Re: Yet another random poll
1. That's a tough one since I LOVE ethnic foods. I would have to say maybe Thai Spice, Cairo Cafe or Kabuto. My favorite way to find new restaurants is through www.indyethnicfood.com
2. Do foster dogs count? Not really, but I guess my Fiestaware? Within 10 years, I collected vintage hankies and rhinestone jewelry.
3. That's a tough one for me - I pretty much love almost every city I visit
I guess Raleigh. I'm getting over the bitterness and hope I can go back and enjoy it soon.
4. uh, moderate left? Libertarian? I have no idea. I'm a journalist, so I tend to see both sides of everything, which makes it hard on most issues.
5. I'm not really in to following/stalking entertainment, but I do enjoy listening to Sister Hazel
6. I can't stand it. I was dragged way too often as a kid and am still protesting. I was desperate for a buffet for storage and I found a 1950s modern (what I was looking for stylewise) for $50. Marked down from $350
It's not perfect, but it definitely does the job!
7. When I was employed, I LOVED field work. Some days the weather wasn't great, but the days with the perfect temp, sun and wind, I just had an amazing sense of calm
Now I don't have much to look forward to. I guess getting certain tasks checked off is the highlight of my day.
8. Hm. I really like to walk on the trails and at the canal.
9. We do a small traditional gift and then a gift that we really want
10. Right now, I guess to motivate myself to get my to do lists done.
1. Your favorite non-chain restaurant to eat at (website/address would be great for those looking for new restaurants
)? I love Exotic Thai in Terrre Haute. The city is not at the apex of culture, but it is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I also love Snow Lion in Bloomington.
2. Do you collect anything? Nope.
3. Favorite US city to visit? Savannah, GA or D.C.

7. If employed, what's your favorite thing about your job? If not, what is your favorite activity during the day? I am a student, so this doesn't really apply. It would vary from semester to semester depending upon the classes.
8. Name one favorite activity to do in your city. I am just outside Indy and there is literally nothing to do here. We don't even have a traffic light in my town. We have to go to Plainfield just to grocery shop and into Indy to do anything. We're only 5-10 minutes away though.
9. Traditional or non-traditional anniversary gifts? I have never given one, so I haven't thought about it.
10. If you had 2 more hours in the day, what would you use them for? This is a lame answer, but whatever might need to be done that day that I could avoid pushing to the next day. That might be homework, cleaning, studying, relaxing, etc.1. Sandra Rice and Noodles at Pendleton Pike on the East side. If I have an unlimited budget I would go there for lunch and have Pho everyday. Plus, the owners Ha and Sang are awesome!
2. Not really a collector. I have 3 Matryoshka (Russian Nesting) dolls from my IL's. Maybe I can start collecting those?
