Hello, and happy timezones, Kind Friends! I have really been enjoying your responses to my “Get to Know You” posts!
So, without further ado, here is round 12:
- What’s a movie you can practically quote from start to finish?
- What is something unique about yourself that I would never guess?
- What’s the most useless talent you have?
- If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
- What’s your favorite word?
I shall leave my answers here:
- There are two: The Wizard of Oz, and Clue
- From a young age, I was trained in classical music with the goal of singing professionally. I practiced 2-4 hours every day after school, and took lessons. After high school, I toured the U.S. in a band, and I’ve sung the National Anthem twice before Detroit Tigers games.
- I remember odd facts that mean nothing. lol Usually, it’s things about movies or books. Things most people wouldn’t care to know. lol
- I would like to learn to play the violin.
- Grace
And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, that is totally fine, there is no pressure. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting!

Christmas Vacation is the first one that comes to mind, but there are others.
Can’t really think of anything unique right now.
My useless talent is knowing where Diet Coke machines are located around town.
I always wanted to learn to play the cello.
Serendipity.
Hey Kymber!
Your story is awesome & I would love to hear your rendition of the National Anthem.
What’s a movie you can practically quote from start to finish? Gladiator
What is something unique about yourself that I would never guess? I didn’t know what INFJI back when I first saw your profile. I googled it, took a personality test, and my result was ENFJ
What’s the most useless talent you have? Learning how to annoy people, I have it down to an artform
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be? Singing, I would love to be able to sing
What’s your favorite word? Decadence
Best wishes to you & happy holidays!
I have seen wizard of ozz…..dont think I seen clue? you def lived a life! I love that you toured the US and sung the national anthem. Do you have a video of that? I would LOVE to hear and see that!
My answers:
Movie I can quote: Im not sure about movies I can quote but I def can quote scenes from Smallville! Yup! I could probably play Chloe in a reboot.lol
Something unique about myself? I can replicate Mariahs whistle tone. I know nobody can actually sound as good as Mariah but I use to listen to her whistle tones all the time and try to copy them because my voice allows me to hit very high and low notes.
Useless talent? I can fart really good with my hands….its so ridiculous but every time someone asks me to do it I laugh
If I could learn to do anything? It would be to sing! I feel like I have a decent tone to my voice and I can get it very low and high but I sound absolutely terrible lol. I would love to get a vocal coach and see what I could actually do. I also LOVE hiphop dancing, I would LOVE to learn that but I have 0 coordination to dance
Favorite word? its def a curse word that I cant say on here lol
Movie quotes: The Princess Bride
Unique me: I can play the harmonica.
Useless talent: Playing the harmonica—I’m only good enough to entertain myself. Ha
Learn: play piano – I can’t read music. Many teachers have given up in abject frustration trying to teach me.
Favorite word: Comeuppance
The Sound of Music (shows how old I am, I guess!)
I can speak some Haida language (and French, too…)
Ummm….. mind going blank when faced with questions like this?!?! LOL!
Learn to speak French fluently
Hocus pick!
What’s a movie you can practically quote from start to finish?
“Zac & Miri Make a Porno” — it’s just the funniest movie ever. My husband and I will randomly quote from it now and again.
I love your choice “Wizard of Oz.” I had a cute idea of remaking it, using my cat Sammy as Toto and calling him “PawPaw” LOL!
What is something unique about yourself that I would never guess?
That I can sing Queen’s “Let Us Cling Together” in Japanese. I once recited it to a Japanese man who was having a birthday party in a Japanese restaurant. He said, “I love you” and sent cake to our table.
What’s the most useless talent you have?
I can recite all the songs of Queen’s first five albums, in order, and tell you who wrote them. Another useless talent is that I have a super loud whistle.
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Speak Spanish. I keep promising myself with each new year I’d take lessons. I’m just so afraid of failure.
What’s your favorite word?
Chinchilla. Not only is is a beautiful animal, but it rolls off your tongue so cutely.
Many years ago I worked at a musical instrument store and had way too much coffee.
I was running around the store saying, “Chinchilla! Chinchilla!” LOL!
This is from Maryanne, not anonymous xo
The Godfather 2. Not sure. 3. I can do a sustained impression of Rowan Atkinson saying Dikaiopolis’ lines in The Acharnians. It has very limited appeal. 4. Fly a plane. 5. apocalyptic
This is fun.
I’m impressed – singing has always been top of my list of talents that I unfortunately not possess. I often remember odd things, too, like fun facts instead of dates and other boring things you’re supposedly needing to know 🙂 The violin must be one of the hardest instruments to master, and one of the most enjoyable to listen to – classical, Irish and even Swedish folk music. I guess the piano is easier, but still hard if you aim to become any good. I just want to be able to play for my own pleasure, better invest in a keyboard and follow some tutorials on YouTube to get there!
What’s a movie you can practically quote from start to finish?
It would be Dirty Dancing – “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!”, “There are a lot of things about me that aren’t what you thought. But if you love me, you have to love all the things about me.” But it’s the music that got me hooked, and I even sing along to the non verbal parts!
What is something unique about yourself that I would never guess?
I hold my liquor pretty well (probably my Swedish origin, lol). Most guys usually gave up trying to pick me up offering me drinks, it got way too expensive 😉
What’s the most useless talent you have?
I can click my tongue really hard, and I mean really! Sounds like you’re popping a bottle of bubbly.
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Playing the piano is within reach, but I what I would like most of all is being able to sing.
What’s your favorite word?
Delicious!
That’s most impressive you sang the National Anthem twice before Detroit Tigers games.
I don’t have a movie I can quote from start to finish but my favorite movie is Dirty Dancing.
Most people don’t know I was lost at sea for three days and rescued by the Navy – USS Oliver Hazard Perry. The ship was launched Sept. 25, 1976 and was on its maiden voyage when we were found. There were 6 of us in a 22 ft boat that ran out of gas, but filled just before we left the dock in Ft Lauderdale, FL so obviously something went wrong. We were found 12 miles off the coast of New Smyrna Beach, FL. Since the frigate was too large for the port in New Smyrna, we were transferred to a Coast Guard rescue boat and brought to land. We all kissed the ground when we had our feet firmly on the ground.
I would like to learn a foreign language. I took Spanish and French years ago but don’t remember much of either one.
