Now, pixiedash, don’t forget that you’ve already done this one. 😉

Literacy and reading.
2. Are you a virgin? If not, how old were you when you lost your virginity?
Nope, and 22.
3. Are you addicted to anything?
Um, I don’t think I’m addicted to anything. There are things that I like very much, though. Like dessert.

It depends. There is one stop on the Weird Chicago tour that never fails to creep me out.
5. Are you short tempered?
I can be if I am overwhelmed, stressed, and/or depressed.
6. Can you dance? Do you like dancing?
I think I’m an OK dancer. I took lots (OK, three) dance classes in college. I enjoy dancing, and I really want DDR for Wii.
7. Do you believe in life afther death?
Sometimes. I struggle with this a lot.
8. Do you believe in marriage? Why?
Yes…. I’ve seen successful ones, so I know it can be done. To make that committment and actually honor it is not easy, but miraculous.
9. Do you consider yourself a neat or messy person?
So-so. I like it when things are neat, but I’m not always inclined to stay neat.

I can be. Sometimes, I just want to lie around in my pajamas and read or watch ANTM marathons all day.
11. Do you have a role model?
Sure.
12. Do you like cooking?
Every once in a while. I like to bake better, but I’m not crazy like swankivy. I don’t really do the homemade thing. Betty Crocker for me.
13. Do you like eating out at restaurants?
YES!

I LOVE traveling. Best vacation so far? Disney World in 2005. Having Aidan there made the place THAT much more magical.
18. Do you read? Has any particular book influenced you or left a life-changing impact?
I real all the time. Books that left a life-changing impact? Hmm. Probably one of the early VC Andrews novels. You know, the ones written by the real author, not those ghost writers. That woman’s work was so inspiring. Her characters, her plots. Amazing. I decided I wanted to write like that. I wanted people to look up and expect to see my characters in the room, waiting to talk to them about the things in the book.
19. Which are your favorite authors?
Adam Selzer (adamselzer), Sarah Dessen (writergrl), Laurie Halse Anderson (halseanderson), and my author friends on LJ. 🙂

I’m sure more than I know.
23. Have you gone through therapy of any sort?
Yes.
24. How ambitious are you?
Some days I’m all LET’S ROCK THIS! Some days I’m like “what’s the use?” So it depends on the day, weather, what side of the bed I’ve woken up on, etc.
25. How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
Getting fed good food, and getting gifts. Just being treated as though I’m special.
26. How do you like to spend New Year’s Eve?
Inside, eating good food, watching the ball drop, wearing PJs, etc.
27. How important is money to you?
It rarely comes very easily to me. I have to be kind of frugal more often than not, so it’s important to me in that I worry about having enough of it from month to month often.
28. How important is your family to you?
Aidan = ♥
29. How long are you on the internet every day?
TOO LONG! But in all fairness, I do work on the Internet, so…. 😉
30. How patient are you?
Depends on my mood.
31. How romantic are you?
Hmm. I am not sure. I’m not one of those girls who needs or even wants flowers and candy for the holidays. Romance to me is respect, laughing together, enjoying each other.
32. If you could change one event in history what would it be?
This is a hard one. There are things that I wish I’d have done differently or knew, but then I would probably be a different person, wouldn’t I? It’s best that I don’t even worry about it.
33. If you could go on a vacation anywhere in the world where would it be?
Disney World.
