What were you doing 10 years ago?
Uggghhhh. What WAS I doing 10 years ago? I think I was just starting out at 7th Level, working on Monty Python computer games, living in Burbank, in a tiny rented house with about 800 cats. I was a sure sucker for strays and hard-luck cases, so I had my hands full finding homes for them. Some stayed... I hadn't yet started working with Eric Idle, nor had I left this continent... Ahhhh the things that can happen in a decade!
What were you doing 1 year ago?
Again... A bit blurry... Trying to figure out how to be a mom and still be me (still working on that). Much to the chagrin and often amusement of my family and friends, I decided to become a Christian (not like I was when it was forced upon me as a child). A VERY interesting time... I think a year ago was when I had to tell a group of women I was studying with, all of my past transgressions... It's a LOT harder to talk about when you're not bragging... Try it sometime... it's an eye-opener.
Five snacks you enjoy?
1. Chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips (homemade) with whole milk.
2. Cheetos (twists)
3. Guacamole and chips
4. Life cereal
Five songs to which you know all the words?
Okay, I hate to be That Person In The Car, here, but I'm one of those annoying people who knows the words to Pretty Much Everything. So I'm just going to free associate and see what I get:
1. "How How" -by Yellow
2. "Old Souls", Paul Williams (from Phantom of the Paradise)
3. "Oh Mr. Johny-Rebeck" (from my childhood. Earl hates me to sing it to Nora... something about the machine grinding up cats and dogs bothers him....)
4. Any Boingo song
5. Nick Cave's entire collection
Five things you would do if you were a millionaire?
1. Pay off all of my debt. To society and everyone else, or pay someone else to pay off my debt to society.
2. Honestly, I'd like to help people... Not giving people on the street a $100 bucks, that always seems to backfire... something more effective.
3.Get a Duesenberg
4. Travel
5. Buy myself the star on the Walk of Fame right next to Jean Harlow's (it seems you don't have to EARN them anymore, so why not?!)
5 bad habits?
1. food
2. I'm a project-starter, working on being a project-finisher
3. Avoiding exercise at all costs
4. Forgetting to crack the windows on summer days when I have the kids/animals in the car and I go in to the store to shop for a few hours (that one is for J2) (no, it's not true BTW)
5. "Forgetting" to floss
5 things you like doing?
1. Napping
2. Singing
3. Watching old movies
4. Overnight Road Trips
5. High Tea
5 things you will never wear, buy, or get again?
1. An Epilady (that "redness" you see? It's your own blood!)
2. Tickets to a Pat Benatar concert
3. A size 7 (I'm not built for it, and I look and feel better as a size 9)
4. Shoes that are too narrow, just because they're "cute".
5. The chance to do the right thing.. so don't mess it up the first time!
5 favorite toys?
1. My new MP3 player (total cost $29 on eBay!) Love it!
2. Our G4 with DSL
3. Cable TV (Thank God for Noggin)
4. My cute little Suzuki Samurai
5. My pay-as-you-go cell phone!
Okay, now I'm supposed to do something odd and list the last 3 blogs , add mine and toss it to another, right? So, since I don't know other people's Blog names, I'll toss it to whomever is reading this site (you know who you are!) and email me with your URL!)
