okay - a few more questions have straggled in (feel free to email more!!! i am enjoying this!!!)
debs asks:
1. What is your favorite food?
the potato. seriously! any way you make it, i am a fan... if you're talking what my favourite meal is... i think meatloaf with mashed potatoes and french cut string beans... although i do love my baked ziti.... and i love mom's yorkshire pudding... wait, i also love making nana's chicken dumpling soup... dammit, it's dinner time right now and i am bloody starving... so perhaps i should talk myself into saying that lean cuisine's three cheese chicken is my favourite? *sigh* man, i do love potatoes au gratin though...
2. What celebrity do you admire the most and why? [throwing a double]
i adore katherine hepburn. very strong woman... and she was kick ass beautiful
3. Biggest epiphany moment in the last ten years?
last ten years? hmmmm will have to get back to you on this... might have been when fat matt tried to force me to eat pork chop ettouffee and i said "what the hell am i doing in the relationship!? i deserve better than this schmuck"
Michael asks:
1) What do you get out of blogging and has the reason changed over time?
ah i started blogging because i (as i'd said in a previous post) had the "rants" section... i guess i am a bit of a verbal exhibitionist... sort of like performing comedy but without having to get out of my pajamas (even though 90% of the time i whine). the reason really hasn't changed... i still thrive on any ounce of attention i can get :)
2) Who is your favorite comedian of all time?
very tough question... tough...
bill cosby holds up very well (especially after he hugged me and said "godspeed" to me at my college graduation)... used to love carlin - but it's gotten stale... seinfeld he's up there... i used to adore janeane garafalo... but now she kinda annoys me (not enough to qualify for the question to follow)
3) Who annoys you more than anyone?
oh... crap... hmmmm... specifically or what traits of people... i can totally name kinds of people... people who snap the effing gum loud as hell - especially on the train or in work... people who fidget and tap their fingers or pencils on a desk when i am trying to code.... people who IM me and use those abbreviations like "how old ru?" - that's just the beginning... folks who ride my ass on the parkway when i am doing 85 and then they flash their high beams... bite me... that's when i step on the brakes... bastards. okay - my blood pressure is rising... thanks.
1. what one thing that you have always wanted to do, but the time just wasn't right for it?
hmmmmm... write and illustrate a children's book... that's been my dream... but as a procrastinator who sits on her ass and let's fear stop her from some things, i haven't done it yet.
2. what do you see when you look under the bed?
empty diet dr. pepper can... it's gone now, thanks... oh and some dust... that's still there
3. was there a major relationship in your life that you wish you could have turned out differently?
red headed bill... we broke up in 94... great guy - am still friends with him... still flirt.... still talk... still kiss when we see each other... still annoy the crap out of each other within an hour... but if he didn't travel for work and a few other issues, we'd probably have been hitched by now.
1. What was your happiest moment in the last ten years?
in the last 10 years.... eh... gosh... i could say it's been at a cowboy mouth show... but that's a given... but let's see... something more substantial... i think it would have to be on the rooftop of my old ceo's penthouse in the city... adeo lived next door to lou reed on w. 11th st... and the methodfive kids and i were all up there drinking cosmopolitans and champagne... that was in june of 2000... warm summer evening... city rooftop... good friends... good view.... good life...
2. Who would you most like to be stuck on a deserted island with for 6 months (male or female -- explanation is required)?
good god. 6 months? that's about the average length of most of my relationships... um... that's a tough one... can i say the CMB to make his life a living hell? heh.. no... hmmmm... i'd have to say a guy (for obvious reasons) and it'd be the other RHB... nah, wait, he'd get major sunburn and peel... and annoy me after 2 days... and i don't think he would handle camping in the outdoors very well... i'd say my aformention red headed bill, but only one person would be leaving the island... jeezuz... who the hell have i dated that hasn't annoyed the living shite out of me? drawing a blank. i am an only child and i guess the thought of being trapped with someone who breathes incessantly scares the crap out of me... fantastic question - now i realize i have committment issues. damn. have i sidestepped answering this question well enough?
3. When ya comin' to Chicago?
would like to soon! was only in o'hare airport once then had to take a cab to oakbrook center mall where i was at a meeting for 8 hours, took photos, then hopped back on a plane. but i wanna check out chicago....... soon! i think i would love it out there.
