Playing the Tag Game

I'm following the instructions on Nicole's site for this whole tag thing. I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong, but that's never stopped me before.

My roommate and I once: I worked with a guy who always referred to Kara as my roommate after we were married and living in TVA. I guess this is technically correct. We once went away for the weekend, but left the alarm clock set for 6:00. It was a really loud buzzer that went for over an hour.The neighbors finally found the circuit breaker and cut power to our apartment.

Never in my life have I: Been arrested.

High school was : So long ago. How did it get to be 20 years? 21 years?!?

When I’m nervous : I get quiet.

My Hair: Is cut with clippers using the #2 guard every couple of weeks. The shorter my hair is, the less obvious my ever-growing bald spot is.

When I was 5 : I had a shirt with a number 5 on it. My sisters had shirts with a 4 and a 3 on them.

When I turn my head left : I see much less unfinished work than if I turn my head right.

I should be : Out folding the rest of the laundry. It will have to wait until tomorrow.

By this time next year : Kara and I will be going out to eat in fancy restaurants and spending the night in fancy hotels. (Hey, this is my delusion, remember?)

My favorite aunt is : What kind of trouble are you trying to get me into here!

I have a hard time understanding : Much of anything these days.

You know I like you if : I ever gave you apple butter.

My ideal breakfast is : Made by someone else. ANYONE else!

If you visit my home town : Beware the giant cockroaches!

If you spend the night at my house : You'll probably need to sleep outside. There hasn't been anyone come to visit that didn't have to visit outside due to scents on their clothes and person.

My favorite blonde is : Anna

My favorite brunette is : Alyssa

The animal I would like to see flying besides birds : Me and mine. The pilot delusion is still very strong. Someday.....

I shouldn’t have been : So self conscious all of my life.

Last night I: Was awakened by a very loud thunderclap. I'm glad the girls didn't wake up.

A better name for me would be : Impossible to imagine.

I’ve been told I look like : Tom Cruise. Don't laugh! I never said I believed it, but that's what I was told. Both Tom and I looked much different 20 years ago.

If I could have any car, it would be : A Thing. Unique, unusual, and topless!

Well done! And I remember you having some apple butter at the class reunion last year but I didn't get any. Hmmm.

Guavalicious Contest Rules

As many of you know, I grew up in Hawaii, in the quaint little village of Laie . Many of you also know that I have been working away at my version of the Great American Novel for the last little while. Due to a bout of homesickness brought on by a cruel Utah winter, my story is set in (surprise) Laie. It was also in Laie that I learned to love the great taste of guava - the same taste I am about to share with a few lucky people in the form of my Guavalicious apple butter. To enter the contest, simply add a comment to this post that completes the following sentence: "A story set in Hawaii simply has to include _____." There are no right or wrong answers. I'm just curious to see what everyone has to say, both "insiders and outsiders". I also think it could be fun to try and use as many of these suggestions as possible. You can make as many as you want, but your name only goes in the hat once. I will add a jar of Guavalicious to the prize pool for every four entr

Canoe-Paddling Polynesian Guys

We have finally hung a picture on the wall here in our house. The fact that this is a blog-worthy event eighteen months after moving in is, I admit, rather pathetic. But it is also very exciting. I finally feel like we are really moving in. Slowly but surely we're picking away at the projects that need to be done, and (for now) avoiding the temptation to take on any new ones. This picture is called Hoe Kama Kani , which means "paddle with the wind." We found this picture at a home show in Honolulu while we were students, and I just fell in love with it. I stood there and stared at the picture for quite some time, but I simply couldn't justify the $140 price. The salesman told us that they had a smaller print available for much less, but they had sold out at the show. We could look at it if we came by the studio the next week. Unfortunately, the little 8x10 just didn't have the same effect as the full size print. So as you can see, we bit the bullet, got the big on

The Liar's Game - Post 500

Here it is - the 500th post here at Fifteen Minutes of Delusion. To celebrate, I'm having a contest. You can find the rules here . Post your guesses on this post. And now, on to the game. 1. My lunch with Michael Dorn. For several years, I was the Utah Wing Leader for Angel Flight West, a charity flying organization that donates flights in private aircraft for people who need medical attention. Each October, the Wing Leaders would get together with the board of directors in Long Beach, California, for a Wing Leader Planning Day. The first year I attended, actor and pilot Michael Dorn was on the board. I didn't recognize him at first, but as soon as he spoke, there was no doubt who he was. Kara and I were big Star Trek fans at the time. Although we didn't have any direct interaction, we sat at the same table during lunch. I was pleased to note that he took the onions off of his sandwich, just like me. 2. My flight with Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. One Christmas Kara and
