    I'd enjoy hearing the following:

     location of your first kiss: highschool gym!

    dream car: a VW bus, but all modernized and nice on the inside. I think they're beautiful.

    what do you put on your french fries: I mix it up. mayo sometimes, vinegar sometimes, ketchup sometimes, combination of those three sometimes.

    what is your favorite thing about yourself: I think for all the anxiety I emanate, I am actually a really positive person and I have inner happiness.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe: I don't think so. I am very into the sound of words. I like to pronounce them. I put a lot of value on ennunciation, and my husband picks on me for it. He also thinks I have an east coast accent, but I don't think there is such a thing.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what? I'd like to know what Im having for dinner and where my flat iron might be.

    do you like ferrets: I do. I fantasize about owning one, but my mean husband opposes it and lives to destroy my dreams.

  •  location of your first kiss With my next door neighbor, on his couch. We were watching MTV and we started kissing when UB40s "Fools Rush In" came on. HAHA.

    dream car My dream would be to have a job where I can take public transportation so I don't need a car. Other than that, I really want an Outback.

    what do you put on your french fries Cheese and baaaaaacon

    what is your favorite thing about yourself Um. I'm liking my hair lately. And I have a pretty good sense of humor.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe I'm very naaaasal. And I have hard "r"s.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what? What type of work did you do before you were a SAHM? When will you come visit me?

    do you like ferrets  Um, no. At my first apartment the people downstairs had a ferret that would crawl through the heating ducts and end up in our apartment. So gross.

  • location of your first kiss On a bus.

    dream car One that requires no maintenance or repairs or further financial investment on my part.

    what do you put on your french fries Garlic.

    what is your favorite thing about yourself I think I'm funny.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe I don't think I do. Though when I was in England and Ireland they all thought I was Canadian. I don't know if they were just being polite and didn't want to potentially offend a Canadian by calling her American, or if it's because my dad is Canadian and I picked up some mannerisms from him (before he r-u-n-n-o-f-t). I don't think I sound like anything.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what? Tell me about movies and books that you like. Grey Gardens, obviously. What else?

    do you like ferrets Who gives a shiit about the fuccking marmot?

    what do you put on your french fries Ketchup or buffalo sauce. Or ranch. But that all depends on where I get the fries.

    what is your favorite thing about yourself My boobs. They're awesome.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe Hmm, only when I speak a foreign language.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what? How do you feel about Verona? Why don't you participate in the OOTD threads? Did you ever get a part time job (no judgement...I just remember you were talking about getting one).

    do you like ferrets Hell to the no.

    I worked in legal records management, and I loved it. LOVED. I was with my last firm for almost 10 years.

    I still don't have a part time job. I want one- but my stupid husband is oot all the time, and it would be really hard to work around his sched. buttplugger.

    I like books. only recently did I get back into fiction. I used to read medical texts and psychology books,True Crime and books about communism. then I read twilight! lol.

    and seriously- I have converted to a true trash fiction junkie. I love janet evanovitch crap, laurell k hamilton, and the true blood books. (hiimalooooser!)

    I feel like verona is adorable. I don't care for posts where she gets serious, because she tends to sound...well (come on. when she got all bajiggity about knowing about intellectual property, but clearly knew little to nothing...)..but I love her blog, and I think she's so pretty. and sweet.

     location of your first kiss

    Technically: friend's basement, playing good ol' spin the bottle.  For real, with meaning: in a car

    dream car

    I think Corvettes and Ferraris are beautiful machines, but I'd never own either.

    what is your favorite thing about yourself

    That I have such close relationships with my family.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what?

    Will you post a picture or yourself?

    do you like ferrets

    No.  I like cats. That's about it for animals people consider pets.

    I'd enjoy hearing the following:

     location of your first kiss  The nose.  We were playing truth or dare in a tent at someone's birthday party in 6th grade and it was dark so he totally missed my lips and got my nose instead.  My dad pulled up, illuminating the tent, about 10 seconds after that.

    dream car  I don't do much driving, but I'm used to having an SUV.  When mine finally dies, I plan to replace it with whatever the best hybrid SUV is on the market (that I can afford).

    what do you put on your french fries  I prefer them plain, but I'll dip them in ranch or a Wendy's Frosty.  They're also kind of good dipped in honey.

    what is your favorite thing about yourself  I piss excellence.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe  No.  And don't listen to Tasty -- she is ALL accent.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what?  Do you wash your pants in Windex?  Because I can see myself in them.

    do you like ferrets  I like pictures of them being cute.  I do not like being in their vicinity because they smell pretty bad.  A friend of mine had ferrets that would hide out when you came in his room, but they would come running if you squeaked their little toy hamburger.  It was adorable, but the smell was overpowering.

  • location of your first kiss I think I had 3 first kisses. Playground in Kindergarten. Through the passenger car window after Baptist Bible Camp in jr. high. (I am not Baptist but the boys were cute). Outside my house as a freshman in HS. (he banged my head into out airconditioner). The reason I say 3 first kisses is I don't think the one when I was 6 counts. and I would count the jr high one but I can't rememner the guys name, or what he looked like, or why I kissed him. Freshman year guy was my first BF,

    dream car I don't ever want to drive again but my H can drive me around in a vintage roadster as often as he likes.

    what do you put on your french fries ranch or catsup or mayo or vinegar

    what is your favorite thing about yourself I think I am really effective. I get *** done.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe yes. I speak in the accent of whoever I have spent the most time with that day. I just pick them up.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what? do you like the midwest?

    do you like ferrets No but I love chinchillas

    what is your favorite thing about yourself: I have nice teeth.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe: I have been told I don't, but that is because I live in a land of horrific accents. But I do have a New England accent, just not as bad as most.

    Monkeys, Midgets and "So I Married an Axe Murdered"

  • I'd enjoy hearing the following:

     location of your first kiss-i think it might have actually been during a game of spin the bottle. ha. so in someone's basement.

    dream car-i don't really dream about cars so much. i want the next car i own to be a ford fusion though. i am boring.

    what do you put on your french fries. nothing or ketchup usually. BUT, there is this belgian frites restaurant in NYC that has about twenty dipping sauces, and i love nothing more than to try them all. they have a rosemary sauce that was to die for.

    what is your favorite thing about yourself-i think i'm pretty funny.

    do you speak with an accent/ if so, describe-i am from minnesota, so i have a definite (if comparatively mild) north midwestern accent.

     do you want to know anything about me?/ if so, what? what activities were you into in high school?

    do you like ferrets- kind of, they're cute and playful... but they are very frenetic and unpredictable and have needle sharp teeth which suck when they get out of control squirrelly. and they stink!

  • I do not like the midwest. it feels very uncomfortable.

    Im sure it's fine, but no.

    I think monkies are ok. when they wear clothes it's neat, but I don't like that sometimes they'll eat your face.

    I think midgets (minions?) are...short. I try to be diplomatic and give them the benefit of the doubt, but Im not into short people in general. 5'6" is as short as I can tolerate. anything else is bordering on circus time.

    so I married and axe murderer was such a good movie. I LOVED phil hartman in it. Vickie! lol.
