1. Those paper toilet seat covers in public bathrooms, do you use them?

Nah. I am really good at the balancing act. Most of the time, I just pee and go. I don�t even wash my hands. Yea I know that sounds gross, but actually the germs that are all over the sink AND the paper towel holder are far more worse than my own urine. Urine is used to take the sting out of jelly fish bites and poison ivy so I will risk it. That is just me, oh and those toilet condoms (that is what I call those paper things) never stay on or they never flush right. I did however write a letter on one of those once while I was at a truck stop in Georgia. I had a pen and it seemed like a good idea, so I wrote letters to my friends and I mailed them. They thought it was a hoot.

2. What is on your Christmas Wish List for Santa to bring?

This year I actually don�t have much to want for. Normally I could tell you a list of a million items, but now with the house and the new car, I guess I have everything that I need. BUT I guess since your are asking�I would like a new t.v. ours is starting to blur out a bit. We can�t see the score of the game or read the guide on the guide channel. I would like a new floor in the bathroom, I would like a remote car starter and a new computer. OH and I would like the slippers that I saw at the Red Wing Shoe store, Oh yea and my engagement ring, but I know that isn�t going to happen.

3. In the month of November, Brian wrote over 50,000 words on his novel and is nearing completion. What did you accomplish in the month of November?

Well I finished painting my two rooms, I managed to clean the house, organize and unpack the remainder of my boxes. That is huge for me. We had Thanksgiving dinner for 23 and a party almost every weekend. Obviously I didn�t save the world or any furry animals, but I accomplished a lot for me.

4. Have you ever snuck into someplace that you shouldn't have? Tell me about that.

Well yea. I used to sneek around a lot. One time I �snuck� (read: broke in) to my ex�s apartment ( I used to live there). I still had the key and I just wanted to see�I was a bit on the mental side, I wasn�t taking this break up well at all, and I found out he was dating a new girl. Anyway I knew he was out, so I went right in. I looked threw all his drawers and I took all the condoms that he bought, I took his newly acquired porno parifinalia. I listened to his answering machine; the new girl had left a message on the machine, actually she left several and I deleted them. I also took $20 for my time and aggravation. Now that I look back, it was totally childish and immature of me to do these things, but when your fianc� tells you that he wants out, a girl doesn�t necessarily have the right frame of mind. Ya know?

5. Do you recall the first internet meme you participated in? How did you come to find out about it? Do you still participate? Why or why not?

I guess I would say diaryland. I found out about d-land because I knew two people who were getting divorced, and one of them �found� love throught their diary. This was a whole new concept to me; internet journaling. I participate, but not on the level that most people do. I certainly don�t really write about most of what I am feeling or what I am experiencing�I just sort of put up the �readers digest� version of my day to day experiences. Once in a while I will open up, but hardly ever. I actually think I am a pretty boring read. WOW that was a random tangent. Sorry. Did I answer the question correctly? Hmmm�.

6. Do you have any favorite internet or "streaming" radio programs or music channels you wish were available in your car or on a portable radio?

Simply answered: no.

7. Ever been skinny dipping? What's the story there?

Heck yea. I had a pool growing up. If I couldn�t sleep at night, I would go jump in the pool in the buff and go for a swim. I used to go skinny dipping with all my friends in high school down at Arcadia Pond after the park closed (hey does this fit into question #4 too?) We would all strip down and run in buck naked. There was really nothing sexual about it either, which I think made it more fun. Just friends having fun.

BONUS: What's cooler than being cool?

I would say being so cool that you don�t know it.

Today's Comment Question: What is up with Michael Jackson anyway?

MJ is a wack-job. I don�t know what is up with him. I do know that any parent who lets their child sleep over a grown man�s house needs to have their own head examined. I think he is going down and will be left with nothing, not even his nose (have you seen how it hangs off his face???)
