Take5 Tuesday: October 24, 2008

hosted here

a wee bit behind. catching up.

1. 5 things you like about halloween.
baby costumes (hilarious!). pumpkins. candy in bite-size form. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! ghosts (the decorative variety only, please).

2. 5 things you don’t like about halloween.
damaging mischeif. people who do things to the treats that force us to be suspicious of every piece of candy in a child's loot. running out of candy too quickly. teenage kids/young adults that throw on nothing more than a mask with their regular clothes & think that qualifies as a costume. jack-o-lanterns that rot too quickly.

3. 5 of your favorite kinds of candy.
(staying with strictly Halloween candy here.) Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. M&Ms. Twix. York Peppermint Patties. Hershey Bars.

4. 5 things you like that most people don’t.
organizing things. balancing my checkbook. history. grocery shopping. waking up early. (ok, that was much harder than i anticipated!)

5. 5 things you don’t like that most people do.
the show "Heroes". coffee. parties. roller coasters. pretty much any movie that ends up with a "cult following" (like "Clerks," for example).

10 with their own thoughts:

Great list!!! I quit watching Heroes this year and my mom is jumping ship now too - she said it's getting wierd. I don't like coffee either. :-)

Yeah...my "not" like of Halloween is WAY longer than my "do" like list!!

Awesome! I'm totally snagging this for my Saturday Survey! :)

Taking the kidding costume shopping tomorrow.... :)

ok, if i'm being honest, I loved clerks, but only because at the time it came out I worked at blockbuster video and everything about that movie IS SO TRUE!!!

I can honestly say I've never watched "Heroes". And I thought Clerks was WAY overrated.

I love your candy choices! When you say Hershey Bars, do you mean the standard chocolate ones or the miniatures? I love the miniatures.

I don't care what anyone else says, balancing your checkbook is a GOOD feeling. It's like we're saying to our money, "You're not the boss of us, we're the boss of YOU!" ;-)

As for cult movies, you did like Shaun of the Dead and Brick, don't forget!

daniel is right about the movies! Also, if you like Office Space, that's another "cult movie" (snicker snicker)

#4 has the best answers. I balance my checkbook and do all my budgeting with a self-created excel program. Nerdtastic = me

I maintain, despite Daniel's assertion that it's the worst form of torture: running for an hour at 0500 is one of my favorite things to do.

I vote for candy corn!!!

Ok we are exactly the same on numbers 3 and 4 ! Are we sisters separated at birth? LOL

#4...With the exception of grocery shopping, I LOVE all those things! You know, I like thinking that I have more in common with you than I do with "most people" :)
