1. The phone rings; who do you want it to be?
Wrong number. I hate phonecalls and the phone ringing has been a trigger for panic attacks in the past.

Of course. Sometimes I round up a few stray ones as well.

3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
Listener.

Never tried. I imagine I could, though.

My parents sent me to a "camp" at Northwestern University several summers in a row. It was pretty much school, but gave me an idea of what college could be like. I had to take the SATs while in middle school just to get into some of the classes.

9. What was your favorite game as a kid?
Anything involving my siblings and using our imaginations. We could be playing cops and robbers, ninja turtles, or something equally dorky. It didn't matter.


10. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married, would you go for it?
Of course not.

11. Have you lied to get out of a date?
When I was younger, I lied to get out of dating a few guys and going to a couple of dances. I faked being sick once just because I didn't know how to tell a guy I didn't want to go to a dance with him. I've never really dated much, though.

My husband.

I think too much about everything.

Dark brown.

5' 1" on a good day.

24. Where is your dream house located?

38. If you could fast forward your life, would you?
I don't think so. Life's stressful right now, but I'm learning so much.

39. What did you do for New Year's?
I managed to get my family and extended family all over to my place and actually have them all civil and pleasant. That was quite a feat. I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last time that particular group of people would all be in the same room together.
