We interrupt our totally nonexistent programming for this meme.
When's the last time you had a cupcake?
Hrm. It's been a while.
Are you putting something off at the moment?
Not especially, no.
Have you ever seen the film, "Amelie"?
Many times.
Does yelling make you cringe?
Well, it would depend on what exactly was being yelled.
What's the saddest song you've ever heard?
"Ruby's Arms" by Tom Waits
Give me a lyric that describes how you're feeling right now:
"Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" - I mean it, the sunscreen bit. I was out in the sun all day and I might have gotten the SPF 70 a bit too late, or not applied often enough, my face feels a bit burnt. Seriously though, SPF 70. That's how white I am.
Did you know that pure vanilla extract has 35% alcohol in it?
Yep.
Do you read romance novels?
Not my bag.
Are you a fan of Melissa Joan Hart?
I LOVED "Clarissa Explains it All" as a kid.
Would you ever install a star bucks in your house?
Nope. I used to work in a coffee shop. I prefer my home not to smell like something I associate with "work."
Do you believe in reincarnation? Why or why not?
Yeah, I'm big on the karmic cycle.
What age were you when you stopped getting an Easter basket?
I haven't.
Are your nails painted at the moment?
My toe nails are painted red for the RED SOX.
Last school project you completed?
My Div Mother-Effin III. (And by "completed," I mostly mean "lived through." If you don't know what a Div III is... well... it's like the academic equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest in flip-flops.)
What are you having for dinner tonight?
I had FENWAY PARK HOT DOGS, y'all.

It doesn't matter.

No.
Do you think the atomic bomb should've been dropped on Hiroshima? Why?
I honestly believe that the decision was made with the best information available, and I don't think that I would have known anything at the time that would have prevented me from making the same decision. It's way too easy to armchair-quarterback from 60 years out and say "Well, that was a mistake," but I do believe that *that* particular decision was made from a slew of possible choices, all of which would have been bad.
Have you ever made a home-made pizza?
Yup.
What's your song for the road?
Just one? "More Than A Feeling" is a classic for air-drumming.
Do you ever watch 'Full House'?
I did, many years ago.
How would you chose your last moments of life?
I would rather not choose them, to be honest. I'd like my death to be sort of like "SURPRISE! You're dead!" So, I guess I'd like them to be just like all of my other moments, which is to say, preferably relaxed and groovy.
Would you rather dress like you were from the 70's or 80's?
80's, I guess. I managed to live through them, though being a young child did make that a bit easier.

Meh, I don't think I ever got a trophy that wasn't like "Good Hustle!" or some lame thing like that. I got a few academic awards in High School, but that's it.
Your favorite way to travel?
Train.
Sleep with socks on or off?
Sometimes I start sleeping with my socks on because my feet are cold, but always, the socks end up off and my feet are sticking out of the blankets by the time the night is over.
