Tag... you're it!

Seems the tag game is in town (not sure what else to call it).  So here's my shot at it.


Here are the rules: 
1 - Post the rules
2 - Post 12 things about yourself
3 - Answer the 12 questions from the person who tagged you.
4 - Create 12 new questions for the people you tag. 
5 - Tag 12 people and link them to your post.
6 - Let them know that you tagged them.


I'll skip the 12 things about myself... you can read my bio if you're interested.  My questions are taken from http://crossingmyfingersbutnotmylegs.blogspot.com/  


1. How did you get into the field/profession that you work in?
I sort of ended up in the field of counselling without meaning to.  In my undergrad I went to a Bible school and the only degree that was not for doing actual church ministry (like being a pastor) was counselling.  I decided I'd take it.  After I graduated, I had no intentions becoming a "counsellor" (who sits in a room behind a desk and talks to individuals all day long) but was interested in social services types of work.  At one of my jobs, I saw some counsellors in action and thought that I would like to learn more.  So I decided to pursue my Master's.  Even while in school I questioned whether this is what I want to really do, but I enjoyed the studies.  Now I'm starting off in the field and we'll see where it goes.  I love the work I do with youth and kids but it can be draining and I'm not sure I could do it full-time forever.  

2. Favorite 80s/90s movie of all time.
I love all kids movies from the 80s.  They are just so full of magic and imagination like you don't see today.  Growing up, I loved Flight of the Navigator, ET, and the Goonies.  

3. If you were an actress and could have any role, what would it be and why?
I used to dream of being an actress.  I love romance stories.  I love musicals.  I would love to play the role of Satine in Moulin Rouge.

4. Do you know the way to San Jose? If you do, please give us directions. If you don't, give us directions to somewhere else.
Never been to San Jose.  But to get to my house from there, drive north.  Keep driving north.  When you get across the border, head to the ocean and take a boat to the beautiful Vancouver Island.  You'll find me here!



5. What is your favorite season and why?
Spring.  I was born in spring and it holds special meaning for me.  I love cherry blossoms, daffodils, tulips and hyacinths.  Also on the West Coast we get some of the earliest springs in the world.  My daffodils are almost blooming already!  

6. Ice cream or snocones? Why and what is your favorite flavor?
I used to love chocolate chip mint ice cream, but I'm not as much a fan of dairy these days.  I'd probably choose a slurpee (that's close to a snowcone, right?) over ice cream if I had the choice.  Oooh, but a slurpee combined WITH ice cream... mmm!

7. Favorite book of all times...both as a child and an adult.
The Emily of New Moon series.  

8. What makes you happiest?
A warm cup of tea.

9. Reality tv: good or bad? Why?
Blech.  Can't stand it!  It's not reality, it's people with big egos trying to get a moment of fame, and audiences exploiting others by peering in on stuff that's none of their business.

10. Favorite meal of all time.
Tacos.  A favorite as long as I can remember.

11. The chicken or the egg?
I don't know why, but this question makes me a bit mad, haha.  I think I don't like arguing for the sake of arguing and this question is often used for that purpsoe.  


There you have it.  That's me in a nutshell.  I see a lot of people have already been tagged, so feel free to tag yourself and join in the fun!  Thanks for bearing with me.
