Re: NBR: Ask anyone anything?
B. Cilantro! LOVE... the smell and taste!
Wine... beer is no bueno!
Vanilla ice cream, but I do like chocolate candy.
Alfredo or pesto!
My embarrassing habit is repeating myself when I think people don't hear me when they actually heard me and just didn't have a response. It's like I realize way too late that they heard me. Probably not a big deal to them, but I feel like a tool.
If I could trade places with any NBCer....it would be ANYONE who is somewhere warm right now.
Do you have any tattoos?
I have a tattoo.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

No tattoos.
OMG that's one of my worst nightmares.

Gah! So many questions to answer! This is the pitfall of working nights and having busy days I s'pose. Let's see how many question I remember...
Nestie I'd want to be/trade with? Ditto PPs who said someone warm. I think @84Lauren is in AZ, so I'd probably pick her since I have family in Phoenix and could be warm and with my family.
Embarassing habit? I bite the skin around my fingernails, sometimes to the point of bleeding.
Biggest regret? Dropping out of college after 2 years. I mean, I did it because I couldn't afford it and now that I've gone back it's been almost entirely on the company dime so I saved myself a LOT of money but I also feel like I've set myself back a ton in my career.
Scariest thing I've done? Driving to Washington DC and camping on a sidewalk for 3 days to audition for American Idol when I was 19. DH (then BF) came with me so it was slightly less scary.
Tatoos? Not yet but I've been planning on one for my 30th in August and I've known what I want it to be for the last 6 months or so but by the time I get it I'm afraid it will seem bandwagony due to timing even though I've wanted it for a long time.
Cilantro? Tastes like robot penis.

I was home alone in my apt (DH was gone for the day)...a random guy knocked on my door and said he needed a ride to go pick up his car. I drove him (yes I let this random guy who was at least double my size in my car) then we got there and he said he needed $40 to get the car back so I went to an ATM and gave him the money (he claimed he lived above me and would pay me back tomorrow and I didn't know any of our neighbors so it sounded plausible).
My husband wasn't due back until after 10 that night...if anything had happened it would have been a super long time before it was discovered. I look back on that day and just cringe and feel like a moron!
I technically have 2 tattoos although the second one was just an extension of the first so it looks like one. I am madly in love with them and I already know what I want for my next. I'm just trying to hold out as long as possible so I don't end up covered in tattoos! I do love having and getting them though (call me weird but I like the feeling of the needle on my skin).
Scariest thing: pitching my book, in person, to an editor from St. Martin's Press. I thought I was going to pass out or vomit. Thank baby Jesus for the two glasses of wine I had prior.
Tattoos: Three. I got my first one matching with my mom when I turned 18 and she turned 40, my second one (matching) when my sister turned 18, I was 27, my mom was turning 50, and my third as another bonding moment with my sister (same one from before), though not matching.
Scariest thing: Cliff jumping into the Susquehanna River. The force of hitting the water threw my bikini top off and I never did find it.
Wine all the way
Chocolate
Marinara
