Rule #3: Tag 11 new people
- If you could only watch one movie director for the rest of time who would it be and why? Hmm, Probably Stanley Donen–of “Singin’ in the Rain” “7 Brides for 7 Brothers” and “Funny Face” Fame. I’m a real big fan of musicals, can you tell??
- What is the number one item on your bucket list? It has been checked off–Run a Marathon. Did that in Chicago in 2012. One and done, baby. Number 2 was pilot an airplane. I did that in 2012 as well.
- How did you decide your tumblr name and if you’ve changed it, why? I like the alliteration of the M’s. I honestly never thought I would actually run a full marathon–but, I did!!
- If you could meet one deceased historical figure (NOT a celebrity) who would it be and why? Is it cliche to say Jesus? Talk about about a fascinating person! As a Christian that would be the ultimate.
- What is your favorite word? effervescent. It sounds like what it means-bubbly!
- What is your least favorite word? Any word that is overused: currently “piece and process”. A simple rule of Journalism that has stuck with me is this: “Once said, word dead.” I pick up on overused words all the time. They drive me crazy.
- What is your first memory? I can remember a little bit of our first big family vacation to the Black Hills in South Dakota when I was 6, in 1988. I have memories of this big lodge (it seemed HUGE) and stuffed wildlife.
- What is your most essential piece of clothing? Why? I think it would have to be jeans. You can dress them up or down, you can make them into ankle pants or capris…there are a lot of possibilities!
- What was your least favorite subject in school? Math. Ugh. The worst.
- If you could go back to school what would you major in? (Pick something other than your current major/career! Don’t be boring!) If I could go back I would go into Finance. I know, I just said I hate math. But if I could better understand money and investing, that would be awesome!
- If you had a choice between being able to continue your favorite activity (i.e. cycling, running, knitting… whatever) or being able to continue to use your cellphone (in other words, you cannot have both), which would you choose? Why? I would choose to keep running. I did just fine without a cell phone for the first 19 years of my life–I’m sure I could figure out how to survive without it! 🙂
