Five Question Friday

1. If you could speak with a different accent, what would it be (i.e Australian, Scottish)?

Oooo, I like this question! I think Aussie accents sound ridiculous (sorry, mates!); Scottish accents, while very sexy, can be way too thick and hard to interpret; Irish accents are lyrical and musical but you still sound like a leprechaun ("They're after me gold!"); there are so many different variations of an English accent, you either sound like an upper-cruster with a stick up your butt or a lowly commoner hawking fish on the street ("Fresh caught today, guv'na!"); Newfie accents are freakin' hilarious and awesome but its hard to be taken seriously when people are too busy holding their gut and rolling on the floor, laughing at you; I'm not even going to touch on Asian accents, too stereotypical; Russian accents are too scary; Polish/Swedish/whatever -- no way ("Smorgie-board!" -- the Swedish chef, get it?); I love French accents, very sexy when done right, but when I hear one I tend to picture the person with a thin black mustache wearing a beret, scarf and black-and-white striped shirt, doing mime.


No, I think the only two accents I would like to have are either Italian or Spanish. Not Mexican-type Spanish ("Seee, seee-nyoor") but more like Sofia Vargara's accent on Modern Family. She has the natural accent but plays it up for the character. Very sexy, very fiery.





2. Can you fall asleep anywhere? (i.e floor, couch, deck)
I guess it depends on how tired I am. I can definitely fall asleep on the couch, have fallen asleep in chairs before, on the beach, on the grass, in tents and vehicles. So actually, I guess the answer is 'yes'. Hah.


3. Do you use public restrooms? If so, do you sit on the toilet?
When necessity demands it, yes. If the bathroom looks sketchy in any way, I do the 'hover' thing. And by 'sketchy', I mean dirty, toilet paper on the floor, stained toilet bowl, water all over the sink counter, dirty mirrors, etc. And if the toilet is 'full', fuhgeddaboutit.



4. If you were stuck in an elevator for 24 hours, what celebrity would you most want to be stuck with?
Um, derrrr, ADAM LAMBERT, of course. That poor guy wouldn't know what hit him. I'd probably try to be nice about it at first, but there would be no getting away. I would violate that boy in ways you've never even heard about, heh heh heh. If that disturbs you, just be glad you don't live in my brain. But would he still respect me in the morning? Who cares! I could die happy knowing I crossed my #1 off The List.

5. Where did you and your significant other go on your 1st date?
You mean I have to try and remember back that far? Okay... *digging through mental files*... I can definitely say that less than a week into our 'going out' we went to Edgefest together; don't know if you'd classify that as a date, per se. We also went out for dinner at Our Flames that first week, and to a couple of house parties. We don't really go on 'dates' because every night is date night for us.
