Today while I was navigating Friendster, I got one of those forwards nobody likes to get but we all fill out when we’re bored, so I thought I’d share my responses with you (whether you want it or not):

1. WHAT IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME?
McLean

2. WHAT KIND OF PANTS ARE YOU WEARING AND WHAT COLOR?
Camel-colored corderoys with rivets running down the side; they're Vincent's favorite because he likes the way they hug my tushie...

3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
Vincent ripping every last one of our CDs into MP3s. He has to listen to each song individually to make sure there are no skips. During Depeche Mode week I wanted to kill myself...

4. WHAT ARE THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER?
What the f&#$? If you loved me, you'd already know.

5. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
Leftover Halloween candy. A Snickers Cruncher bar.

6. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
Today, pink.

7. HOW IS THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW?
Completely uninspiring. And today was supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life...

8. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
One of the most beautiful people I know, my friend Starr. Either that or this pregnant lady (two weeks til due date) I made cry yesterday when I told her she had committed a felony when she committed passport fraud. I don't remember which.

9. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Face. And if they're arrogant.

10. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU THIS?
Katy should be ashamed.

11. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Depressed. Who the heck asked for daylight savings time so we could all get out of work at the onset of darkness??!

12. FAVORITE DRINK?
Water and cammomile tea.

13. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
I like my men like I like my alcohol: sweet and intoxicating. Therefore, Baileys on the rocks.

14. FAVORITE SPORTS?
In my fantasy-land, or in real life? Because I really think rock-climbing is the sport for me; I just haven't climbed a cliff yet (not the way you're supposed to anyway). In real life, I've dabbled in track & field, soccer, tae kwon do, hiking, volleyball... You name it, I've tried it. And just for the record, if we're playing football, two-hand touch is for weenies.

15. HAIR COLOR?
Brown.

16. EYE COLOR?
My dad says I'm so full of crap my eyes turned brown. But this also comes from the man who claims I have the most beautiful blue eyes he's ever seen...

17. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Um, not if I want to see.

18. SIBLINGS AND THEIR AGES?
My one and only, Dan, 26. My mom also has two mutts she tells everyone are my sisters.

19. FAVORITE MONTH?
September/October - when the leaves are changing and the weather is rather consistent.

20. FAVORITE FOOD?
Anything my mom cooks. Nepalese / German / Irish / Italian fare. My own cooking. Vegetables. Fruits. Starches. I ABHOR fast food.

21. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
In the theatre: Under the Tuscan Sun, Lost in Translation and Kill Bill are amongst the latest. Tonight I am going to see Matrix: Revolutions.

Rental: Adaptation, 8 Women

Sundance Film Channel: Spin the Bottle, Bartleby

I recommend all three I saw in the theatre and NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING I rented or TIVOed.

22. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?
Thanksgiving, by far. Who isn't a fan of a holiday devoted entirely to eating too much, unbuttoning your pants, and watching your family wash the dishes as you slowly pass out...?

23. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?
Thus far, I've asked out most of my men. Many people look at me like I've lost my marbles, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, folks.

24. DO YOU LIKE SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Neither. I like depressing endings that are true to life and lend some sort of life lesson. But if I have to choose, I would go for happy endings as I don't take to being frightened very well. I was always scared of the dark as a child.

25. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Yes.

26. HUGS OR KISSES?
Big, old, snuggly hugs.

28. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?
Chocolate, but that's only because I hate vanilla even more than I hate chocolate.

29. DO YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO WRITEBACK?
Yes, but the real question is, WILL THEY? (Reminder to all, I have a gun and I know where you live... )

30. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Whoever is most bored at the moment. Like me right now.

31. WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
People who have a life.

32. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING?
Harry Potter.

33. WHAT'S ON YOUR SCREEN SAVER/DESKTOP?
An orangish black abstract of a sky, I believe.

34. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Scrabble. Or Clue. Maybe even Life.

35. WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?
Staid out late at work for something called Crim Night. Which basically means that we all stay up to midnight, scouring around the slumiest neighborhoods in New York, looking for some poor schmucks who lied on their passport applications. Really, it doesn't get any better than this...

36. FAVORITE SMELL
The hint of Autumn on the wind. A crackling fire. Hot apple cider. Laundry vents. Chlorinated swimming pools. Baby powder. Thanksgiving.

37. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Chi-chi, you're a 23-pound cat and you're not starving so shut the fah-zuck up!!!
