I got this email. And I actually enjoy responding--what’s more entertaining for me than writing about myself? But instead of emailing everyone, I'm just posting it here.
1. What time is it: 12:19 p.m.
2. Name: Barbara
3. Name as it appears on birth certificate: Barbara Lynne Dickson
4. Nickname: Barb, BarbL
5. Number of candles on your last birthday cake: 24
6. What size shoes do you wear: 8½
7. Kids: None, happily. I get my fill once a month when I volunteer.
8. Pets: None, other than when we watched Carrie’s family’s dog Duncan for a few days a couple of weeks ago
9. Favorite colors: Purple, red
10. Body piercing: Other than my ears, nope. I mean, I barely ever put in earrings.
11. Eye color: Blue
12. Birth place: White Plains, NY (my family lived in Mahopac at the time, but the hospital is in White Plains)
13. Favorite food: I have to limit it? I’m partial to Chinese food, anything with “teriyaki” in its name, pizza, and Italian.
14. Been to Africa: I have not. When I was younger, we were going to go to Europe and visit people we knew in Kenya. We moved to Connecticut instead.
15. Been toilet papering: Nope. I’m far too mature for that.
16. Love someone so much it made you cry: I’ve never been like, “Oh, I love you, boo hoo hoo!” but things that loved ones have done have made me cry.
17. Been in a car accident: A few minor ones.
18. Crouton of bacon bits: Neither, really.
19. Favorite day of the week: Friday. Friday afternoon, particularly.
20. Favorite saying or phrase: Anything said in a sarcastic manner.
21. Favorite restaurant: Maybe Buca di Beppo. Mmm. Heaping mounds of Italian food. I’m also very partial to Benihana. And there’s a little Italian restaurant in London near Covent Garden that I adore. At this moment, though, I can’t remember what it’s called.
22. Favorite flower: I don’t have one. It’s not like I get flowers. Ever. So it’s not something I’ve ever really thought about.
23. Favorite sport to play: I like to swim. Softball also rocks, but I suck at it.
24. Favorite drink: Alcoholic or not? I love Sierra Mist. Alcoholic? If it involves vodka or rum, I’m good.
25. Favorite Ice Cream: Bubble gum
26. Favorite fast food restaurant: Probably Wendy’s. They’re high-quality fast food.
27. What color is your bedroom carpet: Generic apartment beige.
28. How many times did you fail your driving license test: None. I only got one wrong on the written. And I passed the driving part on the first try, too.
29. Besides this one, from whom did you receive your last email: In my AOL account, and not junk mail? It was from my dad, updating me on my cousin’s wife and baby.
30. Which stores would you choose to max out your credit card: Barnes & Noble
31. What do you do most often when you get bored: Go on the computer. If I’m bored with the computer, read. Or watch tv. I bounced between those three when bored.
