Well, it's 9:31 and I'm a half hour later than I thought I would be. But I'll try to answer shameless' (many) questions in that short frame of time.
IF YOU WERE RECUPERATING IN A HOSPITAL, WHO WOULD YOU WANT IN THE BED NEXT TO YOU, EXCLUDING RELATIVES?
I've never thought about that one, either. Let's see... I can't think of anyone specific, but I would like the patient next to me to be conversational. I enjoy talking with new people and learning about their lives.
WHAT HAS GIVEN YOU THE MOST PLEASURE IN THE LAST YEAR?
I would say reading. It has provided an escape for me when I really needed to be elsewhere and not here, if that makes any sense.
WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT YOU? Many people are surprised to learn that I spent two years in an orphanage before being adopted.
IF YOUR HOUSE WAS ON FIRE, WHAT WOULD YOU GRAB ON THE WAY OUT? I'm not much of a keepsake person ( I prefer memories because they last), so I probably wouldn't go after an inanimate object. That pretty much cancels everything in my apartment. If I had a pet I would most definitely fight the flames to save it. Does that answer your question, more or less?
(Oh God, it's now 9:44.)
IF YOU ASKED AN IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE TO DESCRIBE YOU, WHAT WOULD HE OR SHE SAY? HOW ACCURATE WOULD THEY BE?
I think anyone who knows me will be pretty accurate because I'm not the type of person to keep secrets or tell lies; therefore, they would know me perfectly. I guess they would say that I'm diplomatic, generous, compassionate, laid-back, goofy, and that I possess a dry and salacious sense of humor.
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE BUT ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY?
Like I mentioned earlier, I've always wanted to fly so sky-diving would be something I really want to do.
WHAT'S THE LAST GREAT GIFT THAT YOU GAVE SOMEONE? AND THAT YOU WERE GIVEN?
Well, since I'm pressed for time I really can't think of every gift that I've given or that's been given to me. But earlier this month I bought my younger sister a new cell phone (she's never had one) and I have agreed to pay the bill for one year. She really appreciated that. Now, the last great gift someone's ever given me is a trip to Disneyland. Erika Amato gave me my chance of a lifetime for free. I had always wanted to go as a child, but never got the opportunity. Then Erika gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse and I am very VERY grateful to her for that. I had a blast last month and I really needed it. Thanks again, Erika!
Well, that is all folks! Now I must go pick a new Celebrity of the Day!
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
