Seven Things Link-Up #7

Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday means spending the day with Eli (YAY!) and Gentri Lee's 7 Questions Link-Up, brought to you by Gentri Lee!  I'm so super stoked for this one because it's the seventh one, and that means we've now answered...um...7 x 7 questions!

AND seen seven wickedly bizarre photographs...



Like this one, which was taken last year after we got the final piece of our couch, and I celebrated by flopping onto it and somehow sweet action shots were taken?  Ugh you guy know how on America's Next Top Model, when they do jumping photo shoots, they always yell at the girls to "stay pretty in the face"?  I guess this is why I've never been on ANTM.


1. What is your favorite App?

Oooh Angry Birds!  They are so irrationally angry...in a weird way, it helps me put my own anger into perspective by playing.


2. You have to come up with a book title on the spot- what is it?

"Don't Cry Out Loud: The Trials and Triumphs of the World's Saddest Mime"  <-- that's actually pretty good.  It sounds like a book that Tobias Funke might read.

3. You are given the choice between laughing at everything- always, or never being able to laugh again. Which would you choose?

Laughing at everything, naturally.  I already do.  Laughter is the greatest weapon in your arsenal.  Laugh at yourself and everyone around you will relax.  Also, if you laugh at someone who's being obviously rude or obnoxious, they get really confused and a little afraid of you and they usually stop.

4. What natural disaster scares you the most?

I suppose hurricane, since that's the only one I've never lived through.  A tornado struck during my only ever ballet recital.  That's a pretty strong omen telling me to give up ballet.

5. What time do you wake up each day? What time do you go to sleep?

I usually fall asleep sometime between 10pm and 1am, depending greatly on what I've done that day and whether there's anything worth staying up for.  But regardless, I always wake up around 7 or 7:15, even without an alarm.  I think it's still too bright in the bedroom.

6. Who's your daddy, and what does he do?

Well, my father is in the field of Library Administration, he lobbies for more money for libraries, and budgets for better programming and services in the libraries.  He also golfs a lot, likes good Scotch, and enjoys The Weather Channel un-ironically.

7. What's the craziest dream you've ever had?

I try to record my craziest dreams here for you all to enjoy, but last night I dreamed that Eli and I were having a spontaneous marriage ceremony in a tiny apartment, and in attendance were four dogs (two of whom I recognized), my parents, and Eli's cousin.  Before the nuptials it somehow came out that Eli's middle name is Robert (which it isn't, not that there's anything wrong with that) and everyone was chastising me for marrying someone whose middle name I didn't know.  The worst part is, the best defense I could come up with was "What's in a name?"  Weak.

How sad is it that I don't know what 7 X 7 is?

I want to say "42?"  But maybe I've just been conditioned to remember that that's the answer to everything.

Post the answer in the comments...because I'm too lazy to use my phone as a calculator.

Modern Times!
