Saturday Six - Episode 81
Time to take a break from the Vivi vote counting to post the Saturday Six. Yes, I know there was no Tuesday Two this week, but I’ll post a double edition this coming Tuesday for that one.
Before the questions…
Wait a second…”Bonanza” is on. Let me go take care of that.
All right, I’m back. Don’t know why, but I hate westerns. Just can’t deal with them. I love “Bonanza’s” theme song, which has to be one of the greatest in TV history…but once that’s over, it’s time to change the channel. As I was saying…
But before the questions, it’s time to recognize the first person to play last week. That honor went to Betty, who writes “Of mini-paws and menopause.” What a clever title for her journal! Congratulations, Betty.
Also, we welcome those who played the Saturday Six for the first time last week: Amy, Shadie, and Pat. Be sure to stop by their journals to say hello.
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! If you don’t have an AOL journal, you can still play, but of course you’ll at least need an AOL screen name, which you can get for free with AOL Instant Messenger, to be able to leave a comment here. To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. (Again, if you’re playing for the first time, please be sure to say so in the comment!) Enjoy!
1. What is a bigger pet peeve for you: someone trying to talk on a cell phone during a movie, a baby crying in a restaurant, a dog barking on your street, or music played loud enough to rattle windows.
2. What is your favorite cologne or perfume that you wear most often? Which one is the one you like the scent of, but don’t wear often or at all?
3. In your opinion, what is the best way to tell someone you value how much they mean to you?
4. Earlier this week, I posted a personality quiz: If you haven’t taken it, please do; if you already have, how accurate were the results compared with your true personality.
5. When was the last time you feel you got as much sleep as you really needed in a single night?
6. If a stranger walked up to you and handed you a briefcase with enough money to pay off every debt you had down to the penny, do you think you could start from then on living debt-free?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link on the About Me bar and send it to me.
MY ANSWERS:
1. The bigger pet peeve for me is the loud music, especially if it’s that hip hop with the bass beat so loud that you can’t even detect a melody. Listen to whatever you want to listen to: don’t make me listen with you.
2. I like Paul Sebastian and I wear it when I wear cologne, which isn’t that often. I really like Drakkar, but I don’t consider myself the “Drakkar” type…whatever type that is.
3. I think you should find a way to just come right out and say it. Or, surprise them with a card and let them know. The important thing is to be sure they do know they’re valued.
4. With a 46, my write-up went like this: “Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out.”
I don’t see myself as the center of attention: I actually prefer to watch from the corner. That’s the biggest problem I have with the results.
5. Oddly enough, last night. I got in bed to “rest my eyes” with several things left to do before I actually retired for the evening. Then, the next thing I know, it’s noon!
6. I think I could start living reasonably debt-free, meaning that I could pay for most of the things I wanted without ever using a credit card again. The biggies, like a house and car, would still end up appearing on my debt card, but unless there was a lot ofextra money in that briefcase, I wouldn’t be able to avoid them.
