Jar Question:
If you could be on any TV game show past or present, what would it be?
Wheel of Fortune. Without a doubt. I watch that show all the time, and I usually do pretty well. The money that I could potentially win wouldn't hurt either. :-)

Piercings and Tattoos
Jar Question:
Do you or did you have any piercings or tattoos? Describe them.
I have no tattoos - although I've wanted one... for awhile now. If I ever do get the courage up to actually get a tattoo, I want it to be a drawing my Mom did. It's more like a doodle. But if you know anyone with MS, you know that they shake sometimes. Their muscles contract, and they don't often have control of their limbs. But my Mom did this "doodle" as she likes to call it after she was diagnosed with MS. I don't know why, but it's pretty special to me, and it would make an AMAZING tattoo.
As far as piercings go...
I've had my ears both pierced three times, one right after another, in my ear lobe. The only other thing I've ever had pierced is my belly button. I thought it was a great idea when I was 18, and MUCH skinnier, but the guy pierced it crooked and it never healed. After 2.5 years of it, I finally took it out.

Childhood Memories - Fashion
Jar Question:
Describe how people dressed when you were a child.
Hmmm - things I remember about "fashion" from being a child...
Girls who tied their shirts to the side using pony tail holders...
M C Hammer Pants...
Mall bangs...
Those shirts that changed colors based on your body heat or something...
Acid washed jeans...
Doc Marten's...
SLAP BRACELETS!
Jelly shoes...
What in the hell were we thinking?!

Sounds
Jar Question:
In your opinion, what is the most annoying sounds? Scary? Comforting?
Let's see - most sounds don't really annoy me, but that's only because I can usually tune them out, turn on the radio, or walk away. I think the MOST annoying sound to me is by far nails on a chalkboard. I get chills just thinking about it. Or, you know the way that chalk scratches a chalkboard, and it makes a shrill noise?! Yeah - ANNOYING! Heck, kids these days probably have never seen a chalkboard in their classroom.
Scary?! That one is a lot tougher for me to answer. I guess squealing tires... on a vehicle that's coming up behind me... fast. Or a gun shot from an unknown source. Anything that could possible mean the end of my life. While I'm not scared to die - I'm not ready to die either.
Comforting?! The sound of rain... laughter... my Mom's voice... Marcus (most of the time)... and my friends. Knowing that I have people in my life that I can count on, and hearing their voices when I need them the most.

Celebrity Crush
Jar Question:
What celebrity did you have a crush on when you were young?
When I was young - the requisite crushes included Jonathan Taylor Thomas, one of the guys from New Kids on the Block, or Devon Sawa. Remember those guys?! I know I was no different from any of the rest of the girls my age. I had a poster in my room of all of the above. I even have a NKOTB sleeping bag.
Oh, to be young again...

Favorite Subject
Jar Question:
What was your favorite subject in school?
I'm fairly certain this will be the EASIEST question in this entire jar! :o) My favorite subject always has been, and probably always will be, English. Anything to do with English - from reading, to writing, to grammar. I absolutely, without a doubt, LOVE it all.
From an early age, I was a good reader, and I think that translated into so much more for me. I can remember being sent to the principal's office on the first day of 1st grade because I could read at a level much more advanced than that of my peers. I can also remember being held indoors during recess to help tutor those kids that were struggling with reading. Although I don't really remember it now, I'm not sure I would have minded. I've never been the "outdoor" type and I really dislike any sort of organized team sports... playing them, that is.
Even now - I read an average of 75 to 100 books a year. And while that may not seem like a lot to some people, it is when you add in a full time job and a full time graduate course load in school. But I love it. It's what helps me unwind after a grueling day at work, or helps calm my mind so that I can eventually go to sleep. I've also been known to start a book and stay up until 4:00 am reading it. :-)
