50 Questions

Stole this from Anna...partly cuz I liked the questions and partly because I'm too damn lazy today to actually come up with a topic of my own to write about.

1. Name one thing you could not live without?
There is only one thing in the world I couldn't live without, even with all the recent drama, and that answer will always be my daughter.

2. Name something you'd love to never see again.
An uncircumsized penis.

3. What color is your bathroom rug?
Maroon. And I never realized this til just now, but maroon is one of the school colors (the primary one actually) at my daughter's high school cuz Maroon is the name of the street her school is on.

4. Did you ever wear braces?
Nope, got lucky in that genetics department and have always had a perfect set of choppers. Don't even have a mouth full of fillings either.

5. Extrovert or introverted?
Introvert

6. What do you make of all this Anna Nicole Smith saga?
I'm tired of hearing about it. She wasn't that important in life, why they're making such a damn big deal about her now that she's dead is beyond me. And personally...I don't care who her baby's daddy is. It's not worthy of that much media attention.

7. What's the population of the city you live in?
Somewhere between 34 & 37 thousand. Haven't driven past the sign that says what it is lately so I don't remember. (Update...it's actually 39,217 according to the sign at the edge of town.)

No.

12. Who's your best friend?
I don't have one.

15. What's the last film you watched?
The kiddie and I have been trying to watch the gazillions of movies we've bought over the years but never bothered to open. Think the last one was The Wedding Date.

16. What about books?
After having it listed on my blog under "currently reading" for over 6 months, I finally finished "From the Corner of His Eye" by Dean Koontz. Now if I could just finish reading the John Saul book that's been there just as long I'd be a happy camper.

17. Do you enjoy eating sushi?
I only tried it once, way back in the late 80's, but I did like it. Haven't had it since because I haven't known anyone that likes it or would be willing to try it. Most sushi bars don't have take-out.
