20 Questions
What is your middle name? Sloan. I used to hate it because I dated a guy in high school with the last name Sloan and everyone made fun of me and called me Megan Sloan-Sloan. Looking back, I’m not sure why that was so funny. Or humiliating.
Do you really think going to Space Camp was cool? No, obviously. I was cool way before Space Camp, which just enhanced my cool ratio by a zillion points.
Do you have any strange habits? I’m a chronic hair twirler, which is a trait I’ve unfortunately passed on to my daughter. I have these weird hairs at the base of my neck that are all frayed and extra curly because of this. It’s not very attractive. Although I had a boyfriend my freshman year of high school that thought it was cute. He may have been the only one though.
Where were you born? Manhattan, Kansas. Not to be confused with Manhattan, New York. Because they are easily confused. Riiiight.
What’s your natural hair color? Blond. Although I dyed it red for a few years and now my husband’s entire family thinks I’m lying when I say I’m a natural blond. How else could I explain all of these?
What’s your favorite sport to watch? I like football, because it makes my husband happy and when he’s happy I can drink large amounts of alcohol without restraint. When he’s unhappy, the drunk, blond girl is not his favorite person. Can’t imagine why.
What’s your favorite alcoholic drink? Red wine or cheap beer. Wait, I’m trying to sound bad ass….I meant bourbon.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Ben & Jerry’s One Sweet Whirled….gaaahhhhhh, drooool. RIP.
Have you ever been on a ship? No, I’m scared of big boats. I read a book on the Titanic in second grade and was forever scarred. Why my teacher gave me a visually graphic book on the sinking of the Titanic, I’ll never know.
What kind of camera do you use? A Canon Digital Rebel XT. I also use lots and lots of Photoshop.
Do you really think you’re a good photographer? No, that’s why I use lots and lots of Photoshop. But I’m working on it.
What is your bedtime? I try to be in bed by 10 p.m., but I have RLS, so I’m never asleep until around 1 a.m. Which makes getting up at 4:45 a.m. a freaking HOOT!
What’s your favorite TV show? Dexter is the greatest show on television. Amen.
Do you have any tatoos? Yes, I have one on my back. It’s a fairy. It’s huge. And no, it doesn’t mean anything. I was young and it was pretty. And I was blond.
Do you have any pets? I used to have a dog named Cali, and now I have a Rottweiler named Professor Molly McGoo, Ph.D. She’s extremely ferocious.
You complain about your husband a lot. Do you have issues? I know, and yes, yes I do. But I hate picking up pants off the dining room floor every day! And I’m thisclose to throwing him out for leaving Lucy’s sippy cup out during the day, causing me to come home from a long-ass work day to take care of her by myself and clean up lumpy, rotten milk! See, no issues!
What was your favorite place in Italy? Cinque Terre. Holy crap, it’s beautiful there. Someday I will open a seaside umbrella rental place in Monterosso. And I will surely prosper there. They love dumb blonds.
Why did you name your daughter Lucy? She’s named after my husband’s mother. Her full name is Lucinda Sloan. Which my mother kept saying sounded Mexican. Or like a female version of the devil. But I think she’s over it.
You’re way too young to have kids! Are you white trash or something? Maybe. Hold on. My kids are running around the trailer park naked and my husband will be home with his rig soon. Oh no, someone stole my confederate flag!
Do you really have a crush on Zac Efron? Because he’s like, 16 years old. I know, but he’s beautiful. And he can sing. I also have unhealthy crushes on the male leads in several Mandy Moore movies. Like this guy. And this one. Have I mentioned I have issues?
Edited to add: OK, the Zac Efron thing is over. He wears too much makeup and man-pris, so I had to drop him. If you want to see my newly updated, and much more representative, list, click here. Now back to your regularly scheduling blogging.
