Message Board Celebrity Of The Day (Part II) - Shameless — Page 89

Jeeze, why thank you all. I will try to answer as well as I can between hiding from big brother at work today. I was not aniticpating BWW.com homework, but I will do what I can to get my assignments done in time:

1, Favorite cookie - there is a cinnamon sugar cookie I make that I could eat forever. That is one reason I do not make them too often!
2, Hero as a child - my dad
3, Favorite book as a child - either Curious George Rides a Bike or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
4, Way to spend a rainy Saturday - with a fire going, a good DVD in or music on, and plenty of cat toys. Now, if I was dating someone, the answer might be a bit different.

Spider:

1. If you could go back in time and date any star from the "classic" era of movies or music, who would it be? Hmmm. Maybe Henry Fonda. Or, Danny Kaye, or Danny Thomas. None of them are classic leading men, but seem like they would be really interesting to have dinner with. Maybe Rock, to let him know what was coming and throw a few condoms his way. I have never really thought about that one.

2. If you had a chance to star or direct a broadway show, which would you choose? Direct. So long as I had good team working on the and in the show. I cannot sing with squat.

3. What is your dream job? Working in Beijing or Shanghai in a company that helps develops writers and artists whose works are not subject to government review or approval.

Boobs: My 1st question....If you could interview 1 person (dead or alive)who would it be and what questions would you want answered? George Bush (and he would not be allowed any handlers around him) Please explain to me the rationale for war in Iraq and what the factional and historical basis for supporting that rationale.

2nd.....What inspires you? Great humanity and great suffering. I cried not only at the pain and suffering caused by natural disasters, but also cry with joy at some of the heroic efforts made on an individual effort to save the life of another. The ability of those who were otherwise divided or full of hate to come together in times of crisis, and the hope that someone can capture that for more than a moment in time. The recognition that for all the differences that are claimed to exists, we have far more in common with our neighbor and even our "enemy" than many would dare to admit. And, I have to admit, the Great Wall of China was pretty awe-inspiring.

Brd -
I have no idea what a penumbra is in real ife. A numbered pen with its on bra? Otherwise, it appears to be an area in which something exists to a lesser or uncertain degree: "The First Amendment has a penumbra where privacy is protected from governmental intrusion" (Joseph A. Califano, Jr.).

Which, I would presume, is why Roe can be overturned, because it is based on a lesser, assumed right, rather than an right expressed calearly in the Constitution.



OK, Off to work. I will try to answer more later.

Jane, the picture was quite pretty, and my cats especially appreciated it.

Stoli has already tried to eat the flowers a couple of times. Between running around in circles in the bathtub, eating my earplugs, and now trying to eat the very pretty flowers, he is quite amusing.

I will try to answer a few more questions later. Uh oh - here comes big brother. Back to work!

Congrats YWIW!

I just finished catching up on everything I've missed since last night, and I'll be back later with some of my usual questions.

Have fun!

well, what a JOY,YWIW?!!!

when you say the word "sweat", do you swoon or do you hold squinch your nose?

Mazel Tov - YWIW!

What a well-deserved recognition for a smart, funny poster who always helps me with my cat questions!

My girls send a big PURRRRRR your way too! Enjoy your reign!

YWIW..there's really a main board? It's not nice to tease Boobs.

I'm really enjoying reading your answers.

Who is your favorite B'Way star and what makes them different than all the others?

---

Where would you take someone you LIKED if they had never been in the LA area? (however many you want to list)

So, what was your favorite movie this past year?

Seriously, I have so enjoyed reading all your responses! Hope you're enjoying this special time!

What was your favorite class in college?

If you could go back to any year in your life what year would it be and why?

---

Have you always lived in LA? If not, what brought you there and what made you stay?

Do you think people who live in California speak with an accent? (I'm from Virginia and people here do.)

Have you ever taken one of those bus tours to the movie stars homes? (You know - like Lucy and Ethel?) If you did, did you steal one of Richard Widmark's grapefruit? Was the repercussions of that theft what made you enter the law profession?

What brought you to BWW and what made you stay?

Stretching your memory back as far as possible - even to the edges of what might possibly be imagination - what do you think is the earliest memory you have?

What is the happiest, most secure memory you have?

We are each the architect of our own heaven. What's yours going to be like?

YWIW - I love when people can see the wonderful things to do here - and I like all the things you've mentioned! Well, the Dodger game would be a stretch, but there ARE all those athletes to look at

Perhaps someday we'll find ourselves sharing a bike-ride in Venice - one of my favorite things to do here.

OK Mamie - I am going to give your questions a shot now. (Man, I am going to have work to take home this weekend! This is far more thought-provoking for me than what is on my desk!)


Have you always lived in LA? If not, what brought you there and what made you stay? I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I went to college and law school in the Sacramento area (which is in NoCal) and came back home after law school because I had no money! I have spent a summer working in Taiwan, and have lived, via extended work related projects, in both Little Rock, Arkansas (hated it) and Boston, Mass. (loved it). I have stayed in LA in the past few years because I have a job as an attorney that lets me sleep at night knowing I am not getting paid to screw someone else over. Which, is a luxury many of my law-school friends do not have, and, because both of my parents had some health issues. But now, with my mom healthy (and my father gone) I would, for the right opportunity, consider moving to another town.

Do you think people who live in California speak with an accent? (I'm from Virginia and people here do.) I think there are some twangs of sort here, but unless you live at the beach and adopt a beach twang, or live among teenagers in the SF Valley, that I have never seen a California accent.

Have you ever taken one of those bus tours to the movie stars homes? (You know - like Lucy and Ethel?) If you did, did you steal one of Richard Widmark's grapefruit? Was the repercussions of that theft what made you enter the law profession? I have actually never done a bus tour of stars houses. I have seen some in passing during the normal day, but I am not so enthralled with them that I need to waste my time looking at their security gates. The last thing I stole was a pack of gum at a 7-11 type store, and that was when I was a teenager, so I don't think that it was the motivation for me becoming a lawyer. I actually became a lawyer because I had a very naive notion that lawyers make things fair. And, if you are a good lawyer, sometimes you can in fact do so. But, with all of the money in the system, it is very difficult sometimes to do so.

What brought you to BWW and what made you stay? I was bored one night and after trying to get tickets to see Wicked at the Pantages, and trying to figure out why they were so hard to get, I came across this site. So, I guess you can blame Wicked for me coming on here. For the record, I really did enjoy the show. Not the most amazing thing ever, but good fun (*ducks and runs behind her two cats for protection*)

Stretching your memory back as far as possible - even to the edges of what might possibly be imagination - what do you think is the earliest memory you have? I remember being about two or three years old and riding on my tricycle with mail in my mouth to deliver it the mailbox. I also remember pieces of the amazing stories our babysitters would tell us when were children. One involved a car and a swimming pool.

What is the happiest, most secure memory you have? There was a Passover dinner about 7 years ago where my entire family was there, there were no fights: we were all getting along for once, and I was with my boyfriend, who I was falling in love with, and I was very, very happy.

We are each the architect of our own heaven. What's yours going to be like? I honestly do not know. I am not sure I believe in heaven and hell, so I have not really thought about what it will be like.

What has given you the most (non-sexual and non-criminal) pleasure in the last year?

If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?
