I’ve been in kind of a bloggy funk for a while now. I’ve had no desire to write, and no words or inspiration from which to draw. So, I’m hoping to kickstart my brain by getting back into the Share Your World prompt, hosted by the fabulous Cee.
If you had your own talk show, who would your first three guests be? (guest can be dead, alive, famous or someone you just know)
The first would be my maternal grandmother. She was taken far too young. She passed when I was 7, and I’ve always felt like I was robbed of really getting to know her. The second and third would be both of my grandfathers. My maternal grandfather died of lung cancer when he was only 48, many years before I was born. My paternal grandfather died when I was just two months old. I have been assured by everyone they were both fantastic men, and I would love to have a chance to sit down with both of them and have a conversation with them.
If anyone was expecting to see a celebrity on this list then you don’t know me. Celebrity culture disgusts me.
What can you always be found with?
Clothes on? I don’t know. I normally always have my cell phone with me. And my wallet…
What is the most fun thing you did in school?
Skip class. I hated school. Quite honestly, I was always bored at school. I was lucky enough to learn things quickly, quicker than it took for the teacher to lecture about it. Normally if I read it or was shown how to do it once that was all that was required.
What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I don’t know, honestly. I don’t really pay attention to the way other people do things because I do what works for me and mind my own business most of the time. So, um, yeah….
If anyone else would like to link up and answer these questions, head on over to Cee’s Photography!

I didn’t skip school often, but it was always fun when I did. I’m with you on the learning. I remember my mom yelling at me while I was playing video games. She didn’t understand how I could do poorly in school but I could remember all those button combinations to do stuff in the video game. I always told her, I can’t learn it by being told, I have to do it. Hands on. She never got that.

That, and video games is a hell of a lot more fun than math and English…

Ain’t that the truth. At one point I got a better grade in Spanish than English. I also failed three of four years of high school math. Maybe that’s why I’m 34 and delivering pizza for a living.

Celebrity interviews suck. Shirt, shoes, service. I asked a store dude why pants weren’t required. I was probably 6 years old. I thought my mom was gonna pass out. My dad could barely hold his laugh in.

More importantly, if they don’t care about pants, why is there nothing about undies?

I guess maybe they think no one will be stupid enough to waltz around with no pants on?

It was more of a smart ass question. When I was six, I looked like I was three. Some.lady in the mall remarked that I was young to he tying my shoes. I was six and told her so, not nicely either. The other day I was carded. I.showed her ID and she muttered that I looked 32. I wanted my stuff so I just said thanks.

Grrr, why isn’t WP alerting me that you replied to my comment?
Anyway, to answer your question, when you set up your account, you set a daily step target (in my case, 10,000 steps). When you hit the 10,000 the wristband vibrates (VICTORY!), but you can also track progress to the exact # of steps on an app on your phone. If it’s 9 or so at night and I’m still at 8,000~ steps, you better believe I get up off the couch and start marching around the house to hit my 10,000.
