As a big-time sucker for surveys, when Erin tagged me in the 11 Questions Survey, I immediately wanted to participate. I always enjoy reading surveys on blogs since the questions are typically a bit obscure and provide a little insight into the blogger’s personality.
Feel free to play along in the comments section of this post!
The 11 Questions Survey
1. In baseball each player gets a “walk up song” that plays on his way up to the plate. What song would you pick?
I would pick the Jock Jams Mega Mix. Our wedding party was introduced to the Jock Jams Mega Mix at our wedding reception and it never fails to pump me up. I’m a ‘90s music lover through and through.
2. What’s the best thing that happened to you last weekend?
I went on a five-mile walk with my sister, Sadie and her boyfriend’s dog and we talked about everything under the sun. The weather was gorgeous and I always cherish time with my sister. It’s the little things!
3. If you could have a starring role in any film already made, which movie would you pick?
Since Father of the Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies, I’d love to play the role of Annie Banks Mackenzie.
4. What actor/actress would you have play you in a movie of your life?
Rachel McAdams. I know we look nothing alike, but she’s my pick!
5. What is your favorite quote?
Everything is okay in the end. If it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.
7. What was your first concert?
Green Day and Blink 182… I think. I can’t remember for sure, but that was definitely one of the first concerts I attended.
7. What Internet website do you visit the most?
Gmail.
8. Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you the best and why?
Happy. I think I’m a pretty joyful person.
9. If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
A huge seafood feast with ridiculous amounts of shellfish, a French dip sandwich from Houston’s (now Hillstone) in Orlando, a slice of lasagna and a gigantic ice cream sundae with lots of whipped cream, hot fudge and candied pecans. I would want a smorgasbord.
10. What is the background of your computer?
Sadie. She makes me smile.

Cheesy but my computer background is a picture of my family & I- makes me smile :)!
I love reading surveys, too! Great pick for actress to play you in a movie. Can she play me, too? I love Rachel McAdams!

2. Someone short with blonde long hair, green eyes, freckles…..
3 .People who love to eat are the best people – Julia Child
4. Muse, nearly three years ago. Support was Biffy Clyro.
5. My dog, named Floortje, even though she’s old she still is my baby 🙂
I’m such a sucker for surveys! I love them!
My first concert was a radio concert – the B96 Summer Bash but I went mostly because I wanted to see O-Town… 😉
B96!!! I miss Chicago!
Great survey – I love reading these! I can’t even remember my first concert…maybe Britney Spears! lol!
Favorite quote – “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever” -Winnie the Pooh 🙂
1.It isn’t a film but I’d love to be Pam in The Office…I think we have similar senses of humor and obviously I want John Krasinski to be my lover.
2. Maybe Amy Adams or Cameron Diaz 😉
3. I have lots of favorite quotes but I’m particularly fond of this one “Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themeselves”
4. Brooks/Dunn and Sarah Evans in Palatka with Kari Floyd and Randi
5. On my personal computer it is a picture of John and me. On my work computer I have a list of 21 suggestions for success
– I would probably pick being Black Widow or Cat Woman, just so I could train for the moves that they have to do. Or Quorra from Tron!
– I’d probably pick Anne Hathaway, or a brunetter Blake Lively. Anne because she kind of looks like me, and Blake because I’ve always loved her!
– “You were born to be real, not to be perfect”
– First concert = Rascal Flatts; first one I truly enjoyed? Jack’s Mannequin *heart melts*
– Right now its just a “galaxy star” picture from the one’s you can pick in the MacBook operating system. I should change that soon…
I love Rachel McAdams too. She’s one of my favorite actresses!
The background of my computer screen, home and work, is a tiger. This one in particular: http://cinematicpassions.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/creek-crossing-bengal-tiger.jpg I found the picture back in 2006 and it has been the background of all my computers since!! I just love it!!
My favorite quote is “Everything in moderation, including moderation!”
I am sorry I have to say Twilight since the last movie opens tonight!!
Emma Stone, love her.
Right now – Worrying does not empty the troubles of tomorrow, it empties today of its strength.
I cannot remember… with my husband it was Nickleback but I went to others before that.
Plain old blue… boring I know. I should change that today!
1. I’d want to be Brad Pitt’s character in Inglorious Basterds. I’m a girl, so this makes zero sense, but I think it’s a totally underrated, hilarious character!
2. Everyone tells me I look just like Julia Stiles…
3.”Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it” – Roald Dahl
4. Elton John ’cause I was a super cool kid, obviously.
5. A picture of my dog when he was a puppy. It makes me smile!
love this survey!! I love Jock Jams Mega mix, its amazing! My computer background at work is my puppy and at home me, my boyfriend and my puppy!
Like you, I am a huge Rachel McAdams fan so I would want her or Reece Witherspoon to play me in a movie of my life! 🙂 in keeping with the theme, I would have loved to have played Allie in The Notebook…having Ryan Gosling as my love interest would not be considered ‘work’ to me! Ha ha 🙂
Love this survey Julie, hope your trip is going well:) and secondly I want to steal all your clothes , like NOW lol. Here I go:
1. I would have to pick Avatar, I would like to see myself as a weird blue skin colored cartoon lol
2. In a movie of my life, I would like Halle Berry to play me, the woman is in her late 40’s and looks fierce, and many say I look like her too!
3. My favorite quote: “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
4. My first concert: N/A, never been to one, something always happens:((
5. The background of my computer at the moment is a beautiful fall scenery, it just sets the mood:)
Hope you have a great day Julie!!
p.s that icecream sundae….. I dieeeee, put me on death row if this will be my last meal lol
My favorite quote is: Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
I keep it on the desktop of my work computer to see every day! 🙂
Julie, just wanted to see whatever happened to the pbfingers tshirts? I would love to have one!!!!
1) I’d play Jane Foster (Natalie Portman’s character in Thor). A beautiful, extremely smart scientist who gets the oh so handsome Norse God in the end? Sign me up!
2) I would have Tina Fey play me in a movie about my life. She is absolutely amazing and would make me seem way more hilarious than I am in real life!
3) Fav. quote: “If you have a problem that can be fixed, then there is no need to worry. If you have a problem that cannot be fixed, then there is no help in worrying.”
4) First concert: N’SYNC. My friends and I went in a limo and everything.. we were the coolest 12 year olds in the world that night.
5) My current desktop is grumpy cat. I can’t get enough of that little guy.
I would also pick Rachel McAdams even though I look nothing like her, I just love her! Father of the Bride Part 2 is pretty much my all time favorite movie, and I would pick Montell Jordan – This is How we Do it. It’s somehow become known as my signature jam, probably because I’m also obsessed with the 90’s!
I’m writing this as I listen to Jock Jams MegaMix! 🙂 Thanks for including that link to YouTube.
My computer background is kind of a game in our house. My two teenagers are constantly changing it to what they want. I have pretty much given up!
One of my favorite quotes is:
For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.
—Evelyn Underhill
I love these surveys! Definitely agree – they obscurity of the questions definitely help the readers get a glimpse of the blogger’s personality (beyond what they post everyday). I think I might have to steal it 😉
I love surveys!
1. I would pick Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborn. But only the beginning of it. I’ve been saying this for years..I think I just need to have it playing when I walk around.
2. Last weekend? I did The Color Run for the first time and it was probably the most fun I’ve ever had. I will definitely be making it an annual thing.
3. I’d probably choose being Black Widow in Avengers. I know she isn’t the “star” but I’ve never been one to want attention so I’d rather be in an ensemble. It means I’d get to get my body in tip-top shape AND meet Chris Evans. I’m game for all of the above!
4. Jessica Chastain. However, looks-wise..definitely Leelee Sobieski. Apparently we are twins.
5. It’s a toss up between what my dad always says “What will be will be” or “Be still and know that I am God.” ..both are very comforting to me.
6. Mark Chesnut at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo when I was 9
7. Yahoo.
8. Sleepy. I’m ALWAYS tired but rarely sleep. I also just hate sleeping. I like to be awake. I’m up at 5 every day. I have to go to bed early to do that but if I could stay up till midnight AND get up at 5, I’d be happy.
9. Squealer with onion rings and a vanilla Dr. Pepper from Tookies..the BEST burger place down here
10. Work: a picture of my neice and nephew. Personal: A picture of me and one of my best friends stopping mid-Color Run in front of the Houston skyline.
nothing very very good or very very bad ever lasts very very long!
These are hard to pick! I actually can’t think of an actress to play me… But my first concert was Corey Smith my freshman year of college!
I LOVE Father of the Bride. I practically have it memorized I have seen it so many times! And I could totally see you playing Annie haha
Father of the Bride 1 and 2 are such good movies! I could totally see you in that movie. I’m glad you liked the survey, have a great time with Reebok today!
I would pick Rachel McAdams too ahha only cause so many people say I look like her haha
■If you could have a starring role in any film already made, which movie would you pick? Probably 27 Dresses. Already the story of my life. 🙂
■What actor/actress would you have play you in a movie of your life? Emma Stone
■What is your favorite quote? “Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised” Proverbs 31:30
■What was your first concert? Carmen, a Christian singer, when I was about nine. I don’t go to many, though.
■What is the background of your computer? Some abstract wallpaper that came with my computer. It used to be Hunger Games, but I lost all of my pictures when I had to put my computer back on factory settings a few months ago. 🙁
Oh, I am *so* reposting this survey–love me a good Q&A post. I think Katherine Heigl would play me in a movie about my life; she my celebrity doppelganger. 🙂
I love surveys too!!
1. I would love to play Hermione in Harry Potter or Katniss in The Hunger Games. I can’t get enough of either of those series!!
2. I would love Emma Stone to play me. She’s so funny 🙂
3. Favorite quote: Be happy for this moment, this moment is your life.
4. N’sync!!
5. A picture of a baby giraffe….haha I don’t know why, it’s just cute!!
1. Probably When Harry Met Sally. It’s my favorite movie of all time!
2. I think I would pick Emma Stone. We don’t look alike, but she just seems like such a down to earth, “regular” girl.
3.”Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt
4. 🙂 I think it was Crystal Gayle!
5. It’s a beautiful fall picture of the church where my husband and I were married.
I love Rachel McAdams! She is one of my all-time favorite actresses. So I would definitely pick her…or maybe Reese Witherspoon.
My first concert (at least the first memorable concert, that is) that I attended was a Spice Girls concert. I was absolutely obsessed with the group and I felt so lucky to be able to go. I remember all of my friends were pretty jealous! Now I just wish that I could have gone to one of their reunion shows a few years back…I would have died!
The background of my computer is a Kansas State University wallpaper…my current grad school. Go wildcats!
1. My students are currently reading Pride and Prejudice, and we just watched in it class. I would love to play Elizabeth and dress up in all the old clothes and pretend to be from that time.
2. Amanda Seyfried. I am told I look like her all the time.
3. I could never pick one quote! I love songs and books way to much.
4. Even though I am 25, I am very proud of this answer. My first concert was STYX with my dad. He started my music taste off right. Although, many of my friends think it’s weird I have the music taste of a 50 year old man.
5. My background is one of my wedding photos. We got married on the very top of a mountain, and you can see nothing but mountains and sky behind us.
I know you’re a Hautelook fan so question for you….do you how often they bring back their events? I bought a watch from Jules & James back in August that I LOVE and I want another one but I haven’t seen them back on Hautelook. I also can’t find another place to purchase Jules & James watches. Do you know of any other places? In-store or online?
1) I’d have to go with Wedding Crashers. I would love the role of Claire ( and it helps that it’s my name, too!)
2) Blake Lively. LOVE her.
3) “Everything happens for a reason”.
4)Backstreet Boys…I was all about Nick Carter.
5) My momma and I! It’s one of my favorite pictures ever!
Have fun in Boston!!
I love all of these! Can I just say how beautiful your wedding dress was and how happy you look? Oh, and the picture of you and your sister is gorgeous! Love both of your outfits 🙂
That is definitely pretty close to my last meal too- with extra whipped cream for the sundae 🙂
I like this quiz, so many fun facts! I am going to have to save this one for a rainy day for sure. Big Jock Jams fan right here!
Fun!
1. I would say Emma Stone’s character in ‘Crazy, Supid, Love’ purely for the moment when Ryan Gosling lifts her up Dirty Dancing Style!
2. I would also choose Emma Stone (we look absolutely nothing alike), she’s fab!
3. “To have joy, one must share it. Happiness was born a twin”.
4. First concert was Destiny’s Child (during Beyonce’s afro hair stage).
5. Our first kiss from our wedding is my display pic. Makes me so happy!
Have fun at Reebok, sounds like a blast!
When I was younger, Father of the Bride pt 2 was my favorite movie. I think I rented it every time we went to the video store.

“The past can hurt – but the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.”
– The Lion King!
Aww I also have a picture of my dog, Mac, on my computer background… don’t they just brighten your day??
(And random question, did you get rid of the “You might also like” section at the bottom of your posts? I love browsing your related posts but it’s not showing up anymore, although my computer has been doing some bizarre things lately. Either way not a big deal, just curious! 🙂
Very cute! Did I miss something though? Wasn’t it supposed to be 11 questions? I only see 10. Maybe I’m wrong though 🙂 Oh, and you have two number 7s. Sorry! Catching little details like that is literally what I do alllll day 🙂 Sounds fun doesn’t it?
Love these! 1. I usually have a motivational quote as my background…gets me inspired!
2. I’ve never thought of an actress to play me…she’d have to be a redhead, whoever she is!

Hey Julie! Question for you. I’ve been keeping up with your book readings on your blog and such. I’m looking for a book for my mom and I to read together. Something lighthearted and easy to read. From all the books you’ve reviewed, which would you recommend? Thanks!
