Do you really want to know about me?

The mysterious dynamic duo affectionately known as ts and js of [eatingclub] vancouver slung this meme over the wall to me. I haven’t done one in awhile so decided to give it a go.

And, the very first question stumped me … ‘last movie I saw in a movie theater’. I couldn’t remember so I opened up our ‘memory jar’ to research it. Umm, let’s just say it’s really a big jar into which I drop all of our ticket stubs, old boarding passes, paper mementos from trips or special occasions. Yes, I’m really one of those people. Every couple of years we crack open the jar and make a collage from the most interesting bits and stroll down memory lane. Unfortunately, I have the pink/blue receipt from our movie tickets on June 7th but it doesn’t show the movie name on the receipt.

Finish This Statement—“If I Had a Lot of Money,”

If You could Dye your Hair Any Other Color, What Would It Be?
I have dyed my hair alot back in college: pink, blue, and once green. Oh yeah, and bleach blonde white. OH, and black once too. Let’s just say I was a ‘hair-whore’ for a few years. I’m afraid the dye seeped into my scalp and tainted my brain, so now I go with my natural brown color.
