time wasters
This courtesy my dear friend T in Miami, who I envy on a daily basis in the winter.
1. What time did you get up this morning? 8
2. Diamonds or pearls? Uh. I'd lose either. So neither. Plus if I had money to buy either, I'd buy an iPod instead. Or new running shoes. Shit, if I had enough money for jewelry, I'd buy both.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Cinema? I haven't stepped foot in a theater in YEARS. It was probably Forrest Gump.

13. What characteristic do you despise? The "front." Like, "don't front me." Wishy-washy inability to be straight foward.

20. What was your most memorable birthday? I was 7 and my mom made us play this game where we had the names of famous characters pinned to our backs and we had to ask each other yes/no questions to guess who we were. Someone was Daisy Duke, but not me. Also, I remember my mom let me wear this hideous striped long-sleeved shirt under a flowered smock-like dress. Always fashion-challenged, me.
