re: questions for friends

i got one of these from my friend/co-worker in alabama today. i never usually reply, but today's friday so here goes...

1. First Name? paula

2. Were you named after anyone? paula was a groovy 70's name, and i have a greek aunt/cousin/something named polixeni, which is greek for paula.

3. Do you wish on stars? only shooting ones.

4. Which finger is your favorite? i like my big thumbs. they're fun.

5. When did you last cry? probably yesterday's oprah show. i cry daily watching oprah, but it's a little, weak, unsubstantial cry and not a good cleansing sob. i was sad to tears on sunday after the meetings, too... what's wrong with us?!

6. Do you like your handwriting? no. i hate writing anything. for some reason, my hands don't want to write what my brain is telling it.

7. What is your favorite lunch meat? [gagging] i wouldn't even eat lunchmeat when i wasn't a vegetarian.

8. Any bad habits? i have a lot of bad habits, so i make up for them by being compulsive and annoyingly organized with other parts of my life.

9. What is your most embarrassing CD on the shelf? hm... hall & oates greatest hits double cd set?

10. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? maybe. i'm not always the most likable person.

12. Have you ever told a secret you swore you wouldn't tell? probably.

13. Do looks matter? only to an extent. there are so many people who are so damn sexy because their personality illuminates their "average" looks.

14. Where is your second home? i hate to say it, but probably the hampton inn in memphis.

20. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? i'm too little. i'd be squashed.

21. What do you look for in a guy? similar beliefs and values, love for me even when i make "chick farts," love of reading lots of books in bed, uncanny ability to make me spit coke all over his car from laughing, and a nice wiener. just kidding: diet coke in my sinuses really burns.
