(Ie another country and culture, totally different socio-economic in another part of the country) Well, I feel like I *should* say I'd like to experience a day in the life of someone incredibly poor in a third world country. But frankly, at this precise moment, I would choose to spend a day as a fabulously beautiful, rich, and famous actress. I know the constant scrutiny and paparazzi must be a huge pain, but I truly would like to see what a typical day is like for them. Being that I once aspired to be an actress, I would choose a day when they're performing/filming as well. 2. What was your most memorable job interview? That would have to be the interview for my current very part-time job. Very long story, but the quick version is that I was not intending to work at all, happened to see a newspaper advertisement looking for someone to drive a visually impaired person on their errands, and answered it on a whim. A few days later I met the person needing the driver (and her grown daughter) at a Wendy's. Within less than ten minutes of chatting, she offered me the job, I accepted it, and five years later, I still have the job, and the woman has become one of my dearest friends. 3. What is your most interesting College student? (Especially the years you lived in a dorm, or frat house) Not sure exactly what the question is here. . . most interesting college student I met while I was a student, maybe? We'll go with that. Mr. Glitter. ;-) Time for some new questions. Hm. 1. You are going to live for ten years on a deserted island. You may take ten possessions with you. What are they? (Assume that you will have a small survival gear pack with water containers, fire making implements, weapons/hunting items, etc.) So what ten personal/luxury/comfort items would you take? 2. Name five of your favorite songs. 3. As in the Demi Moore/Robert Redford movie, you are offered the chance to prostitute yourself for one night only to a wealthy (but just average looking) person you have just met for the price of $1,000,000. In this scenario, you have a monogamous significant other. Said SO is totally fine with either decision you make and is leaving it up to you. What choice do you make and why?

It's obvious - no one would want me so nothing would happen. =============== QUESTIONS: I. From this refrain: "You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best/I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left/These so-called vacations will soon be my death/I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest." - What month long vacation would do this to you? II. What's the wildest thing you did in school? III. What's the wildest thing you did at work?

Swimming accross the English Channel. They don't have sharks, lamprey, piranha or water snakes in the English Channel do they? Change of plans, found this news item. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3505171.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci ence/nature/3505171.stm</a> OK, doing a walk-about in Brisbane, Australia. I can handle pythons. II. What's the wildest thing you did in school? That would probably be the year I was a full time student at both Rhode Island College and Providence Collge AT THE SAME TIME. Never never never do that again. III. What's the wildest thing you did at work? We all hear the stories from phone guys about walking into a home and finding a nude women. Well that happened to me the frist week on the job with the phone company. And I had called firt to the the customer know I was on my way there. 1) OK, Your ultimate vacation would be? 2) You just got free use of a Learjet and can fly anywhere in the world for dinner.

Where would you go, who would be going with you and what would you eat? Austria. Agh. These are always so hard for me - as soon as I say "Austria" I think of 17 other places I'd want to go. lol. I'm married now so I can't say who I'd go with. lol. And I would be totally adventurous and try whatever the chef recommended. So long as they had ketchup in case I didn't like it. hahaha. 3) You favorite gift you have ever received is? everything I've gotten from my kids, my high school graduation gift (car and trip to Europe) and then one year a girlfriend of mine who knew I was totally at the end of my rope went and left a huge cooler on my doorstep so when I came home from work that day (my birthday) I had an entire meal in the cooler on my doorstep. It was one of the sweetest, most thoughtful things anyone has ever done for me. Good questions, KT. Let's do those again. 1) OK, Your ultimate vacation would be? 2) You just got free use of a Learjet and can fly anywhere in the world for dinner. Where would you go, who would be going with you and what would you eat? 3) You favorite gift you have ever received is?

I could go on and on. 2) You just got free use of a Learjet and can fly anywhere in the world for dinner. Where would you go, who would be going with you and what would you eat? This is impossible. Paris, I guess. I'd choose some place that's highly recommended and just go with whatever looked best on the menu at that given moment. I'd take Mr. Glitter with me, except that the silly man has no burning desire to go to France. So I think I'd take my mom. 3) You favorite gift you have ever received is? Another great, but nearly impossible question. Just one, hey? Well, I've told this story before here, but one of my very favorite gifts came from little Miss Glitter when she was in kindergarten. At the time her elementary school had this little booth at Christmas time with a large variety of gifts the children could buy for quite reasonable prices. Mind-boggling variety, really, as they tried to cover everyone the kids might possibly want to get a gift for. Little Miss Glitter came home from her designated shopping day just dancing with excitement. "I found the perfect gift for you, Mommy! Want to see it right now?" LOL! It took all of my persuasive skills over the next few days to keep her from giving me the gift on the spot. On Christmas morning she was more interested in giving me her gift than in opening her own. "Open mine, Mommmy, open mine! I just know you'll love it." Well, of course it could have been the fugliest thing in the world, and I would have loved it. But when I unwrapped her gift and opened the box, I saw the loveliest little china box, heart-shaped and only about an inch and a half across. It's white with tiny blue forget-me-nots painted around the border. Utterly exquisite, and yes, just perfect for me. I have always loved tiny things, and forget-me-nots are also a favorite. I was beaming and starting to tear up just a little over this wonderful gift so lovingly chosen by my little daughter. But as I started thanking her, she said, "No, open it, Mommy, open it! Look at the inside!" So I opened it, and discovered that the box had some words painted on the inside of the bottom half. "Friends for a lifetime." The teary eyes turned into full out bawling while I hugged her and managed to explain that Mommy sometimes cries when she's really, really happy. The little china box sits in state on my dresser to this day as one of my most prized treasures. ************************************* I loved these questions. Let's do them again!

Where would you go, who would be going with you and what would you eat? This would actually be a very long dinner, with each course at a different Disney Park, i'd take along my family and my favourite LP friends since this tab will be picked up by LP (Sorry Doobekah ). 3) You favorite gift you have ever received is? Each and every single gift is equally special and precious. Those questions are now worn out. 1. What is your home like? 2. If you could have a super power what would it be? 3. History is fascinating, what historical place would you like to study about and make a presentation on?

If you could have a super power what would it be? I'd love to be able to fly. 3. History is fascinating, what historical place would you like to study about and make a presentation on? Truthfully, I wouldn't like to make a presentation on any historical place. But just to study and visit, I'd choose Pompeii. *************************************** 1. What three foods would be the hardest for you to give up forever? 2. Describe the worst date you ever went on. 3. What do you most enjoy shopping for?
Originally Posted By trailsend 1. What three foods would be the hardest for you to give up forever? Any chocolate candy; chinese food; vegetables 2. Describe the worst date you ever went on. Long, long ago, and far, far away in my teenage years . . .I had a date with a supposedly "catch" that all the girls swooned over. He was a star football player from a rival high school on his way to being a standout at the University of Georgia. He had this great car; he was totally good-looking; you get the point. Well, if I had intended to discuss him all evening, I guess I would have had a wonderful time. Talk about being self-absorbed . . .what a dud. I was miserable and I guess I showed it. He was not fun at all and actually, not very pleasant. It was an awful date. (I have one more, but this will do) 3. What do you most enjoy shopping for? I love, love, love flea markets, antique stores and garage/yard sales! I enjoy shopping the most for a bargain!!! Next ~ Same questions!
Originally Posted By Lisann22 1. What three foods would be the hardest for you to give up forever? One is not really a food - Coca Cola Classic, I seriously addicted. Beans and Rice - staple. LOL Pizza - OMG, how I love a good pie! 2. Describe the worst date you ever went on. A friend of a friend convinced me to go out with a guy about 10 years ago. I was really reluctant but after several emails and IM's I was feeling okay about it. I met him at his house about a 45min ride from mine and we went to see Circus Soleil (sp). From the minute I met him till the minute I said goodbye it was a nightmare. The guy was 30 going on 12. From his bachelor pad (pig sty) to his car to his manners. Yikes. He was one of those touchy feely kinda guys that made me feel like every brush, every tap was a full on cop. Just gross. He was loud and crass. With serious bragging issues. During the break of the show I ran into 2 guys I used to know growing up who were friends of my cousins. My sheer look of terror gave them a clue. They met up with us after the show and "convinced" the guy that we should go get some drinks afterwards, then "convinced" the guy that they'd take me to my car. I am forever indebted to them and we still laugh about it now. 3. What do you most enjoy shopping for? Other people, seriously or books and music. ;> ----------------------------------------- 1. What is a perfect lazy Sunday for you? 2. You can invite 12 friends for a weekend away, all expenses paid to do something within your own state. What, Where and Why? 3. If you could have any vehicle you wanted right now free - what would it be?
