I would ban "Lord of the Flies" from school libraries. That book is freaking pointless and a total waste of valuable teaching and learning time.

What’s the perfect gift to give to the person who has everything? Sponsored by Best Buy. Find holiday gifts for everyone on your list. |
Non-refundable tickets to something/somewhere very cool. For instance, I bought Jeff Dunham tickets for my dad for his birthday and he & I had a blast.

My all-time favorite love scene is between Sam and Joon in "Benny and Joon." I love it because it is not this ridiculous over-the-top sex scene; it is an innocent sexual encounter between two misfits that genuinely love and respect one another. My heart melts everytime I hear Johnny Depp: "Joon? I...I love you." Classic.

I think it is both: I think you can instantly have chemistry with someone that continues to evolve over time. Yes, I have given someone a second chance, and no, I don't regret one day that I spent with him -- in fact we are still friends to this day. No, I have not fallen in love with someone I didn't particularly like at first.

No, I have never participated in a seance. I would consider it if I could communicate with a famous author. I would probably ask Mark Twain (the great American cynic) his opinion of the world today. Yes, I believe we can recieve messages from the dead.

I think it would be the night of my first date with Carlos. We went to dinner and wound up talking and making out in this little private lounge place in the back of the restaurant (we called it "the box"). It was one of the best nights of my life.

I would want to spend that last night surrounded by the people I love, sharing stories and laughing. I would not want to be alone.

I would find a way to make things work with Carlos. He is the love of my life and it is so frustrating that it is so hard for us to be together. I would do anything to simplify that situation. And no, I am not currently working toward a serious life transition. I am working on allowing myself to relax and enjoy time with my friends and family now that school is behind me.

Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why? Submitted By |
I would like to go out with Brendan Dorf (Reid Scott) from "My Boys". He is adorable, funny, and cool as hell.

If a friend cracks a corny joke, do you force yourself to laugh politely? What about if it's your boss or teacher? Do you get annoyed if someone else pretends to be amused? Submitted By |
Because I take humor very seriously, I cannot bring myself to laugh if something isn't funny, I don't care who the person is. And yes, I hate it when someone else pretends to be amused...they come across as a total kiss-ass.

If you only had one day left to live, and you had the chance to tell one person from your past "I love you," who would it be? How about "I'm sorry"? Submitted By |
The person would be one and the same: my ex-boyfriend Carlos. I have told him I love him, but would want to tell him again. I would also tell him that I am sorry that I was not more available to him when we were together. He is the love of my life and I hate that I've lost him,

If you found out you only had six months left to live, what would you do with the rest of your life? Do you have a "bucket list"? Submitted By |
In six months, I would spend as much as possible with my family. However, if I were to spread it out over a longer lifetime, my bucket list looks something like this:
1) See Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp in "Rent"
2) Create a life with the love of my life (not necessarily marriage, certainly no kids)
3) Travel to Bali and smoke a good cigar
4) Take the summer and travel back east (New York, Philidelphia, Boston, and Washington D.C.)
5) Write something compelling
6) Buy a house and make it my own
7) Take a stab at writing professionally
8) Rally for change in public education

I have issues with crowds and being touched (hugging me, putting a hand on my arm/shoulder, poking me, etc). I have forced myself to become more social, though I have to fight the impulse to hide, and I think I will always be weird about people touching me,

What is it about your favorite local small business that keeps you coming back again and again? Sponsored by American Express in association with NBC Universal for Shine A Light. |
The food! My two favorite local businesses are a chinese restaurant and a burger joint, both of which have been around forever. I hope they never close.

Yes, I believe in soulmates, and yes, I know I've found him. Unfortunately, he got away. We are still good friends, and even though we can't make a romantic relationship work, I know I will love him for the rest of my life.
08 October 2009 @ 12:32 pm
Yes, I am very happy at my current job. I would even go so far as to say that I have found my dream job. In five or ten years, I hope to either be with the company I'm with now, or being doing something else related to English. I have recently finished up my BA in English/Language Arts and plan to continue my education down the road.

I tend to bring a variety; a little humor (David Sedaris and Sloane Crosley), a little history/historical fiction (Simon Winchester, Matthew Pearl), and a stack of cheap magazines. I have my specific tastes, but I will read anything (save for science fiction) to pass the time.

It depends on how sick I am. If I have a small cold, I will go to work/school. If I am on antibiotics, I tend to stay home. No matter the circumstance, I prefer to be alone when I am sick. I stock up on medicine, make sure a cold Diet Coke is within reach, put in a good movie, and hunker down in bed.

My best friend and I will have known eachother for 18 years this spring. It is quite incredible that our friendship has lasted this long as we have virtually NOTHING in common, yet I love her like a sister. I have a small group of friends, unfortunately I can go a long time without talking to most of them. My best friend and I are better at keeping in touch.
