What game are you really good at?
Having grown up with every single gaming system known to man, this game Netropolis is the only one I managed not to completely suck at. Not exactly sure what it says about me since the game is about destroying your opponent.
How many TVs do you have in your house?
Seven televisions. And one 106in. front projection screen.
Tell us two truths and a lie about yourself.
1. I have two different sized feet.
2. I have only ever kissed one boy.
3. I can't leave the house without lipstick on.
Guess which one is the lie...
What is your favorite term of endearment?

Being called "Miss."
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
Is there something completely wrong with me that I can't recall having a celebrity crush? I have no recollection of combing through magazines to find a certain celebrities picture or watching their movies or listening to their record. No hidden shoebox stuffed full of their cut-out photos. No daydreams about getting married and how beautiful our children would be.
What are five things you're good at?
Submitted by HapaLove.
Just five? How could I possibly pick just five when I am good at so many things? More importantly, the question should read, "What are you not good at?" Then I could answer "When I find something, I'll be sure to write it here."
What was the worst job you ever had?
Submitted by salaryman.
*knocks on wood* I haven't had a bad job yet. In fact, I've only ever had one real job in my entire life.
Last year, I worked as a secretary/receptionist/pre-processor for a mortgage company. My boss was my cousin. I only worked 32hrs. a week because the head of the company didn't want to have to pay me benefits which is the only part of the job that was bad. Well, along with the 30mins. to and from drive every day. And the occasional times when all six phone lines would ring almost simultaneously.
Monday - Thursday I worked 10:00am - 5:00pm. Friday's I worked 9:00am - 1:00pm.
I spent my time at work listening to music, playing Netropolis, and chatting on Msn Messenger. Some days I would watch movies or Veronica Mars. I was allowed to leave to get food when ever I wanted. Because my cousin was so busy, I often went and got food for him, which he would then buy my food for the trouble. When I left to get food I would often stop at Target or drive further on down to the mall and just walk around for a bit. No one cared that it took me over an hour to pick up something to eat.
Did I mention I worked within 100ft. of Graeter's Ice Cream? From my desk I could stare at the drive-thru all day. I found it most funny that the store would be most busy on days it was raining or freezing cold outside.
What is one of your favorite poems?
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.
I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz-- Pablo Neruda
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?

What method do you use to prepare your coffee or tea?
Submitted by AgentBouche.
I use the lazy way. A cup filled with filtered water and microwaved for 1 1/2 minutes. Then I place my green tea bag and let steep for about 3 minutes or so. After which, I press the teabag against the cup, forcing out as much liquid as possible. Then I let cool slightly and drink.
One of my favorite green teas is made by a company called Harney and Sons. I like their blend called "Chinese Flower" which is "green tea with flowers and lemon."
