1. Have you ever been searched by the cops?

Searched? Maybe? You're not counting going in the gate at big concerts, are you? I've been stopped more than once (well, back in the day), but I play good girl *really* well.

2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?

I don't remember the last time I rode a roller coaster. These days, if I even went on one, probably? Somewhat, if only to keep from losing my contacts?

3. When's the last time you've been sledding?

Hm, possibly as recently as 2001, when Tim and I visited Indiana for Xmas, but probably in 1997, before I left for California.

4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?

This definitely depends on my mood. Lately, I've been something of a snuggle slut with Tim. Shhh!

5. Do you believe in ghosts?

I like Tim's answer, so I'm adopting it: Only when it's very dark and I'm by myself.

6. Do you consider yourself creative?

Yep.

7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife?

Yeah, probably.

8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?

What? Why can't I have both?

9. Do you stay friends with your ex's?

Most of them. Definitely all the major ones.

10. Do you know how to play poker?

Yes, but I do not know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, etc.

11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?

Oh, most certainly. Could I do it now? Possibly, but I'd be dangerous.

12. What's your favorite commercial?

Ooh, that Nike one (I know, but read on) where this fit woman closes her medicine cabinet and sees an attacker in a hockey mask in the reflection. She turns, knees him, hits him, then takes off running out the door and through the dark woods. We see him try to chase her, but she's running strong and steady and fast, while the overweight attacker huffs and puffs and stumbles trying to keep up. He gives up, winded, and she's still going strong, now far away from him. Love. It.

13. What are you allergic to?

Lobster! Can you believe it? So not fair. Also, pollen in California.

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

In Indiana I did. I'm not sure that "middle of the night and ne one is around you" applies in the Bay Area.

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

I doubt it.

16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?

I like the Yankees pinstripes.

17. Have you ever been Ice Skating?

Yep!

18. How often do you remember your dreams?

Pretty regularly.

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

Don't remember. Maybe watching Greg vacuum the Wiscon before last. If you think that's not funny, you weren't there.

20. Can you name 5 songs by The Beatles?

Yep.

21. What's the one thing on your mind now?

General happy glow from writing a lot this week and getting a mini-break with my bop this weekend.

22. Do you know who Ghetto-ass barbie is?

Something you made up for this quiz? I hope?

23. Do you always wear your seat belt?

Oh yes.

24. What cell service do you use?

Is this a sneaky poll where this is the only answer you care about? Verizon.

25. Do you like Sushi?

I LOVE Sushi! Especially salmon sashimi. If you'd asked me in Indiana if I would ever eat a piece of raw fish, I would have laughed at you. Wow, was I wrong.

26. Have you ever narrowly avoided a fatal accident?

Oh, yes. Six car pile up on black ice at 1am after "praying in the new year" at my minister's lake house in southern Indiana. (I was 16 or 17 and giving Christianity "one last try". It didn't take.) I don't think it would have been fatal for those of us in the car (possibly), but if I hadn't managed to get control back from the spinning car, I would have hit my friend Beth, who was in the ditch, having just gotten out of one of the earlier cars to hit. It was terrifying, but I was calm and in control until I was sure everyone was safe. Then I cried hard.

27. What do you wear to bed?

Nothing.

28. Been caught stealing?

Nope. I think the last time I stole anything I was 4 years old, though, so it's not like this is impressive.

29. What shoe size do you have?

10

30. Do you truly hate anyone?

Maybe. I think I have moods where people I dislike I really feel like I hate, but I can't think of anyone I'd let die if I could easily save them or anything like that.

31. Classic Rock or Rap?

Rap.

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

Oh, hell, I dunno. I mean, what if I picked someone suitably hot, and we turned out to have zero chemistry? What fun is that?

33. Favorite Song?

I like it when Tim sings me that song from Hair...

34. Have you ever sang in front of the mirror?

Dude, I did musical theatre. Lots and lots.

35. What food do you find disgusting?

Oh, I'm a pretty damn picky eater, all things considered. I don't like things that still have their eyes or brains or feet...

36. Do you sing in the shower?

Sometimes. And I do like it when Tim does, I'm just sometimes not awake enough to applaud is all.

37. Did you ever play, "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours"?

Heh. I had a playhouse. Of course I did.

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

Hello, theatre geek!

39. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?

Yes.

40. Have you ever been punched in the face?

Once, when I was 11 and had a crush on this 14-year-old guy on my bus (he was held back in 8th grade and still rode the middle school bus). He didn't like me making moony eyes at him or something. I didn't have a crush on him once he gave me a fat lip, though.
