Questionnaires like the one below are always flying around the Internet. This one was sent to me by a friend from high school. Even though I have known her for almost 40 years now, I don’t know her as well as a wife and mom as I did as a teenager and good friend, so it was fun to see how she answered and then send along to her my responses to the same questions.
So try this out yourself and ask a few friends to do the same.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No, hopefully not Mr. Pan.
2. THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Last week, but they were happy tears.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? One of my best features, hasn’t changed much since sixth grade.
4.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Salami.
5. ANY TATOOS? No.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Maybe, depends on the moment.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? You must be kidding??? Seriously, now, far too much. It’s a habit I wish I could break.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Yes, but have avoided the opportunity so far.
10. YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Trix (they’re not just for kids), but for healthier reasons, I’ll say oatmeal or Special K with blueberries.
