I saw this on Sarah's blog and couldn't resist!
How City Are You?
The “X” stand for “No.” The “*” stand for “Yes.” (I am just going to write yes or no)
I’ve drunk Starbucks more than once in my Life: Yes! There’s one at my college, and we can use meal-plan money there. It’s the best place on campus to meet up with people, especially first-contacts for Evangelism team. Kind of a safe territory. That, and I’m addicted to hot tea.
Sometimes I link arms when I walk with someone: Yup. With Shaune or my best friend Carrie.
I shop at AE A&F, or HCO: Back in high school. But even then, only once or twice.
I own 4 or more dress shirts/dresses: Yes. I call it my “I’m a teacher” wardrobe for preclinical rotations. I’ve started getting everyday dresses tho.
I will never be caught without my cell phone: Yes. *blush*
I blow dry/straighten my hair on a daily basis: No. I pulled out my blowdryer when we were running late the other day, but that’s the first time in 6mo. Haven’t straightened my hair in 8-9 months.
I will wear flip flops no matter what the weather: No. Only in the summer.
I own an over sized pair of sunglasses: No. I had a pair as a gift. I wasn’t sad when they got stepped on.
I own 1 or more pairs of ripped jeans: Yes, but they weren’t ripped on purpose! They’re just too old. I only wear them painting now.
I layer my shirts: All the time, because I’m tall and for some reason most shirts hit way too high.
I have/had a “Myspace mirror pic”: LOL… high school.
When I’m not drinking star bucks I prefer water: Only if it’s hot and tea-flavored.
I get annoyed with tom-boys: Not really.
I own an over sized bag or purse: Yes. Three. They’re the perfect size for carrying a few folders/notebooks back and forth to class/teaching, and are prettier than most tote bags.
I have seen every episode of Laguna Beach: Not a single one.
I say “lol” online: Too much.
I own straight legged jeans: No.
I walk across the street when cars are there or not: I like being alive… I wait to cross.
I wear necklaces: Every day.
I own an iPod/mp3 player: Yes. A gift.
I have the internet: Yes.
I have more than 1 screen name: Yes.
I own/have owned a small teacup dog: No, I’m allergic to most furry animals. No pets for the Prestons :-(
I have said “lol” accidentally in a real conversation: Once.
I love shopping: Depends on the company. But we have to go to Saint Louis, because Central Illinois is miserable.
I shop whenever I have a chance: Not even close. I go “shopping” maybe twice a year. I pick up things I need… when I need them.
I have watched the Simple Life: No.
Count the *’s and multiply them by 3 and put “I’m % city.” I’m about 45% city. Makes sense – I was born in downtown D.C., moved to the shadow of Saint Louis, and now live in the state capitol. I like my creature comforts. I don’t go overboard tho.
How Country Are You? Have you..?
Ridden a horse: Yes. It went the wrong way and I was scared to death.
Owned a horse: Never have and never will.
Owned Land: No, but we’re looking (once we get the downpayment)
Been 4 wheeling: No, we didn’t have those where I grew up.
Said “ain’t”: Yes Been cow-tipping: Not exactly – we tried, but it charged us instead. I guess you’re supposed to find one sleeping.
Been deer hunting: No.
Seen a deer get cleaned: No.
Caught a fish: Yes! I was so proud… even though I didn’t touch it.
Been swimming in a lake: Yes, girl scout camp every summer.
Have worked on a ranch or on land: Not even close.
Have lived in a house in the middle of nowhere: My cousins bought 95 acres in the Smoky Mountains and I visit every year. However I don’t think that counts as “lived”
Have been duck hunting: No
Have/went swimming in a river: Yes, several times. On my cousin’s farm as well as a few other times.
Driven in a truck: Yes. For 2 years! It was so abnormal. I had a blue Jeep Comanche right after I turned 16. It was older than I was.
Own or owned a Confederate battle flag: Daddy has one (he’s from West Virginia) but no.
Have said, “I don’t like it. . I love it.”: Yes, but how is that country?
Have a funny accent or people have told you that: Yes… a New England accent…
Owned or own a pair of cowboy boots: Yes. They were red. I was 4. It was heaven.
Own/owned a cowboy hat: No.
Own/have owned a big dog: I grew up with a German Shepherd and an American Mutt. Dad always taught me that if you have to bend over to pet it, it’s not a real dog.
Say “y’all”: Sometimes, after I visit my cousins for a long time.
You have been made fun of for sayin’ “y’all”: Yes, when I get home from the mountains.
Swear when you’re mad: Unfortunately yes. I’m trying to break that habit.
Go to church on Sunday: Yes.
Have ridden a horse to somewhere in town: No
Have gone on a field trip to a farm/ranch: Yes, every year in grade school. Got to show us “suburbians” what an animal is.
Made deer jerky: No, but I love to eat it.
Have eaten deer meat: Yes
Have shot a gun before: Yes. I was so startled by the recoil I dropped it.
I’m about 45% country, according to this? How strange. I leave my heart in the mountains every time we visit. Shaune and I would love nothing more than to buy some land and become as independent as possible. All the same, I’m so suburban it isn’t funny.
I tag... anyone who's reading. Post a comment so I can come see yours!
