You're first in line.

Where'd AC go?

I'm on there as well, shamey.

"I'll make you CotD...if you introduce me to Maria Guleghina."

Why would you want to meet her? She's a nasty woman.

Posted: 5/24/07 at 4:07pm

Okay, the list of HAVE NOTs has begun above the list of HAVEs. So, help me out, people. If you know of someone who has been here more than 5 minutes, let me know.

Now, back to our reigning CotD.

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

I took a dear friend to dinner and a show last week. The week before that, I was given a rare recording that I've wanted for some time.

What was the worst job you ever had?

Babysitter. I hate kids.

If you had to be someone else for one day, who would you be, and what would you do?

I'd be Toni Morrison. I'd teach a class at Princeton, then write a book at night.

What do you do when you need cheering up?

I usually eat and smoke way too much when I'm down. I know it's horrible, but it gets me through.

Name a place that you’ve never been, but would like to visit.

Venice

If you could change your name, which new one would you choose?

I've always loved the name Luke.

Okay, kids. I'm leaving for work and won't be back for a few hours. Feel free to leave me more questions, and I'll answer them later tonight or tomorrow morning. It's been a blast today. Thank you!

Dang, I just missed AC. I have no idea who you are, but that's what this is all about, right?

In that spirit, please complete these statements:

My philosophy of life is:

These five words describe me:

I am a: __ finished product or __ in a state of constant renovation

DayDreamer, I have just enough time to answer your questions.

My philosophy of life is:

Your best is always the best.

These five words describe me:

Creative, eclectic, hyperbolic, focused, driven.

I am a: __ finished product or __ in a state of constant renovation

In a state of constant renovation. Who isn't?

I used to:

Love her, but then I had to kill her...

If you want to talk to me, you should:

Be a good conversationalist who loves a spirited debate, and who can always back up everything you say.

My screen name means:

Nothing. I created it for ATC. After they rejected my first two username choices, I made up something that had no meaning because I knew it would be approved. I decided to keep it when I joined BWW.

AC, I don't know if I'll be around later, but I wanted to tell you that I've enjoyed reading your responses and I'm leaving you a few more of my usual questions.

(This is Iflit’s question, but it’s one of my favorites.) If money and ability were no obstacle, what would be your dream occupation?

What was your childhood ambition?

What has been your proudest moment, so far?

What is your best or favorite personality trait? Least favorite?

What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?

If you could script the basic plot for the dream you will have tonight, what would the story be?

What is the best advice you've ever heard and who gave it to you?

What keeps you awake at night?

[D2]

Posted: 5/24/07 at 5:21pm

AC, Congratulations, and enjoy the day! I have no questions now, but I might later.

[AC126748]

Posted: 5/24/07 at 10:41pm

If money and ability were no obstacle, what would be your dream occupation?

Something to do with journalism. I would love to be a political journalist, but I wouldn't mind being a critic, either. Also, I'd teach one class per semester at a college of my choosing.

What was your childhood ambition?

For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to write.

What is your best or favorite personality trait? Least favorite?

Best: I can be a very patient person.
Worst: I can also lose my temper and become quite unagreeable.

What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?

I'm probably the reverse of most people: I was a very reserved child, and as I've grown up, I've become friendlier and easier to get along with. So, I hope that the child that I was would see me today and recognize that I've grown as a person with each passing year.

If you could script the basic plot for the dream you will have tonight, what would the story be?

In my dream, I would be living out the perfect day that I described a few posts ago.

What is the best advice you've ever heard and who gave it to you?

I wish I had an answer, but I won't lie. I can't think of a certain piece of advice that I consistently live my life by.

What keeps you awake at night?

The little things. If I don't do well on a test or I turn in an article that I know isn't my best work, it will bother me to no end.

If you were forced to watch one musical over and over again for the rest of your life, which would it be?

[AC126748]

If you were forced to watch one musical over and over again for the rest of your life, which would it be?

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. The closest thing there is to musical theatre heaven.

It's time for me to pass along the Celebrity of the Day crown. First, I just wanted to say that I had a wonderful time yesterday answering questions and attending to my public. Thank you all so much.

Deciding who my successor should be was hard and I put a lot of thought into it. Finally, I decided to give the crown to someone whom I always enjoy reading on this board (and not just because we agree more often than not). So, enjoying your weekend as BWW's Celebrity...Roscoe!

Friday bump.

Roscoe,

which character from a play (musical or straight) do you most identify with? Why?

[D2]

Posted: 5/25/07 at 6:01pm

Congrats, Roscoe. Enjoy your weekend. What are your plans, aside from answering all these questions?

[Roscoe]

Posted: 5/25/07 at 6:21pm

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I hadn't spotted this until just a few minutes ago.

Thanks for naming me, AC1.

So now I get to answer a bunch of questions, is that how it works? Okay. Here goes:

>>How would you spend your perfect day?

I'd spend it with my beloved partner Bob, either at the beach or just hanging out together, followed by a great dinner and a screening of a pristine print of Buster Keaton's THE GENERAL.
