HERE COMES THE FUN
1. Do we know each other outside of the blogosphere? Yup - and despite the hell we went through, at least we got some good friends out of the deal.
2. What's your philosophy on life? Take things as they come. If you get too upset about little things, you'll just be annoyed all the time. Sometimes I really need to take my own advice.

11. Have you ever been to my house? Oh, this is a bad question. I was at your apartment with the Ex. I never made it to last apartment and haven't been to the new place yet. But I WILL - I promise!!!
12. Do you think I'm a good person? I think you're an amazingly good person, sometimes too good.
13. Would you drive across country with me? Absolutely. I can only imagine the stories we'd have.
14. Do you think I'm attractive? Yes I do. And boys think it too :-).
15. If you could change anything about me, would you? You know what that is - the smoking.
16. What do you wear to sleep? Typically, a t-shirt and pajama pants or t-shirt and shorts. When it's hot, as little as possible.

no time to answer the survey at present (happy hour calls!), but from one grammar freak to another: anna is an alumna of barnard, not an alumnus, right? i mean, unless there's something about "her" that i don't know :)

happy weekend!

 

As a former journalist - with an AP style book gathering dust under my desk - I'd say 'alumna' too :)

 

I 1st met you in Boston 212 in May. '05, in the East 28th Street Location:

I knew you as a textbook editor & know you as a creative writer;

I would LOVE to travel Cross-Country with you;

But, Civil Servants are not well paid;

You once called yourself one who cries. I cried horrifically, when family members were near death, a recent Pope(JP II) was dying & when the Mets caused me to lose sleep in Postseason, this year;

Yes, I'll cover your back when under attack, physical or otherwise;

You're just FUN to be with;

I despise DFYankees;

Many Hugs to You!

5. Favorite Song: Like A Prayer Madonna (I can't explain it)
6. Favorite Band/Artist: None really
7. Dirty or Clean: Clean but messy (Dirty to me is nasty ass stuff like people that leave food out, garbage everywhere, etc... I just have clothes and papers strewn around the place, but it cleans up really quickly if need be)

Neither

HERE COMES THE FUN
1. Do we know each other outside of the blogosphere? Yes

2. Whats your philosophy on life? Remember, No one gets out of Life alive. Plus only worry about the stuff you can control, and even then it's rarely that big of a deal.

4. Whats one thing you always wanted to tell me? You're cuter and a better person than you give yourself credit for.

5. What is your favorite memory of us? Memorial Day Weekend. Fleet Week. Commander Biz. The ball game. Private tours of Navy ships. Good times.

7. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I couldn't think of anything good, but then again you might think this is good or bad depending on your outlook. I used to believe in a lot of the persecuted young white male bullshit ala macd.

oh... I'm a chemical engineer by degree, but I really don't care for math or chemistry I just happen to be good at it.

12. Do you think I'm a good person? Si

13. Would you drive across country with me? Can't see why not.

16. What do you wear to sleep? Boxer briefs.

17. Would you come over for no reason just to hang out? Yep. Just give me a call

18. Would you go on a date with me if i asked you? I think I would, but part of me also feels like we don't have that relationship chemistry. Yet you never know. I'd be more than willing to be proven wrong though.

19. When is the next time we will see each other? No idea, but it needs to be soon. At the latest sometime early next baseball season, but I'll be a little mad if it takes that long.

20. Will you post this so I can fill it out for you? Nowhere to post it, but you can always email me the answers.

 

Whoops. That should read I'll have been in the relationship for three weeks by the time Christmas rolls around.

It happens. It just adds a certain degree of difficulty to the early part of the relationship though.
