One of these twenty questions things
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
None. My paternal aunt has the day *after*
2. Where was your first kiss?
July 24 1977. In a 75 Olds Cutlass. Under a damn streetlight. The *whole neighborhood* could have gawked at me, had they chosen.
3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
No. but I should have.
4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Hell yes. It was either that or be assaulted.
5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
Yep. But not the stuff I'm really good at.
6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
The intellect. Then the smile. If the eyes pass, I'm done for.
7. What really turns you on?
All they have to be is smart, gentle, funny and employed.
But I'm voluntarily celibate so...it doesn't matter.
8. What do you order at Starbucks?
Never been. but I like decaf frangelica at the local bookstore.
9. What is your biggest mistake?
Denying my disability. Moving West. Getting into debt. Marrying the right man for the right reasons. Enrolling in lawschool. Never addressing my food addiction. Staying with my most recent ex the MostEvilDisabledManAlive, for as long as I did.
