It's time for another...

...Q&A with C-Jo.


{Don't ask me why, but I'm really having fun with these right now.}

1. How late did you stay up last night? I'm not really sure. Past midnight, but I just sort of fell into bed and didn't even look at the clock.
2. Do you prefer someone taller or shorter than you? Taller. Thank goodness I'm little.
3. Are you okay with making a total fool of yourself? Yesterday Luke, Maggie, and I went down to the strand for fun/dinner. We found a bunch of balloons (a bunch like grapes...they were attached to each other) on the sidewalk. I proceeded to try to keep them in the air and with us while we walked. There was a slight breeze going in the other direction, and I gave up. Oh, P.S. I was straight sober. (I feel like many of the things I do require that disclaimer, because most people would only do them drunk.)
4. Have you ever been played? Um...maybe? Kind of
5. Do you enjoy being single? I do, most days. I love having the freedom to just be me, without concerning myself heavily about what another person thinks or needs or wants. Perhaps that's selfish, but it's wonderful.
6. Name one thing you did yesterday. I already did, but I'll name another. Maggie and I went to the Coastal Living 2008 Idea House for a self-guided tour. Then sat on the downstairs porch (the only place that didn't have "Please do not sit on the furniture." signs) and had a very long conversation with a woman who told her husband she was "educating" us on matters of politics and the like.
7. Who were you with the last time you went to the movies? Went to the movie theater? Maggie and Luke. Actually saw a movie? Amy, Maddie, and Jeff.
8. Do you ever get “good morning” texts from anyone? Nope.
9. What were you doing Friday night? Attempting to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Failing because their credit card machine was down, and getting ice cream at Ben & Jerry's instead.
10. Do you like being home alone or does it freak you out? In the pool house it's fine. In the big house...freaky! Too many corners and dark places.
11. What’s the greatest thing that happened to you today? It's 8:10am. The greatest thing to happen so far is that I woke up. Although I'd much rather have slept longer than 7:15, so I'm not sure how "great" that is.
12. Would you rather smile over a lie or cry over the truth? As much as it would hurt, cry over the truth.
13. If you could move away, no questions asked, where would you move? I thought I just did that? But okay, if not Texas, then maybe Washington State. Four seasons, ocean, and mountains. Or Australia. Or Africa.
14. How much do looks matter to you in a guy? I'm not taking the high road: they matter a lot. However, a man's nature and spirit have the potential to override any minor imperfections or flaws in his appearance.
15. Have you ever told anyone you were okay when you really weren’t? Every day. Little lies protect me, or so I think.
16. Would you go out in public looking like you do right now?cSure. I'd prefer to brush my teeth first, but I don't think I look terrible this morning. Perhaps sleepy and like I just rolled out of bed -- because I did.
17. What’s the first thing you did when you woke up? Curse the sunlight.
18. Have your friends ever randomly stopped by your house? Not that I can particularly recall, though I certainly wouldn't mind them doing so!
19. Who is the last person you had a deep conversation with? Luke and Maggie. See #30 from Wednesday.
20. If you could have something back right now, what would it be? My college years. Though they formed the person I am today, I've lately been mourning the loss of my education. I didn't really apply myself in college -- just like in high school, I did the work to make the grade, not to learn. I wish I had learned the value of education long before I left it.
21. Is this the best year of your life? Six months in, I'd have to say yes. It's the first year that I've stepped up and taken the reins on my own life, and it has been amazing.
22. If your friends warn you about someone, do you listen? I haven't. Not always. But I'd like to start.
23. Are you keeping a big secret right now? If I was, I wouldn't tell you.
24. Has anyone ever sang to you? Not when it wasn't meant as a joke. I might melt into a puddle of Carolyn-ness if it does happen, though.
25. Would you be able to date someone who doesn’t make you laugh?Oh, hell no.
26. Have you ever fallen asleep while texting someone? Not in the middle of writing a text, but probably in the conversation.
27. Do you like the rain? Absolutely.
28. Say your last ex runs up to you and hugs you, what do you do? First, freak out because he's in Texas. Second, probably say something snarky like, "What the heck are you doing here, and why are you hugging me?" Third, leave.
29. Did you ever tell your parents you were going somewhere but went somewhere else instead? Probably, but not intentionally. More like, "Oh, I'm going to the library," but I end up at the grocery store instead.
30. Do people underestimate you? Of course they do. In a strange way, it motivates me more than people thinking highly of me.
