Nope. I lived in Connecticut until I was in the sixth grade. Then moved to Massachusetts. Then to Vermont. I knew I didn't want to go back to CT or MA, so we moved to NH. I would love to live in VT again. I loved it there.

2. Do you like cold weather?
Hate it. I hate snow, I hate the cold. Don't ask me why I'm living here.


3. Have you ever been to Pepperell, MA, just south of Nashua?
Never been. I've heard of it though.

4. What do you like about NH?
I love where I live. We're twenty min outside of Concord. It's nice and quiet, but still close to the city. I also like being semi-close to my family. I'm about 2 hours from my parents, and 1.5 hours from my future in-laws.

5. What do you dislike about NH?
The snow. I hate it. I hate driving in it, scares me. And the bad drivers. I swear, NH drivers are worse than MA. And the bad drivers in snow. The ones who like to tailgate you when you're trying to go a safe speed when the roads are snow covered.

6. Have you ever been fishing on the coast?
Nope. Might like to someday. FH wants to go fishing. I don't think I could go deep-sea fishing though. Afraid of the ocean and being out too far.

7. How many snow shovels do you own?
Just one. To shovel our balcony off and the snow around our cars since we live in an apartment.

8. How did you feel about "The Old Man of the Mountain" falling?
I thought it was sad, but no other feelings. I think I was still in VT at that time.

9. Do your cats go outside in the snow?
Not really. We've taken them out on the balcony, or even brought some inside the apartment. They weren't too impressed.

10. Have you ever been to Hampshire?
No unfortunately.

1. Do you have any phobias?

A lot. I'm claustrophobic. Hate tight spaces. Biggets fear in that realm is being buried alive. I have a fear of being out in the middle of the ocean in the water. I hate water I can't see the bottom in. I hate heights. Hate flying. We flew a couple years ago and had a near panic attack. Same thing with a water ride in PA. It was really high up and I almost had a panic attack again. I'm also afraid of being in a serious car accident. There's probably more.

2. What is your favorite element from the periodic table?

Hmmm. Silver. I love silver.

3. Have you had any embarrassing moments? Which was the most embarrassing?

Just one I guess. I was in gym class in high school and was wearing those rip away pants. I was running to the base, and as you can probably guess, they ripped right off. Yeah, not cool.


4. What makes you happy?

Being with my fiance and kitties in our apartment. Being with friends and family. Playing soccer.

5. Do you have a favorite online game?

Not really. I like playing the games like Diner Dash, Cake Mania, Turbo Fiesta, or Wedding Dash. I usually play them for the hour free trials and then stop. They're addicting.

6. Is there a type of food that you don't like?

Any seafood. Although I do like some seafood chowder or clam chowder, as long as it isn't laden with clams or seafood. A little bit I can handle. I also like crab rangoon. LOL. I also hate onions and mushrooms.

7. What piece of furniture is your favorite?

My bed. It's a queen-size pillowtop and it's heaven to sleep on it.

8. What is your favorite piece of clothing that you own?

I have a pink skull shirt that I like. My green Aero sweatshirt, or any of my fiance's hoodies.

9. What is the best advice anyone has given you?

Good things come to those who wait. If you wait for something and try your hardest at what you're doing, good or better things will come to you. I always think like that. My job might not be the best, but if I try my hardest every day and do all that I can, something good will come along eventually.

10. If you had a themesong, which would it be?

That's a tough one. I really can't think of one right now. If I do, I'll come back to answer this.

11. List one accomplishment you're proud of!

Graduating from college. That's probably been the biggest one.

12. Do you have any recurring dreams?

No, thankfully. I don't like recurring dreams.

I've been to Montreal twice. Once with my family, and once when I went on a college trip. Needless to say, the college trip was more fun.

What is your favorite type of music?
Country by far. I love the stories that the lyrics of the songs tell. I also like hip hop, pop, top 40, and alternative/punk.

What is your best quality?
Probably my friendliness. I'm always super nice and friendly to people. At least I try to be.

Do you see the glass as half empty or half full?
Half full.

What is your earliest memory?
Hmm. Washing dishes with my grandmother at her house. I remember standing on the step stool, helping her wash the dishes from dinner.

Do you like poetry?
Yes. I especially like romantic poetry.

How tall are you?
About 5' 5"

Do you have a favorite actor and actress?
Actress. I love Kate Hudson and Rachel McAdams. Actor. I love Channing Tatum and Chad Michael Murray. I think I have more, but can't think of them right now.

Do you believe in ghosts?
Yep. Sure do. I also believe in people contacting their loved ones once they've passed on. I've told this story before. But my great-grandmother passed away about a month ago. And the Friday night after she passed, my dad was sitting on the couch, and the phone rang. My great-grandmother always said she was going to go back to New Mexico, and what do you know, the caller ID on the phone said 'New Mexico.' They let the answering machine pick it up, and when they listened to it, it sounded like someone holding a phone out the window. All they could hear was static. They took it as a sign my great-grandmother is okay and in a better place.

Da Bird. They go crazy for that thing. Namine also likes anything pink. I don't know what it is. Here 2 favorite toys are her pink ball and her pink furry toy.

2. Where is their favorite place to sleep?
For Kairi, it's on any of our clothes. The darker the better. She loves sleeping on my fiance's sleep shorts, or his work clothes when he comes home. She was laying on my pajamas on the bed this morning. For Namine, she likes to sleep anywhere. The cat tree, my pillow, the computer chair. She likes to sleep by my head at night. It's like she's protecting me.

3. Do they like catnip and/or catnip toys?
Oh yea, they go crazy for catnip. I got them some catnip bananas after seeing them on here. They go crazy for those.

4. How many cats have you had in your lifetime?
Including these two, four. We had a cat named Pepper when I was younger. When he passed, I think it was a year or two until my mom could get another cat. That cat's name is Cali (yes, a Calico) and she's still at my parents house.

5. What's the funniest thing one of your cats ever did?
Kairi went crazy one time, and went flying around the apartment. She ran up the counter, on top of the fridge, on top of the cabinets, and back down. My fiance said it was funny. Namine always does funny things. She's a crazy kitty.

6. Do they eat dry or/and wet?
Both. We give them a scoop of dry in the morning. Then they split 1/4 of a can in the evening, and another 1/4 of the can around 11 when my fiance comes to bed.

7. Do you have any other pets? Dogs, reptiles, mice ect..
Nope. I would like another cat. My fiance wants a dog, but can't have one now since we're in an apartment. I would love another rabbit some day too. I had one when I was younger.

8. Name something (or someone) that annoys your kitties.
Annoys them? Hm don't know. They're afraid of thunderstorms though. Namine is terrified of them. She's runs and hides under the bed and cowers. They don't like the vacuum either.

9. Are your kitties indoor or outdoor?
Fully indoor. We live in an apartment so it's not possible for them to be outside. Even if we lived in a house, I still wouldn't let them out. They're safer inside.

10. Do you or have you ever taken them somewhere to get them groomed?
Nope. No need. We brush them every week though.

11. Do you trim their nails or does someone else?
We trim. We try to trim them once a week, but we haven't been doing so well at that. Usually every other week though. We don't have any problems with them scratching though.

Your welcome! Thank you for asking me questions! I felt the same way when my dad told me the story. But it also gave me a good feeling, like she was watching over us and letting us know she's alright.

A little bit. I like to cook when I have time to. When I get home from work, I have to work out and then try to cook dinner, all within a limited time. I usually throw something in the crockpot before I leave in the morning. That way, I really don't have to worry about cooking when I get home.

2. Do you like to bake?
I love to bake. I love to make cookies, brownies, cakes, you name. Anything sweet with chocolate. I love to try new recipes too.

3. Are you a lefty or a righty?
Righty

4. Do you wear glasses?
I wear both contacts and glasses. Contacts for the daytime, and glasses whenever I take my contacts out. I can't wear my glasses for long periods of time. Sometimes they give me headaches.

5. Are you a coffee or tea drinker?
Nope. The only thing coffee related I like are the iced lattes from Dunkin Donuts. What I usually get is a Mocha Iced Latte with extra mocha. That way there's more chocolate than coffee.


6. What's your favorite time of day/night?
Probably bed time. I love to sleep. I hate getting up early.

7. When was the last time you went to the movies?
Hmm. It's been awhile. Maybe last October when we saw Saw 5 in theaters. I can't really remember another time since then.

8. What's your favorite time of year?
Spring. I love everything about spring. How it's warmer, the pretty flowers, the smell of spring.

9. Do you drink alcohol? If so, what's your favorite drink?
Yup, but I don't drink as much as I used to in college. I rarely ever drink now. I like Smirnoff Ice, Midori Sours, Sex on the Beach, Mike's Hard Lemonade.

10. Do you smoke?
Nope. Can't stand it. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke.

11. What's your favorite candy?
Anything chocolate. I'm a chocolate addict. I love the Lindt truffles, they're probably my favorites.

12. Would you rather wear shoes or go barefoot?
Probably shoes. Or just socks. I don't really like to go barefoot.

13. What's your favorite holiday besides Christmas?
Hmm. I'd have to say Thanksgiving. Just getting together with family is my favorite.

14. What would you say is your favorite piece of furniture?
My pillowtop bed. It's like heaven to sleep on.


Btw, those 1 hour free trial online games ARE addicting!
They really are! I'm bad, because sometimes I try to find where they're hosted on another site and get another hour to play. I love those kinds of games.

Country. I grew up listening to it, then kinda grew out of it in my teenage years. But once in college, I loved it again. I love the stories the songs tell, and how amazing the singers are.

2.- How many Cd´s do you have?

A bunch, but I don't buy CDs anymore. I have my ipod and just get MP3s. I'll buy the CD if I like most of the songs on it. I bought Taylor Swift's Fearless CD, and every song on it is amazing.

3.- Wich one is your favourite singer Male?

Toby Keith is my favorite. I also like Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts.

4.- Wich one is your favourite singer Female?
Taylor Swift, hands down. She is amazing for her age. I also like Carrie Underwood.

5.- Have you ever to listened at http://www.rippingtons.com/ ?????

Never heard of them before, but I went to their link, and it's pretty good.

6.- Do you have a CD collection? ( I mean for example all Cd´s from a determinate artist???

I think I have every Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees CD that they each put out. It was back when I was in high school though. But I still find myself loving the songs when they come on my ipod.

7.- Have you ever to participated in some Concert of your favourite artist?

I've seen Toby Keith 3 times in concert, and have also seen 98 Degrees, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance.

8.- Do you have any preference to listen a Radio FM station???

Have you ever to listened this one??...,….
http://www.1.fm/Station/SmoothJazz/Default.aspx )
My favorite station is 93.3. It's the local country station. I also listen to 102.5 for the top 40 stuff, and 101.1 for the rock/morning show.

9.- In your own opinion wich one is better, a CD original from an artist or an MP3 collage of music without nothing of information?...

I like mix CDs. I very rarely like every song on a CD, and my favorite songs change daily. So if I have a mix CD I can put all of my favorite songs on it. My ipod has a playlist entitled "new music" and I put all of the songs that are new or my favorite at the moment.

10.- Do you play some Musical instrument?
…
I played the flute in grades 5 & 6, but when I moved to MA I stopped. I've tried playing when I go home, but it definitely doesn't sound good.
