I hope not. I just foun...Is it too late to do this? I hope not. I just found you today!<br /><br />1. First, sum up the story of your worst heartbreak in no more than five sentences. <br /><br />I met someone when I was 21, and it didn't work out, so I blamed it on the timing. I started seeing him again last year, and I found out it wasn't the timing that was off, it was us. I spent 5 years thinking that if played my cards right, the universe would put us in the same place, at the right time, and the rest would be history. I was wrong, and now I feel like I wasted a lot of time.<br /><br />2. How old are you?<br /><br />27.<br /><br />3. Okay, but how old do you feel?<br /><br />22. I hear, "You look, like, 22." a lot. And I think, "Good, because I still feel it."<br /><br />4. If you could visit any other time period in history, when would that be? <br /><br />1950s. <br /><br />5. If you could meet any fictional character, who would that be?<br /><br />Shoshanna from HBO's Girls. <br /><br />6. If you could spend a day with any non-fictional character, dead or alive, who would that be?<br /><br />My father's father. He died two years before I was born. I'd like him to meet him.<br /><br />7. What do you do when you have nothing to do? <br /><br />Listening to music, tumbrling, texting - typically all three at the same time. And I do those things even when I have other things I should be doing...<br /><br />8. Which song is the anthem to your life? <br /><br />Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise - The Avett Brothers<br /><br />9. What book will you never get tired of, ever?<br /><br />I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley<br /><br />10. Do you have a job? What is it?<br /><br />Yes, I work at a non-profit.<br /><br />11. What do you wish you could/hope to do for a living?<br /><br />Be a comedy writer.<br /><br />12. What's your blog URL?<br /><br />www.alissaerin.blogspot.com<br /><br />13. When a restaurant gets your order wrong, are you the kind of person who asks for it to be corrected, or the kind that stays quiet and eats it anyway? <br /><br />I stay quiet. I don't have allergies, I'm just asking for no tomatoes to save them a penny or two, instead of me taking it off my sandwich, and them throwing it out.Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066818503562338644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686948984526266288.post-55957190946817393562013-11-13T17:53:14.252-07:002013-11-13T17:53:14.252-07:001.

But, anyway...<br />Liked a boy. Thought there was a chance. He got a girlfriend. And then engaged. The end.<br /><br /> 2. How old are you? <br />21. <br /><br /> 3. Okay, but how old do you feel?<br />Eh, I feel like I should still be 17 or something. Everyone thinks I'm younger than I am.<br /><br /> 4. If you could visit any other time period in history, when would that be? <br />Hmm. Maybe the 40's or 60's. <br /><br /> 5. If you could meet any fictional character, who would that be?<br />Oh, gracious. Probably someone from Harry Potter. or Hercule Poirot because he was the best detective ever.<br /><br /> 6. If you could spend a day with any non-fictional character, dead or alive, who would that be?<br />My aunt who just passed away from cancer in October. One more day to spend with her.<br /><br /> 7. What do you do when you have nothing to do? <br />Ha. I am always wasting my time. Probably lay around and nap, listen to lots of music and have Gilmore Girl marathons.<br /><br /> 8. Which song is the anthem to your life? <br />oh. this has to be like the hardest question ever. I love music so much that certain songs become a huge part of my life even if they don't really reflect me. slow it down by lumineers or all this time by onerepublic they get to me every time. <br /><br /> 9. What book will you never get tired of, ever?<br />And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. That book is a masterpiece. Or. Alice In Wonderland & The Harry Potter series. <br /><br /> 10. Do you have a job? What is it?<br />Yes. I work at a library. I am a clerk. <br /><br /> 11. What do you wish you could/hope to do for a living? <br />To work at a darling little Inn sounds fantastic. I have no idea why. Or own my little shop.<br /><br /> 12. What's your blog URL?<br />www.lovelyladykatieann.blogspot.com <br /><br /> 13. When a restaurant gets your order wrong, are you the kind of person who asks for it to be corrected, or the kind that stays quiet and eats it anyway? <br />I usually stay quiet. I prefer to be polite and nice people as much as possible.

He didn't personally break my heart, but it broke my heart to watch a young man with great potential waste his life away on drugs and alcohol. Apart of me blames myself, even though I know it isn't my fault he's doing that to himself. <br /><br />2. 24<br /><br />3. 17. I can be really immature some days...<br /><br />4. 1860's. It would be so interesting to live during the Civil War and to watch so much history being made. <br /><br />5. Edward, from Twilight. JUST KIDDING. Maybe Katniss Everdeen. I want to be a bad-ass, bow and arrow shooting kind of gal, so maybe she can give me some tips. <br /><br />6. Honestly? My Grandma and Grandpa Parker. I miss my Grandma so much, and I never met my Grandpa. I know they have so much love for each other and I want to witness that. <br /><br />7. Clean, or take naps. <br /><br />8. Right now, I have I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - Sleeping At Last stuck in my head. Such a great cover and it's actually a really great song. I wouldn't say its my "anthem", but its a fantastic song. <br /><br />9. Jane Eyre. I finally finished it and I LOVE it.<br /><br />10. I do. CSR for Close To My Heart. <br /><br />11. I would love to be a vet, or a full time mom honestly. I never thought I would say that, but I would love to be with my baby all day, every day! <br /><br />12. http://craigandtrishtaylor.blogspot.com/<br /><br />13. I usually just deal with it and act like nothing happened. I hate the feeling of confrontation, even through I know it wouldn't be a big deal if I said, "Hey, this is wrong". But I'll most likely be upset and mumble under my breath how awful that place is.
