Five Things

Got this from Ted:

Five snacks I enjoy in a perfect, non weight-gaining world:

Cheese cake
Chips and salsa
Choclate ice cream with chocolate jimmies
Cheese and crackers
Pita and hummus

Five snacks I enjoy in the real world:

Yeah, so, see above. But okay, I’ll play along:

Carrot sticks and hummus
Weight Watchers ice cream sandwiches
Peaches (my favorite fruit ever)
Dannon Light ‘n Fit yogart (either vanilla or strawberry/kiwi)
Slices of bell pepper with balsalmic vinaigrette

Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Travel. Mainly to third world countries in the Middle East and Central Asia. Places I would go: I would spend no less than a year in Iran. I would travel through Iraq, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Syria, Kazakhstan … any “stan” at all, I’m there.

Buy a couple houses. I would buy an apartment in New York – either on the upper West or in Tribeca. I would buy a cottage in County Mayo. I would buy a beach house in Rhode Island. I’d keep an apartment in Chicago.

Support a theatre company. There are so many – so I would have to think specifically about which one I wanted to invest in. Maybe the Arden Theatre in Philadelphia, a company I admire. Or maybe another one. Who knows. But I would invest in a company, an ensemble, doing work I believed in. Along with that, I would set up scholarships for young actors.

On a frivolous note, at one of my homes, I would have the best roller coaster on the planet built in my backyard. I would ride it every day.

I’d set up a trust fund for Cashel

Five (non-academic) jobs that I have had:

— AOL chat host backstage at Comic Relief
— Factory worker
— Library page
— one-night-only lingerie model at a private party held at some random house where the lingerie company hosted a party for husbands to come and buy crap for their wives (one of the funniest and bleakest nights of my life)
— waitress

Five habits:

Waking up at 5:30 a.m.
writing (journal, blog, whatever)
Some OCD behavior that I don’t care to share
making my bed
idolizing/idealizing whomever I am in love with

Five places I have lived:

San Francisco
Philadelphia
Los Angeles
Chicago
New York

Five people I want to get to know better

I think this is supposed to be bloggers I tag with the meme – but I don’t really tag people (consider yourself tagged) – so I’ll take it another way:

Dean Stockwell
Jason Beghe
Angelina Jolie
John Banville
Gene Hackman

    I’m glad you considered yourself tagged because I just couldn’t think how I could know you any better than I already do!
