Who Am I ??? Quiz

"Alert The Media! I finally did another post!"

First of all, I would like to say that I've been MIA on the blog because my computer was in really bad shape. It got to the place where it was taking an hour to boot up, 15-30 mintues to change screens, and "freezing up" everytime I tried to get on the internet. Long story short, it has been repaired and returned to me in perfect working order so, I'm going to try and make a come back here with something easy. This is just a meme that my hubby over at Keith's Space took a few days ago and passed on to me...

1. Were you named after anyone?

Kinda. My name is actually a derivative of my father's name and was given to me by my aunt. One day, my mother told me if she had named me, it would have been "Sylvanna". She told me that she always loved the name but, much to my surprise, she also said that the name actually belonged to a dog that was very special her as a child??? Needless to say, my father was having none of that (Thank God!) and I'm real glad that my aunt named me!

2. When was the last time you cried?

Last Sunday in church.

3. Do you like your handwriting?

Yes, I do! During my elementary school years, I was always very competitive when it came to penmanship. If I saw another child with handwriting that I admired, I tried to top it. Later on as a young adult, a previous boss told me that my signature should always make a "bold, psychological statement" so, I try to do just that every time I sign my name. I love it when people say to me, "You have beautiful handwriting. Did you go to Catholic school?" (I've always heard that good penmanship is a must in Catholic School.) I always respond with pride, "No... as a matter of fact, I went to public school!"

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?

Corned Beef.

5. Do you have any kids?

Yes... one daughter.

Again, chocolate... chocolate... chocolate!

14. What is the first thing you notice about people?

15. Red or pink?

22. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?

It's funny... when I was asked this question as a child, the answer was always red. As an adult, it would definitely be black. But, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not... I often times wonder if that means I've become "dark" (internally) as a person or just more conservative???

During the 80s, it was said that "the place to meet" was no longer clubs, like the 70's... it was the video store and that's exactly what happened to me. I met my hubby in a video store!

Footnote: I hope the answers to these questions gave you some insight into who I am and I tried to have a little fun in the process. Since I have absolutely no idea who my audience is at this point, if you are a blogger and actually made it through all of this, please consider yourself tagged. If you're interested, feel free to take the quiz yourself-LOL!
