Got tagged by Julianna

State three for each of the following:

Favorite food you eat till you puke and don't mind eating it again and again and puke it all over again:



  1. Peanut butter M and Ms
  2. Double Stuff Oreos
  3. Pepitos (these are a Spanish pasty-sorta like a doughnut/elcair, I like mine with custard in the centre and chocolate on top) !Me encantan los pepitos!

Favorite stores to shop till you drop (and might never fit in their clothing, but you buy their stuff anyways, because you are in denial):

  1. Honestly, I hate shopping!
Favorite shows that you quote like madness and will totally attend a convention if ever existed:


  1. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
  2. Reno 911
  3. Southpark-CHANGED MY MIND: "Most Haunted" on the Travel Channel. Drives my spouse nuts.

Favorite movies that you just never get tired of:



  1. The Sound of Music
  2. Out of Africa
  3. Pride and Prejudice (original BBC version with Colin Firth-not this crappy new one)

Things you wish to do before you die:



  1. Volunteer loads more of my time to those in the world that are in the greatest need. Africa calls me.
  2. See as much of the world as possible; Not as a tourist, but as a resident.
  3. Live life without financial concerns.


Places you want to go before you die (I need more than 3 lines):

  1. India
  2. Spain (again)
  3. Africa


Things you fear the most:

  1. A world war
  2. Dishonesty and deceit
  3. Divorce

Things that make you happy:

  1. Wonderful friends
  2. The excitement of knowing a new culture, a new society, a new language
  3. Fabulous food (see my list of things I wish to excel at #2)


Things that you wish to excel in:

  1. Music (piano, perhaps the guitar, and maybe some voice lessons, too)
  2. Weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle
  3. The education of others

You feel strongest about:

  1. Politics and the future of this country
  2. The need to study and educate oneself about the world today, and not relying upon CNN or Fox News to tell you how to think
  3. The further dumbification of American children by not teaching them more about what lies beyond these borders (this is not only a teacher's obligation, by the way)

Your favorite quote:
This is a tough one...can I put two?

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson



Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
Maya Angelou

There's another fabulous from from Bill Bryson, but I can't find it.
