Be honest no matter what!

[ ONE] Where was your default pic taken ?

On the steps of Asher FBC Fellowship hall at Christmas. I have used the same one forever and just keep changing the background to match my page. Because I'm a litle odd that way.

[TWO] Whats ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />ur middle name?

Alan. The shorthand "your" is so high school, btw.

[ THREE] Your relationship status?

Indefinitely single

[ FOUR] Have you ever lost a close friend?

Yes

[ FIVE] What is your current mood?

A little sleepy but otherwise satisfactory

[SIX]What is one of your sisters names?

I do not have any sisters, but I have a brother, Steve.

[SEVEN] Whats your favorite color(s)?

Blue and yellow. I kind of like the new AT&T phone books.

[EiGHT] if you could go back in time and change something would you?

One in particular... but I'm not going to tell you.

[NINE] Have a crazy side?

I tend to go a little off whenever authority figures are absent. Both at school and now at work.

Not that I know about.

[ELEVEN] Last kiss that made you think, "God I love him/her

Honesty, can't say I've ever thought that exactly.

[TWELVE] Angry at anyone?

Nobody's on my list right now.

[THIRTEEN] What's stopping you from going for the person you like?

I'm an idiot.

[FOURTEEN] When is the last time you cried?

Don't remember exactly when... a couple of weeks ago. Tried to watch dad's memorial video again. Nope... still can't get through it.

[FIFTEEN] Who would you do anything for?

I'm going to have to limit that to just family if we're going to throw "anything' in there so haphazardly.

[SIXTEEN] Are you happy with your life?

In most areas... but a couple not so much.

[SEVENTEEN]Do you wish someone died?

Wow. Heavy question. But no.

[EIGHTEEN] Is there someone that you will never stop loving?

Yes

[NINETEEN] What Kind Of Phone Do You Have?

I have an overly priced, overly hyped iPhone and I like it. So there.

[TWENTY]Who do you trust most?

My mom.

[TWENTY ONE] Ever been in a fist fight?

No... can you imagine me.... in a fist fight? Seriously?

[TWENTY- THREE ] Do you speak any other languages?

No, I've taken a little Spanish, but forgot most of it. I wish I did though.

[TWENTY- FOUR] Can you talk to people about anything?

I'm going to say no on that one-- not anything.

[TWENTY- FIVE] Describe your life in one word

Consistent.

[TWENTY-SIX]Have you ever kissed in the rain?

Can't say that I have.

[TWENTY-SEVEN] what are you thinking of right now?

The answer to "what am I thinking of right now?" Whoa... that's one of those weird never-ending loop of a black hole questions, isn't it. Better move on.

[TWENTY- EIGHT ] What should you be doing right now?

Laundry, cleaning house, planning my DC trip, getting ready for bed... basically anything but this.

[TWENTY-NINE] Who are you thinking of right now?

Nobody in particular. I'm trying to answer this survey, for goodness sakes.

[THIRTY] What are you listening to?

Just the roar of the AC

[THIRTY- ONE] Who was the last person you told I love you to?

Mom

[THIRTY- TWO] Who was the last person who yelled at you?

I guess the closest thing would be a customer at the store last week. She wasn't really yelling, but she wasn't pleased either.

[THIRTY- THREE ] Do you act differently around the person you like?

I don't "like" anyone in particular right now, but I'm quite sure I would.

[THIRTY- FOUR] What is your natural hair color?

Brown. I've always wanted to have black hair, though. So, while there is no artificial color, if there was... that's what it would be.

[THIRTY- FIVE] Who was the last person to make you smile?

I was walking down Hwy 1 after work today (I get board of exercising the route way everytime, so today was walk down the highway day) and these two girls in this truck starting honking at me and waving. I waved back, to be polite of course, and when they got by and was pretty sure they didn't know me and just wanted to see if they could make me wave and crazy strangers driving down the road. I found it funny.... so I smiled.

[THIRTY SIX] have you ever screwed up a friendship and want a way to fix it?

No, most of my friendships are pretty much screwed-up free at the moment.

Drama at the carpet store...

Yes, that's three police cars in our parking lot. I don't have a lot of details, but let's just say they're not looking at flooring. Oh, and there was an arrest made.

Travel Horror Story (coming back from AL)!

All I had heard was bad things about the airlines, so I was not too excited about flying again (this would only be my second time), but we had not problems getting there. Getting back was a little rough, though. This is going to be long and I am going to use "so" a lot.... We were leaving to go back home Sunday and as we walk into the airport I get a text that the plane is delayed, leaving at 11:15 instead of 10:05. Which was not that big of a deal since we had a 2 hour layover in Dallas. So, we get to the ticket counter and it's only going to be a 10 minute delay (good thing we didn't come an hour later). So we get loaded up and start to take off, and about the time we should lift off the engines shut down and the emergency lights come on down the aisles. Not great. The pilot tells us there's a problem with the plane and we have to go back to the gate. So we sit there for about 20 mins and we have to deplane. The next flight out doesn't leave until 5:00 and this is about 10:30. We were supposed to be back in OKC by 4:30, mind you. So, we are pretty much trapped at the Mobile airport (which has nothing in it other than a snack bar) for 6 hours without a vehicle. We mess around for about an hour and decide to go back through security just in case they get the plane fixed. We get through security and hear our names and that we have 1 minute to board. I guess they fixed the plane and we never heard the announcement. So we ran all the way through the airport (we were the last gate, of course) and they go ahead and let us board. Then there is supposedly an extra person on board so they try to figure that out for about 20 minutes. Then it starts lightening and knocks out the airports computers so they can't get the final paperwork to leave. Had we left even within 45 minutes of re-boarding, we had a chance to catch a second connection in Dallas. But when we finally get to Dallas as 3:35, we missed that connection by 5 minutes. The next plane to OKC didn't leave until 11:00! So we rented a car and drove back to OKC (we were with someone who had their car at the airport). So, it was a big mess and we got back about 4 hours later than planned, but I guess we're rather lucky to have got back at all. So, there’s my travel horror story (there always must be one!).

Brad's Beach

This is where I spent a large part of today. I walked about a half- mile down the beach (that's our condo in the background) to this place where there was literally not a person. So, I declared it "Brad's Beach" and hung out in the water for a while, letting the waves knock me around. The seagulls kept me company.

I had my iphone with me in a bag, but didn't want to take it into the water with me but also didn't have anyone to watch it on the beach, so I buried it in the sand (along with some cash and credit card) next to this old log. I put my shirt on the log so I could find it later. I was like--- "don't steal my shirt... don't steal my shirt."

For all the pics, just click the thumbnail at right.

We're here!

We're here!

We made it! Actually we got in last night but we went and ate and got in late, so I was so tired. I'm out on the beach this morning. It's right outside the condo- very cool. It's not very crowded either-- I hope it stays this way!

Vacation Update

We've made it to DFW! We'll be departing here in about 20 minutes
after, hopefully, a short delay. Then it's on to Mobile and finally
Gulf Shores, which is near Pensacola, Fl.

This airport is HUGE, BTW. We're riding on the tram now to our gate. Next update from Alabama!

Leaving OKC for Vacation

In the spirit of live casting, I am going to keep my all my blog visitors (count: 2) updated on my Gulf Shores vacation. We're high above OKC headed for DFW. This plane is so cramped. I have to admit-- it's been a while since I have flown and I (quietly) freaked out a little when I looked out the window. Scared of heights and all. But I adjusted.
