GTKY Sunday because flickr is taking a year and a day

Out of sheer boredom I decided to par-take in another Getting to Know You Sunday. That and Flickr is taking a year to upload all of my pictures. Without further ado, here are my answers!



1. If you accidently knick a car in a parking lot..Do you leave a note or do you get the heck out of there?
Depends on how bad it is. If I just hit the car while getting in/out of mine, I just walk away and justify it as they had it coming for parking so close to the line.

2. Love your body or plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery, no questions asked. Yes, I am a vain bitch.

3. What about your favorite blog(s) continues to drive you back?
Definitely the content and the blogger's ability to tell a story.

4. What percent of your blog is BS just to make your life seem more interesting than it really is?
5% BS and 95% real. This is probably the main reason for my disappearing followers/low readership. I need to either find a more interesting life or learn how to make up better stories.

5. If you had to give up one type of meat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pork. I just don't like the consistency of it.

6. How often to you eat out?
Too often. It is where all of my money goes.

7. Skinny jeans or boot cut jeans?
Boot cut. I am far too fat for skinny jeans.

8. If you caught your spouse cheating would you forgive, divorce, or plan your kill?
ONE OF MY GREATEST FEARS IN LIFE. I am hoping that I would access the situation first before doing something. However, this would probably destroy the trust and without trust you cannot have a happy marriage so there is no "stay together for the kids" situation. I would rather my children growing up in a split family than seeing an unhappy marriage.

Sunday GTKY

Join in Getting to know YOU

1. If you could host a Reality TV show, which one would it be?

Top Chef. Although I'd probably be the size of a manatee from all of that food!

2. Do you put your seatbelt on before or after you start the car?

After.

3. Shave or hair removal cream?

Shave/wax. I had a bad experience when I naired my eyebrows and lost half of one, the day before my Confirmation. Oh yes, I was always a bright one.

4. What's your favorite feature in a house?

Kitchen and bathroom.

5. What is your favorite "Fall" scent?

Pumpkin spice :)

6. What tv show are you looking forward to seeing the most this Fall??

I really don't have (or at least I can't think of anything) that I watch during the fall. However, there is a show premiering on HBO called Boardwalk Empire that I am looking forward to.

7. Personal Shopper or Personal Chef?

Chef, without a doubt.

8. What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of "Fall"?

MANY THINGS! Crisp, cool weather, beautiful leaves, pumpkin spice lattes and um, MY BIRTHDAY !!! Yes, fall is my favorite season and it is sooo close!

Soo.. like I promised in my last entry, real update coming! I will make it tomorrow during class since well, I'm usually bored out of my mind in it. EVENTFUL weekend that was both good and bad.

Getting to Know You (AKA I'm just bored in class)

So I decided to do the Getting to Know You thing with MannLand because I am bored in class lol. If you want to participate as well, go to that site and just post/link up!

1. Do you think mustaches are sexy?
Not in the least bit! I don't find facial hair sexy, period.

2. What's the last concert you've been to?
*NSYNC - No Strings Attached tour in 2001. I tried changing this and going to a Lady Gaga one this summer but I was unable to get tickets.

3. What was your favorite 80s sitcom?
I was only 3 when the 80's ended. Would Roseanne count?! It did premiere in the 80's and was one of my favorite shows when I was younger.

4. Were you named after anyone?
Yes, my daddy. His name was Nicholas Joseph and my name is Nikki Jo.

Probably FaceBook so THANK GOD for this blog lol.

7. What is your favorite department store?
Definitely Macy*s, they have EVERYTHING!

8. If you were to get laser hair removal, where would you get it?
Would it be possible to get your um, who-hah hair laser removed? If so, definitely that!

challenge wednesdays

So I've really been enjoying my mini summer vacation so far and I really wish it was for longer than two weeks but oh well, what can you do? Since I am having trouble accomplishing things that I need to (I am being VERY lazy), I have decided to make it thise week's challenge.

Clean my room and put all new clothes away.
Organize shoes in closet.
Practice for one hour a day.
Do all of my laundry.
Go to the beach at least once.
Go to the gym at least three days a week.
Go on a shopping spree.
Sleep in until three and go out and drink that night.
Hang out with friends I am normally not able to see.
Go down to the shore.
Balance my checkbook/finances.
Clean out my school bag and organize it.
Do not drink soda for one week.


That is all that I could think of for now, it is a short break after all.

Oh and I failed miserably at last week's challenge of not drinking soda so I added it to the end of the list.

Also, I received another award from the lovely One Blonde Girl. So to add to my list, make the three entries for the awards!

challenge wednesdays

So last week's challenge of not logging onto facebook for a week was somewhat successful. With the exception of a random status update and one notification check (both done on my phone), I did not log onto the site. Today I just logged on for a few minutes and have not logged back in since. I really have no desire to and I just think that the site causes way too much drama. I ended up seeing some pictures from a fraternity's formal that kind of caused me to raise an eyebrow. If you have been reading my blog for a while you would remember the fiasco that occured with picking a date for my formal. While going through the pictures I noticed a girl that I friendly with was LumberJack's date. This stuck out to me, not because I was jealous or anything but because she was one of the few people that I told that I had a slight crush on him. Obviously, the feelings were not mutual or he would not have canceled on me but that's not the point. I don't really associate myself with these people, but I wouldn't want to be a laughing stock either. One of the things on my 101 in 1001 was to wean myself off of facebook, I guess I can cross another item off of this list!
Anyway on to this week's challenge -

DO NOT DRINK SODA FOR ONE WEEK. This includes when I go out to eat, which is when I actually drink the most soda. This one is going to be very difficult, especially since this weekend I am going out to dinner twice.

Who is with me on this one?

[Oh and in reference to my last post, Ellie passed away this morning. May she rest in peace and her family find comfort in knowing that their little girl is at peace and in pain no more]

challenge wednesdays

So I've decided to try something new, every Wednesday I am going to do a seven day long challenge. I will try and keep up with this and do a new one every week.

This week's challenge - GO SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT LOGGING ON TO facebook.

Now, I've been on FB for around five years now, back when it was just for college students and THEFACEBOOK.COM. Shows my age, huh? So this will be a little difficult. This includes next checking it on my phone either - THIS will be the real challenge!

Anyone wanna join me? Let's do it!
