Ice Breaker Questions and Answers

I thought it would be fun to do a little get to know me ice breaker questions and answers. I found some questions on the internet regarding vulnerability and thought why not try it. Obviously these questions will not give a complete overview of Sheri. However, they may help as a way to connect especially when you are meeting with someone new. I consider them as a way to break the ice.

Ice Breaker Questions and Answers

Dine and Dash at a Restaurant?

  1. Have you ever Dine and Dashed at a Restaurant? I would have to say, no I have not. I started working in a seafood restaurant when I was 12yrs old. When I was in high school, I would go to work at 6am bussing tables at a breakfast nook and by 3 pm I would walk across the street and work in the seafood restaurant until 11pm. Understanding the hustle and bustle of cooking and feeding people, I did not feel it ever necessary to dine somewhere and then dash without paying for the service.

Marching band or Debate Team?

2. Would you rather have been in the Marching band or the Debate team in school? It is safe to say that I was in the band and on the debate team. I played the flute in 7th & 8th grade as part of the band. I was on the debate team in Jr. High and was on the Mock Trail Team in 9th and 10th grade.

Want to know how you are going to die?

3.If you could find out how you were going to die, would you want to know? I do not want to know, however I already have a feeling that I know how I am going to die. When I was little, I would have this dream that was buried alive in a wooden box. As I got older it became clear to me that I will die of suffocation. I still think about it now with the asthma and just wanting oxygen.

Steal or Shoplifted?

4.What was the last thing you stole or shoplifted. I guess you could say the last thing I stole was someone’s heart. Other than that, I am not into stealing and have never shop lifted. I have a habit of getting caught.

Vacation in Mexico or Alaska?

5. Would you rather vacation in Mexico or Alaska, and Why? I would love to visit Alaska, but I would prefer to vacation in Mexico. Their is something about the style and the feeling I get when it comes to Mexico. For instance, I have only been to Tijuana. When I was 18, I moved out to Arizona. This was 3 days after graduation to live with my dad, step mom and little brother. While I was out there, my homegirl was in California for a convention. Basically, I decided to take a bus to meet her in San Diego.

While we were there, we decided to venture to Tijuana. The first time we went, we went to a bar, got drunk and I rode a mechanical bull. I believe I also danced to AC/DC’s “Shook me all night long” on the dance floor by myself. We did not drink the water, so the only thing we drank was alcohol. The second time we went there (the next day basically), we went with a few friends from the military. From what I remember of the night, we went to a nightclub. I also remember making out with one of the guys we went with and then later he told me he was married. Fun times and good memories.

Like or Dislike Surprises?

6. Do you like or dislike surprises? I like surprises but they make me cry. I would prefer to know about the surprise so I can be prepared for it. I think surprises give me anxiety. That’s probably because I don’t have any control over it.

Ride a bike, a horse or drive a car?

7. Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse or drive a car? I would prefer to ride a bike. I have ridden a horse. I rode one at the Grand Canyon. My dad took me riding when he brought me to the Canyon for my very first visit. I can’t remember if I rode a horse when I was younger. The woman we lived with at one time in my life, worked at a stable and won a ton of ribbons for horse riding. I can’t remember if she took us riding or not. Her family owned a stable and that part of my life is a little blurred. Obviously I drive a car, but since I am prone to accidents, I prefer to ride a bike.

The tallest building you have been to the top in?

8. What’s the tallest building you have been to the top in? I would have to say the tallest building I have been in is the Empire State Building in New York City. I would visit New York City as a kid with my great aunts who lived there. They took us to the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Broadway plays. I did go on a girls trip a few years ago and I wanted to go back up to the top, but we didn’t make it since we were partying too much. My girlfriends did however, take a picture of me in front of the entrance. My girls are funny, they knew I really wanted to go up to the top but we didn’t have time. We made a compromise hence, the picture of me at the bottom entrance.

How Did I travel to Block Island?

Our day tripping adventure to Block Island all started when we decided to take the Block Island Ferry regular trip which was only like $23 round trip. Not bad of a price since its like $11.50 each way or estimated @$10 each way (I prefer to think I spent less on the trip, lol. Of course you can take the fast ferry which gets you there in only a 1/2 hour but the prices were double and I prefer to use my money wisely and enjoy the ride. Of course we have options to take private boats but sometimes it’s fun to be a tourist in your own hometown. It was a gorgeous day for day tripping.

Where Is Block Island?

Block Island is an island off the coast of Rhode Island and it takes just about an hour by boat to get there from Pt. Judith, RI. It is also east of Montauk Point, Long Island. You can take a boat from New London, CT, Pt. Judith, RI and Newport, RI if you wish. As an alternative option, I believe they also have a small airport for those who would like to fly into the island. I actually thought about sky-diving onto the Island. Just kidding, but hey it could be an option, you never know.

How was Block Island Named?

In history they tell us that the The Island was named after Dutch explorer Adriaen Block who named it after himself when he sailed to the island in 1614. Hence the name Block Island. However, the first inhabitants of Block Island were the Native American Indians. Specifically, The Niantics who eventually merged with The Narragansett Indian Tribe. Their is evidence that dates back over thousands of years which can be learned on the Block Island Historical website (https://blockislandhistorical.org). The Natives called the Island “Manisses” which means “Island of the Little God”.

Why Did I take a Day Trip to Block Island?

Day tripping to Block Island was a way for me and my sister and girl friends to take an excursion in just one day. Our agenda included:

  • Eating at Poor Man’s Pub for lunch
  • Drinking a cocktail or two at The Yellow Kitten and Ballard’s
  • Dancing and Swimming at Ballard’s Beach
  • Shopping
  • Watching an Amazing Sunset over the ocean
  • Meeting new people from different places
  • Singing “Hey Jude” by The Beatles as we entered Block Island Sound
  • Stress Free Rejuvenation Day

We were lucky to watch the sun setting in the distance. Pictures do not do it justice and it literally took our breaths away even for that moment in time.
