Tag, You're It!

Pin It
Okay, I'm going to admit something . . . I've never been tagged before (that I can recall). I've received awards and such that come with fun questions to answer, but I've never been tagged in a regular old simple meme before. Until today. So I feel kinda special now.

1. What has been the most terrifying moment of your life so far?


A few years ago Matt and I were sharing an apartment with Josh and his wife. Josh, for some reason or another, decided to start collecting frogs. I'm deathly afraid of frogs. Don't look at me like that, it's totally reasonable. Well the damn things kept getting out of their cage and one night Matt and I were getting ready to leave the apartment and I saw this glossy little frog figurine sitting on the corner coffee table and I said, "Wow, that's really realistic." And then it breathed. And I started crying. Literally.

Other than that, I'd say my most terrifying moment was this one.

2. If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be?


What? Like you wouldn't? Fine, since I believe He already has lived and does live, I'll go with my second choice . . .

My favourite book is actually called Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites. Or, series of books you could say (number 11 just came out -  squee!!) and there's a character in it called Gidgiddonihah, a Nephite warrior. That would be wicked awesome. You have to understand I don't read much fiction so my choices are limited since any books with "characters" I read are going to be about people that have already lived. And really, nobody wants a zombie Julius Caesar.

Scratch that. I want zombie Julius Caesar!

3. If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?



4. If you could only cast any actor no longer alive to play you in a film about your life who would you choose and why?

Okay first of all, this is a messed up question. Why would I want a dead actor to play me in a movie? Also, I had to research actors that died before the age of 30, which lead me to find out that Jonathan Brandis committed suicide like seven years ago and I was never told! WTF?! Not that I'd want him to play me, but still. I guess my only option is Brittany Murphy...


Even though she only rocked the red hair in Clueless, I think she handled it pretty well. Either way, she doesn't look a thing like me. So can I please just cast the obvious choice even if she's still alive?

5. Would you generally be overdressed or underdressed at a party?

Depends on what kind of party. If it's a party just for Matt and I, I can guarantee, I'll be VERY underdressed.

6. If you could be any age again for one week, what age would you be?

Fifteen. Without a single thought.

"What I'd give to know then what I know now. 
And to still have those thighs!"

7. What is your most embarrassing moment?

This comes pretty close.

8. What meaning behind your blog name?

I am Untypically Jia! It came from a song called "Typical Girl" and it talked about a girl who was very untypical and Matt said it reminded him of me. I became Untypically Jia.


So . . . you wanna know something funny? I went through all 8 questions until I got to the bottom of the tag where it said, "Here are YOUR questions" and listed different ones. This is why I'm not a good baker. I can't read instructions to save my life.

So yeah, we're gonna do the quick version for me ACTUAL questions here . . . sigh.

1.) What did you want to grow up to be when you were a little kid?: A Unicorn. Or a writer.
2.) What is your biggest fear?: The list is currently rotating. Today it's buses.
3.) What is your favorite item of clothing and why?: My brown tee 'cause it makes my boobs look awesome.
4.) What is your favorite childhood memory?: Going to Universal Studios for the first time.
5.) Who is your idol?: I really don't have just one.
6.) What do you think is the meaning of life?: I like the other questions better.
7.) What is your favorite television character?: Currently it's this guy.
8.) What is the meaning behind your blog name?: I feel like we've been here before...

As for tagging, I'm leaving it open to anyone, and feel free to pick any of the questions above from either set.
