Well it is about time that I did another one of these. This one sure was a toughie. Now I know that I have said that on each of them so far but this one really was. We could only choose photos from 2 particular groups. I think I found some awesome photos to use though, don't you think? There are some really awesome photographers out there and I think that I chose some of the best!


1. How many kids do you have? Zero. Do the kitties count? How about the husband?
2. Who is the craziest member of your family? That would be my Uncle, who passed last year, he was always the life of the party. Now? Probably me.
3. What is the main cultural background of your family? Mexican
4. Where did you go on your last family vacation? Alaskan cruise. The husband, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law and 2.5 nephews. All together in a van, on a plane and on a floating box. We came home early.
5. What city were you born in? Tucson
6. What member of your extended family do you see the most? Well when I actually leave my house it would be my parents, My Mom in particular since my Dad is always off somewhere working or shopping or whatever else it is he is off doing.
7. Who are you closest to? Again, that would be my Mom.
8. What is the coolest job someone in your family has? Interior Design. Oh and my cousin's partner sets up the photos shoots for Pottery Barn. I think that is pretty darn cool!
9. What kind of animal(s) does your family own? Two cats
10. How many siblings do you have? I have one brother. When I turned 18, I met my biological family and found that I have 2 additional brothers and a sister. Then of course, there are the 27 first cousins (maybe a couple more). 27 first cousins and only 4/5 grew up in a different state. As for the rest, we all grew up together. It is even larger now that we are grown.
11. What fun thing does your family do together? Eat. LOL! What else do large families do when they get together?
12. Who makes you proud? My Sister. She may be 11 years younger than I but I feel that she has done so much more than I ever will.

This meme was even harder than the last one. I know that once I choose an answer I am going to think of another answer that would have fit better. Music has always been important to me. I feel that the music in a person's life is what defines them. Maybe I am just thinking too hard. I am not really finding the 'real' me so to speak, in this meme. Well who I always thought was the 'real' me. So, I am answering these questions for the here and now and putting aside the old stand-by's from the past. Knowing me, they will probably change by tomorrow anyway.


1. What's your favorite song? This is a hard question to answer as I kind of have two. "The Promise" by When in Rome and "Subculture" by New Order.
2. Favorite genre of music? (Classical, Jazz, Country, Pop...) I don't know what they call it now-a-days. Indie/Alternative/Emo. It used to be Alternativey/Gothy/Punkish back in the olden days. You know, all the cool stuff that you would NEVER hear on the radio.
3. Favorite musician (add singer/band to end if necessary)? It changes but currently, My Chemical Romance.
4. What was the last song you listened to/are currently listening to? "Loose Lips" by Kimya Dawson.
5. What type of music do you dislike? Rap
6. What instrument do you like to listen to the most? It really depends on what music I am listening too. I do like to listen to guitar especially when the parts are really intricate.
7. What instrument do you most like to play (or would like to learn)? I most like to play the piano. I really do miss not having mine in the house.
8. Where do you go or what do you listen to when you're sad? I don't listen to anything in particular when I am sad, but I can say that listening to ELO, Erasure, and currently Midnight Juggernauts sure does seem to put me in a super mood! It has to be something you can dance too.
9. What was the last concert or musical event you attended (add singer/band to end if necessary)? Tesla
10. What concert or musical event do you wish you could have attended? Or a performer you would have loved to have seen live? Michael Hutchence & INXS back in 1988.
11. You and your sweetie, what's your 'song'? If you aren't paired off, what song do you think it might be? There isn't one. Although when we first started dating he sure did sing "The Joker" by The Steve Miller band, a lot. Romantic, isn’t it? LOL! I guess he liked my peaches.
12. What song gets stuck in your head the most? (For good or for bad...) Usually it's "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie, but TODAY I cannot get "Anyone Else But You" by the Moldy Peaches to stop playing in my head. It does not help that today the hubby is singing it too. Hey! Maybe we have found OUR song after all!
