Another round of fun, random Tuesday facts in the life of Alisa. Brought to by Roots and Rings.

1. Are you usually late, early, or right on time?

I am normally always a little early. This steams from two life factures. First: My parents were always late in picking me up/dropping me off. I hated it. It was embarrassing, it was painful, I still have deep seeded life issues based around those late arrivals and pick-ups. Second: My high school drama teacher (who fyi I did not get along with (further fyi I was just not one of her favorite chosen people)) Always made us repeat this phrase, “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is to be dead.” Well, it stuck. The phrase and the need to be early. Wow, this simple question has brought up a lot of emotions. I think I need a glass of wine now.

2. What is your middle name?

Lyn

3. What are the last 4 digits of your cell phone number?

5778

4. How big is your bed?

I have a super king. Don’t ask me to explain in full detail what that means. I just know a super king is like and american king but it is also longer. I just know British bed sizes are different, don’t know why.

5. What are you allergic to?

I can only eat small amounts of chocolate, and a big no-no on the dark chocolate. I know, its sad. You feel sorry for me. But don’t. I like breathing… so its ok. Also most heavy pain medication, I develop an allergic reaction a few days after using. Not fun. Already being in pain then getting sicker and breaking out in rashes. Nope, no fun, at all.

6. What is the first thing you do in the morning?

Sadly, the answer is reach for my macbook and check my email and facebook. I am addicted to the internet and to my baby (aka my macbook.) I had a professor at PTS challenge us to read our bible and pray every morning before we checked our email. Well, I think that spiritual practice lasted 3 days.

7. What was your favorite TV show growing up?

Oh, so many. I loved Flipper! I have many vivid memories of running home from the bus stop, making up a batch of cheese nachos, watching Flipper and being happy. I think that went hand in hand with my desire to be a dolphin when I grew up. For real- I am not making this stuff up. And, I loved Saturday morning cartoons: Thundercats, X-men, Spiderman.

8. Will you, or did you, go to your 10 year high school reunion?

Well, my 10 year will be this May I guess. Wow. Crazy. And I am in living in a different country. But, hypothetically if I was still living in or around the Carmel area, I still don’t know if I would go. I think I would have to have a serious talk with myself for still living in Carmel and pondering going to my high school reunion.

9. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Stupid question. Yes. Life happens even if we “ego-centric human beings” don’t hear/see/taste/or experience it.

10. What, in your opinion, is the greatest invention? (You know, since sliced bread…)

Greatest invention? I want to say the internet and apple and google. But, I don’t think that I should say those things. So, I will continue to ponder the greatest invention and maybe get back to you later.
