kaesha · July 2010

Level One: Go!

Name: Alyson
Wedding Location (and why): Olowalu b/c it was private, on Maui and GORGEOUS.
Wedding Date: August 18 2009
FI/DH's level of awesomeness today: Relatively awesome. It would have been a higher level if he hadn't been banging pots all morning while he was making his lunch. What did he need those pots for anyway? Lunch was leftovers...

Level Two: High School
What high school did you go to? St. Paul's Catholic High School. (I'm not Catholic either. I went to a Jewish kindergarten too. I'm also not Jewish. My school based religious education has been interesting to say the least!)
Do you look back on high school with a happy heart or with feelings of resentment? My school went from grades 7-=OAC (grade 13 which is now gone from Ontario), and I hated it up until grade 11. My last two years were awesome though.
Which was easier for you: English or math: English, but I was still an 80s student in math.

Level Three: Work
Would you be willing to move for a job? How far? Internationally? Yes! Once we have a house and kids, I really want to do a teaching exchange overseas to somewhere like New Zealand or England.
Do you have workplace drama? Are you at the center of the drama? Yes! And no (at least not that I know of). Half of my staff hates each other. It's really pretty ridiculous.
If you weren't doing the job you're currently in, what would you want to be doing instead? I'd love to get paid for writing! That would be awesome. But, if I wasn't teaching, I'd really like to be doing something in international development.

Level Four: Hobbies
Do you have any? Yes.
Are they the kind of hobbies you're slightly embarrassed about because they make you seem like an old lady? One is super old ladyish.
Alright, tell me, what do you do for fun? I cross-stitch! Please don't make too much fun of me! I'm pretty crafty - I've just gotten into lino printing and I really want to make this this summer. Also reading and dreaming about my next meal.

Level Five: Confessions
Something that makes you want to scream: All the girls on the Food and Cakes board who insist you have to cater to picky eaters and go bland for food. Maybe it's just my upbringing, but I think it's really important to be a good guest and eat what was on the plate regardless of personal preference. Being picky (and making a deal of it) is just such poor etiquette.
Something that makes you want to jump for joy: I'm finally putting wedding pics up on the wall!
Something you're OCD about: I have to organize things in the colour of the rainbow. No. Seriously.
Something you're obsessed with: True Blood! God, I love that show (and Eric)!

leejj3 · July 2010

Name: Jenn

If you weren't doing the job you're currently in, what would you want to be doing instead? I worked at a pediatric office before and I loved it.

Level Four: Hobbies
Do you have any? We're trivia night nerds and go out sometimes 4 nights a week to local bars that have games. We're pretty awesome too.
Are they the kind of hobbies you're slightly embarrassed about because they make you seem like an old lady? Not old lady but people make fun of us when me and FI quiz each other on superbowl winners to prepare for trivia.
Alright, tell me, what do you do for fun? I slacked on my cranes as a result of super mario galaxy 2. Probably spent literally a hundred hours playing the last 2 months.

Level Five: Confessions
Something that makes you want to scream: Closed-minded people
Something that makes you want to jump for joy: Is it a cliche to say the wedding? Specifically when college friends decide they are going to make the long trip
Something you're OCD about: Vacations-I'm a micromanaging over-planner. Charts with hours/prices/address are always made before "vacations"

cryssv · July 2010

Wedding Date: May 19 2011

Level Two: High School
What high school did you go to? Reynolds Secondary

Level Three: Work
Would you be willing to move for a job? How far? Internationally? I have my roots here, I'd never leave this island - it's beautiful, I love it and I'm such a family girl - could never leave em' (as much as they drive me nuts)
Do you have workplace drama? Are you at the center of the drama? a little. I have a very menopausal coworker that insists i ride her emotional rollercoaster with her daily. I swear to god it's like working with a 5 year old
If you weren't doing the job you're currently in, what would you want to be doing instead? I've just done a recent career path change so that ones a toughy for me - maybe something with a better wage?

Something that makes you want to jump for joy: sorry have to say it...... the wedding
Something you're OCD about: ok don't laugh at me, it's weird and random and I have no clue where this stemmed from ....... I have this weird thing about my neck. I can't handle the thought of greasy fingers/or dripping food on my neck. I can't watch kids eat melting ice cream and watch it drip onto their neck - it's disgusting. Dave (FI) will prey on this one and pretend to dab a piece of pizza onto his neck or some other equally gross greasy thing and just watch me squirm.
Something you're obsessed with: losing 5lbs - I've lost 20lbs and obsessed with busting through my plateau to drop the last 5lb (if anything even more so not that we're planning the wedding).
