I admit...I am one to fill these surveys out on an every-day-basis. It's just something my friends and I do to keep in touch, and share a laugh or two throughout the workday. This one however is a little different so I hope you enjoy my answers and start tagging your friends so you can enjoy theirs too! I look forward to reading yours if/when you answer these 8 "simple" questions...

PS...You will soon learn that it is very hard for me to pick "just one" on some of these categories...

1.  Who is your favorite musical artist?

Well of course I'm going to say my fiancè, Ken Hill, on this one. I am his number 1 fan....awwwww..... He is a very talented musician and has a way of touching you with his music. He plays guitar on a regular basis, and we joke that his mistress is Leslie (His Les Paul Guitar). He is always playing...it's what he loves. Not only does he play guitar, but he's pretty good at drums and he even has a good voice! I'll tell you what...there is just something about those musicians!

I also have another close friend, Brian Van Meter, who is a musician, and his music has been a long time coming. He was born with music in his veins, and I knew it was only a matter of time before the world would fall in love with his music and lyrics. He is a hard worker and very dedicated. This past month his music was played for the first time on a TV show! Mind you it was a 30 second clip of sound, but it was a moment to be written down. If you like to hear new music please take a glance at his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/brianvanmeter and leave him a comment.  Let him know that I sent you :)

I'm also a big country fan and you can't ask me my favorite...there are just too many of them! I blame it on my best friend, Tabitha, and all the fun times we have at country concerts. My next one will be in August and it will be KENNY CHESNEY!!!! So excited!

2.  Who is your favorite artist?

Now this question I can answer with just one... Vincent Van Gogh. Two of my favorite paintings of his are of course The Starry Night and Cafe Terrace at Night. I have a thing for stars, so when I first saw his painting The Starry Night I was hooked!  

         


3.  Who is your favorite blogger? 

I don't have a favorite blogger....yet. I'm still fairly new to ActiveRain and haven't really perused everyone's pages like I want to. I will keep this question for a future blog where I will be able to answer better!!

4.  If you could meet anyone (dead or alive) who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them? 

I guess it doesn't really count, since I know them, but I would give anything to have just a few more moments with my mom. Especially at this time of my life, planning a wedding, beginning a new chapter of my life. Nothing would help me more than to have a hug from my mom, lay my head in her lap and have her play with my hair. Most comfortable feeling in the world to me! My mom passed away when I was eight years old so there's still so much I would like to learn about her. So that's my pick. I would love to have another day with my momma.

5.  What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. When I was four I learned more in depth about my mom's sickness. She was a Type I diabetic. I told her I was going to go into the medical field to help cure her. At the age of six I learned how to give insulin shots. I was taught with oranges and raw meat. Unfortunately the day we lost her was the day my phobia for hospitals came about. I can't step foot in a hospital without thinking about my mom. She spent way too much time in hospitals. To this day I've always had nursing in the back of my mind but I know I can't do it. I will get too emotionally attached to patients. My best friend is a nurse and I have the highest respect and admiration for her. Even though she enjoys telling me the gross stories, usually while we are eating at Chili's having a glass of wine and our molten cake, she tells me the happy endings, and the sad endings too. I don't know how she does it, but I know her patients are in good hands!

6.  What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know? 

Because I love this movie so much I must quote Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" Your foot is the same length as your wrist to your elbow. Go ahead you know you want to see if I'm right...I'm not ashamed I did it when I first saw the movie...lol

7.  If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why? 

I would like to see what it was like growing up when my grandmom was a kid. Or even when my dad was a kid. I hear so many interesting stories that I would love to see it in person. My dad would describe all the games he used to play. Or all the tricks he used to play on his six sisters. Yes I said six... he was the baby of seven kids. Even though he was the youngest, he tormented his sisters all the time! I want to go back to that time and see them get him back...haha! You know they had to play dress up with him when he was too young to protest! That image would be priceless!!!

8.  What is the most interesting job you have held? 

I've had a lot of jobs, but my current one as a title agent is probably the most interesting. I love going to work and facing new challenges. This job definitely gives you a sense of accomplishment. It makes you want to learn more and more.

So now I have to pick 8 people...like I said I am new to ActiveRain so I don't have many "friends" on here, but I am going to peruse some pages and see who I think will one) be my friend and two) enjoy this little questionnaire... Hope everyone has a great day!!
