Fun Survey I Made My Writing Student's Do...

So, I made my creative nonfiction students do this exercise last night, and I decided to do it with them, so they wouldn't think I was a big slacker. So, here are my answers. The (___)s mean that's where I filled in the blank with my unique response. ;)

1. I've always wanted to (go ice skating with a cute guy who is strong enough to hold me up. I can't skate for shit, but I just think that would be such a romantic date. He catches me every time I fall. We go warm up with some red wine. Then it's make out time!)

2. I'd be afraid to (be in a dark alley with Christopher Walken. I don't care what anyone says, that dude is freaky, and I still think he totally had something to do with Natalie Wood's death).

3. I never seem to have the time to (get started on my 2nd novel. It's in my head, I just need to start writing it out).

4. When I was a child, I loved to (act), but I haven't done it in years.

5. I think (bird watching) must be a fascinating hobby. (NOT! Seriously, birds freak me out.)

6. I think (dolphin training) must be a fascinating way to earn a living.

7. I think (hand modeling) must be a strange way to earn a living.

8. I think (freelance writing) must be an anxiety-ridden way to earn a living. (And, oddly enough, that's my goal right. Bring on the stress!)

9. I have no idea how (wine) is made (except from what I've seen on I Love Lucy).

10.  I eat (almonds) everyday, yet I have no idea where they come from.

11. I would sure like to see a (real Man vs. Food challenge! Of course, my ulterior motive would be to win Adam Richman over and then become his lovely girlfriend and travel companion).

12. I think (Davis Sq.) is probably the most interesting corner of my city. (Yeah, I know it's not really a corner.)

13. I've always meant to ask (my Gram) about her job.

14. I've always meant to ask (my dad) about his fishing hobby.

15. I wonder what (worms) taste, (but am in no hurry to find out).

16. I wonder what (sex) smells like. (People have told me it has a scent, but I've never smelled anything. Maybe I'm missing something? Or, perhaps it's been way too long. ahahah!)

17. I wonder what (true/soulmate/half-orange love) feels like. (And, I absolutely cannot wait to find out!) 

18. How does someone become qualified to (write a self-help book).

19. When I watch TV, I always wonder how someone ends up with such a job as (cue card holder).

20. I am obsessed with (all things mystical).

Nerdrodite Gets Gumption

"I triple dog dare you to do it!" my friend and PIC, Megan challenged.

"Well, then I just have to now, don't I?" I stated as I slammed down my beer glass in a forceful, yet delicate manner. I am a lady afterall.

What in the world did my PIC challenge me to do? Keep reading.

I rarely watch TV because I'm so busy being the awesome Goddess of Nerds that I am. I just don't have a lot of time to curl up on my couch and veg out.

But, when I do find a rare moment with the boob tube, you can pretty much guarantee I'm watching the Travel Channel. Why? Because I freaking heart Man vs. Food, and I'm a tad bit in love with the host, Adam Richman.

What's not to love about this hostest with the mostest?

First of all, he's hysterical. I mean just the other day, I was semi stalking the show's website and giggling at his goofy outtakes. Check them out if you have 2-3 minutes to spare. They're a total pick me up!

Secondly, he's a smartie. I mean, dude went to Yale.

He's also adorable. Have you seen that grin and those big brown eyes? Yummy!

And, last but certainly not least, he likes food, and I bet that means he'd apprecitate a cute and sassy gal who digs a good meal as well. A.K.A, me!

Anyway, last Friday was a rough day for me, so I jumped on Mr. Richman's blog to lift my mood, and all of a sudden I had an inkling to post a comment professing my crush on him, but alas, I held back. Why? Because as much of a Goddess as I am, I'm also a whimp...or at least my second mom says I am. But, she's right. I can be whimpy at times.

But, when my heterosexual life partner triple dog dared me to do it, I knew I had to take a chance. So, here's what I wrote:

Adam, first of all, I heart you. Second of all, I think you should redo the The Kitchen Sink Challenge at the San Francisco Creamery...and do it against me. Whoever loses will have to make out with the winner. And since I can put away some ice cream, you'll most likely lose. But, it will be a win-win situation!

Ahahah! Is that nerdy or what?
