My butter-yellow colored leather sofa. It fits me perfectly.

I have no idea. Maybe my stiletto boots.

Blondie..can't remember the album name but it had "the tide is high" and "rapture" on it.

12. What was the worst thing about your first paying job?

Working in a sweater/textile mill for piece rate. You had to work your fingers to the bone, practically, to make minimum wage. And it was so hot my fingernail polish would melt if it were applied within 24 hours of a shift.

13. What's the best thing about your current job?

Freedom, I float all over campus without a boss watching me. Money. Instant gratification. Not having to dress up. Being able to have a nose piercing. Looking at all the hottie college aged boys. Using skills that I worked hard to develop.

One of them's long but worth it: "He's so full of himself he cries out his own name when he's masturbating" The other one is simply, "shitbag"

1. Where were you 5 years ago?
Living in Germany, pre-packing to return to the States: taking last minute trips to France & Poland and Ireland, so I could shop shop shop & get it all included w/ our household goods shipment on the boat back.

I think I honestly thought I'd be saving the world in small increments, helping one woman at a time.

umm, I burned out BIGTIME about 2 years ago and have done little "good" sinse then, but am beginning to reorganize myself. into what I'm still not sure.

4. Where do you think you'll be 5 years from now?
Looking at the mr's retirement from the Army & the infinite possibilites of true freedom to live where WE want (as opposed to the needs of the Army) which is anywhere from KY to somewhere on the coast (beach side) or maybe we/I'll open up that quaint little book store on the shores of Lake Michigan I've always dreamed about...
I really dig the "we"- ness of being married lately and kinda dig the idea that he & I might open up some sort of business together in the future.

5. When you were a little kid, what did you want to do for a living?
at 5 it was a toss up between nurse & ballerina, bc I dug the cute little hat & the tutu. by age 8 it was a classical flutist.

'Eva Moves the Furniture.' kinda spooky in the way of that movie w/ nicole kidman ' the Others' a good read!

7. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Pirates #2.

not as good as #1 I didn't think, but I'd watch jonny depp on screen doing absolutely no-thing and still be utterly happy

9. What is your favourite piece of furniture in your home?
too tough, I'm a furniture freak; my antique rocker maybe? every stick in my home is meaningful, so I'll have to go w/ my wall colors, which are vibrant green and white & yellow and blue- so far!

vintage men's fedora & short gloves; I wore those everywhere & looked damned cute.

probably something by James Galway the flutist; I recently replaced my old albums of his for cd's.

12. What was the worst thing about your first paying job?
sticky pennies and nickles and dimes dropped onto the candy counter at the old movie theater; that & having to take the money upstairs to the projection room in the dark when the flickery reel to reel movie was running.. the owner collected stuffed pheasants & they were *everywhere* * I'd bump into them & want to scream every time I went up there.

13. What's the best thing about your current job?
ha. I guess I'd have to say 'the hours & the ability to fart around whenever I want.'

14. Which long lost friend do you wish would find you on MySpace?
I don't have a MySpace page.

15. What do all your exes have in common?
I've been married a zillion years now, but I'd have to say intelliegence, esp the mr. ( or maybe he's just the biggest smart-Ass? )

between chin & shoulder legnth smooth bob, brown w/ growing out platinum & reddish highlights .everyone says it still looks great but I'm soon to get several inches lobbed off and then reconsider the coloring again, maybe red? auburn? totally platinum? depends on my mood in the moment.
