nemesisbecoming, since she asked first.)

Yes I can! I'm pretty good at it, too.

Panic, calm down and call for help, panic that they weren't coming fast enough, try to calm down, panic more, then finally get too tired to panic.

I wish I could sing. Or do whatever it is that people who work in finance do that make them very, very rich.

5. Favorite vegetable?
Green beans.
6. What was the last book you read?

8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
one piercing in each ear.
9. Worst Habit?
Excessive and obsessive worrying.
HERE COMES THE FUN ...
1. How did we meet?
On the internets!
2. What's your philosophy on life?
There are a few (I'm worse than Sally Brown, I swear) Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!, It's always darkest before it goes pitch black, and most of all, You only live once.
3. Negative or Optimistic?
It honestly depends on how much sleep I've had, but usually I'm fairly optimistic.
4. What was your dream growing up?
To own a red sports car, and to be a famous writer. Wow. I guess my dreams haven't changed much.
5. What is the best thing that ever happened to you?
Too early to tell. Mostly likely the winner will be meeting all of the friends I have now, as it doesn't get better than you people.
6. What was your first impression of me?
She's funny!
7. Tell me one weird fact about you:
I am allergic to avocados.
8. Whats your favorite memory of us?
The Brooklyn Museum's first night party back in August (or maybe September?) Whichever one had The Boy defending me from the creeps of the world and you beaming/laughing from the sidelines. Good Times.
9. Tell me your favorite joke:
One night a guy walks into a bar and takes a tiny piano out of his pocket. He orders a drink, then produces from another pocket a man that was less than a foot tall, dressed in a tuxedo. After being placed on the bar, the little man walks to the piano and begins to play a sonata. The bartender is amazed. In all of his years and after all of the crazy things he's seen, this was the most unbelievable. So he asks the guy who walked in how he managed to find this tiny musician.
The guy hands the bartender a genie's lamp. The bartender grabs it eagerly, rubs it, and is greeted by an enormous genie, who emerges in a puff of smoke.
"What is your wish?" He asks the bartender in a booming voice.
"I want a million bucks!" The bartender cries.
In an instant, the genie is gone, and every door and window in the bar flies open as hundreds and hundreds of ducks come pouring into the bar, quacking and flapping around. "This isn't what I asked for!!" The bartender yells at the man.
"You're telling me! You think I asked for a nine-inch PIANIST?"
10. Have you ever kept anything from me?
There was this postcard I forgot to mail, but nothing major comes to mind.
11. What do you think of me as a Person?
I think you're a survivor, and a really cool person.
12. Do you think I'm sane or insane?
The only worthwhile people I know are insane in some way, so definitely insane.
13. Would you cry for me if I died?
Yes.
14. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Depends on the situation, but I usually wind up being the Jiminy Cricket. I'm trying to work on that, but old habits die hard.
15. If you could change anything about me, would you?
I'd see you more!
16. How do you fall asleep?
In bed.
17. Ever gotten angry with me?
Not that I can recall.
18. Would you go on a blind date if I set you up?
Probably.
19. If you had one day to live, what would you do?
Try to indulge in all 7 deadly sins. And not think about tomorrow.
20. A million bucks.. what would you do with it?
Pay off my debts and buy an apartment.
21. What is your worst fear?
I'm not entirely sure. Probably dying before I'm old.
22. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Spare time? What is this spare time?
23. Can you sing or dance?
I'm a decent dancer, and I don't embarrass myself at karaoke.
24. In one word, how would you describe me? Be honest....
Vibrant.
25. Will you repost this so I can fill it out ?
Yes!
