Weekly Poll
1. How has your week been so far? Not great, lots of stress about my dog.
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person? Usually empty at first but then sometimes I see the full side.
3. What’s on your nails? None actually!
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)? I don’t know, which is why I ask you!
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used? I know a lot of people don’t like it because of the packaging it comes in, but I still say for me, it’s Urban Decay Primer Potion. For years and years I dealt with my eye shadow creasing, usually within 2 hours. Then all damn day I would be trying to fix it. Nothing worked until I found this product. Now I can wear eye shadow for 16 hours with no creasing whatsoever, I absolutely love it. I have gone through many, many tubes of it since it came out.
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie? No and I would love to! I actually asked this because I have a replica of an old tin sign with chocolate covered Twinkies on it and I have never actually seen them, so I wonder if they really exist!
7. What is your favorite form of exercise? None. Ha, ha, kidding. Sort of. I really loathe exercising, I am lazy as hell. But I always feel great after I work out. I would say going on a long hike with my camera is my favorite kind of exercise, but I don’t do it often enough!
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever? Billy Wirth from The Lost Boys. He’s the one with black long hair, the epitome of a hot vamp. Runner up is Brad Pitt as Louis in Interview With a Vampire. Don’t kill me but these guys they have playing vampires now on Twilight and The Vampire Diaries are total dorks to me! I think I could kick their asses, if necessary. 
9. What was the worst book you ever read? The Odyssey. Not because it was horrible, the story is actually interesting, but it was SO HARD to understand! I had to read it and The Iliad in a Greek Mythology class in college and I never thought I would get through it. A very close second was A Room Of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf. I just cannot stand her writing style, it makes me stabby.
10. Do you wear a watch? Yes and I am pretty sure I would die without one. I’ve been wearing a watch daily since like age 9 or 10. I don’t necessarily wear it because I have to know what time it is always, but it’s more of a security blanket for me. I feel very naked without it. My personal preference for watches is large men’s sized ones. I don’t wear a lot of other jewelry, this is my constant staple (aside from wedding/engagement rings and tiny earrings in ear piercings that never come out).

4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)? I have a couple of methods. First, I make sure than whenever I am working with the person and he/she contributes a positive idea/action, I credit the person for that contribution in a meeting with the boss. If the threatened person sees that I’m giving credit that makes him/her look good, it really helps. I also make sure that I help the person learn new things or share tips/tricks to help that person perform better. (Which usually helps me as well if we’re working together.) I try to do it in a non-threatening way so I don’t come across as “Look how much more I know that you do!” to prevent a backfire. I might say something like, “Oh, that used to give me trouble, too. I learned a trick to save time and I can show you whenever you’d like.” That’s something I try to avoid saying at the meeting with the boss.

10. Do you wear a watch? I have a Citizen Eco-Drive solar watch that I love. I’ve had it since 2003 and it just stopped working and needs a new capicitor (I hope!) to start working again. Being without it is driving me crazy! I hate having to fish my phone out of my purse just to see what time it is and I keep glancing at my naked wrist.

Don’t even know what a Twinkie is.
7. What is your favorite form of exercise?

OPI Samoan Sand – It’s my “Mannequin Hands” color and it’s totally freaking me out. I’m not a “nude” kind of girl….and I have to say it’s even grosser than I thought it would be. It’s a cross between Silly Putty and Barbie boobs.
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)? Try to be friendly, diplomatic and professional – depending on the setting. Of course if the person is a jerk – I just go with it.

Hi Kelsey,

My glass’s always half empty so I always need to pour more&more %)
3. What’s on your nails?
OPI You’re a Doll!

I did have a chance to compare it to Absolutely Alice in the bottle and on a sample plastic nail, and not only are they very close, I like this better. It’s such a happy, shiny color. I’m going to be trying C-C-Courage for the first time later this week, and now I can’t wait.
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)? I do my best to put them at ease, and try very hard to listen to what they’re saying. Unless of course I’m trying to be threatening, in which case I milk it for all it’s worth.
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used? Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion. Because it’s one of the very, very few that’s actually worked exactly as advertised.
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie? Yes! They’re called Chocodiles and they were my absolute favorite! I don’t know if they’re still made, but sometimes one of the outlet bakeries used to carry them.
7. What is your favorite form of exercise? Swimming and weight lifting. I do both. I especially like weight lifting because it turns out my body really likes it and responds very well to it. And women my age and shape aren’t supposed to have muscles or be physically strong, and I like blowing that stereotype out of the water too.
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever? Whichever one is on fire at the time. I absolutely do not get why vampires are attractive at all.
9. What was the worst book you ever read? Treasure Island. I had to twice, for two separate English classes, and hated it more every single time. Boring, turgid, slow, completely uninteresting.

So so. Today’s been awful in many ways, except for that it’s been okay.
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person?
Definately a half full person. I’m happy most of the time and handle disappointments really well.
3. What’s on your nails?
Nubar Cherry Cordial.
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)?
Don’t know really. Think I just try to ignore them.
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used?
Impossible to answer – love so many products!
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie?
I don’t even know what that is.
7. What is your favorite form of exercise?
Pilates.
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever?
Edward in Twilight of course. Even though he’s suppose to be 17 and I’m 31. Come to mama!
9. What was the worst book you ever read?
A really horribel swedish crime novel. Full of prejudices towards the gay community.
10. Do you wear a watch?
No, not since I bought my first cell phone twelve years ago.
1. How has your week been so far? One of those weeks where everything goes by and you’re in a zombie-like state for most of it.
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person? Honestly, empty. I think that’s realistic though, haha.
3. What’s on your nails? China Glaze Ruby Pumps, but it’s chipping (exactly one week of wear today, so not bad!) and I’m getting ready to replace it with something else. Haven’t decided what yet!
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)? It depends whether I think they SHOULD be, lol. If it’s a friend then I am genuinely concerned and try to address the issue so they’re more comfortable. If it’s a stranger then that works in my favor because I am generally pretty sociophobic.
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used? Baby powder. No lie. I was spending 30 dollars on specially formulated almost-pure-white powder for my pale skin, ran out of it and threw on baby powder for the heck of it… and never looked back. Baby powder is now my face powder.

.-= marisol´s last blog ..Tequila & I Are Still Friends =-.
I’ve never responded to weekly polls before, but I like reading them so I’m giving it a try!
1. How has your week been so far?
Too Short. It’s my last week off before school starts :/
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person?
I can be either depending on my mood.
3. What’s on your nails?
Violet Metal Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Nail Polish
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)?
I try to ignore them.
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used?
Urban Decay Eyeshadow. I love their eyeshadows!! They are really pigmented and shimmery.
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie?
No, but I have tried a fried oreo…….:/
7. What is your favorite form of exercise?
Walking or riding a bike. I’m really lazy.
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever?
I don’t think they’ve quite nailed the hot vampire look in movies yet. They all look so chalky. Edwards scene in the second twilight movie where he reveals his hairy white chest still makes me shudder….:(
9. What was the worst book you ever read?
I really do not like crime, suspense, or action novels like those written by Robert Ludlum or even The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or whatever it is called lol. I think those books make better movies.
10. Do you wear a watch?
No actually. I rely on my cell phone for time, but I manage to misplace that regularly as well.
I’m sorry about your dog
my pup is 12 and it sucks to see him get old.
1. How has your week been so far?
Busy because it’s the first full week of classes. It’s going by fast though which is good!
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person?
I try to remain positive…but it depends on the situation.
3. What’s on your nails?
Nothing right now. I’m trying to decide between a couple of colors for my next manicure…. any suggestions?
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)?
Hmm. Probably by ignoring them or just by being myself (because I’m actually a nice person and easy to get along with).
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used?
I LOVE Urban Decay Primer Potion because eyeshadow always creases on me too. I wear liner more often, though, so I swear by Sephora’s Liner Last. Also, I’m obsessed with CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara. I’m too lazy to curl my lashes (and I’m too afraid I’ll poke my eyes out!) and this mascara gives me huge lashes with little work. I put a few coats on and then use CG Lash Length to even out my lashes.
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie?
Nope. I prefer ice cream and Reese’s
7. What is your favorite form of exercise?
I prefer long walks on the beach….haha erm I like walking my dog and running but I haven’t had the motivation to run in a while :/
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever?
OMG Eric Northman from True Blood (watch the 2nd season) and the Sookie Stackhouse series of books is hands down the hottest. Also, Edward in the Twilight series books is pretty nice to imagine about…
9. What was the worst book you ever read?
Probably anything Shakespeare because it’s like trying to understand a foreign language. The subject matter is really interesting, though.
10. Do you wear a watch?
Nope. I have a nice watch, but I use my cell phone. Once I get out of college though, I’ll probably have to wear a watch.
.-= Kasey´s last blog ..Update! =-.
1. How has your week been so far? Crazy. We are dealing with these things called furlough days and hiring freeze = nightmare!!!
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person? half full
3. What’s on your nails? nada
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)? I keep up my act so they stay threatened! Ha….I really can’t think of people threatened by me…mostly just annoyed by me.
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used? I’m not a huge cosmetics person (too cheap) but I do like my Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner because it stays on…but if you make a mistake with it you’re toast.
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie? I’ve never seen this, but sounds awesome.
7. What is your favorite form of exercise? Probably walks with the fam
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever? I have no clue on this one…I’ll have to give it some more thought, do more research.
9. What was the worst book you ever read? Wow, this is hard this week. Would have to be something from school that was forced upon me because I stop reading anything else that I don’t like. I only have so much time for reading, it can’t be wasted.
10. Do you wear a watch? YES!! I’m like you….very lost without it. I just have a somewhat plain Fossil watch now with some bling around the face, but I really want a new bigger, awesome watch. However..due to furlough days mentioned above…spending must be stopped.
On a serious note, I’m very sorry that your dog isn’t well. We lost our two cats this year and it sucks. I still miss “my” cat soooo much. I just try to remember the good times that I had with him. (I know a non-animal lover will just think I’m whacko with that last statement!)
1. How has your week been so far?
Flatstick! Second week back and kicking butt! Starting as I mean to go on in 2010
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person?
Half empty – best to prepare for disappointment and not be surprised
3. What’s on your nails?
MAC Ammunition, topped with OPI Heart of Gold. My first foray into greens and I’m loving it!
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)?
I should be so lucky – I seem to be the one who is always feeling threatened!
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used?
My new Seche ridge-filling base coat
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie?
No, NZ is Twinkie-free, mores the pity
7. What is your favorite form of exercise?
Walking or sit-ups
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever?
Antonio Banderas in Interview with the Vampire – the long black hair, the deathly-white pallour. Mmmmmmm
9. What was the worst book you ever read?
Stephen King – Insomnia. So bad, I never even finished it. I never even read the back to find out how it ended. I just didn’t care.
10. Do you wear a watch?
Used to, but now rely on my i-phone.
1. How has your week been so far?
LONG. And boring. I’m so ready for IMATs doing makeup shopping and hanging out with other bloggers that my work week has really dragged. Only a day and a half to go!
2. Are you a glass is half full or empty kind of person?
Half empty, unless it’s my turn to go to the bar. Just kidding. I do get told I can be quite negative though.
3. What’s on your nails?
Models Own Nude Beige.
4. How do you cope with people who are obviously threatened by you (not physically)?
I admire their good taste. And then ignore them – they’ll get their come-uppance one day. You should not be affected by their jealousy and insecurity as feeling that way is more damaging to them than the person they inflict it on. Not that I have any idea what you are talking about
5. What’s the best cosmetic product you have ever used?
Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara
6. Have you ever had a chocolate covered Twinkie?
What’s a Twinkie? Sounds rude.
7. What is your favorite form of exercise?
Turning the pages of a book, or walking to my car.
8. Who’s the hottest vampire ever?
I so agree with you about Billy Wirth. Jason Patric was too pretty, and Kiefer Sutherland looked like a thug, not a bloodsucker. Antonio Banderas is pretty awesome. Why do I think that vampires should have dark hair?
9. What was the worst book you ever read?
George Eliot – Middlemarch. Because I forgot I had to read it by a certain deadline for my course and had to skim-read the entire thing in a weekend. DULL. Or James Joyce’s Ulysses. Talk about hard work.
10. Do you wear a watch?
Yes. I’ve never had a really expensive one but tend to buy smaller girly ones that last me a couple of years or so. I have a Guess one now with diamante on it- stiill quite subtle though.

7. What is your favorite form of exercise?–Romanian dead lifts. The things that does for my ass!!!!
