4. What is your favourite TV show of all time ie you've seen them all, can watch it over and over again and quote lines from it? I can't recite lines or watch it over & over (because it isn't syndicated for some ridiculous reason), but I have't truly loved a tv show since Dawson's Creek.

I would love to have a day where I just woke up when I was done sleeping with no interruption or anything to "do" once I was up. As it stands now, I wake up & get dressed (in sloppy clothes and a ponytail), make coffee, then go get Sawyer up, nursed, and dressed. Every.single.day.

Like, I maintained a fan website (which won an award from Rolling Stone), went to 4 concerts & waited outside the venues all day with my sign to watch the busses roll in, etc. All of my friends were very anti-boyband/pop, though, so it was pretty much a double life. I'm not embarrassed now, though. If *NSYNC announced a reunion, I would probably go absolute apeshit and everyone would know it!
9. What would be your dream vehicle (bikes, cars, boats, batcar and millenium falcon is allowed!)? The VW Toureg with the camping addition:
10. What's your favourite fantasy people sandwhich? I don't understand.

14. If you could have any animal/creature, What would be your ultimate pet be? A Friesian horse that was so completely broke that I could just jump on him and we could go anywhere under any circumstance together.
15. What did you want to be when you were little and do you think you ever will be? I always wanted to be a marine biologist. I was going to specialize in sea turtles. I had it all planned out from where I was going to go to college (Southampton College of Long Island U.), I became a certified SCUBA diver, I went to a summer camp held at the Marine Research Laboratory in Key Largo, FL... and then I realized that I'd be in school forever, only to make next-to-nothing, spend a lot of time away from my future home/family, and likely spend more time writing/depending on grants & writing research documents than in the field. Obviously, I won't ever be a marine biologist now.
16. Whats the next planned event you're looking to in your life? Baby number doux, but it won't be "go time" until April. I'm already super-twitchy about it, though.
