Tell me a little about yourself
Aug 16
Seriously, I want to know everything about you.
Well, maybe not everything. Let’s start with these things:
- What’s your favorite movie of all time?
- What’s one song that makes you turn your radio way up and sing loud when you hear it?
- What TV show do you watch every episode of?
- What’s the last book you finished?
- What “big project” are you working on?
If your answers are good, maybe we’ll play again sometime.
Is it sad that I can’t answer these questions?
Sure you can. Marinate on it. Come back later.
I marinated, it helped a little…
1. Much Ado About Nothing
2. I’ll sing along to anything, as long as no one can hear me.
3. Every show I watch, I’m an all or nothing kind of girl.
4. Instructions for living someone else’s life. (I had to look this up, the book wasn’t very memorable.)
5. No projects here
5. You should build a house- that’s what Josh is doing.
Ha! Maybe someday.
You already know WAY too much, but I can’t resist an opportunity to talk about me.
1. It’s a toss-up: A Christmas Story and The Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Our House – Madness (but it never comes on.)
3. Big Bang Theory
4. The Help
5. Trying to score the voice over job for a short film on Sesame Street
1- YES.
3- NO.
5- KEEP ME POSTED, THAT IS AWESOME.
Is Big Bang Theory a “no” because it’s hipster cliche, or cause it’s chock full of innuendo?
No moral reason, I just don’t like it. But I still like you.
Well, that’s good. I mean, that you still like me and all. Yet…I shoulda said Chopped.
Glad you still like me…but shoulda said Chopped. Dang.
I should have KNOWN, when it didn’t show up that it eventually WOULD show up and now there’s TWO and I am an even BIGGER HOSER. GAH.
A hoser, eh?
1. I used to say “The Princess Bride,” and it’s still up there…but recently my gut reaction is to say “Remember the Titans.” STRONG SIDE!
2. Call me Maybe. No shame.
3. Mad Men, So You Think You Can Dance
4. Redeeming Love (NOT a Jesus Juke…it’s totally the last book I read!)
5. Just started rehearsals for “The Most Happy Fella” at Lyric Stage in Irving, TX. Putting together what is basically an operetta in 4 weeks. LET’S GO!
1- Princess Bride is so good.
2- Doesn’t everyone?
5- I’ve seen your tweets- exciting stuff.
I guess I should go, huh?
1) Probably “Cool Hand Luke”
2) Lots, but “The Earth is Yours” by Gungor more so than any other
3) Parenthood, Community, Comedy Bang Bang
4) “Resonate” by Nancy Duarte
5) Writing some stuff.
Cool Hand Luke is such a classic. I just added Resonate to me reading list. Did you ever check out Saving Leonardo?
Gonna download it next week.
1. Totoro
2. Honky Tonk Heros
3. Psych
4. Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie (YA)
5. Paying off debt (half-way there)
YOU CAN DO IT, SONJA!!
1. Huh?
2. Huh?
3. Good choice.
4. Huh?
5. NICE! Have you ever read indueseason.net? Scott and his family paid off $100,000 in debt in less than five years.
Favorite movie – Mutiny on the bounty
Favorite song – Something About That Name
TV Show – Friends
Book –
Project – Singing for the retiries.
Ed made me laugh….FRIENDS…unexpected answer…you’re just full of surprises!
Ditto- good pick, Ed.
Actually, I don’t watch much television and Friends is Ann’s favorite along with House. I put it there because Jared hardly ever responds to my comments, so I thought this was kind of off the wall comment he would actually read.
1. Memento
2. Only the greatest song ever written: Kiss From A Rose by Seal
3. Scrubs. Or currently? 30 Rock
4. God and Football by some douche
5. Whatever you want me to do
4. lol
5. GOOD ANSWER.
1. Geez man, I dunno. Count of Monte Cristo is up there.
2. I opened itunes for a song count. “Where Our Destination Lies” by Ben Gibbard is the most played with a count of 165. Anything by Needtobreathe or Mat Kearney works too.
3. Haven’t watched much as of late.
4. Kingdom of the Cults by Ron Rhodes
5. Building a house, blogging.
