Living arrangement.
In a three bedroom rowhouse with three cats that are polite enough not
to charge me rent and two dogs that prefer their pillows fluffed,
thankyouverymuch!

What book are you reading now?

African Folklore - can't remember the person who wrote it.
Bluemoon -Hamilton
A "book" on Welfare Reform that was given to me by another non-profit
org. It reads like someone was on drugs, which they probably were.

mini-garden after it has rained - earthy and green. Fresh brewed
coffee. Leather.

"Wow, you look/smell good ttoday."
"Coffee is ready."
My nephew saying my name.

coasters. Wicked.

Don't have my license.

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?

Think? People actually think in the morning? Amazing. Well I do wonder
about the person that invented alarm clocks. I would like to hurt
them. I also wonder why my limbs are numb then I see that I have a zoo
in my bed.

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?

No I prefer real ones.

Storms - cool or scary?

There storms - not scary or cool.

If you could meet one person dead or alive?

Agreed ! I've been debating whether or not to get
another Wacom tablet (I have one on my graphics
machine) or an optical mouse... the decision is
as tough as whether or not to go with pink or
mauve lipstick ! ;-)

a picture!

Living arrangement.
With my mother, 2 older brothers and 2 cats.

What book are you reading now?

None right now, but last one was "How to wash your face" by Dr. Kenet.



What's on your mouse pad?

Gateway mouse on the Gateway cowprint mousepad.

Favorite board game
Candyland!

Favorite magazine?
Marie Claire/Allure/Vogue...I think combined they're the ultimate mag!

Favorite smells?
Winter air, home-baked goodies.

Favorite sounds?
Any cat purring or playing "crazy cat", Radiohead's The Bends.



Worst feeling in the world?

I'd say the past two days...feels like a constant panic attack.

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
I try to avoid mornings. If I do wake up in the morning I'm thinking of
when I'll be able to go back to sleep.

Roller coaster scary or exciting?

Fun and exciting as long as they're not the upside down loopy dee
loop/vomit comet kind! lol



How many rings before you answer the phone?

Two....let the machine get it if it's in the morning.

Future daughters' name?
I have no idea.

Chocolate or vanilla?
Vanilla

Do you like to drive fast?

Sometimes...my car usually can't handle anything over 70 mph.

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?

No, just a live kitty, sometimes two.

Storms - cool or scary?

Cool to watch, scary to be out in.



What type was your first car?

Same one I drive now...Toyota Corolla: my little buddy.



If you could meet one person dead or alive?

Dead: relatives who've passed on. Alive: Tino Martinez and Derek
Jeter...ok, DJ...Tino's a married man!

Alcoholic drink?
Strawberry Daiquiri...but no more than one, otherwise I turn into a
belligerent drunk. ;)


What is your zodiac sign?

Scorpio



Do you eat the stems of broccoli?

Yeah, but not because I like them.

If you could have any job you wanted what would it be?

Fashion designer or makeup artist...anything creative or fun.

If you could dye your hair any color?

Anything extreme: blue-black, bleach blond or fiery redhead. I always worry
that my haircolor should look natural, I wish I could be more daring. Hot pink
would be cool too!

Is the glass half empty or half full?

Half empty.

Favorite movies?
Rainman, Naked Gun, When Harry Met Sally

Do you type with your fingers on the right keys?

Yes...on the separate numeric keypad? no.



What's under your bed?

Shoes, dustbunnies and occasionally a cat.

> Do you eat the stems of broccoli?

Broccoli is evil.

Half empty.

> Favorite movies?
Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, Dogma, Say

Pretty close. I've been typing for about 14 years. I learned to type
on the right keys in a high school typing class but quickly went
back to my own faster method.

> What's under your bed?

No bed really. I have a lovely futon. When the futon is in "couch"
position, I have my bedsheets underneath it.

this dictionary game sounds a little like the game Balderdash...
Someone reads aloud a word - then everyone has to make up a definition for it
At the end of each round, the first person reads all definitions aloud,
including the real one...then everyone has to vote for the one they think is
the real definition.
This IS my favorite game...it's hilarious, especially when you get as obnoxious
and obscene as we do! Sometimes the real definition is way more sick than any
of the ones we can ever come up with...highly recommend this one!!!
