WordPress was supposed to publish this one on Sunday but failed, for whatever reason. This is the second part of a 5000 question-long meme that I plan on completing… Some day. So from now on out, the weekends are for memes!

26. Who has done something today to show they care about you?
Sam brought up coffee so that I could drink it in bed and have some me-time, which i thought was very sweet.

27. Do you have a lot to learn?
Absolutely. I don’t even know what the fack I’m doing half the time. I’m hoping that feeling will eventually go away.

28. If you could learn how to do three things just by wishing and not by working what would they be?
– Learn how to reattach buttons (without needing a band-aid afterwards).
– Learn how to speak Italian.
– Learn how to parallel park without denting cars and murdering people.

29. Which do you remember the longest: what other people say, what other people do or how other people make you feel?
How they make me feel, without a doubt.

30. What are the key ingredients to having a good relationship?
Effort, Communication and Trust.

31. What 3 things do you want to do before you die?

– Killing someone else.
– Torturing someone else.
– Working for Sarah Palin.

33. Is there a cause you believe in more than any other cause?
No, not really. Every worthy cause should receive the same amount of attention. Unfortunately, we don’t have the time or money to support them all.

34. What does each decade make you think of:
There were like 12 of these, so I skipped over them. I’m sure you understand.

35. Which decade do you feel the most special connection to and why?
None in particular.

36. What is your favorite oldie/classic rock song?
(I can’t get no) Satisfaction.

37. What country do you live in and who is the leader of that country?
Right now, stink bugs are ruling us. Seriously, it’s been horrible.

If you could say any sentence to the current leader of your country what would it be?
Don’t let us down.

38. What’s your favorite TV channel to watch in the middle of the night?
Comedy Central.

39. What Disney villain are you the most like and why?
Ooh, villain? Not sure…

40. Have you ever been a girl scout/boy scout?
Hahahaha… No.

41. If you were traveling to another continent would you rather fly or take a boat?
Fly. Who has the time to take a boat?

42. Why is the sky blue during the day and black at night?
It’s not black, it’s dark blue.

43. What does your name mean?
My full name is a very weird version of Rhiannon (my mother thought making up her own version would be ‘cute’. It’s not), so… Derived from the old Celtic name Rigantona meaning “great queen”. In Welsh mythology Rhiannon was the goddess of fertility and the moon. This name is also borne by a princess in Welsh legends, the wife of Pwyll. As an English name, it became popular due to the Fleetwood Mac song ‘Rhiannon’ (1976). Thank you, Google.

44. Would you rather explore the deeps of the ocean or outer space?
Outer space. Have you ever seen fish that live in the deeps of the ocean? Seriously, they’re all monsters. *shiver*

What is the first word that comes to mind when you see the word:

Air: Breathe.

Meat: Bone.

Pink: Bubblegum.

Deserve: Peace.

White: Clean.

Elvis: Toilet (Oh, god. But it’s true!)

Magic: Sparkles.

Heart: Love.

Clash: Music.

Pulp: Fiction.

46. If you could meet any person in the world who is dead who would you want it to be?
Etta James. She’s dead now, right?

47. What if you could meet anyone who is alive?
Etta James, just in case she’s still very much alive.

48. Is there a movie that you love so much you could watch it everyday?
Yes, Pleasantville.

49. You are going to be stuck alone in an elevator for a week. What do you bring to do?
A week?! Jeez. Okay let me think… lots of books, my Ipod, laptop, phone and crossword puzzles.

50. Have you ever saved someone’s life or had your life saved?
The second one.

WordPress was supposed to publish this one on Saturday but failed, for whatever reason. This is the first part of a 5000 question-long meme that I plan on completing… Some day. So from now on out, the weekends are for memes!

1. Who are you?
My name is Rhye, and I’m a 24 year old wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend.

2. What are the 3 most important things everyone should know about you?
That, when I’m complaining about someone I love, and you start piling stuff on, I’ll still get mad. That I’ll give you my honest opinion if you ask for it, even if it’s something you probably don’t want to hear. And that I’ll probably pick up my phone at 3 in the morning, should you need me.

3. When you aren’t filling out 5,000 question surveys like this one what are you doing?
That depends on what day it is, if Sam’s off work, what the weather is like, etc. ‘Living life’ would be the short answer.

4. List your classes in school from the ones you like the most to the ones you like the least (or if you are out of school, think of the classes you did like and didn’t like at the time).
I loved English, French and Biology. Hated Algebra, Chem and Geography.

5. What is your biggest goal for this year?
Make Christmas fun for Cole and Sadie, so they’ll start to love it as much as I do.

6. Where do you want to be in 5 years?
If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that there’s honestly no use in looking that far ahead. We’ll see where we’ll end up!

7. What stage of life are you in right now?
I was blessed with a pretty huge family pretty much overnight, so the ‘young family’ stage would fit, even though most people assume I’ve been ‘doing’ this for a long time when they see me walking alongside a six-year-old.

8. Are you more child-like or childish?
Hopefully I’m more child-like. I really can’t stand childish people.

9. What is the last thing you said out loud?
‘Leave it.’ (to one of the dogs)

10. What song comes closest to how you feel about your life right now?
Light up the sky – Christina Aguilera (Lotus is finally here, hooray!)

11. Have you ever taken martial arts classes?
Not really, but I took self-defense classes which had a little bit of everything.

12. Does your life tend to get better or worse or does it just stay the same?
Better, for sure.

13. Does time really heal all wounds?
No, not if you don’t put any work in.

14. How do you handle a rainy day?
By finding little things to smile about. Or I try to, anyway.

15. Which is worse…losing your luggage or having to sort out tangled holiday lights?
Yea, here’s the thing – I buy new holiday lights almost every year. They’re much cheaper to replace than luggage, so for me, losing my luggage would be worse.

16. How is your relationship with your parents?
Honestly? Very strained.

Will you miss them when they are gone?
Yes, absolutely.

17. Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you?
That depends on what I’m doing. Usually I am, but when I’m reading a good book I zone right out.

18. What is the truest thing that you know?
The only approval you need is your own.

19. What did you want to be when you grew up?
This changed almost every other week.

20. Have you ever been given a second chance?
Haven’t we all?

21. Are you more of a giver or a taker?
A little bit of both.

22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart/mind?
I try to. Not to say I don’t analyze things to death first.

23. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?
A broken pelvis. Seriously, ouch.

24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you?
Losing people I love.

25. Who have you hugged today?
Sam, Cole, Sadie, Claire, Jane, Lucy and Lola (what? I’m a hugger!)
