Hahahaha nope!

Not really.

33. Did you have braces?
No, but I probably should've. I'm not a huge fan of my teeth.

34. Are you happy with your height?
Yes - tall enough to hold my own with most men, but not an amazon giantess.

35. What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
Nothing, really. All the guys I know suck.

36.When do you know it's love?
When John Kerry tells you to drink all the Guinness you want and you don't have to pay for it. THAT'S LOVE. (Gonna have to agree, Vek - though it was Sam Adams in my case :D )

Ok seriously. You know it's love, when you realize that you hope that as long as that person lives, you want to live exactly that long - minus one day, so you never have to live a day without them. (Gonna have to agree there as well.)

37. Do you speak any other language?
Bastard Spanish and fluent Profane English.

38. What is your favorite smell?
The lilac bush in my backyard, my mom's perfume, Snuggle fabric softner, summer air... anything associated with a good memory.

39. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
No, actually. I'm pretty damn pale.

The American Prospect, Glamour, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, assorted others I buy at the newsstand when I'm bored.

41. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Yes.

42. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
Not really. It's gonna be a horrible day...

43. Do you ever watch MTV?
No, I don't watch much TV.

44.What's something that really annoys you?
People in class who think they're God's gift to acadamia and who can't stop fucking monopolizing the discussion with their pretentious word vomit.

45. What's something you really like?
Books.

46. Do you like Michael Jackson?
Ugh?

48.What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
I've pulled all-nighters before.

49. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
I know I am going to die, but hopefully that day is a long time coming. Once I was in a near accident, and it was an almost religious experience.

1.What does your DU quote mean?
Self explanatory.

2. Post your favorite photo.
Um, I've never actually learned how to do that on these boards (I have DSL, but I'm using a seven-year-old laptop without what I believe they call a fully supported browser). Sorry.

3. Who introduced DU to you?
My beloved Joseph Cannon of the incomparable Cannonfire.

4. How many people do you have on ignore?
Too many to count. It's an increasingly large number of jerks, trolls, and to quote a great American, "assholes (the mods and Admin) keep around as pets." I had to get hip to Ignore after a not-so-nice "incident" last summer in which I read a comment here that literally gave me a migraine. I have a thick skin, but these are some of the most contentious forums I've ever been in and--I decided that "shutting people out" was better than losing my sanity (and my posting privileges).

5. What's your current relationship status?
Single, never married, no dependents. Not planning on changing any of that anytime soon.

6. What are you wearing right now?
Lilac t-shirt from Nordie's and Calvin Klein khakis. Yes, I know it's 1:35 a.m. What's your point?

7. What is your current problem?
I am struggling to maintain enough emotional interest in my novel to finish the first draft, which I had promised myself I would complete by July of this year.

8. What are you doing right now?
Trying to work up the energy to fold a gigantic pile of laundry.

9. Your favorite body part OF YOUR OWN.
My eyes (perfect vision, my best feature).

10. What do you love most?
Fresh air, clean water, choice, and J.F.K.

11. What makes you most happy?
A good night's sleep.

12. Are you musically inclined?
Not so much. I am said to have a lovely voice, but cannot carry a tune to Save. My. Life.

13. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out you were on cocaine?
Freak. Because that would mean that I would most likely be in some kind of a bizarro medical facility, possibly after a lingering illness, being given a bromide cocktail or something because the regular drugs had stopped working. So, yeah, uh, I'd probably be a little upset.

14. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
In May of 2001, when I sensed an unhealthy relationship was becoming...really unhealthy, I would have moved to another city to look for post-college employment, instead of sticking around in the town we lived in to try to "make it work." Hopefully, I would have then learned what an "acutely egocentric personality" looked like, been grateful for what I escaped, and never looked back.

15. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day, what will you be?
Honey bee.

16. Ever have a near death experience?
Nope.

17. Name ONE obvious quality you have.
Some people say I talk too much.

18. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
Kevin Little's "Turn Me On." Yeah, it's not my favorite thing, either.

Better than I was yesterday. Except...R.I.P., Betty Friedan.

20. Who will complete this next?
Er, someone funnier than I.

21. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Sofia Coppola, George Lucas, the State of Israel and...Louis Pasteur (I think).

22. Who was your first crush?
Harold Ramis.

23. Have you ever vandalized someone else's property?
Vandalism is the last resort of the pathologically uncreative.

24. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Yep.

25.Have you ever sang in front of a large audience?
I don't sing in public (too humiliating).

26.What's the first thing you notice about the opposite/same sex?
Opposite sex: probably age (don't know why; I hate ageism). Same sex: Hair (some days it seems that everyone other than me has good hair--I have to steal styling ideas off those with better estheticians).

27.What do you usually order from Starbucks?
I cannot stand the taste of most Starbucks beverages. I haven't purchased anything from them since 2002. It was this tasty kind of focaccia bread that I don't even think they make anymore.

28. What is your biggest mistake?
The long series of events through which I blundered my undergraduate thesis. Some of which were augmented by the assholishness of others, but most of which were my bad decisions. I'm still really bitter about all of that, actually.

29. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Uh, for about a month and a half in my senior year of college...nevermind.

30. Say something totally random about you:
I despise sandwiches in any form.

31. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
Like a shorter, blonder Mira Sorvino, a slightly heavier Sarah Michelle Gellar, Claire Daines with better legs, and Audrey Hepburn.

32. Do you still watch kiddy shows?
I didn't really watch those even when I was a kid. Gave up cartoons at age twelve and don't miss them.

33. Did you have braces?
Yep. Thanks, 'rents!

34. Are you happy with your height?
A couple of inches more would have really helped me in this life, let me tell you. 5'3 is the most awkward height ever.

35. What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
One time, while I was dealing with complications due to oral surgery, my S.O. brought me some cranberry juice with a bendy straw already in it (at the time, I was very touched by the fact that he didn't need to be told that I would require a bendy straw for the juice).

36.When do you know it's love?
Usually not until it's too late. But it's been a while since I even gave a shit about "love," so what do I know?

37. Do you speak any other language?
At one time, I was considered halfway proficient in Russian.

38. What is your favorite smell?
Chicken vindaloo.

39. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
What are you, out of your mind?

40. What magazines do you read?
Once in a great while, I'll leaf through Redbook, Vanity Fair, or US. I'm currently trying to motivate myself to resubscribe to The American Scholar, but so far...no go.

41. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Yes, I think (Grandma's funeral in '86, so I barely remember).

42. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
Grandpa. A month after Iowa. It sucked, but the pain brought me here, so ultimately it was kinda a good thing. Kinda. Sniffle.

43. Do you ever watch MTV?
Not for a decade now (no point).

44.What's something that really annoys you?
When I mention that I will likely remain contentedly childfree and people respond with, "Oh, I'm sorry."

45. What's something you really like?
Alfred Hitchcock movies.

46. Do you like Michael Jackson?
'Kay, I confess: yeah. And I don't actually believe he's molested anyone. So sue me.

48.What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
I'm stealing Vektor's answer, here: I stay up all night on a regular basis. I'm a night owl.

49. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
Last summer, I came this close to being in a serious car accident after some IDIOT almost cruised right through an intersection that I was about to go through at 55 MPH. In an ancient Volvo station wagon with air bags of questionable integrity. I look back on that incident now, and consider myself extremely lucky to be typing this. I avoid that area of town now at all costs.

I have gotten that one too. In fact, face recognition websites often think I am her. Do we look alike at all? (I also get Sarah Michelle.)

1.What does your DU quote mean?
Stay in the game, cuz you never know what will happen. And miracles occur, rarely, but they do occur.

2. Post your favorite photo.



OMG! That is one of the best political pics ever of anyone, extant, in the world.

3. Who introduced DU to you?
I heard about it on the web at the tail end of the '04 race. Elizabeth Edwards had written something here and I heard about it and checked it out. But I'm shy, so it took a while for me to post (Dec. '04) Been here ever since.

4. How many people do you have on ignore?
Zero. It is bad policy and dangerous to ignore people. You never know when you might want their input and opinions later on.

5. What's your current relationship status?
Happily married to the love of my life. (Sigh! I am very lucky.)

6. What are you wearing right now?
A Red Sox sweathshirt and jammy pants. (Okay, I have a Patriots tee on under the Red Sox Sweatshirt. I am, sigh, a wicked homer.)

Nothing. Ruminating.

9. Your favorite body part OF YOUR OWN.

People. Family, friends, community. And people who show courage are my especial best loves.

11. What makes you most happy?
Everything. The world is a joyous place.

12. Are you musically inclined?
I am musically illiterate, for all intents and purposes. I love music, but I never remember the name of a song or who did it. Sigh!

13. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out you were on cocaine?
Ahm, I have no idea cuz I don't know what that's like. I once woke up from surgery after having drugs and that wasn't fun at all. I guess I would wait for it to wear off.

14. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
I would have worn black in That Pub in Boston and sat near the end of the table.

15. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day, what will you be?
Tigress

16. Ever have a near death experience?
'04 loss. 'nuff said.

17. Name ONE obvious quality you have.
Ahm, I talk a lot. (And am a 'wicked' hand-talker. sigh! If I had to sit on my hands, I probably wouldn't be able to epxress myself at all.)

18. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
none. Although it took me weeks to clear 'It's a Small World' out of my head after a vist to Disneyland in 2003. It just got lodged in the cerebellum and resisted all attempts at a cortical yank. I had to wait for it to lie low and then send in a SWAT team to expel it from my cranial region. Disney is evil. Let that be a lesson to you.

19. Are you happy today?
I am happy 90% of the time. Then I watch the news and see That Friggin Idiot. Yeesh! Then I get happy again.

20. Who will complete this next?
Dunno.

21. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Saracet. And my sister-in-law Cindy.

22. Who was your first crush?
I just drew a blank. I think it was Tom from Salem, but it might have been his cousin. Tom played football and I went to the games and rooted against my hometeam, just for him. "Go, Witches, Go!" (Ahm, yes, the nickname for the Salem high school football team is the Witches. It's not a common chant, I gather, among football fans.)

23. Have you ever vandalized someone else's property?
No. I am a boring straight arrow. (Well, except for that one time I knee-ed someone in a tender area, but I digress.)

24. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Ahm, well, see above.

25.Have you ever sang in front of a large audience?
Yes. At large, gathering of the clan weddings, I get to sing the Irish songs, both weepy and wonderous.

26.What's the first thing you notice about the opposite/same sex?
Eyes. Then sense of humor.

27.What do you usually order from Starbucks?
I never usually go to Starbucks. The smell of the place triggers my migraines. Orange Juice, like in Boston, I guess.

28. What is your biggest mistake?
"Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention."

29. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
No.

35. What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
Deleted. blush, blush.

36.When do you know it's love?
I had a bad miscarriage once and went into shock from acute blood loss. I 'woke up' to see a nurse on one side of me and my husband on the other, both of them squeezing a plastic IV container in order to get fluids into me in a hurry so I could stabilize and go into surgery. I will never, ever, never forget the look on my husband's face. That was eternal love. I never want to hurt that man or cause him pain. Cuz he loves me.

I speak Masshole. -- Me too, with a North Shore twist.

38. What is your favorite smell?
vanilla, the seashore, a new book.

39. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?

41. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Yes. Ahm, nuff said. It was a good time.

42. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
Oh yes. There have been many who I now keep in my heart.

43. Do you ever watch MTV?
No. My kids would not let me.

44.What's something that really annoys you?
Sen. George Allen -R-Stupidity. There is something about that man that just annoys the crap out of me.

Getting together and shooting the shit with people. That's wonderful.

46. Do you like Michael Jackson?
Not particularly, but I ignore the man.

48.What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
I don't do all-nighters. They fuzz up my brain.

49. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
Yeah, cuz, of course I will. Someday. This knowledge gives life both it's sweetness and it's

"I shall pass this way but once, any good,therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." -Dale Carnegie
