ME

"The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile, and watch your answers change." ~Richard Bach

LIVE: NY
LIVING ARRANGEMENT: at home? With my furry kids: 1 Buddy, 1 Skippy and 1 Angel and the four of us live separately on the back of Dad's house.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUIJA BOARDS? Hmm...A glossy sort of coated peg board-type of material (without the peg holes) imprinted with an alphabet and some "yes/no"'s that somehow are singled out by an indicator piece driven by several neurotic teenage girls attempting to find out the name of someone they've never met but will, one day, marry. But, do they work?
YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW(s)? The Cosby Show, and I'm kind of addicted to soap operas too :-)
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Disney World logo, what else?
FAVORITE SMELL? Lilac
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? having a bad reaction to dye used in a CT scan and ending up with every possible symptom they tell you to watch out for afterwards (i.e. upchucking your Aunt Ro's dinner). Also, having a tooth infection you can't feel because of facial paralysis almost kill you.
BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD? sitting by the water in Lake George, NY :-)
FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK? An American Tail and/or The Lion King
FAVORITE MUSIC ALBUM? A tie between Mariah Carey's Music Box and Daydream (not only because I love both, but because nearly every song has meaningful lyrics that are special to me for one reason or another). I also had a thing for Michael Bolton. Maybe I still do :-)

Depending on which song has gotten stuck in my head again, "Would you shut up already?!" may be in order. I also say good morning to Jesus and thank Him for guiding my earthly body through the night.

right in front of it anyway, I don't know it's ringing)

~MisC~

KIND OF FOOD, AND 1 OTHER THING, WHAT WOULD THEY BE? Ok, Eeyore, a good hymnal (in place of the CD), bananas (with any luck they'll grow on the island anyway), and a Bible.
IF U KNEW THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END IN EXACTLY 1 HOUR WHAT WOULD U DO? First, I would start praying. Second, I'd probably do something fun, like eat my very last Mint Chocolate Twist (just in case the world really was ending so prayers had no effect ;-).
IF U WON A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD AND COULD BRING 4 PEOPLE WHO WOULD
THEY BE? Let's see.....Me, Myself, I, and one other undetermined person. (Is that allowed?)
WHAT IS ONE GREAT THING IN UR LIFE NOW?? The fact that I'm alive, cheerful in spite of everything, have developed a closer relationship with God, and have several good friends who continue to communicate with me for reasons I cannnot fathom.
