Hrmmm...that's a tough one! I remember standing on the stump of my grandparents lawn at 4:15 every afternoon to watch the train run through town. Being young and living in a small town, the fast and loud locomotive flying through town was awesome to me. I'd go out every afternoon. I think they knew that I'd be a curious child then. It's also why they decided I needed to live somewhere else than the small town that had a train to keep my attention. :)

Sitting in my grandparents kitchen with them when they were still alive. I lost all my grandparents by the time I was 12, and I actually got to spend the most time with them out of all our cousins. I used to cook with my grandmother, standing on a black stool by the woodstove making all sorts of fantastic dishes and treats. My grandfather would sit at the table smoking a pipe and talking with us. He always smelled like pipe tobacco, it still reminds me of him. I'd give anything to have a few more Sunday afternoons with the two of them. Anything.

Yeah, so this question kind of totally caught me off guard.
I have no problem acknowledging that I'm pretty cute, adorable in fact. I guess I base my idea of "hot" a bit too much on the societal view of what "hot" would be. And I know that I don't fit that description so I don't think of myself that way.
As a friend pointed out, however, once you get to know me and my adorableness wears you down, I probably become pretty darn smokin'. There's something about a pretty girl with smarts, personality and interests that appeals to guys.
Which would lead me to believe you must know me as more than just an avatar picture, cause that's when my "kinda hotness" really begins to shine through. :) -

No, I wouldn't. If I wanted someone else's life I would change my own to be more in line with what I admire about theirs. No one has the perfect, so if you tried to adopt someone else's all that would happen is that you'd acquire the bad with the good.

Wow, what a great question! It's like you and I spend hours a week discussing hopes and dreams we have. :)
I would write a novel. The Great American kind. About a small town simple tomboy of a girl. And love. It's all about the love. I'm not sure I'm so good at living a life of romantic love, but I'm pretty darn good writing about it. Fictionally of course.
Remember, though, Great American Novel...no dime store romances! -
If I figure it out, I'll let you know!

Next time in Pittsburgh we can totally slumber party. Or if you want to come visit me in Maine. I'm always up for a good slumber party!

Worst - "Would you like to come upstairs and see my spoon collection." Uttered at a college fraternity party. My response was "Wow, you must think I'm either really stupid or really drunk." His response "Yeah, obviously not enough of either."
*SIGH*
Best - I don't know...probably "Hi." I don't really fall for the smooth operators or anything like that, I like down-to-Earth guys who just approach and strike up a conversation. Maybe "Your friend XYZ said I should meet you" cause a vouch from ANY of my friends will get you far in my book. -

I have not, I've lived here my whole life. I would never be opposed to moving for a great opportunity. I'm partial to either NYC or somewhere very warm...if I'm gonna do a move I wanna do it right (it gets very chilly up here!)
All that being said, I have no burning desire to move just to try a new place. I think that the people who do are pretty cool and admire them for doing it, but I am happy and challenged here. I haven't hit a point yet where I feel like I'm stagnant and "safe." -
Hrmm...that's tough because I don't believe much in absolutes. I kinda feel like far too much of life is influenced by our circumstances, "luck," and things completely beyond our control.
So, what are three things that I believe absolutely?
1.) The only thing you can control in your life is how you react to it
2.) You must be the change you want to see in the world (Gandhi)
3.) You have to take the good with the bad - you can't love people in slices. (Movie - First Knight)
Oh, and I also believe that every problem in the world really COULD be solved with no-holds barred all decisions are final matches of rock, paper, scissors. -
Wow, that's a great question but a tough one to answer! Ummm...I'd love it if more people asked me about how to be outgoing when you are actually an introverted and shy personality.
By virtue of my management position and community involvements people think I have this boisterous and extroverted way of doing things...but they don't realize (or WANT to realize) that I actually break out in hives whenever I have to speak to a group over 25 people or so. Or that I literally can flirt with someone for over an hour and not ask him out because I just can't bring myself to do something like that.
So, in turn, listening to people use their shyness as an excuse for not getting what they want in life is a huge irritation for me. :) -

Haha, I'm definitely more aware. It's a little tough cause I also began my relationship column for MaineToday.com in the same month, so I've been doing a lot of thinking/examining/acting upon love. And it's been EXHAUSTING!
I will have more on it next week, but I learned that I really do believe in love and want to find someone to love and be loved back, but I also confirmed my own analytic and logical tendencies in that it is not the beautiful dreamy "Hollywood" style love that we all hear about (but doesn't really exist.) -
Hrmm...I've done some dances in pale moon light, I don't know if they were with the devil. ;)

OMG. What am I NOT excited about. The pillow fight will, of course, be the highlight of the weekend. I'm also excited for our tour of the Cupcake Winery. And though I know it sounds a little silly, I'm MOST excited to get 4 days straight of #IRLSP time with Miss Jenny Blake. (PS - That's you!!!) :)
-
Gah, that's a hard one! Ummm...not-so-average (more than one but it's hyphenated and thus kinda a thing for me!), happy, analytical, driven, creative.
-
If the right opportunity presented itself I would move. But I have no desire to move or relocate just to "experience new places." That is something that is important to many people, which is awesome for them. It isn't to me, I'm extremely happy with my life here.

I'm a big fan of tulips, the medium sized tight-petaled ones. I also love hydrangea, but they are only available during a very short late spring window.
-
Hrmmm...that's tough cause I really will try anything and keep an open mind on it. I really dislike raw onion, the taste and texture is yucky!

If I'm not at work or out getting to have really good conversation with great people over cups of coffee or glasses of red wine, I'm most likely curled up with a book on the couch listening to jazz or catching the Sox/Celtics/Pats game
