1) IF YOU WERE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE THAT YOU LIVE IN NOW, WHAT WOULD THE PRIMARY GOAL/MISSION THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO ACCOMPLISH DURING YOUR TERM OF OFFICE? I would try to get rid of some of the weight of state government. There are a lot of regulations that overtax the medical field, for example, while nurses and others who fulfill those regulations are perpetually understaffed and underpaid. There is a lot of extra stuff that gets thrown around, whether it's money for pet projects or confusing language or bureaucratic jobs that aren't really needed and I'd try to make government more streamlined and efficient all the way around.
2) HOT DOGS OR HAMBURGERS? I don't care for either too much, but a nice polish sausage would do it for me. Otherwise, cheeseburger in paradise all the way, with Heinz 57 please.
3) WOULD YOU EVER DRINK ALCOHOL IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN? Yes, but not very much. I wouldn't want them to see me out of control when their welfare was in my hands, nor would I want to set a bad example for them when they grow up.
4) DID YOU EVER HAVE A CRUSH ON ANY OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE TEACHERS? Not really. I had some I really admired and liked, but none I had any romantic feelings for.
DID THEY KNOW THAT YOU HAD A CRUSH ON THEM? N/A
5) BEER OR WINE? Wine. Pinot Noir is my current favorite variety.
6) WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST CRANK CALL THAT YOU HAVE EVER RECIEVED? I can't remember ever getting one. Although we had a waitress, Melanie, at the Waffle House I worked at, and she could play with obscene and crank callers and make it so funny, you'd split your sides laughing.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EVER MADE A CRANK CALL? I'm pretty sure I never did; but then, you'd have to ask the people that received them.
7) IF IT MEANT NEVER BEING ABLE TO HAVE SEX AGAIN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACT OUT YOUR MOST EROTIC SEXUAL FANTASY? No. Many of my sexual fantasies are best left as just that.
WOULD IT INFLUENCE THE ANSWER YOU JUST GAVE IF THE PERSON WHOM YOU WERE TO EXPERIENCE YOUR FANTASY WITH WERE CHOSEN FOR YOU BY SOMEONE ELSE? Since the first answer was 'no,' I'd say this is also a 'no.'
8) THE MOUNTAINS OR THE OCEAN? Ocean, definitely. Mountains are nice to visit, but I feel closer to 'mom' by the ocean. It's more like home.
9) ASIDE FROM ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY, NAME THREE PEOPLE WHOM YOU LOVE AND WHY. Mark Tippetts, but I'm not sure why. I've loved him for a long time. We both want to know God and are constantly seeking the right thing to do with our lives. I think we know each other on some deeply sympathetic level, and I'm not sure if he feels the same way. So, maybe I'm fooling myself about why, but I'm sure I love him. Matthew Legare, because he is very much like me in ways that I need to see being used in a healthy and happy way. He's outgoing and likes to perform. He's funny and silly and sometimes he runs away with himself. He's dramatic and can be extreme. And he's good at what he does, mostly satisfied with his life, incredibly kind, gentle, and sweet. My ex-husband Wes Krieske, because he always believes in me, and he's patient, and he's sharp-witted and a lot of fun besides.
10) NIGHT OR DAY? Night, absolutely.
11) HAVE YOU EVER MADE SOMEONE CRY BY SAYING "I LOVE YOU" TO THEM? Yes.
HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL TO WATCH SOMEONE ELSE CRY? It depends on the person and the circumstances. Often I feel sympathetically embarrassed for them and I want to protect them. Sometimes, when it is someone who is close to me, I am touched that they feel that deeply.
12) JASON OR FREDDIE? Freddie.
13) WHAT IS THE TALLEST BUILDING THAT YOU HAVE EVER BEEN IN? I've never really needed to be up too high. I've never been to the Empire State Building or anything, and I'm bad with distances. So, which is higher, the Westin Peachtree or the Eiffel Tower? :-P
DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP? By elevator, thank you. I climb a lot of stairs, and I tried to do the Eiffel Tower, but gave up pretty quickly. Heck, I was 14. Give me a break.
14) HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO SOMEONE OF THE SAME GENDER? Is that a trick question?
15) DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU WERE DOING ON THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001? Someone called Mark's apartment and said, they've blown up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. And I was just waking up and I was sure it was a joke, or someone had confused something. I went back to my apartment and got on my computer and started checking on my friends and relatives.
16) McDONALDS OR BURGER KING? Aw, geez. I guess BK is probably the lesser of the two evils, especially since they have Coke now, but McD's fries, when they're done right, are impossible to beat still.
17) IF YOU COULD TAKE A TRAIN RIDE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WITH ANY ONE PERSON OF YOUR CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHOM WOULD YOU WANT TO GO WITH YOU? I don't care where I would take the train. Somewhere scenic, I guess. Europe has a lot of nice mountains. :) I would take Wes who likes travelling, or Mark, just because it would be nice to be alone on a trip together.
18) DO YOU PERSONALLY FEEL THAT EVERY MAN SHOULD GROW A BEARD AT LEAST ONCE
IN HIS LIFETIME? No, some are made for it, and some aren't. If you need to grow a beard to find out, go ahead, but I don't care.
19) COWBOYS OR INDIANS? Probably cowboys.
20) AT WHAT AGE DO YOU FEEL YOUR CHILDREN SHOULD START WORKING AND EARNING THEIR OWN PAYCHECK? When they feel ready. If they don't feel ready by the time I kick them out of the house, well, too bad. I will try to teach them responsibility and money smarts and I will give them the opportunity to earn by doing certain tasks for me if they want. But I don't feel there's a definite time when they SHOULD. (If they can get away with not, and that is what makes them happy, that's fine with me, too.)
21) TO DATE, WHAT IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MOVIE THAT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN? Influential to me? Gee. I don't know. I just saw "Spiderman" and was much much more impressed than I expected to be. I could also say "Holy Grail," but that had a lot more to do with influences around it, and people. "The Last Unicorn," then. I'll settle on that one.
22) THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU THIS E-MAIL, HAVE YOU EVER MET THEM IN PERSON? Yes.
IF NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET THEM? N/A
23) DO YOU EVER FEEL INTIMIDATED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE THE SAME AGE AS YOU BUT
MAKE MORE MONEY AT THEIR JOBS? Jealous? Yes. Intimidated? No.
>
24) WHAT IS YOUR MOST PREFERABLE WAY OF TRAVELLING? I like road trips. There is so much to see.
WHY? I like truck stops. I like roadside attractions. I like feeling like I know how far I've gone because I've looked at it. Airplanes are weird because I never feel like I've really travelled that far. If I were going overseas, I'd prefer to go by boat for the same reason.
25) WHAT DID YOU DO ON YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY? Packed things to move to California. Went to have dinner with my mother and sister and friends.
26) WINTER OR SUMMER? Summer. I was born in Florida and still think of myself as a summer climate person.
27) WHICH MOVIE CHARACTER WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO MODEL YOUR LIFE AFTER?
Right now? Spiderman. Or Mary Jane. Maybe Maude from "Harold and Maude." She was cool.
28) HAVE YOU EVER BEEN "SKINNY-DIPPING"? Yes, at a nudist friend's house and at a nudist resort, also a nude beach once.
IF YES, WHERE AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST DID IT? I was in Florida, living with a boyfriend in 1992. So, I was 21.
DID ANYONE SEE YOU? The friend, the boyfriend and the people at the resort.
29) IF YOU HAD ONLY ONE MINUTE TO NAME ANY TEN OF YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER'S
FAVORITE THINGS, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO DO SO? I don't know, let me time myself. 1. Kabalah. 2. Drumming. 3. My picture that hangs on his wall. 4. The pentacle that hangs around his neck. 5. His other girlfriend. 6. Me, in spite of many doubts. 7. Bondage and exotic rope tying. 8. Getting stoned. 9. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 10. Being alone. Ok, the answer is Yes.
30) TO DATE, WHO IS THE MOST PHYSICALLY BEAUTIFUL PERSON YOU HAVE EVER MET FACE-TO-FACE? (NO ACTORS OR MOVIE STARS) DESCRIBE THIS PERSON IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU CAN. It occurs to me that I should tell you about my sister, who is probably the most beautiful person I can think of. She has this perfectly clear skin on this oval face with big dark eyes set into it. She keeps her hair short, and it is very sexy on her, because she has a long neck to go with it. I don't know what she has now that she has gotten two children, but she used to have the most perfect breasts, symmetrical and perky with just the right amount of weight to them, and no, I don't think about her that way, thank you. She has the long legs I always wish I had, too. The thing that gets most people is that, when she makes herself up one way or the other, she can look very exotic. She could, in the right costume, pass for Greek, Spanish, or Middle Eastern.
DOES THIS PERSON KNOW THAT YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL? Probably not. And if you tell her, I'll kill ya.
31) WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST NAME THAT YOU HAVE EVER CALLED ANYONE? I have been known to call my ex-husband a "doo-doo head." That's the funniest one I can think of at the moment.
DO THEY KNOW THAT YOU CALLED THEM THIS? Yeah.
32) IF YOU COULD ROLEPLAY ANY CHARACTER FROM THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, WHICH CHARACTER WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY? Riff Raff. Nobody ever thinks I can. But I am sure I could. And one day I will.
33) TRUTH OR DARE? Truth. Which is why I pick dare.
34) ARE YOU EASILY EMBARRASED WHEN SOMEONE MAKES A PASS AT YOU? Yes. Depending. Depends on whether I'm ready for it or not. Passes out of left field embarrass me, and depending on how much they suck, they also make me angry.
>
35) HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE MOVIE REGARDING HENRY? No.
IF SO, WHAT DID YOU GET OUT OF IT? N/A
36) WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER COULD POSSIBLY DO TO MAKE YOU LEAVE THEM WITHOUT EVEN GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN? Probably nothing. I'm probably too lax that way.
37) WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST DATE THAT YOU HAVE EVER BEEN ON? I don't go on a lot of dates, but I have met a fellow for one drink before. My ex-husband and my first 'date' was eggs and coffee at Waffle House. So somewhere in the neighborhood of $3-$5 per person. I've also been shopping, wandering around a flea market or mall and not bought anything. Sometimes that's been date-like.
38) WHAT IS THE WORST SMELLING FOUL SMELL THAT YOU HAVE EVER SMELLED BEFORE? A friend of mine was playing with a lighter and burned a lock of her hair or mine, I forget which. I suddenly wondered how people could have borne the stench of burning bodies during the Inquisition or times of war.
39) WHAT IS THE LONGEST THAT YOU HAVE EVER GROWN YOUR HAIR? When I was a child, it was all the way down my back past my waist and if I smoothed it down from the back of my head, I could sit on the edge of it, and did a couple of times by accident. I had it cut when I was 10 and it never really got that long again, although it's been most of the way down my back. I'm sure my back has grown, so, for argument's sake, I'll mention having it long in 1997/98, right after I got married. It was still bushy. I looked very earth mother-y.
40) THUNDER OR LIGHTNING? If there's a real heavy electrical storm, lightning is the most beautiful thing in the world to watch, but thunder is scary-boom. I hate loud noises.
2) HOT DOGS OR HAMBURGERS? I don't care for either too much, but a nice polish sausage would do it for me. Otherwise, cheeseburger in paradise all the way, with Heinz 57 please.
3) WOULD YOU EVER DRINK ALCOHOL IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN? Yes, but not very much. I wouldn't want them to see me out of control when their welfare was in my hands, nor would I want to set a bad example for them when they grow up.
