| Introduction | Currently my feet are cold and I need slippers. I threw my smelly slippers away at the end of last winter under the pretense that I would knit or crochet myself some new ones over the summer. Who was I kidding. I rarely knit or crochet in warm weather. I envy people who can. For today, I will have to wear a pair of wool socks and take the fact that my feet are cold as a sign of the changing season. I best get out my knitting needles. |
| Interests | Peeling paint. Rusty things. Peeling paint on rusty things. Doors. Windows. Peeling paint on doors and windows. Mannequins. Banjos. Cameras. Storytelling. Storytellers. Signs. Making things. Fixing things. |
| Favorite movies | I rarely remember movies that I've seen, so this one is tough. If I remember a movie it means that I either absolutely loved it or hated it. Dodgeball had me rolling with laughter and I'm not sure if those accompanying me to the movie, or the rest of the people in the theater, thought the movie or my complete unabashed laughter was funnier. Point Break, Better Off Dead, Drop Dead Fred and Death to Smoochy also make this list of movies that I remember because I liked them. |
| Favorite music | I like music... in fact I like lots and lots of music. Being a Gemini I can't make decisions easily, so I purchased for myself a 60 disc CD changer and I let it choose for me. I guess I had to fill it with 60 discs, but I kind of did that randomly too. I wish that my turntable would choose records for me too. |
| Favorite books | I like books, lots and lots of books. Sometimes I think that the library is my best friend. I try to use the library since it is free, but somehow I have come to a point where my bookshelves are overflowing. Many of the books that can be found stuffed on my shelves or piled on my floor are written by some of the following authors... Sherman Alexie, Isabel Allende, Margaret Atwood, Umberto Eco, Louise Erdrich, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, John Irving, Leslie Marmon Silko, N. Scott Momaday, David Sederis, Neal Stephenson, James Welch, etc. |
You get to ride the big roller coaster three times in a row. What will keep your dad from taking a bite out of your candy apple?
Since it is the big roller coaster my father is probably riding it with me. My mother is likely the one holding my apple. She would never take a bite without asking me and if she just couldn't resist she would eat the whole thing and buy me a new apple.
