Writing Challenge — For Fun

10 Ridiculous Questions & Answers!

Writing Challenge Response To Binky Ink Writing

This is a response to a prompt from Binky Ink Writing in her responses to the same prompt given by Adrian CDTPPW’s answers to the same 10 questions.

Here we go:

[1] After using something around the house, do you put it back immediately after use or leave it lying around?

It really depends on what it is and what else is going on with my day. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS, so some days I am pretty good at cleaning up after myself. Other days, it might be there for a day or two, or longer. It depends on if I am in a fatigue cycle or if I’m doing well. However, food gets cleaned up right away but the dishes might linger.

[2] Do you squeeze toothpaste from the end or the middle?

END! I was engaged at one time and we were living together. I bought one of those toothpaste pump tubes because he squeezed from the middle and I don’t. Little did I know that wasn’t what was going to break us up.

[3] The million-dollar question: Do you peel a banana from the handle or the bottom?

[Shudders] I don’t eat bananas. [Shudders again] I hate them. Everything about them. Smell, texture, taste. [Shudder] I’m sorry, I need a minute. I’m skeeving.

[4] Do you leave dishes in the sink overnight?

Um, YEAH. On a rare occasion, they are actually soaking. As mentioned before, I have chronic fatigue. Sometimes I’m really good about washing them, other times… not so much.

[5] Your best subject in school?

I didn’t have just one. I was good at everything but math. I was good at math until 8th grade Algebra 1. I could kick the shit out of a chemistry problem or any other type of science mathematical equation, so it’s just a mental block.

[6] How many instruments can you play?

I used to play electric bass. I had a Rickenbacker 4003. The exact same bass as Geddy Lee from Rush, except mine was left-handed. I had been invited to join several bands, but I only played for myself, so I always said, “No”. I sold it on eBay roughly 15 years ago. I also play a little saxophone, piano, and violin.

I miss my bass. I gave her a name and everything (Kristi). Then, one day I was too cool for myself (lol) and slung my bass behind me after standing up and CRASH down on the sidewalk, chipping her. The strap came off the nut. I went out and bought lock-nuts after that.

Mine, and Geddy Lee’s, bass looked similar to this except black body, white pickguard. I can’t get a picture of Mr. Lee himself without licensing infringements, but I’m sure you can find one of him from the 80s with that bass somewhere on the internet.

[7] Yes or no to music?

I listen mostly to singing bowls all day, but when I do listen to music it is mostly Alternative, so YES!

Some of my favorite music to listen to is: Imagine Dragons, Lindsey Sterling, Nickelback, and Daughtry… for all else, everything but gospel and bluegrass.

[8] Salty or sweet?

Depends. I get into moods where I crave either, both, or none. Mostly, I lean towards salty.

[9] Introvert or extrovert?

Introvert — INFP! If you are curious about your personality, you can go to 16personalities, and take the free personality test. I get no kickback for mentioning it. According to my test, I am 91% INTROVERTED. LOL

[10] Favorite fruit?

Pineapple. I love the fruit, love the juice (pineapple juice is so friggin’ awesome!). 🍍 I love pineapples every way BUT with yogurt. I’ll even eat it on pizza.

I am also a Pumpkin Everything girl! Pumpkin Gazpacho, pumpkin desserts, pumpkin drinks, you get the idea. I love fall because I finally get my pumpkin fix.

So, there you have it. My silly answers to these silly questions. What are your answers? Write your own story, or answer in the comments section. You do you. Let’s get to know each other better and have some fun doing it. I’m looking forward to reading your answers. 😉😀

Thank you for spending time with me in my world
