Today's Random Question(s): Something you daydream about:
Many things.
Did you sit on Santa's lap as a kid?
Yes.
What's something you have a knack for?
I remember things that others don't. For example someone will say something like, "It was about 10 years ago" and I'll say, "No, it was early September of 2005" and then give them random details why: what someone was wearing at the time, what someone was eating, etc. Sometimes they look at me in shock and ask how could I possibly remember that. Everyone says, "Ask Kim, she'll know".
How deep is the deepest water you ever swam in?
Nothing more than a standard pool. Natural bodies of water creep me out. I'll wade in the ocean, but that's about it. Even watching a movie where someone is swimming in a lake makes my skin crawl.
What was a last or recent offline conversation about?
Christmas stuff.
Have you ever climbed over a fence? If so, when or why, for instance?
Last year I locked myself outside of my house and had to climb the locked gate to get to the back yard. Then I had to break a window to get back inside.
Have you noticed more drivers not going when a traffic light turns green because they're fiddling with a smartphone?
Yes.
Foodie Question(s): What kind of cake do you like for your birthday?
As long as it has buttercream frosting, I almost don't care.
Name or describe a restaurant you wish was near where you live but isn't:
My neighborhood needs Smashburger, a clean Taco Cabana (we have one but it's dirty so I don't go there) and Pollo Tropical, but that last one has been closing locations which I'm not happy about. I'm not expecting it.
Just for fun:
