Best Friend Tag - That Poor Squirrel Edition

OK! So lots of quizes lately, I know, but it's a fun way to get to know Tanya and I. And you get to see what terrible friends we are to one another. For instance, in this recent post I realized I had no idea who Liz Merriweather is, nor why Tanya would want to be her. It totally makes sense, of course. I'm just an idiot. THAT'S ALL *hearty laugh* Tanya on the other hand did extremely well on her half of the best-friends-newlywed-game and I'm sure that she would be given a new 2002 Cadillac as a prize or something. Very well. I am a terrible friend, that's all. Tanya is great.

So here is one more quiz to prove how little I know about my best friend whom I love and adore and think the world of (please still talk to me):

  1. How/When did you meet? The year: 1972. The place: A board room. Seven people in wheelchairs sit at a circular conference table with an unlabeled pop can in front of them. They are told to take a sip and to describe the effects the soda has on their tastebuds. Miraculously, they all get up. Many a cured person tweeted in joy. Thus, 7UP had a name. (I don't know probably at Oma's house for family dinner when we were both still in onesies)

  2. What is your favorite memory of them? I still think fondly of both stories that Tanya mentioned last week. I'm trying to come up with another one. This is so damn hard. Because I have excellent memories of a lot of times and they all jumble. Like Christmas Eves? Oh and the Wonderland Trips. Playing Mary Kate and Ashley in the basement, or James Bond with Kris and Sandy. Days at the Richmond house where we would just watch a season of Greys and chat. Halloweens. Me teaching her how to make Ginger cookies and then her freaking out that your hands have to go into eggs. Russell Fair weekends with the girls. Burgers. Pizza nights. That time we went to see that Mel Gibson movie and the theatre was empty except us. Gym days. Every day. Seriously. I talk to her sometimes and it just makes my day better because we're hilarious. If I had to choose one, it would probably be the experience of writing Fierce for Sandy. It was a labor of love and sugar. We weren't even Christmas shopping yet because it was still early, but we were wandering around the mall and went into Home Sense and there stood this ridiculous horse. Anyways, Tanya ended up going back for it because we came up with this nonsensical back story which ended up being told in a book. We sat in my Glebe apartment until 4am one time just laughing our asses off about the possibilities of TAaalKIngg LiiiiiiikE tHIs in A TeEEXT. It perfectly demonstrates how freaking nuts we are when we are together.

  3. Describe her in one word: myperson fits perfectly. I could also describe her as Thatshortonewhoiscreativeasalleff

  4. What is Tanya's dream job? She'd be an emmy winning sitcom writter of a hilarious comedy that everyone loved. They'd be the new Frasier of award nights.

  5. What is her favourite makeup brand? ohhhh jeeze. Ok well I know that she likes Benefit when we creep around Sephora . Otherwise Maybelline? I know she likes their mascaras (because they are great)

  6. What annoys me about her? Her complaining about me being late lol. I do not have a car and the OC transpo is not my friend. I'm either 20 minutes early or 20 minutes late. All the time. Everytime. If anything, I'm annoyed by my own place of residence because it's never convienent for her and I swear to god it's the most frustrating thing trying to park downtown.

  7. If you could go anywhere in the world together where would you go? K well Tanya's champagne birthday = HP world for sure. I've been trying to find a good deal on a hotel for the past two weeks and I think Christmas = good deals? No? Suggestions anyone? OTHERWISE anywhere. Tanya would make anywhere fun. I think mostly I want to go to England with her and show her all the pretty things and the hills and stuff. She'd like it there.

  8. Favourite inside joke? Clicked like a South African. That poor squirrel. Dancing Pope. T-Pain. Cool Rider - so many to choose from.

  9. Who takes longer to get ready? The hair puts it past the mark. The answer is Tanya. I take way longer in dressing rooms because I make outfits, but I generally plan what I'm going to wear while I'm trying to sleep the night before. 15 minutes out of the shower and I'm good to go.

  10. Heels or Flats? Predominantly flats, but I love all of the heels she owns. She picks good shoes.

  11. Pants or dresses? Generally black pants but she looks so adorable in dresses that I can't even...

  12. Favourite animal? Monkeys because they're smart. She's an animal person... She has a lot of elephant stuff too because elephants are great and thennn also dogs because girl's best friend

  13. If her house was burning down what would she save? I laughed so hard at the truth in Tanya's answer. As long as her dogs were out, I think she'd save her photos? Is that a thing that is possible? She'd just grab all the photos.

  14. Comedy, Horror or Chick Flick? Comedy or chick flick woohoo

  15. Favourite movie? uuuuuuuhhhhmmmmm oh god. Grease 2. I'm sticking with that.

  16. Favourite TV Show? FRIENDS or How I Met Your Mother or New Girl.  Also Gilmore girls and greys and now she seems to be addicted to SHIELD too. Wide range.


 

Et voila! Complete! :D

Caps Lock Makes it REAL

HOORAY! GAME SHOW!

Crystal! You did pretty good! Also because they are the hardest questions ever because I am an asshole like that. I will totally try to do yours and then hate myself for sucking at it. First to score yours!

  1. Chandler-> You are right! I said Chandler because he is the sarcastic one who is a mess 99% of the time.

  2. BooBoo? –You had it in your secondary answers. I picked Bo because he is the king of all dogs. I did consider both Fez and BooBoo but Bo was just the tops. 

  3. Jennifer Lawrence?--She was my original choice, but then in my head I was all "Oh god I don't want to mess up her career, I can't act as good as her" So instead I went with someone (this is the one I changed my answer in my notebook long before she posted this) who I guess may not be considered a celebrity so thats not fair. Liz Meriweather - she is the genius behind New Girl. I would love to be in the writers room for that show. Like super crazy much.

  4. Mario Party? I should have picked Mario Party, you see I went for depth of the game. If I had to play the same game forever I don't know if MP would satisfy all my needs. It probably would... althoguh my hand may end up being all gross and blistered. I picked Lego HP but if I could make it both games so years 1-7. That way its an enormous game with lots of fun things to do. So I guess I cheated again. I Ginger Blazerfield didn't say no cheating.

  5. A plane ticket to HP World? Oh man this was close! I did have plane ticket but I went a bit farther and went to europe.

  6. Elephant? I totally had elephant. I had puppy sized elephant to be specific *nerdfighterssign* and then I stupidly said a small sized chimp. But now I am thinking even if the chimp stayed small it would still age and once a chimp is like 2 years old they get highly agressive. So I want to go back to puppy sized elephant because how awesome would that be.

  7. You don't have to know everything? Super close! I said I would go back to high school and tell myself not to stop writing because I hated my writing teacher. Also I think I would have pushed it a lot more then not gone for photography and maybe taken writing courses instead.

  8. Eating and Procrastinating/mess? I would like to stop both of these but instead I went for a more weird thing of picking at my nails 

  9. Anxiety? That would have been a smarter answer then what I said. This is where I put that I wish I weren't so messy.

  10. Ability to be on time? For sure 100% this.


So you got 2 absolutely correct, and then 4 basically so right that I will give them to you, and four that were still right but not as I answered. Tricky game though !

Now I shall answer back about you. I will get them all the twenty kinds of wrong.

  1. If Crystal was a character from FRIENDS, who would she be? – This is tricky. She does like museums like Ross... and clothes like Rachel... but shes funny like Chandler. Hmm. I think I would put it as a mix of all three? You probably would cheat like me on this and use tricky answers. 

  2. If Crystal could bring back any pet from the dead and have it live for the rest of her life as a healthy age (not old and broken) which past pet would she bring back? – Simba. Because Simba rocks.

  3. Which celebrity would Crystal trade lives with for one year?-- I might think she may pick Jennifer Lawrence. Or maybe whoever Henry Cavill is dating right now.

  4. If Crystal was told she could only play one video game for the rest of her life, which would she pick (any system)? — Mario Party because she is smarter than me.

  5. If Crystal won $5000 and was forced to buy something instead of paying bills, what would she buy? — She might either take a trip or just flee to BC and buy a dog. Or she might just buy all the shoes. lol.

  6. If Crystal could have one wild animal as a pet (size can be modified to better fit in a house) what would she get? — Puppy sized Elephant? Shes been a nerd fighter since 2007 it seems appropriate.

  7. If Tanya could go back in time and tell herself one thing, what age would she go to and what would she tell herself? – She might go back and say to stay at her job at the museum she worked at in high school. Because that's more experience and might help her now. Or maybe she would talk to her high school self and just say - its okay to not know whats going on but it'll be okay one day, also, your BFF Tanya just gets EVEN MORE AWESOME every year so at least you have that to look forward to. (amiright?)

  8. What irritating habit does Crystal have that she wants to stop? — Procrastinating? That or being late. they kind of fit together. I am noticing now that this question is basically the same as the next question

  9. If Tanya could change one non-physical-appearancey thing about herself, what would she change? — Anxiety. - same answer for you my dear

  10. If Crystal could change one thing about Tanya, what would she change? — She would probably change me into a tortoise or something. No I am just kidding obviously. She would probably ... hmm. She might make me perhaps smarter/more intellectual so I could have more interesting opinions on the things she likes? Or she might just make me less crazy so I would pester her about stupid things less.


Sooo.. How did I do?!

Challenge: Game show hosts are all secretly robots

You TOTALLY thought that I would forget, didn't you?

Well, ha. I did. And now it's quarter to midnight and I'm rushing to get this done because CAPS LOCK means business.

Below you will find my answers to the best-friend newlywed game hosted by our own fictitious Ginger Blazerfield *wink* (TM).  I left these for a really long time, so I don't know if Tanya has changed her answers or if she even remembers that I need to do this or not. Actually that is a lie. I know Tanya has changed her answers, as she told me she wanted to literally 20 minutes after she posted the original questions. So to wrap up: quick post. Superhero marriage proposal on Friday (I'm counting this as my Wednesday post) and then everything will be hunky dory.

 

  1. If Tanya was a character from FRIENDS, who would she be? -- This is a trick question because Tanya has traits from all the characters. But if I went with my knee-jerk reaction, it would be Chandler.

  2. If Tanya could bring back any pet from the dead and have it live for the rest of her life as a healthy age (not old and broken) which past pet would she bring back? --Uhm crap. Dude, this is both horrifying and difficult. BooBoo the boxer? I know he wasn't your pet per se, but you're an animal person and you freaking love everything to death. Bo, Fez, Dusty, Aspen, Squee, Magoo, etc. Hard to choose one. You're mean.

  3. Which celebrity would Tanya trade lives with for one year?--Jennifer Lawrence. (runners up: whoever is dating Chris Evans/Pine right now)

  4. If Tanya was told she could only play one video game for the rest of her life, which would she pick (any system)? -- I should hope that she would choose Mario Party because of our history at being awesome at Mario Party. (runners up: Lego Batman 2 for the talking parts and the less annoying camera angles, Lego Harry Potter and Katamari)

  5. If Tanya won $5000 and was forced to buy something instead of paying bills, what would she buy? -- A plane ticket and an all inclusive stay at Harry Potter World? (runners up: world peace, a bulldog, aaannnd lots of roots sweatpants because they're cozy as all eff. I'm wearing roots sweatpants right now)

  6. If Tanya could have one wild animal as a pet (size can be modified to better fit in a house) what would she get? -- Elephant. A teeny tiny elephant. (runners up: monkey, house hippo, fierce)

  7. If Tanya could go back in time and tell herself one thing, what age would she go to and what would she tell herself? -- Probably to her back at the end of grade twelve to tell herself that she doesn't have to have it all together. Or the same thing during her first year of college. I remember sitting with her at her kitchen table and she had two different programs in mind and we kind of pro/con'd them for a while and I think it was just so much pressure to choose *something* that she ended up hating what she did choose for a while. I'm glad she started kind of taking pictures again because she's hella talented. Read my letter of reference if you don't believe me. (runner up: go back to when she was like 7 and tell young Tanya to NOT run in front of the mattress *just yet* in order to avoid the screw driver Kris was throwing at her eye)

  8. What irritating habit does Tanya have that she wants to stop? -- lol the only one I can think of is eating KD. But it's so delicious. (runners up: piling stuff in her office and leaving it there forever and not writing when she means to ie: procrastinating)

  9. If Tanya could change one non-physical-appearancey thing about herself, what would she change? -- Anxiety.

  10. If Tanya could change one thing about Crystal, what would she change? -- Absolutely nothing because she's perfect. Honestly? Ability to be on time for sure. I suck at that. Or my penchant for calling everyone Dude.


 

TANYA'S CHALLENGE: Tell me my score AND answer the same questions for me. My answers have been written down in my agenda and I am stoked to see what you think.

 

DFTBA!

Crystal

 

A Letter Of Recommendation

To whom it may concern,

I have known Tanya R. for 23 years and can attest to her ability to outperform any candidate you may have considered for this position. I am writing to offer my highest recommendation to Ms. R, a cherished friend and trusted advisor. She would be well suited for the position of “Highest Grossing Fiction Writer Ever”, as demonstrated by her past achievements, as well as her personal aspirations.

Tanya’s creative nature is arguably amongst the finest in the world. Her ability to circumvent expectation and pursue unusually twisted plots allows her to fully explore all expects of her own imagination. She gains inspiration from self reflection and occurrences in her own life which she subsequently transforms into a story of epic proportions. People of all ages are oftentimes in awe of her stories; they are thrilling and present such inherently human characterizations that each one proves hard to put down. She cares about each person she fabricates which is demonstrated through her background knowledge for even the most tertiary character in her story. This is also a testament to her organizational skills. Suffice to say, she’s got them.

Her creativity has been present throughout her life, though released through a variety of outlets, such as stenciling, dancing, painting, drawing, playing music and paper crafts. These artistic vehicles have effectively produced a well rounded yet freethinking adult. Tanya is able to communicate through these each of these art forms in a playful manner, though at the same time, she elicits a deeper emotion. Not to sound too overwrought, Tanya s able to visualize her own story so thoroughly that she could create an entire world in a matter of minutes if she so chose.

Tanya’s own trials have offered a lot to her creativity as well. Though she is generally introverted, she comes alive when talking about writing and art. She considers each aspect of criticism and is extremely self aware of her writing style. During the time I’ve known her, Tanya continues to develop and improve in her artistic endeavors. Her own experiences translate beautifully into a world of fantasy and her imagination does not often seem hyperbolic. Until you meet the talking horses, that is. Compared to other young writers her age, she is a hard worker and understands the challenges of her professional field. Despite her incredibly busy schedule, Tanya continues to remember her life goals. She deserves success more than anyone I’ve ever met.

Her writing has always been entertaining and witty, as she is in life. She is caring and does not easily judge. She helps others make improvements in their own lives and her work ethic is undeniably strong. I could go on and on about her qualifications for this position, but I would then have to write a novel myself. I have no doubts that her abilities and determination will continue to grow. I am happy to advocate for Ms. R and I hope that this letter helped you to make an informed decision to accept her for this position.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Crystal P




 

You guys - I suck. I know that. I've been all over the place lately and way too busy to write. Actually, the only thing I have writen lately is a recommendation letter for myself on behalf of an old prof... I'm waiting for her to proofread it, guys, I'm not just going to put words into someones mouth. How dare you and your implications! Anyways... I got Tanya to read over my letter about how great I was so that I didn't sound way too over the top and then she said: "Uhh that letter is fricken amazing... I want you to write me daily letters so I feel competant." And it made me sad because she is MORE than competant, am I right, folks? So that's how this happened. And it's just a first draft! Too many commas and not enough good stuff. Needs to be more flow. I don't know.

And so to finish this off: things are happening and there's lots of ... stuff and things. My life is busy and I might be doing more stuff and things soon so I can't promise that I'm going to be on here regularly. It's totally fine because Tanya's the better one anyways. That's all I really want to say. BUT I WILL DO THE BEST FRIEND GAME SHOW CHALLENGE TONIGHT. Capslock makes it real.

<3 xx

Best Friend Tag

Good Afternoon folks!

Today is Sunday the somethingth and I have just cleaned my office. I not only cleaned off my desk but I took out my broken filing cabinet and also cleaned my bookshelves and rearranged them to better display dorky things. You see the key to having me clean is to trap me in my house without the ability to leave. The Bell people are supposed to swing by and take care of my phone line but I suspect they wont be here until 4:55pm and then will tell me they want to charge me $300 to fix it. Which I don't want. That would suck all the things.

So what is going on? Nothing really.. I recently watched a YouTube video that went through "The Best Friend Tag" and decided that I would do that as a challenge to myself. Very similar to the newly wed game I made for Crystal except that I don't have to think up any more questions.

SO LET'S DO THIS! All the answers are about Crystal and I didn't think of them so if they aren't as super awesome as the questions I thought up, its not my fault. You will just have to wait patiently until Crystal has a chance to write her responses.

  1. How/When did you meet? No idea, I assume some time after she was birthed when I was 1.5 I would think we would have been placed near each other.

  2. What is your favorite memory of them? So many to choose from. I can't really pick a favorite, but way up there was the time that Crystal, myself and our friend Adrian were at her house playing the Sims. I had just passed my G1 (in Ontario they make you take 10000 tests before you are allowed to drive) and then it was also near Christmas. We were in Crystal's room on her computer when she decided that she had waited long enough and she wanted to snoop in the bag of presents in her parents room. Me, loving Christmas and surprises wrestled her to the ground and we continued fighting while Adrian sat at the computer completely ignoring our screams for help as he called out "How do I make them move?" (referring to the characters in the game). It was great. Also more recently I would say True American and Comicon. Getting to meet Burt Ward with my best friend by my side keeping me from imploding was the best ever.

  3. Describe her in one word: myperson. It counts as as one if there are no spaces.

  4. What is Crystal's dream job? She would work in a museum in England of Chicago probably. She would be the super fancy marketing person who made museums more popular

  5. What is her favourite makeup brand? I think she likes stuff from sephora but I really don't know much about makeup to know brands. I am sure her favourite is something super fancy adn expensive that neither of us could afford just look at from a safe distance.

  6. What annoys me about her? I dislike when she is late. But she always feels bad so then I feel bad about being annoyed so its very bad all around.

  7. If you could go anywhere in the world together where would you go? Well other than our awesome adventure we will do next year to mother F*!#$% Harry Potter World, I really want to do like a 2-3 week adventure to Europe. I want to go to England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, Holland. So we might need more then 2 weeks. But it has to happen.

  8. Favourite inside joke? Clicked like a South African.

  9. Who takes longer to get ready? Umm... I would say me. My hair is essentially an entire being on its own so if we were going to go somewhere and actually try to look nice I take longer. I think if its just like, every day stuff, judging by the time she takes in trying on clothes, it would probably be her. Only because she actually puts effort into outfits and stuff. I just grab one super hero shirt and black pants and pretend I am an adult.

  10. Heels or Flats? I think she wears flats more but she can walk better in heels then me by far.

  11. Pants or dresses? Depends on the season. She looks super good in dresses and has several. But we live in Canada and need to be realistic. Although Tights are a magical thing. I am learning from Crystal and started wearing dresses all the time because of the new job, and now I see why she does it. Very comfy once you get used to it.

  12. Favourite animal? I am going to go with dogs because she really wants one.

  13. If her house was burning down what would she save? Honestly she would probably have to save Kris because he sleeps through everything and wouldn't wake up

  14. Comedy, Horror or Chick Flick? I think depending on the day she could watch any of these things. Usually together we watch comedy or chick flick because my crazies can't handle horror.

  15. Favourite movie? Maybe Singing in the Rain, but I am not 100% sure :S

  16. Favourite TV Show? Maybe West Wing or Gilmore Girls. She also likes New Girl. I don't know her absolute favoruite thoguh, I think she also watches game of thrones but I am not super sure. Sorry Crystal, we just talked about this I just forget :(


Anyways, my phone is now fixed! Not that anyone ever calls my home phone to talk to me, but it does mean I can use it sometimes to call companies that I don't want to waste my minutes on.

I also noticed there are no pictures of me on this blog that weren't drawn, not that this will change but here is a picture I found while cleaning of Crystal and I probably 19-20 years ago! Please not the food on my face (the one on the right) and the snot on Crystal's nose (obviously the one on the left)

Grampie is now Sean Connery

You know that annoying moment when you write half a post and then your computer shuts off without explanation? Stupid technology.

ANYWAYS STARTING OVER!

Not too long ago now I was given the challenge to write a movie very loosely based on my life. I did. I also had to cast the people who would play my friends, family and myself. I did that also. I only had one complaint on casting. (Granted not all of them read this). So now, Grampie will be played by Sean Connery. We wil think of a new origin story of the grandparents relationship because I don't think we can play off Sean's lovely accent as being Canadian.

So I have been mostly absent for a while. That is because I have been both extremely busy and even more lazy. I have been running around like a crazy working on some stuff that I don't feel like explaining right now because it still doesn't sound like a real thing that can happen to someone like me. Also because I don't know how to process it because its too much for someone with my brain capacity. But I will say its going well and so far it is fun enough!

I have not been writing though and that bothers me. I haven't really had the time but I need to make it because writing is the most important thing short of making sure the animals eat because otherwise they die and then thats no good for anyone.

But you know what, Crystal owes me a punishment. I missed Thursday without even an attempt to get a challenge. So Crystal: you get to think up a punishment for my untimelyness. I know you are crazy busy and hardly have time to sleep but whenever you get the chance. I think after this one maybe we will establish a temporary hold on challenges until your schedule calms down a bit so you can actually participate. Its not as much fun to do challenges if I don't get to read answers every Monday. Still though, I really want to see if you can get the answers to the ones from before so whenever you feel like doing them do it!

What else is happening...... uuuhhhm. I have a hilarious video but I don't think I am allowed to put it online because Dave will get super upset. Essentially he is outrun by the pug. and then he falls. Classic.

Oh sweet jesus my computer shut down AGAIN. I apparently cant move the chair because it will hit the desk and shut the computer down some how. Luckily this time it seems to have save its all. I think I will quite while I am ahead and run away.

Leave a comment on what you want me to talk about until Crystal comes back!

“I have spilt my latte on my cardigan”

Notes for Tanya: This is a thing I wrote last week at work. Sorry it's so long. I will do my superhero boyfriends and gameshow challenge when I can, but I work tonight too. I feel terrible because I can't keep up to your schedule. I've only got like 20 hours at Retailland this week so it should lend more time to posting. One or the other will be posted tonight. If you want two challenges this week to make up for your lack of challenge last week, let me know. Anyways... here's the post.




The title above is an actual text that I sent to Tanya last Monday afternoon.

Context: I was extremely excited to get a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (The first of the year! Yum!), and was on my way back to the office when I decided to hold onto to the top of my coffee cup with my teeth as I opened the door. The rest is pretty self explanatory. Don’t ask why I did this. I completely disregarded all safety precautions that are bolded on the bottom of each Starbucks take-away coffee cup. I feel dumb even talking about it. My cardigan will never be the same.

 

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400"] NB: It is not advised to pumpkin spice cardigans.[/caption]

 

Resolution: I will never try to hold a coffee cup with my teeth ever again… or at least until next time I have to go through a door.

Challenge-less

Hi guys!

So its thursday, AKA - Tanya's challenge day. But you see I have no challenge. Crystal will still be posting of course but she works too much and too often and I keep making the mistake of making challenges that are too long and involved.

So note for Crystal: On the That's what she said challenge I would like to offer you the opportunity to only have to pick  5 out of the 10 questions that are there. Then I will just save the other 5 for a punishment or something. I forgot the challenge before what it was so I don't know if it can be lessened. But any answers are better than no answers!

So I don't really know what to do today... I guess I could self-challenge.... but I can barely think of challenges for Crystal let alone challenges for myself.

This weeks Challenge for Crystal is to complete her overdue challenges. If she completes them both by Monday I will wave the one punishment she should get from missing this monday. Sound fair to everyone?

Anyway, its late and I am exhausted from working all day so I am off to bed!

Goodnight and DFTBA!

Challenge #6: That's What She Said

Thinking up challenges is hard, especially when I have to think up punishments too. Jeepers.

Anyway, challenge the sixth time will be a two parter! Well I guess three including this.

So Part One: THE QUESTIONS!

Well, let's go back to pre-part one: THE EXPLANATION!

What we are going to do is a buddy version of the Newlywed Game. I am going to ask a few questions and Crystal will answer based on how she thinks I would answer about myself. Make sense? Does anything I say? Okay, further explanation needed, say I ask "I would describe my height as..." then Crystal would answer "Short" and I would then later reveal my answer as "Short" and then she gets a point. If she gets it wrong, no point. If she gets enough points then something will happen. I haven't decided what yet. And to make it very fair I will write down my answers as I make up the questions so that I don't change them based on her answers. And if you still don't trust me I can email them to Sandy so she can verify them as honest if need be.

So are we ready to question Crystal about her knowledge of me!? (PS: To be completely honest I would be so bad at this game if I had to answer the questions about anyone else, Crystal will probably kill it.)

First, lets introduce our host, Ginger Blazerfield!

gingerblazerfieldGinger, please begin.

Alright Tanya! Welcome to our new (not so original) game that we will call "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID"! Here are the questions for Crystal to answer based on how she believes Tanya would answer! Crystal should provide a small insight into her reasoning for the answers with each decision. Let's begin,

  1. If Tanya was a character from FRIENDS, who would she be?

  2. If Tanya could bring back any pet from the dead and have it live for the rest of her life as a healthy age (not old and broken) which past pet would she bring back?

  3. Which celebrity would Tanya trade lives with for one year?

  4. If Tanya was told she could only play one video game for the rest of her life, which would she pick (any system)?

  5. If Tanya won $5000 and was forced to buy something instead of paying bills, what would she buy?

  6. If Tanya could have one wild animal as a pet (size can be modified to better fit in a house) what would she get?

  7. If Tanya could go back in time and tell herself one thing, what age would she go to and what would she tell herself?

  8. What irritating habit does Tanya have that she wants to stop?

  9. If Tanya could change one non-physical-appearancey thing about herself, what would she change?

  10. If Tanya could change one thing about Crystal, what would she change?


Crystal, please answer all questions on Monday with your reasoning. Remember, answer the questions how you think Tanya would answer, not how you would answer. Tanya has asked me to remind you that you still owe us a challenge regarding the marriageability of a superhero. Until next time, I am Ginger Blazerfield and this was That's What She Said.

Thank you Ginger, that was great. Anyway, that is our new game. Feel free to play along in the comments! Although, don't answer for how you think I would answer because then you are giving hints to Crystal, you can take these questions and play yourself with a partner if you like! Good luck Crystal!
