Promoguy's Monday Mission

Promoguy's Monday Mission

1. What is your favorite TV show/cartoon from your childhood?
When I was little, I loved watching old Rocky & Bullwinkle reruns on channel 31 (which has now, tragically, gone PAX). Later, around middle-school and high school, it was Animaniacs.

2. Sometimes you just can't count on other people to support something you feel is important. What was the last thing you had to do for yourself that someone close to you didn't think was important?
Uh... I'm sure it's happened, but I can't think of a particular instance. Sometimes people want me to have different priorities than I have.

3. On the other hand, sometimes people can really surprise you. Recall a moment when somebody close to you supported you when no one else would.
Uh... This is hard. I should just wait until the Friday Five - they're less thought-provoking. Um..

4. Last time I got really depressed/upset, it made me want to do something really destructive but within control (like eating something bad for me). Have you ever had that feeling? What did you do?
I don't recall having that feeling. Sorry to be so boring...

5. Let's hear your favorite or most quoted line of movie dialog.
Obviously, whoever wrote this question has never been around my family, who communicates entirely in movie/television quotes. One such television quote is from "Just Shoot Me": "Chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot pie!" Don't ask.

6. What is "your song?"
I dunno. "Yellow" by Coldplay because I'm "skin and bones, turned into something beautiful"? Well, I like to think so.

7. We all make mistakes. We can't go back and erase them, but hopefully
we learn something. What mistake in your life has taught you the most? Did
it keep you from repeating the mistake again?
When I was in 8th grade, I had the opportunity to take Geometry AC at the high school, but I didn't think I'd done well enough in my middle school Algebra class, so I repeated it. I've always sort of regretted not giving it a try, because I did so atrociously in Geometry that I could have done with a repeat in that rather than in Algebra. I also found it interesting, looking back, that of the five students eligible to take Geometry, the three who went along with it were boys and the two who passed it up were girls. I don't know if that said something about our self-esteem as girls, or if it was just coincidence.
I've tried not to be a quitter and learn to stand up to a challenge. I still quit Chinese because it was too hard, but I'm sticking with Spanish.
