1) How did you make the leap into message boardom? How did you make the leap into this particular community of people? Did you lurk? Was there a topic that pushed you over the line so that you could no longer hold your tongue? Who was the first person you talked to? Met?
I had a friend named Napsto, and one day while we were away at a camp he told me he "missed" some people whose names sounded like cartoon characters to me. He told me all about MousePlanet and MousePad and when I got home, I lurked a bit, then jumped in. So I guess technically, the first person I talked to/met was Napsto.
2) What do you crave?
Wood Ranch BBQ,
Pat and Oscar's, Ketel 1 Tonics, brownie sundaes.
3) We started from Disney-based boards and migrated here. So if you're here, you probably either enjoy Disney, or know somebody who enjoys Disney. What is your favorite memory from a Disney park?
There was one day, probably over three years ago, where my ex and I and four or five of our friends spent the day at Dland and DCA....it was just one of those days where all was right with the world, you know?
4) What are your opinions on touch? Who was the last person you touched?
Touch is good. Not sure who the last person I touched was though.... a coworker, a random stranger, maybe.....
5) What brings you relief? A person? A place? An idea? An object? An activity?
Being done with a big project brings me great relief. Confirmation is tomorrow night...and I'll be VERY relieved when it's over.
6) What do your dinner plates look like?
They're off white, with green and blue....I got them at Target like eight years ago, and I STILL love them.
7) You're going to be on Survivor next season; what is your luxury item?
A ticket off the island.
8) What nicknames have you had over the years? How'd they come about?
Oh crap.....way too many to list....um, Heatho, Hedda, MickeyD (really), Big Mac, Mayor McCheese, Bitch, Georgina, Grace, Gimpy, Deather, Princess (not in a nice way), Silver Spoon, Kether, Sally (as in Mustang, also for a part I used to play in a skit at camp every year), Drunk, Lush, tons more...those are just the ones off the top of my head.
9) What's your favorite thing to do in San Francisco?
Heh. Well, apparently my favorite thing to do in San Francisco is get completely smashed at a bar, then pass out at a concert at the "Historic" Filmore theater. Cuz I've only been there once, and that's what I did.... If I went to SF again, I'd probably take in a game at SBC park....or really do anything that involved less drinking and less passing out.
10) Toilet paper roll - over or under?
Honestly, I don't care....either way!
11) What is your most memorable vacation (at any point in life that you can remember)? Where did you go? Who were you with? What did you do? Why is it so memorable?
All of my family vacations were memorable.....they all had a definite Griswald's feel to them. The car would break down (or worse, just the A/C on a trip to Arizona), we would get totally lost, everything that could go wrong, would.....and we still had a blast every time. I miss those times.
12. Where have you always wanted to travel to but haven't been there yet?
My best friend and I have plans to go to every Major League baseball stadium before we die.....that's about it...I don't really have an itch to travel much.
13. Tell us about your favorite teacher/other non-parent role model you had as a kid.
Easily, my youth minister, Dennis. He just cared so much about us kids....and gave us so much of himself and his time. And we took so much of it for granted. He was the very reason I went into Youth Ministry/Religious Education. I wanted to help kids the way he help me. I haven't even come close to being as awesome as he is, unfortunately.
Now I want to know:
What was the best concert you ever went to?
