Chocolate
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST?
No, but I will if I have to.
DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
Nope, never have.
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE DECISION YOU’VE MADE:
1997 - Deep down inside (ok not that deep down) I knew my then boyfriend (lets call him Satan) was trouble. I should have stayed away from him. I should have known better. 5 years, a drug addiction, a miscarriage, $10,000 in credit card and check fraud later - yeah hooking up with Satan is my biggest regret.
WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
Mitsubishi Mirage
COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE.
My Maternal Grandmother - (My mom’s dad abandoned them when she was born and her mom died when she was 12. My Grandmother was a single mom in South America in the 30’s. My mom is such a wonderful person, my Grandmother must have been amazing. She didn’t listen to what people said about a woman trying to raise kids alone. She knew even back then, that if she just didn’t give up she could do it.)
FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
Baileys and Cream
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?
Cancer
DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?
Yes
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Hotel/Spa Evaluator. (Does this really exist?) Scenario: I would get paid to spend time pampering myself in posh hotels and spas and then get to rate them. Like a mystery shopper with massages, expensive dinners and stuff.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR?
Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman Red. (My skin tone is a bit too dark to pull Red off.)
EVER BEEN IN LOVE?
I’ve come to realize that for love to be “real” it must be reciprocated so the answer is No.
NOTTING HILL, AMERICAN PIE OR SIXTH SENSE?
Notting Hill - Never saw it
American Pie - Laughed my ass off
Sixth Sense - Like it but felt so sorry for little Cole. Poor kid - If he had been born with that “gift” in Africa,Haiti or Cuba he would have been revered, made Chieftain or something like that. Here the poor kid was just a freak.
ARE YOU A LEFTY OR A RIGHTY??
Righty
WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED?
Cat toys or whatever else Timmy drags under there.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?
21
FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH?
Hockey
SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS TO BEFORE YOU.
Arisu likes Chocolate - I like Chocolate… She’s cool in my book. And she shares an apartment with three other girls… must have the patience of a Saint.
PERSON WHOSE RESPONSES YOU LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE MOST?
I’m am not that familiar with any one person yet so I look forward to everyone’s responses.
