When I saw this alphabet survey circling the blog world, I naturally knew I had to ransack it. I mean, who what blogger doesn’t love answering questions about themselves? Let’s see here…
A. Age: 23 (but not for much longer!)
B. Bed size: queen.
C. Chore you hate: cleaning the bathroom in general is a horrid task. In fact, I’d literally rather get a root canal.
D. Dogs: love ‘em! BUT – I think I love cats just a wee bit more. AND I kind of can’t stand when people think you can only like one or the other.
 |
E. Essential start to your day: I have to brush my teeth the moment I wake up. Then I spend time reading the Bible and praying.
F. Favorite color: dark purple/eggplant.
G. Gold or silver: ah, that’s a toughie. That’s why I love my watch – it includes both so I can mix and match the two.
H. Height: 5’3.
I. Instruments you play: nada. I played piano for almost 11 years before giving it up. Definitely a regret of mine!
J. Job title: Administrative Assistant and/or Communications Professional.
K. Kids: not a fan right now…
L. Live: NY…PA…always an East Coaster.
M. Mom’s name: Denise, aka Best Mom Evah.
N. Nicknames: Grace Face, Greasy, Gracie Girl, G-Money, and G (<— my favorite).
O. Overnight hospital stays: none.
P. Pet peeve: My biggest is definitely slow/bad walkers. I seriously cannot handle them and may need to walking-rage therapy for it. Others: when you make eye contact with someone you know but they look away like they didn’t see you, when people don’t use their turning signal, aaand know-it-alls.
Q. Quote from a movie: “Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.” – from Meet Joe Black.
R. Right or left handed: rightie.
S. Siblings: older sister, Katie.
T. Time you wake up: it varies from 6:30am to 8:30am, depending on the day.
U. Underwear: uh, what about it?
V. Vegetables you dislike: even though they’re technically not vegetables, I don’t like raw tomatoes or olives.
W. What makes you run late: traffic or simply losing track of time. Otherwise, I’m not usually late.
X. X-Rays you’ve had: hmm, good question. I’ve had a number of MRIs, but I think the only X-rays I’ve had were on my teeth.
Y. Yummy food you make: Cake Batter Blondies. And “meals for one” in general.
Z. Zoo- favorite animal: Tigers and monkeys.
Your turn! What I want to know is – what are your nicknames? And what are your pet peeves?
oh my gosh we have the same pet peeve.. WHEN PEOPLE walk slower than me like right in front of me.. GAH so annoying!
nicknames:.. Carebear!
Nicknames include Gramanda and the classic Mandy. Pet peeves: as a journalism major, I cringe whenever an excessive amount of exclamation points is used…but I get why people do it.
I think I posted this same pet peeve on PBFingers…but slow walkers! I totally agree! I seethe with rage …gah!
Nicknames: S, Shan, Banana, tig, pooter
I posted that as my pet peeve too! It drives me bonkers!!
i also used to play piano and regret ever giving it up! =(
your cake batter blondies look so delish.
i love the mix of gold and silver- and that watch!
i’m also a very fast paced walker. slow to the right, quick on the left, right?!
That puppy is SO CUTE!!!
My nicknames are Trace or Tracer or, by my boss, T-Bone.
Pet peeves: Slowness in general. I don’t care if it’s someone walking, driving, or checking me out at the grocery store. Hurry it up!
My friends call me LeePee, which is very strange if you don’t know us. haha A big pet peeve of mine is also the slow/bad walking thing. Especially on a college campus where I feel like I am always rushing somewhere, I hate when people don’t move at a normal pace.
Ashley (whole-ier) says
I hate when people walk slow in front of me too- especially at the gym. you are there to workout! walk faster!
My pet peeve is when people have long conversations on their cell phones in public places.
I have the same pet peeves! I also hate when I hear girls cut other girls down
One of my nicknames is G too! It is my favorite also! My other nicknames are GG, Gina Bina, Gean Bean, GinAH,….and believe it or not my Dad and brothers used to call me Snooki, but that was before Jersey Shore haha.
Have a great day girl!
my initials are GG too! 😀
This is such a fun way to get to know people! Thanks for sharing.
ahhh ahaha i forgot slow walkers on my abc list. i totally agree.
And girl, if you ever feel like whipping up a batch of those blondies…i would be more than happy to provide you with my address.
ohh, you just made me think that maybe those blondies will be my next giveaway 😉
Those cake batter blondies look SO good! And you’re extremely photogenic - I’m jealous!
My pet peeve is when people facebook/tweet that they’re going to the gym, seriously I have so many people as friends that do this and it drives me nuts. Another pet peeve of mine is when people don’t flush the toilet after using it (gross….)
Ashley @ Healthy Heroine says
Haha, I agree with all of your pet peeves. I HATE when people don’t use their turn signals and slow walkers drive me nutso. Both things turn me into a walking/driving ball of rage.
My friends all call me Ash, A, or LeeLee; my mom calls me Peanut; and my older brother has referred to me as Ashtray or Ash-hole since I was about 6(charming, I know).
Omggg those blondies look delicious and this post is such a good idea! LOVE IT! =)
We are the same hieght and age 😉
Nicknames are T or Tiny & pet peeves definitely slow walkers or bad drivers (a true New Yorker!)
So great to learn more about you!
I am loving these Myspace-esque questionnaires. Takes me back to eighth grade. I have a lot of nicknames - one of my best friends and I call each other Mom, which seems weird but it just fits us. Also, Cait (naturally) Caiters, Pip, Meals, Princess (ugh) and Fresa.
I have a lot of pet peeves. How about leaving dirty dishes in the sink for days? Or washing your hands and leaving the sink a wet, sopping mess? Coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths? And let’s not forget parents letting their kids run amuck in a store or business. People often just have no manners. Can you tell I’ve worked in customer service a long time?
People have also called my Grace Face, especially when I had braces, since it’s close to brace face I guess. Others are Gracie, Gracie-Poo, Lizzy( my real name is Elizabeth Grace, but no one calls me that), Liz, and my boyfriend calls me a million weird names like lumpkin and pook.
I love filling these things out! When I was younger, I would waste hours filling them out and then never sending them because…I am not totally sure why.
Nicknames: Mar, Migs, and a huge list my husband calls me (princess, baby, babe, honey, etc,)
Pet Peeve: Anyone wearing PJ pants in public…especially guys. Interrupters. Being late.
I love this idea! I just posted something similar!
And purple/eggplant is such a great color!
Meaghan says
I love this! Reminds me of those notes on Facebook people do. I totally share your pet peeve of slow walkers, they drive me nuts! and when they make it hard to pass them.. oooooh even worse! I find people in the hallways at my school are awful at that! I totally did this on mine this morning.
Melie says
haha! It looks like today’s reader is full of this ABC thingy. I’ve done mine too!
I have tons of pet peeves but the latest one is the descriptions in twitter/facebook. rg. *snirks* *points to there* *laughs* you get the deal. If you cannot write it in a way to express that without the description you are doing something wrong!!!
So much fun! What a great way to learn more about you.
I don’t really have any nicknames… boring, I know. One of my pet peeves is smacking! I hate hate hate when people smack their gum or chew their food really loudly. So gross!
I totally want to fill this out- it looks so fun!
Love this survey!
My Husband calls me “crazy” - does that count?
I’m the same way about cats&dogs - why can’t we love em both?! I do have a soft spot for kittens though.
I love calling people by their first initial: B, J, D, etc. I wish “M” sounded good plain but usually I just get called Mel (obvs), Mer, Boo, or something in conjunction with my last name
This survey looks so fun! I think I’m going to have to try it for a post! Just the thought of those cake batter blondies makes me start salivating… just sayinn’
PB Addict says
We had similar answers to some of those ABC’s, like I cannot stand slow walkers either! And tigers are awesome
I may have to get my first MRI soon and don’t know what to think of it!
Haha, love this I did it today too!
Nicknames: None
Sometimes people call me Kace I guess.
Pet peeves: Know it alls is a good one!
Oh gosh, this is kind of perfect timing. Instead of calling it a pet peeve, now you can tell people that you have competitive pedestrian syndrome!

I hate slow walkers too! It drives me crazy. Another pet peeve of mine is when people chew their food with their mouth open or chomp their gum really loudly.
Horrible drivers is my pet peeve!! And the only nickname I have is babe and honey (my hubby calls me) and mama and mommy (my kids call me)
Oh my gosh, I totally agree about slow walkers. It drives me crazy, especially when there are a group of them that totally block the sidewalk/hallway!
Today I was stuck behind 1. a group of slow walkers taking up the ENTIRE sidewalk, naturally 2. All whom were smoking, of course.
I eventually got around them when we were crossing the street.
I did this today too!
1. My nicknames are Stoonball, Stoons, Cbrad, and Bear
2. I hate when people wait until they are all the way out of a parking spot to start turning their wheel and then they get stuck. I also hate it when people don’t use adverbs.
I love this ABC’s post! My nicknames are Sarahbear and dove (my bf randomly calls me that). Pet peeve: when people drive to close behind me!
Those blondies look amazing! I’m definitely going to have to try out that recipe!
Love reading new tidbits about the bloggers I love to follow 😀 And that blondie at the end looks insanely delicious.
Oh my goodness I HATE slow walkers! We can go to slow walkers rage therapy together, totally fine. Anywhos, we are the same heigh basically, I am 5’2″ and a quarter, and have not grown in six years! I lurve being a midget!
Urgh, slow walkers get me agitated too.
Especially when you’re at an already crowded mall and the people in front of you are slower than slugs! (Do I sound mean? Haa :P)
Rachel @ Healthy Teacher says
This is fun. I love templates like this.
Stephanie @ LoveLaughterLight says
Our “Vs” are the same; hate raw tomatoes and olives! Except, I eat pico de gallo on my Chipotle/Qdoba…
*shrug*
That Cake Batter Blondie looks oh so Delicious! Can you send me one for breakfast please?
Love your watch! I have the same one in silver!
