Got pumped full of steroids for several of my early teenage years (allergies and asthma), which does NOTHING GOOD for your body size/type or height� 53. What is a 'must have' personality trait- Intelligence, honesty, and a good sense of humor with a little goofiness 54. What kind of thing do I find romantic- Attention to little things, holding hands, my favorite flowers for no reason, enjoying the silences, going for walks, watching a good/cheesy movie together without really talking� I am really a hopeless romantic that has spent her life looking for her soul mate 55. When�s the last time I got a real letter- December 2003- a letter from my crappy father and 2 postcards from Marta from Europe 56. When�s the last time you read a book- I do almost everyday, I'm currently reading The Princess Bride 57. What pets do I have- currently just a black kitten named Queen Zephyr Annabella (Zephyr, a.k.a. Satan's Kitty) and 2 old box turtles that I just adopted named Elliot and Sadie. The family also has an old brown and black tabby cat named Priscilla (Prissy, she came with the name).

My favorite food- Thai, pasta, bread, sushi, salmon� 59. My favorite beverages- I like juice, pop, and coffee but I have acid reflux disease so I am limited in what I can drink.

DoI believe in love at first sight- Yeah, and soul mates, but not like most people. I think that everyone has a few people meant exactly for them and they are lucky if they manage to find and hold onto one of those people. I also believe that you can know in an instant if there is anything between you and another person, whether it is true love or familial love/eternal friendship is a different story. Everyone has people out there that complement them perfectly and make them happy, and its not just one true love, but a group of people that have serve different purposes/needs� does that make any sense�? 72. Do I believe in horoscopes- Nope. My future is not in the stars. It�s up to me and God. That�s it� 73. My religion- I�m Lutheran, I go to church, I believe in God and that He gave us Jesus to die for our sins and that we are saved only because of this, not because of anything we do. Not all my friends and family have the same beliefs and that�s ok with me as long as we respect one another�s rights and beliefs� I find Buddhism and such to be very interesting, they share some of the same morals/principals with Christianity, about peace and love� 74. My eye Color- Hazel green. They look more blue or gray or green depending on my mood and clothes� 75. Do I agree with 'friends with benefits'- NOPE 76. Memory/thing I miss most- Being on stage crew and yearbook staff in high school, living in the city� 77. If I could go back in time- maybe I�d be an original beatnik, travel Route 66 with Kerouc or I'd go back 10-15 years and demand to meet my sisters 78. My biggest fear- Public speaking, heights, going under large bridges with lots of cars/trains on them, being alone forever 79.

My future kids� names- hehe, this week? Right now I like Rebecca Noelle and Bethany Grace for girls, and Elijah James and Nathaniel Grey for boys�I�ve a name hobby/obsession� see NAME PAGES (not made/linked up yet) 83. Where will I live- Chicago, Chicago �burbs, New York 84. Have I ever done the nasty- Not 'til I�m married or really close- i.e. engaged and days from the wedding, but I�d prefer to wait� What's a better, more intimate, personal and loving gift that can you give someone but yourself- and you can only give yourself to someone for the first time once� 85. Do I think drugs should be legalized- hmm, some should be, the less harmful ones, people will do them no matter what, and the government could make a lot of money, i.e.- legalize, regulate and tax marijuana� PAGE 2 |
