Bwahahaha!! I'm lovin' hearing about everyone's first albums and first jobs!!! There were so many responses that cracked me up that I can't even post em all!! Shit. I love that all of FJ's former loves share a "broken heart!!" Damn!!

Zoya, I love that your first album was Journey's "Escape!!" Did you buy it on vinyl? Just so ya know, original Escape tour t-shirts sell for buttloads on ebay. I'm sure early Escape vinyl presses would do very well, too, but only for the diehards. Check the press number. /music nerdiness.

I love all of the Madonna-related posts!! Culture wanted to be Madonna!! That's so cute!!

Okay.

1. Where were you 5 years ago?
Graduated from college, moved into poodlepad, adopted kitties, already working at lameass appraisal job that I'm still doing.

2. 5 years ago, what did you think you'd be doing now?
Graduate school for urban design or urban planning, in some other part of the country besides Minnesota.

3. How close or far did you come to that mark?
Completely opposite!! I'm still in Minnesota and I looove it!! No plans for grad school, either.

4. Where do you think you'll be 5 years from now?
Still living in the new Poodlepalace, maybe with a special man friend

5. When you were a little kid, what did you want to do for a living?
Architect. I even went to school for it, but then I decided that I didn't want to design office buildings for the rest of my life. Now I just appraise them.

6. What was the last book you read all the way through?
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman. Pretty funny. I loved the Saved by the Bell chapter.

7. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Knocked Up...with my mom.

8. Did you like it as much as you thought you would?
No. It probably didn't help that my mom was there.

9. What is your favourite piece of furniture in your home?
50's formica table with green felt gambling table underneath--perfect for making apple pies and then playing bridge with the neighborhood housewives afterwards.

10. What is your favourite piece of clothing from your teenage years?
Puke green, holey cardigan sweater

11. What was the first record you ever bought with your own money? Indigo Girls "Rites of Passage"

12. What was the worst thing about your first paying job?
Cleaning whipped cream off the walls (though, it was better than cleaning vomit out of sinks like I did in college...for a buck more)

13. What's the best thing about your current job?
My own office with two 18-foot windows

14. Which long lost friend do you wish would find you on MySpace?
I've found most of the long-lost highschool friends I care about on MySpace, but I'd love to come across a couple college friends.

15. What physical trait do the bulk of your exes share?
Most of them have been my height or shorter. I've only dated a couple taller than me.

16. What does your hair look like right now?
Scraggily shoulder length dark brown

17. What is your favourite insult?
Usually involves the word "ass."
