Way back when, I did a "getting to know you" post because it occurred to me that while I could tell you what someone ate for breakfast the day before, I couldn't tell you where they lived, what their goals were, or what they liked best about themself. Well, now we have a fairly significant crop of new (and old) people and I'm back to wondering. So I'm pulling a sequel to the original post.Therefore, without further ado...Getting to Know You - Part 2! Answer in the comments and be astounded with what you learn about your blog buddies!
1) Name. Please. First names alone are okay, bonus points for divulging any embarrassing nicknames you've accumulated through the years.
2) Location. What city and state are you in?
2) Location. What city and state are you in?
3) Favorite thing about yourself. What about you makes you happiest?
4) Short term goals. Related to this blog or not. What are you working on at the moment?
5) Long term goals. What falls into your "someday I'll make it" list?
6) Where would your ideal vacation be?
7) Biggest inspiration - who is is?
8) Dangerous food. What is your favorite not-so-good-for-you indulgence?
9) Secret talent. Everybody's got one.
10) Goofiest ambition. It may not be running away to join the circus, but what would you do at least once if practicality were no object?
Now, you may be wondering what any of this has to do with Liam Neeson. The answer is: absolutely nothing except he is someone I would like to get to know :) And everyone needs a little eye candy once in awhile.
So, Ladies, answer away!
