Have you ever or would you ever scuba dive?

Have you ever or would you ever scuba dive?


You have to undergo training for that, correct? I'm not sure if I would be inclined enough.

The closest thing I've done to scuba diving is snorkeling when I went to Cancun in '09. It was horrific...it was raining so the water was super choppy and you couldn't see anything anyway. Then I got motion sickness on the boat ride back to shore.

Do you play video games?

Do you play video games?


Not so much anymore. When I do, it's my old N64, GameCube, Sega Genesis, or SNES games. Or occasionally I'll play Wii at a friend's house.

What should I ask you?

Whatever you want! My favorites, what I ate for breakfast, what the last movie I saw was, etc.

How are you doing today?  What did you eat for dinner?  for lunch?  ;) ;D

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

1. How's Chicago like?

I love Chicago! I actually just moved to the city in May. I previously lived/grew up in the suburbs. There's a lot more to do here than in the burbs, that's for sure.

2. How are you feeling that you're going to be 25 soon?

Looking forward to reaching the quarter century mark :) Although it will mean I'm halfway between 20 and 30...not sure if I'm ready for that!

3. Are you still in school?

Nope, I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in May 2013.

I'm doing well, how are you?  :)

I'm about to make myself a grilled cheese (pepper jack on whole wheat) which I will dip in french onion soup (and then eat the rest of the soup!)

For lunch today I just had a ham sandwich and some chips. I bring my own lunch to work most days to save money.

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?


I wouldn't buy anything too extravagant. One luxury I have always wanted was an outdoor hot tub. I guess I would have to buy my own place first though! The rest would go towards paying bills so I never have to worry about not being able to make payments and can live comfortably.

That's fantastic. I'm glad you're enjoying it out there. One day I will go there as I will be traveling.

Same here. I'm actually closer to that age than to 18. It will be a few more years from now that I'll be 25.

Congrats :). What did you earn a Bachelors in?

I was a marketing major, but I am working in insurance.

I was never much of a wrestling fan  :(

I just saw your question. I have to go with choice E...it's undoubtedly the best value! But that's almost too easy. Maybe I would go with D instead. It would be nice to go to a restaurant and order any entrée, soup/salad, dessert, and a few cocktails and not have to worry about cost. Depending on the restaurant there might even be enough left over for a second outing :)

I'll take D 

Were you born between August and December of 1990?
Are you into Pokemon?
How's the  weather in Chicago?
Have you gone swimming in Lake Michigan?

I was born right in the middle of that range in October of 1990. I'm curious why you chose August?

I was into Pokemon when it was at its zenith during the '99-00 school year (my 3rd grade year.) Surprisingly I didn't get into the games much, I was more into collecting the cards and various other merchandise and occasionally watched the cartoon. I lost interest in Pokemon by the next school year and never picked it up again. I never played Pokemon Go if you're curious.

October in Chicago is always a mixed bag. This one has actually been really nice for the most part which is great because it's my favorite time of year. Today it was in the low 70s -- warmer than usual for this late in the month. I hope we are in for a mild winter because we've had some nasty ones recently!

I have been swimming in Lake Michigan plenty of times! In Chicago as well as NW Indiana. The water is always cold and dirty looking. I much prefer the ocean :D

I chose August because that is when some schools start the school year .
Did you ever get into Digimon?

Have you ever been snowed in?

When is the 1st time you remember going on a computer?

1) Oh I see. I was born in October so I went to school with kids born between September 1990 and August 1991 barring a few who straddled the borders.

2) Never got into Digimon. I remember when I first heard about it I couldn't believe that such a blatant rip-off of Pokémon was even allowed to exist. Maybe it's not a rip off of Pokémon though, I don't know because I never watched it or got involved with it in any capacity. It seemed similar though?

3) I have never been snowed in (to the point where I couldn't leave my house if I needed to.) That sounds super cozy though as long as it's just for a day or two, I have all the supplies I need, and no emergencies happen! :D

4) My cousins had a computer ever since I could remember because my uncle needed one for work. I bet I went on it to play a game with my cousin at some point when I was really young, but I likely became more acquainted with using them in elementary school. I think I vaguely remember the librarians at the school walking us through how to use Netscape browser but I'm not sure what grade that was. My family didn't actually get a computer until late 1998 or early 1999 when I was in 2nd grade. For the first few years we had it I didn't go on the internet (AOL) much, I mostly used it to play games and write stories in MS Word.

Maybe around 2001ish I started logging into AOL more to chat with classmates. A funny thing I remember about using AOL messenger when I was that young: If someone was signed in, even if they weren't really your friend, you ALWAYS sent them a message. I guess when you're kids it's just that easy to be social and make conversation.

Thanks again for your questions!

How do you feel about the Cubs getting into the World Series?

How do you feel about the Cubs getting into the World Series?


I've never really been a sports fan but I'm always happy for the home teams when they make it to championships. The Black Hawks have given Chicago a lot of reasons to celebrate this decade and now it looks like it might be the Cubs' turn! It will be cool to see Wrigleyville go wild if they win the series for the first time in 108 years.

I mentioned in another thread that there is a historical rivalry between Cubs fans and White Sox fans. Cubs fans tend to be north-siders and White Sox fans tend to be south-siders because of where their respective home stadiums are located in the city. I grew up in the south suburbs so most people I knew were White Sox fans. I live on the north side now so I know plenty more Cubs fans. White Sox fans have been pretty gracious about it on Facebook as far as I can see.
