But that's what everyone says, right? Ok, maybe I'd go back to 9th grade. That was a good year. A great year. Favorite candy Anything coconut. Also dark chocolate. And Rice Krispie treats. Favorite food White cake. With white icing. From a bakery. Favorite time of year Fall - I love the rain. Also winter. Also daylight savings in the fall where you get to sleep an extra hour. I love to sleep, it's one of my hobbies. Favorite holiday My birthday, April 23, which should be a national holiday. Favorite sport What is a "sport," again? Does that involve exercise? Favorite vacation Anywhere with my husband. Preferably English-speaking. Favorite thing I can't live without Oh god, I have so many things. Probably my laptop. Yeesh, what a boring answer. Could I be more dull? Favorite snack Cheetos, but I can't eat them very often because they turn into cast iron and attach themselves to my hips with titanium screws. Also Twinkies. Favorite cereal Cap'n Crunch. But see Cheetos note. Favorite movie God, I have so many. Probably The Graduate. Although Sound of Music and Gone with the Wind are right in there. Also Fargo. And Sunset Boulevard and All About Eve and Now, Voyager. Oh hell, my entire movie collection. I have about 100 movies now. Favorite current TV show Rock Star: INXS and The Cut. I love reality TV. I know, I'm a TV whore. Favorite gift to give Massage gift certificates. Favorite gift you ever got My swan chandelier and my first (and last) trip to Las Vegas. Both from my husband. Oh god, this is boring, isn't it? I'm boring myself. Geez, I'm supposed to be giving clever answers so everyone will buy my book. Favorite teacher My husband. I learn new things from him every day. Favorite time of day 11:00pm - 1:00am, when I'm reading and the house and world are quiet. Favorite thing to sleep in Our king-sized bed with as many cats as possible. Favorite astrological sign Why Taurus of course. Although I'm also partial to Virgos and seem to have a lot of Scorpios in my life. |
