a long (and often idiotic) survey


do you type really fast? I would say that I type pretty fast, but not really fast.

does it annoy people who are around you (like in the library)? I almost never type around other people.

do you/did you like high school? I liked learning. I liked being with my few friends. The rest of high school pretty much sucked.

how old are you? 28

do you know anyone who has the same birthday as you? if so name them There was a boy in my freshman English class who was born ten minutes before me (except he was actually born 2 hours and 10 minutes before me, because he was born in Colorado). Um, I think there are a few others I know but I'm blanking on them.

favorite pen color I don't care, black or blue is fine.

what word do you constantly misspell when typing? I don't misspell. I do make a lot of typos but generally I correct them.

do you have trees in your yard? Yes, lots.

name one comedian that everyone thinks is funny but you absolutely cannot stand Um, I don't watch comedians. Sorry.

name one director you hate and tell why I am not good at this kind of question. There are movies I like and movies I don't; I don't generally pay attention to who directs them.

do you like tim burton? I am not sure I've ever seen anything he directed.

what annoys you more than anything? a mosquito whining around my ear at night.

tell me about the weirdest pair of socks you own I do not own weird socks.

if you woke up tomorrow morning as the opposite sex, what would you do first? Shave.

did you read fear street books? um, no, these were after my time.

how about sweet valley high? only when forced to.

babysitter's club? the boxcar children? babysitter's club, I read a couple of in junior high. I didn't read any Boxcar Children books until I had children of my own.

goosebumps? Are you kidding? Kids I babysat read Goosebumps books.

favorite show on nickelodeon (can be from the late 80's/early 90's when nick was good) The Donna Reed Show.

did you watch are you afraid of the dark? Ask me if I've heard of this and the answer would be the same: no.

did zeebo the clown scare you? who?

where do you vacation every summer? Morro Bay

do you like the beach? Yes

do you tan or burn easily? I will burn if I'm not careful. Then I tan afterward.

do you make up your own words and lingo? if so tell me about it not really.

do you eat lots of tv dinners? I haven't eaten a TV dinner in about 20 years.

favorite hot pocket flavor Um, I wouldn't know. I think I ate one of these once but I don't know what was in it.

if you could make one celebrity magically disappear, who would it be? Oh, there are many. Too many to list.

how is life treating you? just dandy

do people like you? some do. Most don't, I think.

what do you think it is that makes the "popular" people popular? Believe it or not I have dedicated lots of serious thought to this over the years. To an extent, it's obvious: conformity (even if that means conforming via obvious non-conformity), the right clothes, the right look. But there's something more to it -- something I've never been able to put my finger on. We all know people from our school experience who weren't really ugly, weren't stupid, yet even if you put them in the clothes of the moment and gave them the right haircut and stuff, still, they wouldn't be It. It's really scary that there's an environment to which we are all expected to subject our children (although not all of us do!) where they can be made miserable so easily just because they don't have that magical elusive Something.

what do you wear the most: jeans, cords, dickies, khakis, skirts, or shorts? Um, probably jeans, followed by shorts.

are you using a pc or mac? an antiquated Pleistocene-era PC

do you like chunky peanut butter? Yes. But we don't buy it often because my daughter hates it. It has only recently occurred to me that I could buy both.

what amazes you about the opposite sex? The fact that they can be so hung up on cars. It's a CAR. It's not a friend or a loved one or even anything alive like a horse or a pet. But you would never know it based on typical male behavior. It doesn't bother me, it's just totally foreign to me.

are you in love with anyone? Yep.

do you like anyone? I like lots of people! ;-) (if no other question in this survey did so, that right there proves that this was written by someone born after 1986, no?)

if so, who see above

why do you like them/why are you in love with them? Oh dear. Do you have all day? My husband is my other half, the completion of me. He is the one person I can always trust to be on my side, he knows me inside and out, stands by me no matter what, sees the beauty in me that everyone else misses, and holds my soul in the palms of his hands. Plus, he has really sexy arms. ;-)

favorite cereal Grape-Nuts.

name a movie that makes you cry Lots of movies make me cry. Especially, and this is kind of goofy, movies with scenes where a lot of people are emotional all at once. Like the end of Mr. Holland's Opus or even the end of, God forbid, SpaceCamp. But also tender scenes -- like when Kathleen Kelly is closing her store for the last time and remembering twirling with her mother. That one gets me every time.

what's something you like about the opposite sex, physically, that your friends think is odd? I don't know if my friends think it's odd, but they might. Arms. mmm. wrists.

is it true that only the good die young? This is an idiotic question.

if so, are you going to live forever or die soon? see above.

do you live for today? Not entirely. I enjoy today as much as I can, and get out of it whatever I can (well, except the days when I spend all my time washing dishes, folding laundry, and sitting in front of the computer), but I have to live for the future or when the future came I'd be very sorry I hadn't.

how fast can you run? I used to be able to run faster than average, with decent endurance, but nothing spectacular. I haven't run much in the last ten years. I walk extremely fast, though. I hate getting behind slow people walking, even more than I hate getting behind slow people driving.

favorite band from the 60's/70's Simon and Garfunkel.

have any of your friends had kids as teenagers? not my close friends, but school acquaintances, yes. (heck, my MOM was a teenager when she had my brother. But she was married. She was 19. And I had my first baby at 21.)

did they finish high school? Yep.

favorite 80's television show "Who's The Boss?"

were you even born in the 80's? NO! Crap! I am ancient!

what year? 1974

have you ever taught a little kid a curse word? when I was about 13 I did

if so which one was it? I don't remember

do you think little boys are horrendously ill behaved? Little boys vary, just like all people. There are even, believe it or not, teenage boys who don't wear low-rise ill-fitting pants. I know, I know, but really, it's true.

have you ever thrown anything at a moving car? if so, what? No. But in high school, my best friend, on her last day before moving away, threw a rock at a boy on the bus. She lived with me, and we were of course together at the time, having just gotten off the bus to go home. She was on the ground, he was in the bus, and it was moving away. She broke the back window of the bus, because she failed to account properly for the bus's forward motion when she threw the rock. Oops. The boy really deserved it, too.

name a villian in a movie that scared you when you were a kid it's a TV show, not a movie, but that guy with the mask in that episode of Little House On The Prairie where the girl gets raped -- that totally freaked me out. I had nightmares about that guy for YEARS.

have you seen the original friday the thirteenth? nope. But I did see the first few Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

the original chucky? nope

the original halloween? nope

what's your favorite channel? I do not watch TV. Really. I have a television, but no antenna or cable is attached to it; it is simply a monitor for the DVD player and the VCR. So I am FREE from all this crap, and I do NOT HAVE A FAVORITE CHANNEL. Although sometimes I miss PBS, for the kids' shows.

what do you say when you stub your toe off of the corner of the coffee table? I repeat OW a lot. Sometimes I say "crap".

what's the highest thing you've ever jumped off of and landed unharmed? this is kind of a goofy question. Um, when I was little we used to suspend ourselves from our porch railing (we being my brother and myself) and drop. I'd guess it was about six feet from our feet to the ground.

does it snow where you live? sometimes.

if yes, do you go sled riding? we don't get that much snow. And I don't own a sled.

have you ever used anything weird, like a frisbee or a trashcan lid, for a sled? no, but I've used an old car hood. And of course tractor inner tubes. Who doesn't?

how many people do you know who were born in november? Um, right offhand I can think of three.

what month has the most people you know born in it? Um, maybe September.

do holidays make you festive? To a degree, yes.

magazines you subscribe to None, but my husband buys "Sky and Telescope" every month.

do you read the supermarket tabloids? Since there's usually nothing else for my eyes to rest on in the supermarket line, I read the headlines and laugh.

have you ever smashed somebody's halloween pumpkin? um, no. Again with the weird questions.

ever had yours smashed? Also no.

do you celebrate christmas? Yes.

if not, do you still watch "how the grinch stole christmas" when it comes on television? See above re:television.

do you think the grinch movie starring jim carrey was a waste of money? Probably, but I never saw it.

ever had a hot teacher? I had crushes on a few teachers but I wouldn't say they were "hot".

if yes, did you flirt with him/her? No. I just tried to avoid blushing when they spoke to me, and when I spoke to them.

how do you treat people you are attracted to? (this is not a stupid question; some people are immature and are mean to those they like) I think I was pretty stupid around them, back in the day.

what do you want for your birthday this year? A 100-disc CD changer, a new stereo receiver unit, and Barnes and Noble gift certificates.

have you ever egged somebody's house? Nope

has someone ever egged yours? No, but our car got TP'd and shaving-creamed once.

do we all go a little mad sometimes? Um, probably.

what pisses you off more than anything in the world? Abortion.

do you still go trick or treating? No

do you believe in santa claus? No

have you ever worked in a supermarket? No

how about a restaurant? Yes, several

if yes, do you agree with me when i say that those are the two worst establishments to work in? Actually, I liked working in restaurants. I thought it was fun.

what color is your bedspread? um, blue, with flowers.

do your eyes change colors? nope, but they have freckles.

do you believe that we walked on the moon? yes

do you live by yourself? no

have you ever gotten a computer virus? years and years ago, before Internet, from a floppy disk my brother-in-law used on our computer.

if so, what was it and how did you get rid of it? My brother-in-law fixed it.

describe your junior high/middle school gym teacher Well, I had two different ones in junior high (both men) and two in high school (both women). They were pretty boring as far as description goes. 7th grade: soft kind of nice man I'd known my whole life. 8th grade: this guy looked like the drawings of Neanderthal Man in our school books, but he was really nice; I remember at some school talent show he dressed up as one of the guys in ZZ Top and did a lip-synch thing. High school #1: skinny, not young. She had been my mother's PE teacher as well. Everyone says she's a lesbian but I know her personally and she's not. High school #2: buxom, feminine, ag-oriented. She was nicer to the popular girls than to the unpopular ones, which really bothers me in a teacher, but overall she was a good teacher.

how do you react when someone is talking to you --up in your face-- and they have really bad breath? as subtly as possible.

what was your first date like? Um, my parents took us and dropped us off at the theater in the next town over. We watched "Look Who's Talking". If I remember correctly my best friend was also there. She pretended to time us kissing (my first real kiss). I was in ninth grade.

did you go/are you going to the prom? Yes, I did.

if you've already gone, was it good or bad? explain why It sucked. My date was a dolt.

do you get uneasy when you see a person of a different color than you walking down the same street as you in the middle of the night? I generally do not walk down the street in the middle of the night, and I live in a town that is 99% caucasian, so I don't have this experience. However, when I'm in the city at night, I'm wary of almost everyone, regardless of pigmentation levels.

if yes, do you think that makes you racist? n/a

are you a vegetarian? nope

how about vegan? see above

if no to both, do you think you could be? only if absolutely necessary.

have you ever given up a certain type of food? if so, what was it and why did you do it? For one summer in high school I stopped eating meat, to lose weight, because I always ate too much meat.

spit out a random song lyric for me. make sure you tell me the name of the song and who sings it! I have Simon and Garfunkel on the brain thanks to a question up there, so here goes: "in the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp, when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night" -- Sound of Silence

who does the chores around your house? We all have various chores. Mostly the kids and me, since we're the ones home all day.

what movie could you watch a million times and never get tired of? Probably none, really, but Pride and Prejudice is probably the closest to this.

what movie have you watched a million times, and you still laugh at the jokes? do you know that to watch a movie a million times would take 228 years of constant watching for a 2-hour movie? I don't think anyone would be laughing at jokes after 228 years. But that scene in Sleepless in Seattle when the men are making fun of the way the woman talks about a movie -- that one hasn't failed yet...)

what movie do you hope you never see again? there are many, I'm sure, but I can't think of one offhand.

have you ever hugged a stuffed animal or pillow and pretended that it was your significant other, or someone you had a crush on, and then someone caught you talking to it, and stroking its soft, fuzzy fur, and laughed at you and told the whole school? speaking of stupid questions... no.

do you drive? Yes

if so, do you like to drive at night or in the day time? I like driving at night if there's not a lot of oncoming traffic; the headlights bother my eyes after a while.

has anyone ever called you a bitch? Yes, a long time ago.

has anyone ever called you an asshole? Probably

are you a bitch/asshole? No.

what's the first thing you do when you get home from school/work? I don't go to school/work.

favorite pop tart flavor The ONLY pop tarts I like are strawberry ones WITHOUT frosting. That frosting stuff is terrifying.

do you play any musical instruments? Yes, I play the piano and the flute.

have you ever built a snowman? Yes

did you cry when it melted, or when the kid next door knocked its head off with a shovel? "the kid next door" is a pair of ladies who are probably in their late 80's; they don't do a lot of snowman vandalism. And no, I didn't cry when it melted.

what's your religion? Christian

do you try to force it on other people? sigh. It is impossible to force religion on ANYONE, we all have the ability and right to decide things for ourselves. I occasionally tell people what I believe and why. But even if I could, I wouldn't force it on anyone; if it were possible to do so, it would fully negate the value of any beliefs at all.

do you knock on people's doors at 7 a.m. on saturdays, trying to give them a pamphlet and tell them about the lord, or ask random people at the mall if they’ve been saved, yet you think that doesn’t count as forcing religion, you son of a bitch? I do not do these things. People who do are annoying to the general populace. However, they're not forcing. See above.

have you ever been flipping channels late at night and caught a glimpse of some porn on skinemax? see above re:television.

if so, did you watch it? don't say no, i know you did n/a

what's the code word or phrase you and your friends use for the word SEX? um, sex. Sorry to disappoint you, but we're adults.

is sex an uncomfortable topic for you? Not in the right company.

what is the one thing in the world that just looking at it makes you vomit, or come close to it? I can't think of anything genuine offhand. In a previous life I would have put something rude and bitter here. But I'm not like that now. ;)

when other people vomit, does it make you sick? Are you kidding? I'm a mother. I can change puky clothes, wipe puky faces, tables, and chairs, and then resume eating my own meal. Or if T is dealing with the mess, I can eat right through the whole thing.

do your clothes match? generally I try to make sure they don't clash.

what are you wearing right now? a pair of cheezy overall shorts, too short for someone built like me. I'm not going out of the house in this, I just got tired of being in my jammies every day for hours, so I resolved to start getting dressed as soon as I got out of bed. And this was the first thing I pulled out of my drawer this morning.

did you ever have those fisher price roller skates that go over top of your shoes? No, but I had a pair of the roller-rink kind.

did you have a bike with a banana seat? Yes

could you ride it? Yes

have you lived in the same house your entire life? No. have lived in about 15 different houses -- only two (on the same property) since I got married though.

what’s the weirdest thing you’ve lived next to? hmm. I lived next to a wrecking yard once, and I lived in an apartment above the shop at a sand and gravel plant. Most people would probably think that was the weirdest place. Especially since it is next to a man-made pond on a creek about a mile down from the local sewage treatment facility, and your average person from my town has the mistaken idea that that pond has something to do with the sewer. But it doesn't.

who is the ugliest person you’ve ever seen? This is a mean question. I'm not gonna answer it.

do you watch talk shows? see above re:television.

do you think miss cleo is full of shit? who the heck is miss cleo?

if not, have you called her and wasted your money, you idiot? huh?

what are your thoughts on keeping animals in captivity? It's very useful in zoos. Most of us would never see most of those animals live and in person if they weren't in a zoo. And I have no problem with domesticated animals either.

what do you think of all the “superstores” that are popping up everywhere? (super walmart, super k-mart, super target)? They're very convenient. (there are super Targets?). But I've never been in one, unfortunately.

what do you think of pop music? Some of it is OK, especially from the 80's.

tell me something i don’t know In France, they say that ducks say "Couin", and roosters say "Co-co-ri-co!"

nap, and the Friday Five

T shifted his work schedule today -- went in two hours early so he could get off two hours early as well -- and when he came home, he was going to take our trash to the dump. Both kids inexplicably wanted to go with him. As an aside, garbage time is one of those times I am SO glad to be a woman, married to a big manly man. It's his job, I don't have to go to the stinky smelly dump and throw bags of nasty trash into a hole or a huge dumpster or whatever they have set up for the purpose for that trip. Hey, I'll bear the children and do the cooking and cleaning up and child-teaching and nose-wiping and 2:30 a.m. tending and stuff, if he'll be the one to get up at five every weekday and go work his hiney off 40 minutes from home so that we can have a roof over our heads and food to eat and stuff like that... if he'll go to the dump too. That's the deal. Anyway, I digress. The kids both wanted to go with him, so I got an unexpected nap, which was just what I needed. I lay on the couch with two cans of diet Coke, two Advil, an Outlander book, my heating pad, my three pillows, a blanket, and a deep sense of pervading joy. I took the Advil with the first drink of diet Coke, and pretty much slammed the whole can right down; then I drank the second can slightly more slowly while I read for a while. Meanwhile my heating pad was not cooperating -- I'm not sure it was even reflecting my own body heat, let alone producing its own. Granted, it's a very old heating pad, and you know how they all say on that read-this-or-thou-shalt-surely-die warning label thingie that you should never lie on them? Well who pays any attention to that? Of course we've been lying on it for the entire nine years of our ownership of it (and I think we got it from my parents when they got a new one, so it was probably well-used before that also). Anyway, maybe there's a reason you're not supposed to do that; maybe they just sort of stop working after ten or twenty years of being laid upon. Who knew. I ignored it though, and figured I could sleep without the extra heat, but I'd snuggle my lower back up against it really nicely just in case it decided to do its job. Then just as I was about to drift off, I started getting this bizarre tingly-fingers feeling, and my heart rate acted a little funny. Now, in retrospect, I know that this was most likely just the effect of having drunk 24 oz of caffeinated soda just prior to lying down and attempting to sleep -- all that drug-induced energy had to go somewhere, so it was just kind of fizzling through my body looking for an outlet, is my thought. At the time, however, just on the verge of sleep (last night at this stage I had a long and detailed semi-dream about meeting Diana Gabaldon on a shuttle bus in Yosemite, for example), I was relatively certain that it was that heating pad seeking revenge for having been relentlessly laid down upon for so many years by slowly electrocuting me. Hey, I was on the verge of sleep, shut up.


At any rate, I was too tired to care, and I had such a nice long solid nap, so solid and long that I woke up with that dreadful slept-in-the-daytime feeling just as T and the kids arrived home. I consoled myself with another diet Coke and a chicken caesar salad, and everything looked so much brighter.


Tomorrow T and LT are heading for San Diego overnight, and C and I will be having a ladies' weekend in, for the most part. We'll play "dress-up princess" (in other words, she'll try on all the hand-me-downs I just got from my aunt for her, to see which ones will go in her drawers/closet and which ones will go in a box for next year), and I have made us a reservation at our favorite semi-fancy restaurant, where we'll wear nice dresses. This is to make the time special for us too, since we couldn't go with the boys on their Charger-sheet-metal pickup trip. I've been looking forward to it as much as T has been looking forward to acquiring his rear quarter skins, or whatever they're called.



Here's the Friday Five.


1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?

I am awful at this question and I can never pick one person/group/artist. I like such a variety of music. If I had to pick one artist to listen to for the rest of my life, I'd probably pick, hmm, Mozart.



2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?

I don't know any names, and one benefit of adulthood is that I don't have to listen to music I don't like, so I'm not highly qualified to answer this question. I don't like rap, I can say that for sure.



3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?

This is a bit of a strange question. Liking someone as an artist doesn't imply liking him or her as a person to begin with. It would vary with the person.



4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?

n/a, never been to a concert. I have been to The Phantom of the Opera during its extended run in San Francisco a few years ago, and it was just incredible.



5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?Well, I think this is not necessarily the artists talking. It's the recording industry, and they do have a lot to lose if people don't buy CDs. But I see them as a middle-man with a foot on the neck of the public, exploiting artists. If I were a famous artist right now, I'd cut my ties with the recording industry, offer my music for free or really cheap online, and give really awesome concerts that drew large crowds.

One possible solution as I see it would be for the artists to arrange to have pay-per-song downloading. This way you could get a CD you liked for $15, instead of one that has two songs you like and a dozen songs you're ambivalent about. I think that problem is the reason for a lot of the downloading that goes on -- I know it's been mine at times.

Movie List


I stole this from Emiline220, who stole it from Jenn. I'm thinking about stealing their book list thing too, even though it's just from ivillage and it has "The Mists of Avalon" on it. ;-) I can't seem to find a more authoritative one that goes beyond the 20th century but doesn't include a bunch of foreign stuff.

1. CITIZEN KANE (1941)

Um, I've seen most of this. But I really wasn't paying attention. It was my grandfather's favorite movie because he used to work for William Randolph Hearst (kept his aviary, of all things). So when I was in a spate of Grandpa-reminiscence I tried to watch it -- key word being "tried". I kept wondering what the hype had all been about. Which shows what an uncultured individual I am.


2. CASABLANCA(1942)

Yes, I have seen this. I liked it pretty well, not so much as a romantic love story, because it's really not that. It was like watching Schindler's List and wondering at exactly what point the hero's motive changed from mercenary to humanitarian.


3. THE GODFATHER (1972)

I've seen this several times. First as a teenager, and I didn't like watching it because it felt creepy to feel sympathetic toward the Mafia. Then I watched it as an adult and wondered how it could have made me feel sympathetic toward them at all -- I guess I hadn't learned the concept of the antihero yet at 15.



4. GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)

Seen it a few times. I like it pretty well but I think its huge popularity was based on factors that are a bit dated now. It was the biggest deal in movies at the time, based on a then-current bestseller. It's still a great story, but not the be-all and end-all, if you ask me.


5. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)

Never seen it.


6. THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939)

Of course I've seen this one, several times. It's another one that was great for its time -- although it is a prime example of how little filmmakers cared about faithful adaptation at that time. Baum's stories are hardly reflected here at all.


7. THE GRADUATE (1967)

I've seen it twice -- in high school because of the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack, and as an adult on Turner Classics. It was... very interesting. Especially seeing the woman I thought of as Gram from Homecoming playing a jealous seductress.


8. ON THE WATERFRONT (1954)

Never seen it.


9. SCHINDLER'S LIST (1993)

We own this. We watch it once every couple of years. We actually watched it in the theater on our honeymoon, how's that for a mood setter? But it is probably the most important movie I've ever seen. Everyone over the age of 13 or so should watch it.


10. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952)

Seen it, loved it. :) Did you know that all the songs were just kind of thrown in there? None of them were written with this story in mind.


11. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)

One of my very favorites. I love it, love it, love it. And I own it.


12. SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950)

Never seen it.


13. THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957)

T and I watched this not long ago. I liked it. I surprise myself with my ability to enjoy war movies. This is the same person (well, not really) who committed an act of peacable protest by putting my head on my desk with my eyes closed when we watched Glory and Patton during history class. Oh yes, I was deep.


14. SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959)

Never seen it, don't particularly want to.


15. STAR WARS (1977)

Not only did I watch this when I was little, but my son is as obsessed with it as my brother (and my husband) were as children. I've probably watched it half a dozen times in the last two months; we borrow it from the library over and over. T and I watched The Empire Strikes Back in our hotel room the second morning of our honeymoon. (weren't we the romantic ones! but hey, we were TIRED!). The hotel offered free video rentals but everything else they had was lame.


16. ALL ABOUT EVE (1950)

Never seen it.


17. THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1951)

I've seen it a few times. I like it.


18. PSYCHO (1960)

Never seen it.


19. CHINATOWN (1974)

Never seen it.


20. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (1975)

Never seen it. Did you know that Ken Kesey (who wrote the book) refused to watch this movie? So I figure I definitely should at least read the book before I watch it, and I haven't gotten around to it yet.


21. THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1940)

I've seen this a lot of times. It was one of my other grandfather's favorites. When I was in high school, my socialist self was in love with Steinbeck. My copy of this is shamelessly highlit all over -- every single reference that a "deep" 16-year-old would find important. Gag. My brother-in-law borrowed my copy years ago, and I keep meaning to buy him one and take mine back so that I can keep the incriminating evidence under close supervision. :)


22. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)

I have started to watch this several times. Someday I'll finish it.


23. THE MALTESE FALCON (1941)

Never watched it.


24. RAGING BULL (1980)

Never watched it.


25. E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982)

I watched this in the theater when I was 7 or so. I haven't seen it in years, though.


26. DR. STRANGELOVE (1964)

I've never seen it. T loves it though, so eventually we will have to rent it.


27. BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967)

Never seen it.


28. APOCALYPSE NOW (1979)

Never seen it.


29. MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (1939)

I've watched this. I liked it. I am a big Jimmy Stewart fan.


30. THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948)

Never seen it.


31. ANNIE HALL (1977)

You know, I read a clip from an interview with Woody Allen, where he was talking to Europeans about how Americans don't like him; they wonder what the fuss is all about. That's me! me! right there. I watched this on TCM because it's one of those "important" movies and I hated it.


32. THE GODFATHER PART II (1974)

I think I watched this once years ago, but I don't remember much from it.


33. HIGH NOON (1952)

Um, this is an Eastwood one, right? That means I've seen it, but I don't remember anything specific about it.


34. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962)

I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Oh wow. Love love love it. Here is my IMDB review of it.


35. IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934)

I saw this once. I really liked it! Did you know that Bugs Bunny gnawing a carrot was based on a scene from this movie? And that almost nobody ate raw carrots till this movie came out? (I love the IMDB).


36. MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969)

I saw the beginning of this on Turner Classics but never finished it. It didn't look appealing.


37. THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES (1946)

This is the first one on this list that I have never even heard of.


38. DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944)

And here's the second one.


39. DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (1965)

I watched this once when I was maybe junior high age. It didn't capture my attention. I'll probably have to watch it again sometime, maybe after I read the book.


40. NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959)

I adore Cary Grant, and I really liked this movie as well. Interesting twists in it.


41. WEST SIDE STORY (1961)

I own this. It's one of my favorites. The weird thing is that the guy who plays Tony (I know his name but it's not coming to me right now) looks JUST like the guy who used to be the pastor of our church. So much like him that I can't get it out of my head watching the movie that it is him. Kind of distracting.


42. REAR WINDOW (1954)

Another one I own. This was the first Hitchcock movie I'd ever seen and it was an excellent introduction. I recorded it off cable. Grace Kelly's clothes are just amazing in it, and all the actors do a really good job. (IMDB-gleaned trivia tidbit: all the sound in this movie is internal --in other words it's all happening in the movie, not superimposed over it for effect. It's neat to watch it and pay attention to that.)


43. KING KONG (1933)

Never seen it. I've only ever seen clips from it.


44. THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915)

Never seen it.


45. A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (1951)

Never seen it.


46. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)

Never seen it.


47. TAXI DRIVER (1976)

Never seen it.


48. JAWS (1975)

I watched this a long time ago on HBO, as in, when I was a little girl. Scared me to death, I think it was my first horror movie. Or maybe it was Jaws 3 I saw. Who knows.


49. SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937)

I've seen this. I did a biographical report on Walt Disney when I was in ninth grade and it's very interesting for me to watch his movies, especially the early ones, after learning a lot about him.


50. BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (1969)

Never seen it.


51. THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940)

I read the play first. Then I saw the movie. It was well-made and all, it just deals with an aspect of life with which I am fully unfamiliar. The whole high society thing kind of leaves me cold. But like I said, a well-made movie nonetheless.


52. FROM HERE TO ETERNITY (1953)

Never seen it, and I really want to.


53. AMADEUS (1984)

Another of my favorites. I gush about this movie endlessly to my husband after we've watched it. I'll spare you that and just show you my IMDB review of it.


54. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1930)

I watched this once, in ninth grade, after I think we read the book in class. It was also during my war-protest days but I at least had sense to realize that it was an anti-war story. Doesn't mean I watched the movie though. I did not "do" battle at the time. I was too pure. And angst-y. And altogether too teenaged.


55. THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965)

We own this on DVD AND video (it's a great one for putting both on at once and switching back and forth to see how much DVD kicks butt over VHS). Sappy or not, we love it.


56. M*A*S*H (1970)

I watched the TV show when it was on when I was little (and I might add that it all flew directly over my head. I was so puzzled, among other things, about why the guy dressed in women's clothes. Dad told me it was because he was trying to prove he was crazy so he could get out of the Army. ahem. :), but never saw the movie.


57. THE THIRD MAN (1949)

And the third one I've never heard of. :)


58. FANTASIA (1940)

Another one of my kids' favorites, although we don't own it. I have the 3-DVD anthology on my Christmas list. We LOVE the whole idea of Fantasia, and my kids "play Fantasia" whenever we listen to classical music -- they tell me "what it is saying." Needless to say this totally breaks my heart. waah.


59. REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955)

Never saw it, and keep meaning to.


60. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)

I've seen it a couple of times. It's funny.


61. VERTIGO (1958)

My second Hitchcock. I love it. So creepy and hard to figure out the first time! Trivia: they had to use computers to superimpose the tower on that mission because it doesn't have one. I've been there plenty of times. It's much more interesting to go there having seen the movie, and vice versa.


62. TOOTSIE (1982)

This is a great movie. Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman worked so well together, and Teri Garr, and Jessica Lange too. This was another one that I saw when I was younger and didn't really "get". I really enjoy it as an adult though.


63. STAGECOACH (1939)

Never seen it.


64. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977)

I think I saw part of this once, when I was little, but I have very little memory of it.


65. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)

Great, great movie. T hates it, but I don't. So creepy.


66. NETWORK (1976)

Never heard of it.


67. THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (1962)

This is such a well-made movie. People in film-making school should have to take a class in it. Except Frank Sinatra, he's kind of what NOT to do. But overall, WOW. Here's my IMDB review for it.


68. AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (1951)

I watched part of this on Turner Classics but didn't get to finish it. I'll have to give it another shot some day; it looked pretty good.


69. SHANE (1953)

I read the book in elementary school but I've never seen the movie.


70. THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971)

Never seen it.


71. FORREST GUMP (1994)

Watched it on video when it was pretty new; I thought it was OK but I wasn't as impressed as everyone else seemed to be.


72. BEN-HUR (1959)

My daughter loves this movie. She's 3!! She wants to watch the chariot race over and over. And it is a pretty good movie. I think this is the only thing I've seen Charlton Heston in.


73.WUTHERING HEIGHTS(1939)

I've never seen it. I had a hard time seeing colors after reading the book, though; it was so dark and depressing. I love Jane Eyre but Charlotte should have taught Emily a thing or two. This book was like a soap opera set in Gothic/Victorian language. Anyway, I digress, I've never seen the movie.


74. THE GOLD RUSH (1925)

Never heard of it.


75. DANCES WITH WOLVES (1990)

I saw it once. I didn't really pay attention. Poor Kevin Costner, he was the hottest thing going for a while and now nobody will look at him.


76. CITY LIGHTS (1931)

Never seen it.


77. AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973)

T and I watched this, and liked it. He is a car buff. For me, the most fun part was racking my brain trying to figure out who the actors were -- "I KNOW THAT GUY! WHO IS THAT?" I could hardly wait for the credits to roll before I ran to the IMDB to find out.


78. ROCKY (1976)

I think I saw this one. But it may have been Rocky III. Come to think of it, yes, it was, because that was the one with Mr. T. So I've never actually seen the original.


79. THE DEER HUNTER (1978)

Never seen it.


80. THE WILD BUNCH (1969)

Never seen it.


81. MODERN TIMES (1936)

Never seen it.


82. GIANT (1956)

Never seen it.


83. PLATOON (1986)

Never seen it, don't want to.


84. FARGO (1996)

Never seen it. When it was new I didn't want to but now that that hype has died down I think it sounds interesting and maybe I'll rent it.


85. DUCK SOUP (1933)

Never seen it.


86. MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1935)

I saw part of it on cable once but never got to finish it. I keep meaning to, though.


87. FRANKENSTEIN (1931)

Never seen it. Never read the book either.


88. EASY RIDER (1969)

Never seen it.


89. PATTON (1970)

See above re: Bridge on the River Kwai.


90. THE JAZZ SINGER (1927)

Never seen it.


91. MY FAIR LADY (1964)

We own this. It is a family favorite. I wish they'd have let Audrey Hepburn do her own singing though. The clips I've heard of her sound better than Rex Harrison did, speaking his songs, and the dubbing sounds a bit fake. Marni Nixon did a great job, though; it's beyond me why she didn't have more up-front roles.


92. A PLACE IN THE SUN (1951)

Never seen it.


93. THE APARTMENT (1960)

Never seen it.


94. GOODFELLAS (1990)

Never seen it.


95. PULP FICTION (1994)

Never seen it and don't particularly want to.


96. THE SEARCHERS (1956)

Never seen it.


97. BRINGING UP BABY (1938)

I'm torn about whether I want to see this or not. I might.


98. UNFORGIVEN (1992)

We watched this when it was new. My dad and brother were disapppointed in Clint having gone a bit soft. If they'd only known that Bridges of Madison County was coming, they'd have counted their blessings...


99. GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER (1967)

Never seen it.


100. YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942)
Never seen it.


OK, now my fingers are totally, totally worn out from typing. They actually feel bruised. Ouchy.

100+ Things About me


100+ THINGS ABOUT ME

1. I was born on Christmas in 1974.

2. I lived in 7 or so houses my first 4 years of life, then in 6 more houses in the next 24 years.

3. I was born in the same small town where I live now.

4. I lived in Taft and Maricopa, CA for a few months when I was around 2 years of age.

5. Other than that I have never lived anywhere but this small town.

6. My brother taught me to read when I was 3 years old.

7. By the time I was in kindergarten I was reading at a 3rd grade level.

8. I also had a really bad cold when I started kindergarten.

9. Kids on the bus, including high schoolers, called me "Green Slime" and the nickname stuck for that whole year on the bus.

10. Socially my elementary school years absolutely sucked.

11. When I was in 6th grade the class bully put dog biscuits in my lunch bag when we were eating indoors (because, you see, I was a dog, ie, a very ugly person).

12. Even the teacher laughed, although she tried to hide it.

13. I did not laugh. I did try very hard not to cry in front of everyone.

14. I was pretty homely but I didn't deserve the treatment I got.

15. Being smart didn't help.

16. In sixth grade I won the California State Spelling Championship.

17. Greg Evans, who draws the comic strip "Luann", was there as the guest speaker at the banquet.

18. As the winner, I got to ask him to draw me a poster of one of his characters. I chose Puddles the dog.

19. I still have that poster somewhere.

20. When I got back to school they held a special assembly for me, and then the principal sent me around to all the classrooms to tell the other kids about my experience and to have them see if they could stump me with words to spell.

21. I spelled "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "antidisestablishmentarianism" in every single classroom.

22. That little "parade around the spelling champion" bit didn't help my popularity at all. (thanks, Mr. Principal).

23. In eighth grade I met the girl who would become my best friend for the next five years.

24. We had a lot, a whole lot, of fun together.

25. It was the first time I had ever been part of a group of friends.

26. My best friend lived with her aunt and uncle. Her mother lived in LA. At Christmastime during my junior year (her sophomore year) her aunt and uncle didn't want her to live with them anymore. So my parents and I asked her to move in with us, and she did.

27. It was a really great experience, even though we had little fights like sisters do. (not that I would know since I don't have a sister).

28. A year later she wanted to live with her mom again so we moved her back down to LA.

29. I went down to visit her three times that spring and summer. These were some of my first trips on my own without my parents.

30. I have never seen her since that summer.

31. We spoke on the phone twice during the first five years and that was all.

32. Then, after ten years of being apart, I tracked her down and called her this last spring.

33. We are very good friends again. (yay!)

34. Halfway through my senior year in high school I became a born-again Christian.

35. I got married the March after I graduated from high school, to a man who had been my archenemy and then my best friend before we fell hopelessly in love.

36. Nine and a half years later we are still hopelessly in love. In fact, much more in love than we were when we started out.

37. And we are still best friends.

38. We did not have sex with each other until our wedding night.

39. When we had been married two years, our son was born.

40. I had had a dream during my pregnancy about having a blue-eyed blond-haired girl. I thought the girl aspect was much more likely to come true than the blue eyes and the blond hair. However, my brown/brown husband and my brown/brown self produced a stunningly gorgeous blue/blond son.

41. When our son was 20 months old, we had a daughter.

42. She had a very severe and rare congenital heart defect.

43. She was supposed to have surgery to correct it when she was three months old. But she died when she was two months and one week old.

44. Our son does not remember her. :(

45. But we do.

46. When our son was 3 1/2, we had another daughter.

47. This little girl was and is perfectly healthy, praise God.

48. I knew before I had children that I wanted to homeschool them. My husband agreed wholeheartedly.

49. Originally our reasons were pretty much solely religious in nature.

50. Now, however, that is only a small part of the reason we homeschool. It's still very important to us, but so are a lot of other reasons.

51. I am 5' 8 1/2" tall.

52. I am trying to lose 44 lb. So far I have lost 15 pounds.

53. I have been stuck at 15 lb. so long that I have lost track of the days.

54. When I got married I weighed 155 lb and wore a size 10/11.

55. My lowest adult weight (just before my senior year of high school) was 142. At that weight I wore a size 9, or 8 in tight jeans ;-).

56. I was getting really uncomfortable in my 14s when I decided to lose weight.

57. I have brown hair that goes to my waist.

58. It is really thin and fine, though.

59. My favorite of my physical features is my eyes.

60. The list of my least favorite of my physical features would be pretty long. At the top, though, are probably my nose, my lips, my skin, and my legs, where I have just discovered a gazillion spider veins.

61. Spider veins, and I'm only 28 years old. Life is totally not fair.

62. My parents, brother, and I lived with my grandma for 5 years while I was growing up.

63. I did not get along AT ALL with my grandmother while I lived with her.

64. Now, however, we get along totally fine and enjoy each other's company.

65. I still have two grandmothers living.

66. My two grandpas and my step-grandma (who was "Grandma" to me and had raised my dad from babyhood) died within 5 years when I was in junior high and high school.

67. My parents have been married to each other for 32 years.

68. I adore my parents. I would choose them as friends even if we were not related.

69. My husband also gets along wonderfully with them.

70. I have a brother who is 2 1/2 years older than me.

71. When we were little it seemed like we fought all the time, but looking back, almost all I remember are fun times with him.

72. When I was 9 1/2 years old I spent my life savings (just over $200) on a small horse. She was a Welsh pony with leopard Appaloosa coloring. I named her Spot. My brother thought this was a stupid name. In fact, pretty much everyone except me thought it was a stupid name.

73. My brother also had a horse. His had been given to him by our grandpa when he was born (family tradition). We rode our horses all over creation until he got a job and got all interested in the girl he ended up marrying. In the summer we would get on our horses in the early morning and ride around the very rural valley we lived in until dinner time.

74. We just had to put Spot down a year ago because she was totally blind and stopped eating.

75. I am almost literally addicted to Diet Coke.

79. I love romantic comedies. My favorite right now is Return To Me

80. I am also a sucker for surveys. Filling in blanks and answering questions just gives me a little thrill.

81. I love doing people's taxes. I am considering taking night classes to become a CPA so that I can get paid for it.

82. I also think about becoming a librarian or a lactation consultant, but I wouldn't do that until the kids were done being homeschooled (in other words, grown).

83. Before I had kids, I had a job as an in-home child-care provider for a local family. I loved that job. I loved the kids. Now they are all teenagers.

84. I love to read. I like reading even better than being on the computer. :)

85. I like classic literature best. In fact I used to only read classics. Then in 2000 I really branched out a lot and now I like a lot of different authors.

86. I am on 19 email lists. I manage them via a stunning array of email filters and folders.

87. I got a job from one of them. It's for an author I like. The author actually runs the list. One day she posted that she needed someone to take over maintaining her webpage. I used to do web design professionally. So I wrote to her and got the job. It is only a few hours a month but it is a lot of fun.

88. I breastfed my children for a total of 3 1/2 years. My son for a year, and my daughter for 2 1/2 years. One of my biggest gripes about the way my middle daughter's situation was handled was that we were told by people (mostly NICU nurses for whom I suspect it would have been inconvenient for us to really try) that she couldn't nurse. By the time we found out she could, my milk was almost dried up and it never caught up. She developed an oral aversion from being tube fed. Some of my most precious memories with her are of the few times I nursed her.

89. I am a staunch breastfeeding advocate. Which is part of the reason I think about becoming a lactation consultant "when I grow up".

90. I love winter weather. Even when it's here and everyone else who was complaining about the summer heat has started to complain about the winter cold, I still love it. I count the weeks until we can have fires in the woodstove and wear sweaters.

91. I applied at four or five colleges when I was in high school, and I got accepted at all of them.

92. My dream college was the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. I got accepted there, and auditioned and was accepted into their Conservatory of Music. But we just did not have the money or the financial aid to send me there. I was very mad at God for a few days, until the man who would later become my husband (unbeknownst to either of us) pointed out that God had something even better planned for me, if he was saying "no" to that. Little did we know...!

93. I decided to start out at a community college and see where God led me from there.

94. Then I got the child care job and wanted to do that instead, and save up money.

95. Then I got engaged and married, and we wanted to have kids pretty much right away. There is always time to go to college.

96. I have never regretted that decision for a minute.

97. I loved taking tests in school. I took the SAT a second time just for fun. I scored in the 99+ percentile both times. But I only ranked twenty-fourth in my class of 105, because my study skills totally sucked and I only wound up with a 3.75 GPA.

98. I played the cornet in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades, until I learned the flute which I played throughout high school and still sometimes play. I also play the piano, but I haven't done much of any instrument since high school.

99. We are planning to buy our first house next year. We have been renting in the same place since we got married.

100. My favorite candy bar is Cadbury Roast Almond. YUM.



101. I have never been in a car accident or had a ticket, in 12 years of driving. Well, except the time when I was 17 that I tried to stop too fast and tapped into a guardrail. But there was no damage.



102. I have never done drugs, at all.



103. In high school I got drunk twice. Once on a stupid blind date, and once on my front porch. Both times it was because I was really thirsty and beer was all that was convenient to drink. It only took one beer each time. Since then, except for champagne on my first wedding anniversary, I've not had a drop of alcohol. It's not exactly because I think it's wrong; I just don't need to do it to have fun, and I'm afraid of losing my inhibitions and looking silly. Someday maybe at a fancy dinner when I don't have to drive anywhere, I'll have a nice drink. who knows.



104. I had two longish-term boyfriends in high school. One was a nice guy, if a bit geeky, but we were just way too immature for a relationship as heavy as ours was, and not really compatible either. The other was, well, a jerk, in a typical testosterone-overloaded juvenile male kind of way.



105. I have a tendency to rely more on people's affection than they do on mine.



106. One of my favorite things about my husband is that this isn't the case with him.



107. I plan to bring my children up with a totally different view of teenage relationships than I had, or than most people have.



108. I adore my husband's arms. Just looking at his wrists... mmm. I have always had a thing for arms.



109. In our household we do not watch television. Really. We have a TV, but it only serves as a monitor for the DVD player and the VCR -- no cable or antenna is attached to it. We like it this way. Occasionally I miss a few things (like kids' shows and documentaries) but we never miss them enough to allow the rest of that glurge into our house.


110. This list was originally just going to have 100 things but I kept thinking of more things.

most embarrassing moment


Today's Diarist.net spark is the following:


What's the first thing you remember? Or rather, what is the oldest memory you have?



The first flash of memory I have, I was probably about 19 months old, because I think it was at our town's celebration of the bicentennial. But it could have been at a different kind of patriotic celebration, and hence I could easily have been a different age. At any rate, I remember walking along, being conscious that I had a frilly cover on over my diaper; the stamp mill at our town's historical museum was running, and there were American flags and red, white, and blue swags everywhere. I don't remember anything that happened; I just have that 2-second loop of mental videotape.


My first memories of events start when I was about 3. I remember when we were moving into a house where we lived for a couple of years when I was preschool age; my parents were occupied moving furniture and things into the house, and I was sitting on a little ledge and found a bottle of something on the ground. Either it was hair dye, or I thought it was, and I poured it over my head. It stung my eyes, I cried, and my mom came over and dealt with the situation. That is the first house I have any memories of living in.

Friday Five


OK, this is a Friday Five that's near and dear to my heart...

1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?


I hate putting away laundry. I am to the point where I enjoy sorting it and putting it in the washer and dryer, and don't even mind folding it, but somehow it always stays in its piles and takes days to get put away. sigh. I also do not like washing dishes, AT ALL, or dealing with the messy clutter that makes it so hard to do real cleaning like mopping floors, which I actually enjoy.


2. Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?

See above re: mopping floors. I also like making beds. This doesn't mean I make mine every day. But I should. It's such a satisfying chore -- five minutes, max, and you have a lovely tidy bed where there was a mess.


3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?

Ideally, I have a routine. I have really neat check-off charts for myself, and when I follow them everything practically takes care of itself. However, I rarely follow them. Man, that says a lot of negative things about me. *sigh*.



4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?

Um, no. Unless you count that I love rearranging furniture. You get most of the fun of moving, with none of the huge hassle.



5. What was the last thing you cleaned?

The last thing I did a very thorough cleaning job on was our living room, last night, while rearranging furniture. :) (see, the hobby is good for something!). I have done a lot of basic tidying and folded a load of laundry today as well. But the dishwasher looks at me disapprovingly every time I walk by. *sigh*

Friday Five


Here's today's Friday Five...


1. Are you going to school this year?

Not in any conventional manner. I am a homeschooling mom teaching my two children.

2. If yes, where are you going (high school, college, etc.)? If no, when did you graduate?

See above, and I graduated from high school in 1993.

3. What are/were your favorite school subjects?

At the time, I really liked music (band and chorus), drama, physics, chemistry, French, geometry, algebra II, trigonometry, and English. My study skills sucked, however, so my grades did not reflect my enjoyment in all instances.

4. What are/were your least favorite school subjects?

PE. PE, PE, PE. Necessary (I even took a semester of it as an elective when I found I was gaining weight my senior year) but despised. It wasn't the teacher, it was just... everything else about it.

5. Have you ever had a favorite teacher? Why was he/she a favorite?

I had a few. There were some I liked a lot (like my French teacher, and the one who taught geometry and higher science classes, and the English/drama teacher) because they were really, really excellent teachers, who got information across in an interesting and enjoyable manner, without trying to be everyone's best friend (or actually, the popular kids' best friend) like some teachers did. Not that they weren't friendly, but that was not the entire focus of their classes.

Friday Five


I forgot about the Friday Five. [drumroll please] This is my [fanfare] FIRST FRIDAY FIVE! :)


1. When was the last time you laughed?


Um, the last time I remember was about four hours ago, listening to a radio show with T in the car.


2. Who was the last person you had an argument with?

I do not remember specifically but I'm sure it was T; I'm not really comfortable enough with most people to argue with them...



3. Who was the last person you emailed?

Last personal email I sent was to a high school friend I've recently reunited with online. The last email, period, was to one of my many email discussion groups.

4. When was the last time you bathed?

About three o'clock this afternoon.

5. What was the last thing you ate?

A Subway footlong roast beef sandwich.
