elusivekI was a bit early this morning, so now I have my Friday Five part 2 with F.riday5.com's questions!
Hello, and welcome to this week’s Friday 5! Please copy these questions to your webspace. Answer the questions there; then leave a comment so we’ll all know where to check out your responses. Please don’t forget to link us from your website!
This week’s 5 is inspired by the party game Scattergories, in which players have to think of items, all beginning with the same letter, in several categories. For example, if the die is rolled and shows the letter M, players might have to name a soft drink, a farm animal, a river, and a U.S. President, all beginning with M. Valid answers might be Mountani Dew, mouse, Missouri, and Monroe.
First, go to this nifty online random-letter generator. Set the “number of random letter sequences to generate” to 1. Set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 1. Leave the “letters to choose from” how it is and click the button. You’ll get a rather non-dramatic one letter. Use that letter to begin all your answers to the 5 questions below. If you’d like to avoid difficult letters, feel free to change the “letters to choose from” list. I’ll only judge you a little bit. 🙂
Alternately, if you find this boring, you could set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 5, thereby giving you five letters, a different one for each question.
Wow! This is our eleventh year doing this! If you find this particularly fun (because I do) and haven’t done this before, here are the questions for parts 9 and 10. Go crazy and do those too.
Please answer these questions with an answer whose initial is the letter you rolled!
First, my generated letter is... H
1. What’s something that recently exceeded your expectations?
hm.... this is tough... oh yeah, there's this new Buffet place opened (the new resort that my company opened 2 weeks or so ago) so I busted ass and got a booking for the family. It's probably the first time I see Hummus, and a good one, in a buffet in Macau. My bar of a good buffet used to be the Cheese selection, but after this new buffet place, I have to change the bar to starter foods.
2. What snack from your childhood would you love to have right now?
I actually do miss the old traditional cheap-charlie ham and cheese finger sandwiches... you know, using plain untoasted white bread, fake dubious ham content ham, and cheap kraft cheese slice? Would look something like this. Now, if I ever order a ham and cheese, I make sure it's good bread, good ham, and real cheese.
3. What ailment do you suffer from?
I have no idea, but since I once in a while suffer from acne breakouts, I suppose, hormone imbalance of some sort. Not sure if that's considered an "ailment" though.
4. Which musical artist would be fun to hang out with?
I wouldn't know, I don't really check out artists and their personal lives to know whether they are fun or not. But oh, I've mentioned I've been watching Twoset Violin on Youtube, and they sometimes have Hilary Hahn as their guest. She seems pretty funny and easygoing there, and the plus point is, I've actually met Hilary Hahn in person. She did a show in Macau once and I queued up on the line for signings and a handshake. We had a very brief chat. She didn't have the chance to see the city yet (but wanted to), and then asked what about me, assuming I was a tourist too, and she was surprised I'm a local here LOL.
5. What’s something you’re looking forward to this weekend?
I'm still on the fence about whether or not I should go for a haircut tomorrow. I'm torn. A (not really) much needed haircut, or a snobby elitist day at Starbucks with my MacBook pretending to be the younger hipsters and whatnot?
Thanks for participating, and have a XCSOH* weekend!

I'm surprised I actually managed to answer all 5 questions with the letter H, haha!
