I really don't have that fancy of shoes.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

None.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

dwest2201 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

Nine West I suppose. My newest running shoes are pretty awesome and they are the most expensive shoes I own though... haha!

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

The same amount as before... none.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I used a spray kind that worked decent a couple years ago. I have no fun stories though.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

Mid to upper 70's is good. I still use a sheet and blanket and its just cool enough that BF can sleep in his boxers with no covers and the fan on him!

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I have no idea what you want here either...

noelle24 · June 2010

1) I don't buy fancy shoes very often, and I definitely don't pay attention to brand. I love my Softt shoes though... very comfy and cute.

2) Probably a lot. I'm surrounded by soccer fans, particularly FI.

3) I never use it. I'm terrified of looking like an Oompa Loompa.

4) 65. I love being under blankets, even in summer.

5) I don't collect things, really. I have a handful of cool rocks though. They certainly won't be worth anything, ever.

Ana_2985 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

I guess my shoes from Guess are "fancy".

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?
I am watching most games. FIL's are Italian and Chilean so I am hoping my newfound love of soccer will make them like me more. Except I'm glad Italy lost so maybe not.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner
When I was about 13 my mom got a self-tanner in a gift basket. I tried it the first time one afternoon and shortly after that I left to walk to church. On the way there, some boys sprayed us with a hose. When the tanner showed up could see where the water dripped down my legs. So hot.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?
70 F.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I don't understand either.

Kenneth Cole - not too fancy......

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I used to collect shot glasses. Really what was I ever going to do with hundreds of random shot glasses? They are all packed away in a box. I could actually use some of them for their intended purpose occaisionally.

I do the same thing, I get them from places I've been and now I have a drawer full and I barely use them

bakes218 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

My Uggs, I consider those fancy because I love them and wear them the most.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

None, I am not into soccer.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

The only thing I can think of is when Ross from Friends gets stuck in the spray tan booth. Hysterical.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

In the summer 72 and in the winter like 68.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I collect wine...that can sure be a long road!

leia1979 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?
Chinese Laundry, I guess. I only own one designer item, and that's a Betsey Johnson dress (in 50% off clearance).

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?
BF has provided me a list of dates he and his friend will be watching soccer. I can choose to be home or not. Mostly it'll be not.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner
The few times I've tried it on my face, I immediately wipe it off because I look like an oopma loompa! I can't stand the smell of self-tanner, so I'll only use the Revlon stuff for special occasions, since it doesn't smell as bad. I do want to try Urban Decay's Santa Tanita because I like the name.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?
72 in the summer. I'd actually like it colder, but the electric bill gets too high. I just leave the heat off at night in the winter and use a heated mattress pad if I get cold.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
Clothes? I'm not really much of a collector, but I do have a bad habit of buying clothes and shoes that don't get much wear.

AnneAndJJ · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?
Hmm...I can't think of it off the top of my head. I got them somewhere in Toronto, and they're so pretty...but just impractical for walking

They were like 70% off though.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?
None.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner
Never really used it, except the lotions with 'a hint of tanner'...yea...well the dry spots on the tops of my toes and between them turned orange from that stuff. I no longer allow it anywhere near my feet (and now I just don't use it at all).

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?
I wouldn't know. I have no thermostat in my apartment, and no thermometer, so it's just whatever is comfortable. If I'm cold, I add blankets. I'm going to say around 70 though, based of where I used to live.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I don't really collect anything.

Acrosthec · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

I have no idea. Some heels I got on sale in Spain.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

None, not really into soccer.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I've never used any.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

We're cheap, so we keep it about 73-74, so the dogs won't die of heat stroke, but that's about it. I usually wake up sweating. It's usually over 100 outside.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I collect squished pennies.

PaigeMcC · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?Walmart? ROFLI have no idea....I have a few AirWalks...are those fancy?
2) How much soccer will you now be watching?None
3) Tell us a story about self tannerWhen I was in HS we did West Side Story as a musical...and I was one of the Puerto Rican girls. I am pale Irish. Freckles and the whole she-bang! Anyways, I ended up going to one of those booths at the mall where they spray tan you...and it was cool. But I opened my mouth and it tasted AWFUL!
4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?Coolish...?
5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?I collect long winding roads to nowhere....
reading comprehension fail.

katanne9 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

Hah! Literally nothing. Well, I take that back. I've invested in several pairs of leather boots. But that's all I got.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

Not enough. : ( World Cup is at the wrong time for me. No TV is at either house right now. I watched 1 game a long time ago.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

My friend did it in junior high and she looked so awful I swore I'd never try it.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

hmmm 70 with the windows open. No AC for me.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?

Seaglass!

catemeg · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

Nine West (surprising how many of us there are!) I bought them several years ago for college graduation - they're blue, pink, & yellow high heel peep toe, and I adore them! I figured I wanted something colorful under the plain black graduation gown.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

A little. I like going to bars and stuff with friends to watch, but I focus more on the beer than the game. Though every time it's a big game, my office basically shuts down while we all crowd around someone's computer to watch.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I did spray on tanner for my college graduation. The lady screwed up the bottles (like in Bride Wars) and I ended up a bit orange, though nothing too drastic. Luckily I had done it a few days before so my graduation pictures all looked fine.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

That is a mystery - our temperature setting doesn't really have numbers. I like it about a thumb-and-a-half from the hot side. I usually just fiddle with it. We both like it a little chilly so we can cuddle under the blankets, but especially as he's like a live heated blanket with heat-seeking technology!

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
We collect Christmas ornaments (or something to make into an ornament) from every place we visit together. That way, our Christmas tree is full of happy memories together.

I also collect sand castles - the little ones that are glued together? Love 'em!

GreenPepperBurger · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?
Steve Madden boots.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

The same as always - none.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner.
Too much glitter. End of story.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

Freezing.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
DVDs.

[Deleted User] · June 2010

Greetings from vacation. It's a lazy morning and I knew you would miss your questions, so here you go:

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

I don't own "fancy" shoes. I guess I'm strange but I just don't see the point in spending that much money on something. So, instead of fancy shoes, I'll tell you about my favorite shoes and they are ROCKETDOGS!! Teehee.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

None. I'm not a soccer fan at all. I do, however, wish I would have watched the USA game now...

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I used it back in high schol one summer. It actually worked really great as long as I continued to use it. When I decided I was done using it, I started spotting like a leapord for a few weeks until it eventually all faded away.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

Cold!! We like it 65ish... It's tough to keep it that low in this terribly hot Louisana heat though..

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
Anything related to the Peanuts gang - esp. Woodstock. I am INSANELY addicted to all Snoopy and Woodstock things. I guess it doesn't lead to nowhere because alot of the things I've collected are antique and worth quite a bit of $$.

oceana919 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

Ummmmmmm, I honestly own very few fancy shoes, and the few I do own are from Marshalls, so I have no idea the brand.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

Just the USA games, to be honest.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner.

I used to use it, until I turned myself orange. Now, I just run with the Irish.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

Around 70. I'd go cooler if I could, but that's about as low as FI will let me put it (to avoid sending our electric bill through the room).

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
Rosaries. I collect them whenever I travel, but I've never gotten around to getting a display box to put them in.

desertsun · June 2010

Jeeter, I love Rocketdogs flats! SO COMFY!

bsidebella · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

I have two "fancy" shoes that I break out only on special occasions. A pair of black silk pumps by Mootsie Tootsie and a pair of strappy silver sandals by Club Zone.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

Same as I was before: none

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I never go near the stuff.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

Comfortable. Not too hot that I can't sleep but not too cold that I don't even want to get out of bed to pee.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
Anything that has a peace sign on it. I gravitate towards them - the design is so simplistic and means so much. I have peace sign t-shirts, earrings, tote bags, shoes, buttons, scarfs, hats, blankets, bracelets, watches, etc. Even one of my tattoos is a peace sign. I spent $8 on a crane machine down the shore because it contained teddy bears wearing tie-dye sweatshirts with peace signs on it. And yes, I won. And yes, I snuggle with it.

kaylenelizabeth · June 2010

Hi I'm new here!
Greetings from vacation. It's a lazy morning and I knew you would miss your questions, so here you go:

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

Payless (Dexter technically...)

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

None!

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I have always heard horror stories so never tried it

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

About 70 is perfect

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
Fenton milkglass in the Hobnail pattern. It's ridic but I kind of want a Tiffany blue kitchen with the white Hobnail pieces all around. I just think that blue and that white would look great together, plus the texture of the pieces are awesome. I know this is a little weird.

MeShell1313 · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?

Most of my dressy/club/goin' out shoes are Steve Maddens. I have a pair of Betsey Johnson sandels that I bout 2 months ago but never worn out b/c they won't break in

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?

None- Wait! I lie,.... I saw 5 minutes of denmark v. japan today while I was waiting for BF to pick me up from Firestone. lol

3) Tell us a story about self tanner

I got nothing good. I've used the gradual tanners + lotion on my legs but stop if I notice myself turning orangy. I'm one of those bad people who will go to the tanning beds if I want to get a little color.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?

IDK. We don't have a/c and we rarely turn on the heat in the winter. I like it cold enough that I can be under a sheet and a blanket. Definatly rather be cold & add more blankets than hot & run out of things to take off.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere
Shot glasses. I have a ton. Most are packed up right now b/c we don't have a place to display them.
I used to collect lunchboxes. Now they're in a box and I have no idea what to do with them. But every so often someone will send me a new on in the mail.
Flowers. I have every flower that I have ever been given. I dry them out and combine them in vases on top of my bookshelf.

[QUOTE]1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?
I have a pair of Michael Kors wedges. Don't get too excited tho, I bought them from a consignment store for $15. (I am very frugal when it comes to clothes/shoes)

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?
None. I actually find it funny how so many people I know never, ever watch soccer until the world cup and all of a sudden they are huge fans...

3) Tell us a story about self tanner
I actually use it quite a bit. I am ridiculously pale, so I like to give myself just a little more color. The Neutrogena spray actually works really well.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?
like most people, I like it a little colder at night, but for AZ, that's around 76-77.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
I don't really collect anything

You collect rosaries, Oceana?

Let me know when some baby sharks are coming along, we have the cutest baby rosaries at work.

Yes, where I work, we have both rosaries and button rings. What of it?

BCRockies · June 2010

1) What is the brand of the fanciest pair of shoes that you own?
Probably sketchers if that's considered fancy.

2) How much soccer will you now be watching?
Catch it every little bit on my breaks at work. No cable at home or I would be watching more of it.

3) Tell us a story about self tanner
Never used it.

4) What temp do you like your house to be at night?
Right now it's 77 which is a little warm but no need for AC yet.

5) What is something that you collect that you think of as a long and winding road to nowhere?
Recipes ~ love being creative in the kitchen. Although, it doesn't always work out.
