If you had to choose, which would you rather have: herpes, a root canal, a computer virus, a colonoscopy, or a polygraph? A polygraph test...I've been studying for years. 2. If you could go back in time and do one thing over, what would it be? I think I would have done better in school (high school and finished college), but now realize part of my learning problems were due to being an undiagnosed hypothyroid. 3. If you could only have one food item and one drink for every meal for the next month, what would they be? Some kind of nut (not peanut) butter and jelly sandwiches and milk. You get your grains, fruit, protein and calcium right there. 4. What do you usually leave in - a Huff? a Tizzy? the bed of a beat-up pickup? a High Dudgeon or a stretch limo? What? I usually leave in a state of confusion. Nice to visit, but don't ever live there. 5. You open up a bottle and instead of beer, you get a jjin. Standard three wish deal. What do you wish for? (And the first person who says "World peace" will be tracked down like a dog, eviscerated, and strangled with his/her own intestines. You have been warned.) First wish: Three more wishes (just kidding). I'd wish for multiple housing (including houses, apartments, hotels, etc.) properties in California's Wine Country, along the coastline in Santa Barbara, in Beverly Hills and in Santa Clara...that's like hitting the Lotto right there. Second wish: Long and healthy lives for my family and dear ones (hopefully that would count as one wish); Third wish: Jeez, that's a good one...I'm not sure how I'd spend my third wish...I'd probably do something stupid like say, "God, I wish I knew where my keys were"! 6. You just inherited/won $1 Billion. What do you do for the next 24 hours? Call a lawyer, go straight to the state Lotto headquarters and disappear for a week to a tropical island somewhere while we figured out to do (and before all those "relatives" we never knew about started showing up). 7. Of all of the voices in your head, which is your favorite? The Drama Queen...she's an A-list actress that the (adoring) public just can't get enough of. 8. If you could attend your own funeral and give the eulogy, what would you say? In no particular order... To my brother: You need to grow up for God's sake & stop being so damned selfish...let go of the anger for once! To my sister-in-laws: You both are in need some serious help. You could open an outlet with all the emotional baggage you're carting around. To my mother: Thank you for raising us the best you knew how and I love you. To my mother-in-law: I don't know what you did differently with my husband, but he turned out the best of all your children...thank you for raising such a fine man. To my friends: Thank God for you...I think I would have gone crazy if I didn't have you in my life...you love me, warts & all. To my husband: I love you so much...thank you for being so patient, kind and understanding and for being there through the best and the worst. If you re-marry, make sure that she's ugly but has a wonderful personality. 9. Name an actor, performer, talking head, or public figure that you just can't stand. I can't stand Bobby Flay...that chef on Food TV. 10. You are leaving tomorrow for a 6-week stay in the 12th century. What do you pack? My Uggs, my jeans (I live in them), a light jacket, a heavy coat, umbrella, mace, maybe a gun, some art supplies, my digital camera of course (although recharging it might pose a problem, so I guess I'd have to pack an old-fashioned camera and tons of film, too), a tape recorder, deodarant, shampoo, soap, toothbrush/toothpaste, some Vicks Vap-o-Rub for my nostrils to help with bad odors (a trick that coroners sometimes use), Wet Wipes. 11. Name something small that really annoys you. Pollen and dust. I'm a magnet for them & I have severe allergies. 12. What's the bravest thing you have ever done? The closest thing to brave would be walking out on a job after two weeks because I couldn't stand my boss. It would have been easier to stay there and take it...I have this issue with "honor", I guess. But did it ever give me some satisfaction to hear the ex-boss' multiple answering machine messages, asking me if I was coming back or not (I enjoyed flipping the bird at the machine...it was a real "take this job and shove it" kind of thrill). 13. What is the dumbest thing you have ever done? I've done a million little things that can be safely classified as dumb...I think the last breakup I had was a dumb move on my part -the way I handled it could have been more adult...there were a lot of lies on my part & I thought I was somehow doing my ex-boyfriend a favor by deceiving him. He eventually found out...I just really regret treating someone I once really loved that way. All said, I don't regret ending the relationship...it was a one-way ticket to Nowheresville. 14. What assumptions do people make about you that are wrong? I'm pretty sure that people think I'm extremely dull. I'm quiet and suck at parties. I'm not bad-looking and I have intelligent, open and honest opinions. I just give off those uneasy, awkward, wallflower vibes, I guess. Yet, I do really well one-on-one. I have the idea that I'm one of those people that one has to really know before they can love. 15. If you had a building named after you, what would be in it? Vera Bradley purses. 16. It is the year 2024. What kind of computer are you using? Well, I'm sure it's going to be a lot different...I'd imagine something feather-weight that can be folded or rolled up. 17. When your pet looks at you, what is it thinking? They're either wondering if I'm going to feed them or play with them. 18. If you were forced to move to another country, where would you go? Europe...Japan's too expensive. Never been to either, so I guess we'll have to travel there until we find the right spot. 19. Okay, 'fess up. What did you do that made it necessary to move to another country? I'd probably move if things got too dangerous here. 20. Zen space. Make up a question and provide your own answer. What is/are your vice/s? Online shopping, sales, anything that makes my wallet lighter. Makes me wonder what's really necessary in life.
