If so, which ones?:	Getting ahead of ourselves, are we?
Height?:	5'2" and perhaps some change.
Weight?:	Ooh... well, I have been meaning to be honest about this, since I am sick of people thinking 11o lbs is in fact a reasonable weight for most women. So, in the interest of that, I'm hovering somewhere around 145 lbs. I do hope it goes down soon, but not to 110. Ever, really. :)
Do you look like anyone famous?:	I've been told the girl who played Blossom and Alanis Morissette, but I didn't really think either one was correct.

... Some of your favorite things
Movie?:	Most Recently Watched (easier than favorite)-- Syriana.
TV Show?:	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is MRW, and also probably favorite, if I absolutely had to pick just one.
Actress?:	Ummmmmm... I like Kate Winslet a lot. And Susan Sarandon is always good. And Laura Linney.
Actor?:	Um... Alan Rickman? Geofferey Rush? Phillip Seymour Hoffman?
Comedy movie?:	The Birdcage, perhaps, for sheer durability. I like Robin Williams and Nathan Lane too, while we're talking actors.
Romantic movie?:	Hrm. While You Were Sleeping remains a favorite. Sense and Sensibility is always nice, too. There are sexier ones, but for some reason they aren't coming to mind. Oh, I liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a lot.
Historical movie?:	Anne of Green Gables. :)
Music Genre?:	Oh, I don't know. Musicals and soundtracks.
Band?:	UPA Dance! Gogol Bordello! *chuckles*
Singer?:	Always a fan of Paula Cole, and earlier Jewel stuff, and Seal... for actual sound of singing I like Sarah Brightman, and I'm nostalgic about Pavarotti.
Song of all time?:	How am I supposed to have one favorite song of all time? That seems a bit much.
Dance song?:	Me siento bien, by UPA Dance. Well, it's the first thing that came to mind.
Rap song?:	Psalm 51
Pop song?:	Um... see above re. singer, maybe? I don't know.
Country song?:	That Friends in Low Places one is pretty good. And I know it.
R&B song?:	Honestly don't know.
Store [non-clothing]?:	I like Ten Thousand Villages lots. And Garland of Letters. And the Last Word.
Store [clothing]?:	Um... I don't know. At home, I like Charlotte Russe and Fashion Bug. Apparently I don't shop for clothes in Philly. Daffy's seemed neat and cheap.
Clothing brand?:	If I don't even know what my favorite store is...
Couture designer?:	Ha.
Outfit to wear?:	Lately, I've been getting a lot of wear out of my red tailcoatesque pant suit. It's very fancy and very comfy and apparently attractive, so that's three for three. And it's red, just for a bonus.
Underwear?:	Clean and without holes.
Shoes?:	My coolest shoes are my brown and teal boots. My most comfy are my sneakers. Or my winter boots, but they're getting pretty shabby.
Shoe brand?:	Right. New Balance fits my foot, how about that?
Place to go?:	Hell.
Vacation spot?:	Stratford, Ontario.
City?:	Sevilla :)
Animal?:	Bunny. Or lion. Or snake. But probably bunny, because Fluffer was first of all.
Candy?:	Turtles.
Food?:	I like Italian food most of all, usually. Also lobster.
Holiday?:	We just had Christmas, so I'm into it. Also love Easter. And sometimes my birthday.
Month?:	I don't know. April, for my birthday? Maybe?

Sport to play?:	None, really. I kinda liked very informal not on skates gym hockey.
Subject in school?:	English.
Book?:	I truly don't know. My standard have to pick one used to be Winter of Fire, but I haven't read that in years. The Winter Prince is still a winner... but there are so many more it seems unfair. And what about Last Report, and Kiss of the Fur Queen, and A Prayer for Owen Meany... let's go back to Most Recently Read: Cinema Nirvana, a truly amazing and wonderful book about dharma practice and the movies!
Author?:	Still love Madeline L'Engle, L.M. Montgomery, C.S. Lewis, etc. But that list, too, is always growing. Let's add John Irving and Michael Cunningham... who I MET!
Color?:	Red. As it was in the beginning, is now, and... well, we'll see, but I bet.
Cartoon?:	Uh, Sinfest, online. I really like that weird one in the City Paper too, but if I can't remember the name, that's not going anywhere. Peanuts is always a favorite. B.C. is often cute.
Artist?:	I was always a fan of Eli Thomas, though that is some time ago.
Disney movie?:	Beauty and the Beast.
Disney princess? (haha):	What is this haha for? Belle, correspondingly.
Quote?:	Is there anything I haven't already quoted in here? "I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details." --Albert Einstein.

Era in time?:	Um... Middle Ages are always interesting, though I wouldn't want to live there. Hehe, what if I said prehistory? That would be interesting...

Sexual preference?:	I prefer men. A preference, not a rule.
IF you aren't single, how long have you been takent?:	Taken, another bizarre and interesting way to put it.

Have you kissed the opposite sex?:	Yes.

Do you have a computer?:	Her name is Betty.
What kind?:	Compaq... I don't get this, why is this bragging? I didn't do anything exciting to get my computer.
Most expensive pants?:	Um........... No idea. I try not to pay more than $20 or so, but I probably have some that are more like $30 or $40. Like those purply ones with the bells on. But my mom bought those for me, a couple of years ago.

**Describe your First Times...
First time having sex?:	Haven't.
Where & when?:	It seems we've stood and talked like this before...
First time drinking?:	I'm trying to really remember this... I think my first time having a whole drink all myself and finishing it was in Spain, that glass of sherry at the sherry factory that was extremely yummy. I'm not positive, because I'd had sips and stuff before then. But I think that was the first drink all for me.
First time smoking?:	Haven't.
First party?:	Is party being used as a code, or something? I mean, I don't know, I was probably an infant, if not.
First best friend?:	Well, I decided this girl who I thought was a boy named Charlotte was my best friend in Kindergarten, because I'd read about them in books, and thought I should have one. I think my first real best friend was probably Lauren, though I didn't know it at the time. My first official best friend with a necklace was Danielle. My last best friend with a necklace was Dannah, and we swore vows and everything. I miss her. But I have wonderful best friends now, too.
First movie seen?:	How am I supposed to know?
First date?:	I get a little confused about this, because I had a datelike thing to a play, but we never called it a date, and maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part... but that was in high school, maybe sometime sophomore year? And then I had a date for the Ball, though it was not intended romantically. But if we're going to be absolutely certain, I guess it was last year, with this Italian guy I picked up in Rittenhouse Square.
First kiss?:	I was... 14, I think, and at a party. I've told this story before, I think in another survey in this very blog. But we--or, they, I was too nervous--were playing spin-the-bottle, and this strange, troubled, desireable boy spun, and it pointed at me, even though I wasn't in the circle, and he crouched there like a cat, and sprang across the circle and touched his lips to mine... and it was a sudden, small spark of energy between us, and I was very relieved to have gotten kissed before I turned 16, which for some reason was this big deal in my head.
First cell phone?:	In Spain.
First CD bought?:	Um... I think it was Amy Grant, whatever came out about the time I was 16.
First crush?:	Bobby Clifford, in 5th grade.
First boyfriend/girlfriend?:	We discussed this; no need to rub it in.
First party?:	What the hell?
** Wrapping it all up...
What time is it?:	11:39 AM
How long have you been doing this?:	Too damn long.
Do you like taking surveys?:	You know, I do, even though they frustrate the hell out of me. I think I like the chance to be snarky.
Any final thoughts?:	I wonder if I'll find a better one on the survey site.
