Carly asked me these questions after she posted the same thing on her blog. They were harder than I anticipated!
1. I know you hate the Vikings and I understand why, but if you had to pick an NFL team to cheer for, who would it be? (Hey, it's draft day!)
This is actually much easier than you think. It would be the Kansas City Chiefs. New Years Day a couple years ago, Nick made me watch football all day, and I kind of fell for Larry Johnson. So because of that, I pick the chiefs over any other team on a regular basis. Although when I was maybe 14? My cousin, Kegger asked me who my favorite football team was, and the only team I could think of other than the Vikings was the Lions. Kegger still remembers this and holds me to it every once in awhile.

2. What do you think has been the best thing to come from having a blog? The worst?
This is hard. Definately, the best thing would have to be "meeting" a couple really fabulous people. And really, even if I only have one, or maybe two people that came from this, it's really not to big a price to pay for a deep, dear, friendship, is it? The worst thing would probably be my ability to get too caught up in it, and the opinions and such of people who I've never heard of before, and be hurt by them. I should have a thicker skin.

3. What is your most prized possession?
I thought about this for awhile, I don't put a lot of sentimental value in material possessions, I like to reserve the sentiment for memories. I don't have a special piece of jewelry, or anything like that. So I am going to say my couch. I searched for three months for a couch for my first all-by-myself apartment. I had camping chairs in my living room for sitting, an entertainment center, bookshelves, a dinette table, kitchen supplies galore, a full bedroom, but I just couldn't find the couch I wanted. I finally found one, and I love it. It was the first piece of furniture I bought with my own money, and didn't inherit from someone, so I tend to see it as a solid symbol of my independence.

4. Name one thing that you have a really hard time spending money on.
Whoosh, this was really hard for me. if I see something I want, I buy it. I'm pretty selfish like that. I may wait awhile before I purchase it, but if it's something I want, I buy it. My friends hate it, because it makes me hard to shop for. Nick pointed out that I hate spending money on the doctor, specifically the chiropractor, who helps my headaches, but in general, I hate spending money on things like doctors and dentists. I recognize the importance of them, but for the most part, I can't see the results, and I want to spend my money on things I can see or remember, like clothes, furniture or dinner out with friends.

5. Did you ever imagine or pretend that you had a different name? What was it?
Oh my gosh. Funny story. When I was in college, I worked part-time at a gas station in Moorhead. One day at work, I forgot my name tag, and so I wore a name tag that said "Jamie". One of my younger co-workers came in one day and said "Dawn, why are you wearing a nametag that says Jamie?" My shift partner piped up saying that I wasn't Dawn, I was Dawn's twin sister Jamie. So for three months, we convinced this guy that I was a twin and we both worked there. My manager put both names on the schedule, and split my shifts between the two of us, I just worked them both. As Dawn, my hair was curly and I wore glasses. As Jamie, the hair was straight, or in a ponytail, and I wore contacts. I'm still shocked that he fell for, it but well he was not the smartest kid I'd ever met.
Now it’s YOUR turn to play:
Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
You will update your weblog with the answers to the questions.
You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Dear Dawn/Jamie,
That is freaking hilarious! Too too funny.
I'm not sure I want to be interviewed or not, but if you can come up with 5 questions for me, why not?
I looove that your manager played along with that. That's frickin' great.
If you wanna interview me, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine too, heh.
