C- Cake or Pie. Neither. Sorry to be contrary.
D- Drink of Choice. ginger ale
E- Essential Item. these days it’s my camera
F- Favorite Color. purple

H- Hometown. It’s in Rhode Island. I was born in Boston – I’ve lived all over the country – but my heart, as they say, is in Rhode Island.
I- Indulgence. My massage guy. Bless him.
J- January or February. January. This makes me think of a quote from Mitchell during college. We were having a bad month. It was February. We sat in the Bess Eaton coffee place on campus, bitching and moaning, and Mitchell said, in a tone of venom, “February is the shortest month. But it never fucking ends.”
K- Kids. What about them? Cashel’s my favorite kid.
L- Life is incomplete without

W- Worst Habit. I don’t believe in myself.
X X-rays or Ultrasounds. I’d rather not choose, if my health is involved.

I got this from Belledame.
/Reasons to smile. health, sunshine, phone calls with friends, music I like, my Swiffer/
Hahahahahaha! And it’s even funnier to me because I know you’re totally serious. hahaha!
V Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals.
It’s like a straw poll question.
Cullen,
Hahaha. Yeah, kind of like asking “are you a sensible omnivore or do you just selectively murder innocent vegetables?”
Sheila,
When you write “Sleeping without socks is flat out wrong and should be illegal,” what does the punishment entail for breaking the law exactly? I’d hardly be a repeat offender, since sleep isn’t something I could even consider doing with socks on. I can barely do it with earrings on….
i can’t sleep with socks on; it drives me batty.
Regarding your zodiac sign and you being a textbook case of a Sagittarius: It is odd how these things are sometimes right on. In fact it scares me a little when I read shit like this: Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterwards. they are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting with someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they thought they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the emotion all over again.
And this: DISLIKES
* Aggravating situations (yes)
* Failure (yes)
* Opposition (yes)
* Being told what to do (yes)
* Advice (good or bad (yes)
my wife has that same soul mate.
JV – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Emily, Cullen – have you seen Notting Hill? There is SUCH a funny scene where he ends up on a date with a woman who is a “fruitarian”. She explains to him earnestly (and kind of angrily) that “we believe that all fruit is alive … so we only eat fruit that has already fallen from the tree.” Hugh Grant stares at her blankly – he is so hilarious – he gestures hesitantly at his peach cobbler – “So these peaches …” She finishes the sentence, “Have been murdered.”
hahahahahaha
“How beastly.”
hahahahaha Exactly
Now that I remember it, Sheila, it’s carrots that were murdered in that film, not peaches.
Oh that’s right! Couldn’t remember! … I just remember her self-righteous kind of martyred look … with those little ponytails out of the side of her head, feeling self-righteously bad about the murdered vegetables. hee hee
And I was just thinking about the expression on Hugh Grant’s face as he makes the “beastly” remark. He obviously thinks she’s batshit and everything, but his response was so polite, like…”oh dear. I’ve just eaten a murder victim.”
hahahahahaha Right – like – he knows she’s a moron, but he’s too polite to just say “You’re a moron”.
I saw parts of this for the first time the other day. I had it on while I was doing some cleaning. I did get to see the scene you mentioned. The “dinner was horrible” feeling afterwards was hilarious.
