Sunday Stealing: The Basically Obscure Meme-Part 2

21: Would you swear in front of your parents?
Never when I was a teenager, but as an adult, yes.

22: Which continents have you been on?
North America & Europe

23: Do you get motion sickness? Any horror stories?
I very occasionally get motion sickness if I'm in the back seat of a vehicle where I can't see out well. A few video games have given me motion sickness. No horror stories, thank goodness.

24: Why did you name your blog whatever you named your blog?
I love Duran Duran and I thought this particular lyric would be a clever blog name!

25: Would you wear a rainbow jacket? A neon yellow sweater? Checkered pants?
Rainbow jacket- no. Neon yellow sweater- I did in the 80's, when it was cool. Checkered pants- only with some good reason.

This reminds me of my favorite jacket of my entire life. Semi-interesting side story- When I was in middle school, Nolan Ryan was the pitcher for the Houston Astros. He lived near us and his family went to the church by my school, with a bunch of my schoolmates' families, including my best friend Lori. That was the only thing I really knew or cared about with regard to the Houston Astros, or baseball itself. Anyway, we went to the Westheimer Art Festival one weekend and I somehow convinced my parents to buy me a bright blue satin baseball jacket with silver glitter on the back that said "Houston Astros" along with some stars. Totally unlicensed, I'm sure. (Dad: Houston Astros?? Why do you want this?  Me: It's so pretty!!) I wore that thing EVERYWHERE. I looked like a cross between a roller disco princess and an Astros superfan, neither of which I was, but I just loved that it was just so shiny and awesome. It got glitter everywhere. Very obnoxious, so it would fit right in with this question. Blue satin, baby!
