'90s. Tough, though. I love the '80s too.

What is your favorite role you'd one day like to play (soon as you get casted on Broadway)?

Which is your favorite Broadway songwriter/songwriter team?

What do you do first when you wake up in the morning? ("getting up" doesn't count)

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 12:52pm

My dream role on Boardway would probablly be Maureen in Rent. As cliche as htat is. I just think that it would be a really really fun part to play.

I do not have a favorite songwriter/songwriting team, though I must say I really enjoy the guys who wrote [Title Of Show]. It's very witty.

The first thing I do when I get up is make coffee. I need it that time of the morning.

Maureen, eh? So you could show your ass on stage?

What's your favorite shape?

Who is your idol?

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 1:19pm

Not specifically so that I could show my ass onstage, but that's a bonus, yes.

My favorite shape is a dodecagon. Or a right triangle.

My idol...I don't know if I have one. In the words of Whitney Houson (or at least paraphrased) "Everybody's searching for a hero. I never found anyone to fulfill my needs." I do admire Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks though, for standing up for what she believes in and being a strong woman, and not shutting up just because she's supposed to be an entertainer and nothing more.

We shall have to agree to disagree.

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 1:29pm

About what?

[ckeaton]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 1:32pm

Natalie Maines.

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 1:34pm

Oh? And what's your trouble with her?

[ckeaton]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 1:42pm

Let's just say this, I think there is a line between acceptable political discourse, and unacceptable.

Let's keep this about you, killah. I don't want to get all political on your ass.

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 1:45pm

Yes, i suppose that would be the best thing to do.

What's the first Broadway show you attended?

The first show that I actually saw on Broadway in New York was The Lion King on a school trip in the seventh grade. I was very excited about it, but very disappointed by the show. I enjoyed Thoroughly Modern Millie much more, the show that we saw the next night.

Prefer musicals or plays?

Musicals. Not even a close comparison.

Can you draw? Dance? Sing?

I can do none of those well, though I wish I could. I can write okay, though.

Any talent that you don't have that you wish you did?

Singing, defnitely. I would kill to have a good voice.

The Beatles or The Stones?

The Stones. Never liked The Beatles.

The Wedding Singer...yay or nay?

Big yay. It was the only show i got to see the last tiime I was in NYC (I was supposed to see Sweeney as well but ended up not being able to afford it) and I really enjoyed it. Plus the movie is one of my favorites.

Last three movies you saw in the theater?

PotC2, The Devil Wears Prada, and Click.

Top ten movies of all time?

Ahh, the question I've been waiting for all day. In no particular order:

The Matrix
You've Got Mail
The Mummy
The austin Powers trilogy
Clueless
Better OFahff Dead
Fahrenheit 9/11
Remember The Titans
American Beauty
I can't pick a last one. There are too many to pick from. I love so many movies that it's pretty much impossible to choose.

What books do you remember loving as a child?

Hop On Pop, The Cat In The Hat, and Are You My Mother? A great story about Are You My Mother. When I was 2 i memorized the whole book and knew what pages each line was on because of the pictures so I'd go through the book and look like I was reading it becuase I'd recite it aloud. My family was so impressed, they thought that I could read at 2.

If you had to choose between fame and fortune, which would it be?

Fortune can buy fame, so I'd have to pick that. I mean, just look at Paris Hilton.

Who is your favorite History Boy?

Not familiar with the play, sorry!

Favorite sitcom?

Frasier!

Favorite BWW posters?

Oooh, the list is too long to go into. I love you all!

Who is the geek you heart?

The geek I *used to* heart was one Chris, a reheaded kid who couldn't be dragged away from the computer. We broke up rather recently. But I still like geeks in general, so I'm not changing the username.

You like geeks? Score! I'm in with a chance...

Now could you answer my two questions, above?

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 2:57pm

f you were recuperating in a hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you, excluding relatives?

Keanu Reeves. I wouldn't mind staring at THAT ass all day...

What has given you the most pleasure in the last year?

BWW, actually. You guys have all given me confidence that I'm not such a loser after all. Thanks to all of you. And discovering Top Chef and Project Runway, two of my new favorite shows.

What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?

Wow. I'm pretty up-front about everything. Maybe that I'm obsesssed with really bad comedy movies, Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey and the like. I'm ashamed, yes, trust me.

If your house were on fire, what would you grab on the way out?

my laptop. And my family, of course. And maybe my playbills.

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

It would be very accurate. Like I said, I'm prety up-front about everything. They'd say that I'm outspoken, a little condescending, lusty, intelligent, and that I have a good sense of humor, probably.

What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?

Hmmm...avoiding the obvious answer here I'd say sushi. Or skydiving, though I've done something similar.

What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given?

The last great gift that I gave someone was probably the note that I gave my mother for mother's Day. And the last great gift I got was the Rent poster, the gorgeous, probably expensive Rent poster that my friend could have kept for herself but isntead gave to me for her birthday.

Sweet thing, the Austin Powers trilogy counts as three, not one. :)

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:00pm

Oh, it o****s as one. It's one long, continuing story, thereofre it is one.

[vmlinnie]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:10pm

I <3 you too, iHeartMyGeek.

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:11pm

I should change my username to "iHeartMyLinnie"

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:15pm

Mine's worse, trust me.

Besides, if you hate your surname, why'd you put it in your username?

[ckeaton]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:16pm

We all make mistakes.

Long story involving a science project and ancient Indian Scriptures...

Do I get Geek points for that???

[iHeartMyGeek]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:22pm

Nah, just nerd points.

See, "geek" is a term that refers more to technological knowledge while "nerd" refers more to book knowledge.

[vmlinnie]

Posted: 8/17/06 at 3:25pm

Let me explain;

We did a project using java script (tech...) to prove that computer processors would be faster if they used a different kind of maths (ancient Indian Maths, specifically) in their processors, and we proved it and won some cool prizes.

Nor that's Geeky, not Nerdy.
