Moi? Why, I am overcome with emotion here! I thought I'd never be a Message Board Celebrity because I am arguably the poster who has had the most naughty posts deleted by the administrator.
Oh, thank you...thank you! You all are so wonderful! Thank you!

Congrats Borstal!
What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?
If your house were on fire, what material possessions would you grab on the way out?
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?
What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?
What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given?
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

--What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?
I'm a first-generation Scot. Clan MacGregor, bitch!
--If your house were on fire, what material possessions would you grab on the way out?
My CD's and record collection...Nona Hendryx's first record and the soundtrack to TIMES SQUARE are hard to find.
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?
--Most people would say "insane" and or "crazy". Some would say it with affection, others with distaste. They'd be right, but not as right as they would be, say, ten years ago. I have mellowed out a lot.
--What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?
What I'd really like to try is directing. No, seriously. That and skateboarding.
--What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given?
I gave someone the OBC of CAROLINE, OR CHANGE a couple of years ago. I love to give music. Best gift I got recently were two small pictures of the Fox Theater and Club Congress in Tucson.

Congrats to another BB !!! Here's your crown for the day..try not to get finger prints on it please...just a bitch to get out.
Questions...
1) What Inspires You?
2) If you can spend 1 day with 1 person (dead or alive) who would it be and what would you talk about?
3) If you were putting together a scapebook of your life..what would be in it?
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Congratulations, Borstal Boy.
What did you really think of HOWARD KATZ?
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I was just about to ask why you chose the very irish username you have, but it appears PJ may have that covered. Pity about Behan's whole terrorism episode.
Just messing, don't mean to spoil the party. Congrats!
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

SHE'S the celebrity?
Christ on a Cracker...how low have we sunk?
Just kidding...anyone who saw his scene-stealing fabulousness in PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE knows just how much The Lady Borstal Boy deserves to be a celeb!

Actors I can't really comment on because I have not seen that many: Esparza, Langella, and Schreiber are all new to me. I see TALK RADIO tomorrow, so...
Actresses would have to be Christine Ebersole and Marian Seldes....they're just class acts, onstage and off.

Congrats, Borstal! You've always been one of my favorites.
Other than where you currently live, where would your dream home be and why?
What's the last great show that you saw?
What are you currently reading?
What's your favorite CD of all time?
PC or Mac?
What is the greatest performance you have ever seen on stage? On screen?
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Ladies and "Gentle" men,
It's now 4:37 and the time has come for Borstal to put away the computer and tend to real life....returning pornos and scrubbing dishes and that sort of thing. Being Celebrity of the Day in a thread that had only 4 less non-me posts than the thread about earwax is an honor I will remember for as long as I possibly can. I will return tomorrow morning to hand my sceptre off to another lucky, lucky BWW member.
Love ya!
