It’s been a long, long time since I did any kind of survey, and I always think they are kind of fun! I was tagged in a few a couple months ago when I wasn’t blogging much and never got around to doing them. On Monday Sara tagged me in a Versatile Blogger Survey so I thought I would go and answer her questions today!
1. What is something people might be surprised to learn about you? I shared some random facts about my self in this post last year. Other than that, I guess I will tell you that I am not an “animal person” and you will probably all think I am a cruel human, but it’s the truth. I don’t hate them or anything, I just would never want to have a pet and there are a million other places I would rather go besides the zoo or aquarium.
2. Have you ever met someone famous? When I was studying abroad in London I met Alyson Hannigan. She was in the play “When Harry Met Sally” with Luke Perry and after I went to see it I met her outside and got a picture with her!
3.What is something you hope will never come back in style? The first thing that comes to mind is overalls. Also, crimped hair.
4. What is one place on your travel must-see bucket list? Lately I have been thinking about how I want to go out west to do some running. Whether it’s a race, or just a vacation with lots of time of the trails, I think it would be really fun. This is probably because I am jealous of Laura who just moved to Washington!
5. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? I have no idea, it’s too weird to even think about a movie of my life.
6. Who is your favorite Disney Princess? I was trying to think of one so I googled “Disney Princesses” and found this quiz to determine your favorite princess…I got Rapunzel although I don’t think of all the Disney princesses I would have picked her on my own.
7. What would you sing at karaoke night? Anything by Billy Joel:) I got a lot of practice with that from about 2001-2006.
8. Who would you want to be stranded with on a deserted island? I don’t really want to be stranded on a desert island. Fine, I’ll take my husband. He has fairly good survival skills and way more common sense than me.
9. What is your biggest pet peeve? I hate hate hate wet socks. And people who walk slow in front of me.
10. What clothing item/accessory/shoes do you have way too many of in your closet? I don’t think I have an excessive amount of shoes, but there are quite a few especially when you include running shoes. Actually I should probably say that I have way too many workout clothes.
Now, to tag some other bloggers:
What is something you hope never comes back in style?
Does anyone else really hate wearing wet socks?
Pick one (or more!) of the questions from above and share your answer!
I knew we shared a part of our brains because I’m not an animal person either and always feel bad about it! And yes wet socks are the worst, I shudder at the thought.
Wow I am glad Im not the only one who isn’t an animal person! But don’t you have a cat? Rob and I have already decided that we will need to raise our kids to not be animal people either because they will never be allowed to have a pet.
Haha yes! We actually adopted him from my cousin after she found out her daughter was allergic. I wouldn’t have done it on my own, but Adam loves cats. He will be my first and last pet I have a feeling, as much as I care for him at this point I know now more than ever that I’m really not an animal person as bad as that sounds.
I hate to say that I am seeing overalls again in stores! I don’t like zoos or aquariums either. My son does but I can think of 100 other things I would rather do too.
I can’t believe overalls are coming back! And glad Im not the only one who doesn’t like the zoo or aquarium.
OMG wet socks and shoes are one of my biggest pet peeves. It is part of the reason that I don’t like running in/after the rain.
They need to come off immediately once I get inside.
Overalls are totally back in… but wet socks will always be the worst!
I am shocked to be learning that today! Not sure if I would ever buy them again though.
I’m so with you on hair crimpers and slow walkers! Let’s ban them from life! haha
Haha yes!
Wet socks are the worst! The only feeling I can put up with that is sand in my sandals/shoes. I like animals a lot but I am not a dog person, I especially dislike big ones!
I hate getting sand in there too. I love running on the beach, but it does come with its problems:) If I had to choose I would pick a small dog over a big dog.
Wet socks are literally the bane of my running existence. With a nice brimmed cap I can run in the rain any day, but it’s those squelchy squishy shoes that really do me in…
I hate that feeling! I don’t mind running in the rain except for that part.
I literally cannot deal with wet socks. Especially when runnning. The squishing sound is just too much. But my biggest pet peeve is definitely being late. I just can’t handle it.. My boyfriend saw Billy Joel in concert with his family this year and said it was AH-MAZE-ING. I think you need to go ! 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!!
I hate being late too..or feeling like I gonna be late/having to rush. I saw Billy Joel a few years ago and would love to see him again!
Come out to Washington to race and visit me! And thank you for the tag 🙂
I really hate wet socks. Where I went to college we would get sudden downpours all the time, and I actually carried dry socks in my bag so I wouldn’t suffer through a class with wets socks.
Smart idea! I think I would do the same thing.
Anything from the 80s needs to stay in the 80s.
Agreed!:)
Yippee! I love talking about myself… lol thanks for the tag! It’s funny because I think I know you well *enough* from reading your blog to not be surprised by any of your answers. Andrew likes animals from a distance too. Ha ha! Like how I worded that?
Haha thats funny that you weren’t surprised by my answers…I guess I give it all away in my blog:) “Liking animals from a distance” is the perfect way to put it…I will say that from now on!
Hey my hubby hates wet socks! AND I HATE SLOW WALKERS. 🙂
Thanks for tagging me. 🙂 I will do it!
So are you saying that you like wet socks?! I would be shocked if you did. Looking forward to reading your answers!
Haha no I can’t say I like wet socks but for my hubby it is like the WORST thing in the world if his socks get wet! For me, I am just like “ooh, my socks got wet. I will change them.”
Oh I’m with you on overalls. Rompers are awful too. Remember the Lululemon Runsie? Wth were they thinking??
I just don’t get it! I am hearing that overalls are back in style, I think I will have to pass up that trend.
Well, I can’t resist a Disney quiz so I took it and I got Anna AND Elsa. But if I had to pick my favorite of the two it’d be Anna 🙂
Wet socks are awful but I think people walking slow in front of me is even worse! Especially when there’s a group and they take up the entire sidewalk/path and you can’t pass them – UGH! That’s the worst!!
Hope you have a great weekend, Lisa!
Exactly- when you can’t pass a group of people its so annoying! I feel like they can probably sense my frustration from behind them:)
I studied abroad in London too 🙂 And I just saw overalls in a store in the mall yesterday and was like, “ugh are those really back in style?” I can’t even buy little overalls for the boys because I personally don’t like them so much…..even though I think they would actually be adorable in them.
Yay for London! And I can’t believe overalls are back. I really had no idea when I wrote this. I do think they look cute on kids though!
Wet socks are the worst! I have way too many pairs of flip flops in my closet and I hope overalls never come back in style. I lived in them during college and they are just so unflattering! Have a great weekend!!
I feel like i have a hard time finding flip flops so I could probably use a few more pairs in my closet! I am hearing today that overalls are coming back..I don’t think I will be buying any though!
My biggest pet peeve…when my husband dips food into nut butters and leaves crumbs IN the nut butter….SO ANNOYING and disgusting!
Yuck! On the radio the other day someone suggested they make wider PB jars or ones that open down the middle. I thought that sounded pretty genius…and maybe he could dip his food without leaving crumbs behind:)
Such a fun survey! Thanks for tagging me in it :). I don’t think you’re cruel at all for not liking animals, and I love (most of) them. Wet socks are awful and fresh clean socks and/or new socks are the best. I usually bring another pair of shoes and socks for after a race since a trip out to breakfast usually follows, and I feel like I have new feet after haha. I never crimped my hair, but I remember my sister doing it all the time. I did wear overalls pretty much everyday in elementary school though ha.
Thanks for not thinking I am cruel:) I thought the crimped hair look was so cool back then but when I look back at pictures I want to cringe!
This is so fun!
Wet socks are the worst for sure!
I think acid wash jeans can stay in the 80s 🙂
Travel bucket list: There are so many places I want to visit – but I’d love to go to New Zealand and Australia (ok. 2 places, but hard to pick!) sometime soon.
Have a great weekend!!
There are lots of trends that can stay in the 80s! Your travel bucket list sounds pretty amazing!
Overalls are so comfortable though!! I haven’t owned a pair since I was 15, but I tried some on at a store recently and I kind of wanted them… You should definitely come run out west! The weather is unbeatable 🙂
Hm I guess i don’t remember if overalls are comfortable…but maybe! I am all about the comfort:) I had no idea they were back in style! I would love to come out west at some point:)
How cool you got a pic w Alyson Hannigan. That’s funny that you said you hope overalls never come back in. I have been seeing a lot of them lately in style magazines. I think they are trying to make a comeback.
I can’t believe that! Alot of people have said the in the comments and I am so surprised!
Yayyyy, glad you answered!! I took that same princess quiz and got Rapunzel too 🙂
Haha nice! We must have the same taste in Disney movies:)
LOL I used to rock the overalls, big time, but am SOOOO glad they’ve phased out. I too, LOATH wet socks!!!!
I’m glad too- but I can’t believe they are coming back in style! And wet socks really are the worst!
Ah I love random surveys. Kind of like TOL posts – it’s nice to get a peek at other aspects of a runner’s life 🙂
OMG YES I can’t stand slow walkers! Drives me crazy.
So random, but really cool that you met Alyson Hannigan. I used to LOVE How I Met Your Mother.
Also, crimped hair was pretty terrible. I had completely forgotten about it!
I love HIMYM too and I am so sad that its over. It was exciting to meet her and get a picture!
