Do you use toothpaste?: Duh.
What was the last thing you dreamed about?: I just dreamt that I got a $100 manicure...and it was chipped. A genuine nightmare.
What colour is your bedroom carpet?: Apartment beige.
How many passengers does your car hold?: Five comfortably, and I've never pushed that envelope.
Have you ever had a black and white cat?: No, cats aren't my thing.
What is your favourite canned soup?: Not big into canned soup unless it's hearty, like New England Clam Chowder!

Do you know all the words to the Star Spangled Banner?: I say I do, but who knows.
Do you have any moles?: I have this tiny brown thing on the back of my neck, but I'm not sure it constitutes a 'mole.'
What kind of car were you driving two years ago?: A dark green, 2002 Chevy Cavalier. It got totaled in August. :*(
Would you rather have an STI or share a bed with Michael Jackson?: Well, I'm a grown woman, so I don't think MJ would pose any sort of threat there.

Have you ever applied for a job where you had to wear skimpy clothes?: No, I don't think I have that in me.
How many pairs of underwear do you own?: Hold on while I go count. I don't know! Enough to get me through the week. Geez.

What is the last thing you read?: "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" by Gregory Maguire. He's my new favorite author.

What is the last thing you stapled?: Some papers at work yesterday. How is this interesting at all?

When was the last time you had a Krispy Kreme doughnut?: One of my co-workers bought a whole box for us on Thursday. Very yummy, to say the least.

God loves Journey.

Most girls dream of their wedding day from a very early age. The perfectly-coordinated color scheme, the aroma of true love in the air, and (of course) that magnanimous dress all synergize to make for...

Im an aunt!

I woke up yesterday feeling like garbage (most of which I attribute to the ridiculous pollen count, and a rainy date outdoors with a hot guy on Friday night, but I digress). After a pathetic attempt t...

Zeppelin + PBR = Good Memories.

I talked to my cousin in Syracuse today, and she's getting married in August  the perfect excuse for me to travel back home.   I don't know why, but I've been thinking about my old stomping grou...

Rednecks are funny.

The following are some of the funniest pictures ever to be found on the Internet, and I thought I'd share with  you fine people. They seem too funny to be true, but apparently they are. If you li...

Fuck Comcast.

Life is so funny. One minute, you're dying to get out of a dead-end job, the next minute, you get a call from the state Capitol asking if you want to work in their press office - three weeks after you...

I'm such a child.

Is it wrong for me to want to be a child again?    I live every day of my life according to the adult creed  respect authority, work like a dog, and pay bills until you grow old and die. B...

In the ghetto.

I've GOT to get the hell out of this apartment complex.   Since moving out of my mother's house years ago, I've probably lived in four apartments, and never have I felt so unsafe. Who would've t...

Life, the universe and everything.

It's been forever since I've written one of these things. For some reason or another, I haven't felt very inspired lately. Something about Carrollton just sucks the life out of me.   I would like...
