 I got tagged (sort of)...Ma at Ma's Blog asked some pretty interesting questions so I'll give it a go, first 11 facts about me:

1. I hate to be late, but I always seem to be running late, so I'm always rushing to get to work on time. I think I'm THE MOST punctual person there, lol.
2. I LOVE bargains (although often I end up buying something at a really great price that I end up never using or needing)
3. I LOVE going to the Dollar Tree Store (this kinda goes together with #2)
4. I hate housework, but I love the results of getting it over with.
5. I am terrible at keeping my important paperwork organized. Tax time is a nightmare for me. Funny thing is I got the highest marks at work for doing my paperwork. The boss said she had never ever given a perfect score before (I've got a lot of that -polar opposite stuff- going on, maybe that's why I'm always so confused)
6. I LOVE reading, mostly books about history or biographies. That's one reason why I find the Bible so incredibly fascinating.
7. I LOVE England! My vacation there was heaven on earth. I hope to go back one day.
8. I'm part Asian, but I have absolutely zero interest in ever going to Asia.
9. I LOVE matching accessories to my outfits.
10. I HATE wearing makeup. I do once in a blue moon, and people that know me at work will ask “Who's the guy you are trying to impress?” because it almost never happens.
11. I LOVE flannel sheets in the winter time.

Ma's questions and my answers:

1. What do you find strangely beautiful? Jellyfish...there are some incredibly beautiful ones, yet kinda eerie looking...
    2. Are you a morning or night person? Definitely a night person, didn't even have to think about that one.
    3. Do you go to a church, if so, what is it like? Not a brick and mortar church, although when I attend one with family or friends I love it (the music and the message always seems to hit me right where I am at the moment) and always am refreshed by it.
    4. If you could've been born in any time period what would it have been? The Victorian era fascinates me.... but also I think living in Jesus' time would have been awesome if I could have been one of the thousands He fed loaves and fishes to. However, that time period is disturbing to me...people like Herod, and Caesar, and cleanliness was much more of a problem then (I think)...not much indoor plumbing and washing machines, etc. Boy have we got it easy!
    5. What one thing could a person put on a sandwich that would ruin it for you? Pickled herring.
    6. Are you afraid of getting older? Yes and no, I hate getting sick.
    7. What do you miss about being younger? I can't really think of anything, I had a difficult childhood...
    8. What do you NOT miss about being younger? I always felt terrorized, I don't now, so I suppose that's one thing I definitely do not miss.
    9. What is your favorite song right now? Music isn't really my “thing”...so this is a really tough question somehow. I do enjoy works by Handel, and (edited to add)... Bach was a genius...
   
   
   10.What is the messiest part of your house? Definitely my spare bedroom...but my living room is a close second right now because I've been pulling boxes of stuff out of the spare room to shred, and sorting through stuff...Aaaaargh!!!
   11.Do you think it is okay for kids that you don't know from the surrounding neighborhoods to show up uninvited to your house to play? (research for me) No, not uninvited. My daughter had a problem with some of her neighborhood children showing up and taking sodas out of her fridge in her garage whenever they felt like it, and they went through a lot of soda!....she had to put a stop to it. I think boundaries are good and children need to learn how to respect other people's boundaries, and learn what their own are as well. It is part of proper training, and teaches them (the offenders) how to control themselves, and know how to set their own boundaries for others to respect in their (those offenders) personal situations as well so they won't keep creating chaos in other people's lives.

Now for others that I need to tag...well, not sure that many regular visitors would accept the challenge, or want it (as Ma also pointed out) so I'll put it “out there” for anyone who wants to follow up with these questions (If you read this far into this posting, consider yourself tagged):

1. What is your favorite dessert?
2. What bothers you most in your day to day activities?
3. How do you cope (besides prayer, I'm considering that a given) with annoying people?
4. If you could change one thing instantly in your life, what would it be?
5. Where is the one place in this world that you want to someday visit before you die?
6. What do you think most people find ANNOYING about you?
7. What do you think most people find ENDEARING about you?
8. What is the one thing that you do better than most people?
9. If you could meet anyone in history (besides Jesus, we already know you want to meet Him) who would it be?
10. If you could have something (a tangible thing, like “the Hope diamond” or a Lamborgini, or castle in Ireland, as for instances...now since those are suggestions, you must think of another one, lol) that right now seems absolutely unattainable, what would it be?
11. What is one thing many people don't know about you but you wish that they did?
