FORM TO BE COMPLETED

1. NAME YOUR FAVORITE SONG:
This is pretty much impossible to decide on, but for now I'll pick "There Goes the Fear" by Doves. This is definitely one of my top fave songs of all time. 

2. NAME YOUR FAVORITE DESSERT:
Blue Bell Ice Cream in the flavor Banana Pudding. Any person that's ever had Blue Bell brand ice cream knows it puts Ben & Jerrys or Haagen-Daz to shame! I thought you could only get BB in Texas, but apparently it has been found in North Carolina (according to my mother-in-law & Chappie). 

3. WHAT TICKS ME OFF:
Liars. Especially people that hit your car, drive off, and then lie about it. Y'all know what I'm talkin' about. lol

4. WHEN I'M UPSET I:
Pout and sigh. I really do. Alot. But I think I do it more around my husband because he sort of laughs at me for it. 

5. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PET:
A sleeping one. We have three pets and my favorite one is my 5 year old cat who snuggles with me every night. He's the little spoon of course. Our dogs are cute, but not when they're peeing on the floor or chewing on my heels. 

6. BLACK OR WHITE:
Four years ago I would have said black hands down, because I was such a tom boy who only wore black band tees and ripped jeans, but nowadays I'd pick the white. There's not much black in my closet anymore, except for the necessary little black dresses.


7. BIGGEST FEAR:
Just one? I have plenty! I'm such a worry wort. I can't even fly in peace. But I'd say my biggest fear without a doubt is losing my mommy. Ugh, I don't even like saying that out loud, or typing it for that matter, and I realize that's such a morbid thing to say, but it is the scariest thing I could imagine. I don't ever want to picture my life without being able to see her face, receive her hugs or hear her voice on the other end....Hm...I'm gonna call her, stat!

8. EVERYDAY ATTITUDE:
I honestly don't wake up and say, "This is going to be a great day!" every day. Sometimes, yes, and I love when I wake up with that attitude. But majority of the time I just wake up, get dressed and go with the flow. I always start out with a prayer though, that no matter what my family, friends and I are all safe as we journey out for whatever that 24 hours has in store for us. 

9. WHAT IS PERFECTION:
An illusion? Haha, kidding. I know we all strive for perfection, be it in the way we look, or the hard work we put forth. I'm the same way. Perfection, by most folk's definition, is regarded only by the way we choose to deem something. 

10. GUILTY PLEASURE:
Duh, Jersey Shore. *hangs head low*

7 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT RONI....why did I just talk in third person?

1) Sometimes I randomly talk in third person

2) I'm close to 30 and every night I sleep with my Lotso Bear stuffed animal. What?! He smells like strawberries, and it's pretty much like sleeping with a body pillow. Don't judge me.

3) I LOVE pickles, but they make me get the under the skin pimples. You know those bad boys. They freakin' hurt and they suck!

4) I have a short temper. I mean it's pretty bad. But only my closest loved ones see it, unfortunately (isn't it always like that?). 

5) I have so much more patience with strangers, and I don't have much patience.

6) I enjoy buying things for my friends. I don't know why, but I love thoughtful, out of the blue gift giving. 

7) I'm lactose intolerant, but I still eat all the ice cream, cheese and dairy I want!...I just make sure there's a bathroom close by. I have no self control with cheese and ice cream. I will put myself through hell for it.

Jessa had a rule in selecting her Kreativ blogs, being that she selected individuals she had a genuine relationship with. I decided to do the same. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all the blogs I read for various reasons, but these ladies not only have me glued to their interesting lives via their daily posts, but I consider them all a dear friend and a truly creative soul. I've enjoyed getting to know most of them (the ones I don't know in person) a lot through comments and side emails. :)

Thanks again, Jessa, for the sweet and thoughtful award. 

Now, on to the tagging game that the lovely Trice, of High Heels & Good Meals, included me in. I'm gonna try and answer some similar questions with different answers to keep y'all on your toes. ;) 

THE RULES:

1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them that you've tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about 'you are tagged if you are reading this' You have to tag 11 peeps.

11 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT MOI:

l.  I eat more junk food than 'real' food. 

2. I cry from start to finish during the movie, "The Notebook". Yes, as soon as the old man comes on screen I'm bawling. I'm not even joking. 

3. I get asked if I'm Asian, Black & White, or a handful of ethnicities other than Mexican, almost every single day.

4.  My husband thought I was Asian for the first two months into our relationship. He only found out I wasn't when he cracked a joke that he thought I might be offended by and I didn't understand why he thought I would be.

5. Mikey and I are together because of the song, "Anyone Else But You", from the movie Juno. I can explain our relationship and how we 'came to be' in another post if y'all would like me to. 

6. I was terrified of going to college after getting out of the military, because I had been out of school for so long...I've been in school for a year now and I've gotten all A's but one. :D

7.  I'm obsessed with British pop music. The Smiths, The Cure...drool.

8. My first super nice and expensive dress was bought for me by Mikey on our 5th month (dating) anniversary dinner date. It was from French Connection and I'll never forget the total at the register: $268. No one had ever bought me anything like that before. He loves me. :)

9. I've kept a journal since I was knee high to a duck, but here lately, since I started blogging, I've sort of abandoned my little guy. I need to pick it up and write it again. Journals need love, too!

10. I'm a proud veteran. 

11. I hate to cook. HATE.

MY ANSWERS TO TRICE'S QUESTIONS:

1.) What is one goal you'd like to accomplish this year? I know I might just be kidding myself, but I'd like to try and beat procrastination with my school assignments! I was absolutely terrible last year, and fell victim to procrastination weekly.

2.) What is your guilty pleasure? Other than Jersey Shore, umm...all trash reality tv shows! My most recent addiction is Love Games on Oxygen. 
3.) If you could go anywhere in the world for the weekend, all expenses paid, where would it be? I want more than anything to go back to Curacao in the Netherland Antilles. I had the time of my life there in 2005.
4.) If you were stuck on an island and could only bring 2 things, what would they be? An endless supply of Laffy Taffys and Mikey. 
5.) Give or Receive? Give. And that's the honest to God truth. But derp, I still enjoy receiving. ;)
6.) What's the last song you listened to? Whatever is the last song on the Flaming Lips album, The Soft Bulletin. One of the best albums of all time.
7.) What is your favorite pair of shoes and why? My pink Swedish Hasbeens! They add the perfect amount of girly and sass to any outfit! I can't believe I debated for so long on whether or not I should purchase them. 
8.) Who is your celebrity crush? Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Mikey cracks me up, because he says he doesn't mind that I crush on JG-L since apparently Mikey thinks they look alike. haha

Mr. Gordon-Levitt's pic found here

9.) Do you plan on making dinner or eating out tonight? I never make dinner. That's not an exaggeration. I told y'all that I hate cooking. We had sushi for dinner.
10.) Did you speak to the Lord today? Everyday! 
11.) Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully God has blessed Mikey and I with babies by then. It's been my dream my whole life to be a mom. I just think that there's a reason why He hasn't felt that I need to be one just yet. Who knows what I'm destined to accomplish between now and then, I'm just thankful for all the experience and life lessons I'm picking up along the way to share with my future monsters. :)

MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU:

1. Who has been the most inspirational person in your life thus far (in terms of someone you actually know)?

2. Are there any famous people (actors, philosophers, poets, artists, ect.) that inspire you?

3. Who is your number one style muse?

4. Where have you lived? List all the states or countries. 

5. Why did you decide to blog?

6. Do you feel you connect more with your blog friends, or do you have a nice group of friends that share your same interests in your current hometown?

7. What's your favorite ice cream?

8. Fashion or comfort? I'm purposely leaving "or both" out of this. (I love this question, hehe)

9. Your ideal Friday night consists of.....?

10. You hold the door open for someone and they neglect to thank you. What do you do/say?

11. What's your favorite childhood tale/fable/story, etc.? 

I'M TAGGING...

Okay, so I'm gonna change things up a bit right here. If ANY of you want to answer my little questions up there then go ahead and leave it in the comments! I'd love that. OR if you want to do the whole post for this game on your blog by writing all the random facts about yourself + answering my questions, then by all means go for it! Just let me know to check it out on your page when you've done it. I technically didn't just break rule #6 for this game since I didn't say that whomever is reading this has to do it. Only if y'all want to. K. 

I look forward to your answers and further getting to know you all! Even the people I already know IRL (in real life).  :)

Love,

Roni
