Ten on Tuesday! Volume 11

Hello Ten on Tuesday!  I figured since I can do these pretty quick, I'd shove it into my hour of Laptop Limitation Time.  I'll return tomorrow or Thursday!
(and of course, head over to Chelsea's if you join in on the fun, and make sure to submit your name to Mr. Linky!)

1.  If you could travel back in time, would you?  What decade would you visit?
Am I traveling back for a visit, or am I traveling back to live forever and start my life from that point?  Because if it's the latter, I wouldn't go back.  If it's the former, I would definitely go to the Victoria era.

2. What was your best Halloween costume?  (fun to make? most creative?)
So...y'all can lambast me for this if you like, but I don't dress up for Halloween, and I haven't since about 3rd grade.  Possibly 2nd.  I've had 2 costumes that I can remember.  Of the two, I guess I liked the gypsy costume best because my mom made it for me and I thought it was so adorable.

3. Do you like your name?  If you weren’t called by your name, what would you want to be called?
I'm used to my name.  Even though it's one of the most common names in the world (first and middle name), I think it fits me well.  It's been fun getting nicknames since so many others have my name.  I adore my last name, though.

4. In the past year, what is the BEST recipe you made.  Please share it!
I haven't?  I don't really cook.  anything I do is a simple meal thrown together out of time restraint.  I suppose the yummiest is my mom's cookie recipe, but I don't have that anywhere handy right now.  Just know that her oatmeal banana chocolate chip cookies are the freakin' BEST.

5. Look around – what is the nearest object or picture hanging on the wall?
Two very different types of lamps are hanging on the wall next to me.  Oh wait, no...there's a sign that says "Occupancy 116" just above me.  I'm at Panera, and it can hold 116 people in their dining room.  Apparently.

6. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?  Would you recommend it?
Hmm hmm hmm...in a theatre?  Good Lord it has been awhile.  I really think it was New Moon (dollar theatre, woo!), and that was in February.  And do I recommend it?  Uhh...sure?  I'm pretty sure my recommendation won't be the deciding factor if you do or don't go.

7. Did you go to summer camp?  Will you/do you send your kids to camp?
I did, for a few years when I lived in Belgium.  But it was a type of day camp, never a sleepaway kind of camp.  I really liked it, but it was different from the norm since it was a military thing and it was the only place where everyone spoke English.  I probably would send my kids to a camp, if they want to.

8. What kind of ringtone do you have?
My regular ringtone is Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel (my favourite MJ song!); my brother's ringtone is the Reading Rainbow theme song; my mom's ringtone is Boyz II Men - A Song For Mama, and my dad's ringtone is the Kill Bill theme song (he likes the movie, not for other reasons!).

9. Where is the farthest away from home you have ever been?
That question can't apply to me since I don't really have a distinct home.  I mean, if you mean my current home, I guess either San Francisco or when I was in Utah/Colorado/Arizona/New Mexico--I don't know which is farther.  But if you mean farthest from what I called home at the time, when I lived in Belgium I came to San Diego.  And I went to the Philippines.  Again, I don't know which is farther.

10. Has anyone ever written a song or a poem for or about you?
Yes.  Both, a few times, by a few people.  I don't want to talk about it.
