If you were recuperating in a hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you, excluding relatives? Dolly Parton would be a lot of fun.
What has given you the most pleasure in the last year? Moving in to my new apartment. Now if I'd just get around to unpacking. (I moved in in February!)
What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you? With some of the things I've posted on this board, I'd be surprised if there were any surprises left! Let's see... I'm a neat freak who's place is a mess. I'm also a voracious reader who owns very few books.
If your house were on fire, what would you grab on the way out? As long as the cats made it out safely, I can't think of a single thing. I don't have anything irreplaceable. (Although if there were time, I'd probably grab my Carrie poster on the way out :-P)
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be? They'd say that I have very little patience, and from their point of view they'd be right.
What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try? Skydiving!!! I tried indoor skydiving once, but it was a disappointment.
What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given? Your questions are
so hard! For a gift I've given? A few years ago a friend of mine had his house broken into. They stole all of his electronics, CDs, and DVDs. This happened a couple of weeks before his birthday, so for his birthday I gave him a television with built in DVD and VHS. It didn't give him back his peace of mind, but it did let him know that he had a friend who cared enough to spend that much. Mind you, this is that same friend who likes to tell that horrible story about me!
As for a gift I've been given - it would have to be my 30th birthday party. We had a "prom", and everyone went all out buying outfits for themselves. A chef in one of the local restaurants made a special meal for me, and we spent the night going from bar to bar showing off our fancy duds.
Whew! That was introspective. How about some fluff questions?
And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."
