I've seen this in a few friends' blogs but am finally succumbing to peer pressure due to Keith's participation.

Have you ever been searched by the cops?

No, but I was almost arrested for hooking while waiting for a bus at Sunset and La Brea on a Friday night, dressed to go to a club.


Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?

Sometimes.


When’s the last time you’ve been sledding?

Too long. Need to take Hunter to a hill somewhere next winter.


Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?

It's funny -- I sleep more when I'm alone, but I sleep better with someone (specific) else.


Do you believe in ghosts?

I don't disbelieve.


Do you consider yourself creative?

Sometimes. Actually, I just picked up The Artist's Way at a library auction to try to help increase the "sometimes" to "often" or "almost always."


Do you think O.J. killed his wife?

Yes.


Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?

For what? I liked AJ as Lara Croft and Mrs. Smith; haven't been too excited about anything I've seen JA in and was weirded out one time when I was trying a different hairstyle and realized I'd gotten A Rachel.


Do you stay friends with your exes?

With one or two notable exceptions, we've parted on good terms. Some I've stayed friends with, but we've mostly gone our separate ways.


Do you know how to play poker?

I carry a cheat sheet in my purse. Shawn refuses to sit down-table from me because my betting style is, "Seemed like a good idea at the time."


Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?

I don't think so, although I might have during finals week a time or two.


What’s your favorite commercial?

The original, music-only trailer for the movie "Jarhead."
Actually, I'm sure there are others, but nothing that sticks.


What are you allergic to?

Mold, petrochemicals, and ingrained lack of consideration for others' feelings.


If you’re driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around do you run red lights?

Not intentionally.


Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?

I'm not telling.



Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?

I'm not into football.


Have you ever been Ice Skating?

Yes, as a child. Loved it. Got my own pair of skates at a yard sale a few years back but have yet to use them.


How often do you remember your dreams?

Intermittently.


When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?

Oh, God, I wish I could remember -- it was something that Shawn said that was so off the wall, yet so perfect that I almost required an oxygen tank to recover.


Can you name 5 songs by The Beatles?

Yes.


What’s the one thing on your mind now?

I really don't want to do the dishes, but if I don't do them tonight, there will be more to do tomorrow. Besides, when my parents were up visiting this past week, Dad did the dishes, and I feel guilty for letting the sink get filled again after all that work.


Do you know who Ghetto-ass Barbie is?

What? Or, perhaps more relevantly, Why?


Do you always wear your seat belt?

Yes.


What cell service do you use?

Cingular


Do you like Sushi?

Yes, although not all choices.


Have you ever narrowly avoided a fatal accident?

Yep. The closest was going down Pearblossom Hwy/138 through the desert to Victorville. Right after I'd sped up to pass a car and returned to my lane, I realized that the headlights that were coming towards me were also in my lane, and, at 75 mph + whatever he was doing, there was no way I'd be able to avoid a head-on collision. I swerved off the road, spun out, and did about 35 backwards through the line of oncoming traffic to stall out on a small, dirt road that had somehow appeared exactly where I needed it to be. Freaked the hell out of me.


What do you wear to bed?

Sheets and a comforter.


Been caught stealing?

I don't think so.


What shoe size do you have?

I, personally, wear a size 7. I have various other sizes lying around because they're cool for costumes and I can make 'em fit if I need to.


Do you truly hate anyone?

Only when I'm feeling cranky, at which point I hate everyone.


Classic Rock or Rap?

Depends on my mood. Usually prefer Celtic or Country.


If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?

I'm just waiting for Shawn to become famous.


Favorite Song?

"Orphans of the Empire" by Johnny Clegg. He's a wonderful storyteller. Actually, right now, I'm head over heels with Josh Turner's "Would You Go With Me?"


Have you ever sang in front of the mirror?

Oh, yeah.


What food do you find disgusting?

Anything still moving.


Do you sing in the shower?

Not really. I think in the shower; I sing in the car.


Did you ever play, "I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours"?

No.


Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?

Not since I was out of junior high, and that was just because I was terribly insecure.


Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?

All the time.


Have you ever been punched in the face?

Yep. 8th grade. He had freckles, but I can't remember his name. He just walked up to me and hit me for no reason, and someone I'd thought was a friend was with him and laughed. (Did I mention I was insecure?)
