It’s a new week of Gala’s Curious Tuesday. Please feel free to join in!

1. Who is your favourite musician, NOT in terms of talent or aptitude, but based on pure sex appeal?
Justin Timberlake. I do like his music but he is just so hot, whether he can sing or not.

2. What were some quirks of your past lovers that drove you crazy?
Not applicable. lol

3. If there was a movie made about your life, what song would you absolutely INSIST be on the soundtrack?
“Valerie” – Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse lol I just like having a song with my name as the title.

4. What is your favourite quote right now?
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!”
— Audrey Hepburn

1. Who is your #1 crush?
Wow, that’s hard. That was a long time ago. lol It was probably this boy named Tristain when I was in elementary school. When we played tag on the playground I let him tag me.

2. Have you ever tried online dating? How did it go? Any tips?
I’ve never tried it. I’m a little wary with all of the horror stories you see on t.v.

3. Are you sentimental? Do you keep the things other people give you?
I call it being sentimental, my family calls it being a pack rat. lol I tend to keep everything people give me for as long as I can. I just like to keep the memories and it’s easier to remember when you have something tangible to see and touch.

4. As a child, what were your primary interests?
I was a bit of a tomboy actually. I used to love going outside to ride my bike and make mud pies. I loved worms and dirt and sand. But I also loved to read books and if I couldn’t play outside I’d always have a book in my hand.

5. What are your top 3 guilty pleasures?
1. I looooove HGTV and Food Network. I never cook anything or do any of the projects but I just love to watch all of the shows and see how they do it. I keep promising myself that one day I will at least try to do something I’ve seen on one of those channels.
2. Movie soundtracks and musical songs. I have a whole playlist on my iPod just for soundtracks from movies (usually Disney) and musicals (my favorite at the moment is Sweeney Todd). I just love them and they are so easy to sing along to.
3. Young Adult Novels. I just love them! I still read Harry Potter and every time I hit up the bookstore I have to stop by the YA section to see if anything new has come out. I plan to never grow up.

And here is another round of Gala’s Curious Tuesday. I’m really loving this!

1. What are you most excited for RIGHT NOW? My introduction to book challenges. I had no idea about these things before and now it’s like I’m obsessed with them. I joined a whole bunch and I keep looking for more, like I’m actually going to be able to read all of those books.

2. Who is your style icon? What inspires your look? Honestly I don’t have a look right now. I’m very blah. But I’ve always loved Katherine Hepburn’s style. It was masculine yet chic and still feminine. She wore trousers and button down shirts and managed to look very glamorous. I strive to be like her.

3. If you could have dinner with anyone, alive or dead, who would you invite? Marilyn Monroe, I want to know what she was really like, not just what others though she was like.

4. What did you dress up as for your first Halloween? The first Halloween that I remember choosing my own costume I chose to be Belle from ‘Beauty and the Beast’. I loved that she was independent and wasn’t afraid to be different. She also loved to read like I do.

5. What are you improving? My finances. lol I’m trying to better about what I spend my money on as well as finally paying off all of my credit cards. I just finished paying off two of them, thank God.

Gala just blogged about something new she’s started called Curious Tuesday. Since I’m all out of inspiration I figured I’d give it a try. lol

1. What is the strangest compliment you’ve ever received? The strangest one I’ve heard is that I look that the cuter Mowry. (You know like Tia and Tamara plus they have a brother Tahj. It was fine, but they never specified which Mowry exactly, not even if it was one of the twins or the boy. So I took it as a compliment but to this day I’m still not sure I really want the answer. lol

2. What’s your little-known talent? I’m very good and patient at puzzles. I love them, even if I don’t have the time for them anymore. I used to do those 500 piece puzzles in just a few hours and those 3-d puzzles that were the rage for a while would consume me for like a week. I once did a 3-d puzzle of the Empire State Building that took me like two weeks, and only because it’s just a building of windows so every piece looked exactly the same. lol

3. What do you obsessively search for on eBay? Mostly cosmetics that can’t be bought in stores anymore or supplies that are cheaper on eBay. Hello, Urban Decay ‘Alice in Wonderland’ palette! I’m not really an eBay person though.

4. When you were a child, who did you worship & want to be like? Ariel, from ‘The Little Mermaid’ because I loved the water and never wanted to leave it. So I figured being a mermaid had to be the best thing in the world. It’s kind of ironic that now I don’t like to swim.

5. What was your palate band? Well I grew up overseas since my dad was in the military so I just listened to what my parents listened to which was oldies music and jazz. So The Temptations were always my favorite.
