Average American?

Well, I wouldn't like to think I was average at anything, but we shall have to see if that is true. The theory behind this meme I stole from you know who is that these are things that the average American does or has. I've struck the ones that do not apply.

  • Eats peanut butter at least once a week
  • Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky- well, doesn't everyone?
  • Can name all Three Stooges- yeah, but it's not like I enjoy having that information rattling around in my brain.
  • Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart -Without traffic. If it's at rush hour, well, it's off 494 by the Mall of Gomorrah and it's a bitch to get to. Besides, it's located in the hood and you'd have to pay me serious money to go there.
  • Eats at McDonald’s at least once a year-I would say that's probably about right. The only time we ever eat at McDonalds is when we're roadtripping somewhere. When the husband and I lived in Des Moines, because it wasn't a bustling Metropolis, we left town for the weekend quite a bit. Des Moines is intersected by I-35, which goes north-south, and I-80, which runs east-west. As a result of our constant mid-90's roadtrips, I am able to tell you, in every direction on those two interstates, where every McDonald's is located.
  • Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day- If not longer because I'm doing super secret GIRL stuff in the shower.
  • Never sings in the shower

  • Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium I wish this weren't the case.
  • Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000
  • Has fired a gun- Don't want to, either, because they scare the hell out of me. That doesn't mean I'm going to begrudge someone else, though.
  • Is between 5 feet and 6 feet tall- -5'6"

  • Weighs 135 to 205 pounds -like I'm going to announce that on the internet. Pfft. We'll just say it's closer to the lower end of the scale.
  • Is between the ages of 18 and 53
  • Believes gambling is an acceptable entertainment option- but surprisingly enough, I have absolutely NO desire to rush right off to Vegas
  • Grew up within 50 miles of current home-it's a little over 400 miles away
