Fruit, no question.
  4. Hair up or down? Up for convenience, down for looks.
  5. Flowers or chocolate? Chocolate. Though I’ve never been sent flowers!
  6. Bud Light or Miller Light? Miller. But really, I’d go for Coors Light. You can’t compete with the color-changing mountains.
  7. Gushers or Dunkaroos? Dunkaroos!
  8. Favorite type of M&M? Regular, peanut butter are a close second.
  9. Favorite beer? Mehh…can I choose five?
  10. What are you doing next Thursday? Working out. Working. Eating.
  11. Window or aisle seat? I prefer window, but I tend to choose aisle so my seatmates won’t hate me and my numerous bathroom breaks.

Questions for Other Bloggers:

  1. What was the last thing you watched on TV?
  2. Based on food alone, do you prefer Thanksgiving or Christmas?
  3. What’s your biggest blogging peeve?
  4. Who was your favorite Spice Girl?
  5. What kind of computer do you have?
  6. Where did you go on your first date ever?
  7. How old were you when you signed up for Facebook?
  8. If you could rename yourself, what name would you choose?
  9. Would you rather have a male or female twin?
  10. What’s your favorite book?
  11. Name one food you dislike because of a negative experience/connotation, not the food itself.
