Tell us about them. Hmm in the last year I have met a ton of people from Epinions. To single any one person out would cause some hurt feelins prolly... Well ok... I am gonna name one, and everyone has to understand that he is like a son to me now... (even though he puked all over my bathroom...) Mikey is the bestest ever. Technically, I saw him at the NY meet-n-greet a year and a half ago, but we didn't get a chance to actually meet. Last May he came down and stayed at my house for his birthday, with several of his EpiFriends and the rest, as they say, is history. He is also one of my daughter's best friends now too. #2: Was there a TV show you saw for the first time in 2004 – perhaps 2004 was it’s first season – that you now absolutely love? Hmmmm not real big on TV since the X-Files dropped Duchovney way back when... I adore Family Guy but I started watching that before.... this year... this year... OOH yeah! Gilmore Girls. I love that show! #3: Tell us about the best movie you saw last year. It doesn’t have to be one that was released last year, just as long as you saw it for the first time in 2004. If possible, include a link to your review of it. Ok... I'm fickle about movies so I'll have to give you my top ten list here: http://www.epinions.com/content_4225867908 #4: How about the worst movie you saw last year? Is there one that sticks out a mile – perhaps you wrote a scathing review on it. Of the ones released in 2004.. it would have to be Closer. Totally did not live up to the hype. #5: Was there an event that you wish people would just shut up about already? Ok.. Dean's own answer to this one echoes my own feelings so I'ma be lazy and just quote him: The Janet Jackson boob incident. Yes, OK people, it’s a breast. They’re perfectly natural, all women have them or have had at one stage. There’s no need to make a big deal. It slipped out – it’s not like she paraded around the stage topless. Get over it. #6: Was there a worldwide event that left you wondering what the world is coming to? The election...... nuff said #7: Similarly, was there a worldwide event that made you happy? Can't think of a damn thing at the moment . #8: What were the best and worst albums you heard last year? I don't listen to music very often. Mainly only when I'm driving, and then I always manage to miss who sang what on this new fangled stuff. heh #9: Which musician / band disappointed you? See above. #10: Are there any writers who were newbies in 2004 that you highly recommend we read? My daughter! http://www.epinions.com/user-spazure #11: What was the most significant event of the year? Losing Nick #12: Do you think your life is on the right track for where you want to end up? How did 2004 affect this? No. #13: Was there anything else significant about 2004 you’d like to add? I'm back in size 5/6! HUZZAH! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go here to join. Come on... give Dean some lovin... http://www.epinions.com/content_4227309700
