I'm so compulsive that the Tour Manager's still working on my header while I begin my weekly surfing!

I still have no clue about these and the Coke (that'd be Coca-Cola, thankyouverymuch) I had at lunch would seem to have kicked in 'cause I'm hyper as hell...

Hope to have my TT up shortly.

btw, I'd pick Miami Ink, myself.

Posted by ~ Stacy ~ at January 11, 2007 1:43 AM

Sigh, that's difficult. As cat name I prefer Tippy, husband's name Michael, TV CSI Miami ( and there I have a question : what does CSI mean ? Because here they translated it into "Les experts de Miami")and for my 50th birthday I would go to Las Vegas ! It's so funny there. My 50 I spent in the Sequoia park !

Tippy, because I think it was tripping or falling over and that is how kids think.

Coco, because you liked coco and it was the dogs color.

Michael, um it just sounds like a name that invites trouble.

Hike, because it is lower maitenance than ridng and loading and locking...but you like sitting down but you sit for work so walking is better different for you.

Lilacs because they are perenial and don't need t be re-planted every year.

Angel Food because of the interesting texture.

Miami Ink, it's addictive the guys are funny and you are fascinated by subculture.

Donna Tartt and it is an amazing book and you love it, not so interested in BClinton.

Vegas, because you just went to Florida.

Vampires, way better personalities and stories in their characters.

James Taylor because if it was Astin you'd be all crazy acting.

Pat longer...it's just a name of someone you know from a younger age.

Yokaot, AB...um that is a gut level guess, I don't really KNOW.

Ok, ready to watch me guess wrong all over the place? :) Here I go!

1. What was the name of my first cat, Tippy or Toy?

Um...Tippy. Because the name has an off-kilter quality that seems oddly right for you.

2. What was the name of my first dog, Coco or Bruno?

Bruno. I have no idea why I think that.

3. Was my first husband named Blake or Michael?

Um...Blake? Sounds like the name of someone I might not like...

4. Do I like to hike or ride my bike best?

Hike. I think that because you like to take pictures...photography is a discipline that goes with walking, with taking things slowly.

5. What is my favorite flower, pansies or lilacs?

Uh, lilacs? Because they're more decadent?

6. Is Angel food cake or devil's food cake my favorite?

Devil's food, because really how can someone who loves Snape so much like anything else? ;)

7. What tv show have I been watching alot of lately, Miami Ink or CSI: Miami?

CSI: Miami, but I only guess that statistically, because it's on ALL THE TIME.

8. What book am I reading now, My Life by Bill Clinton or The Secret History by Donna Tartt?

The Secret History - at least, your gmail says so. ;)

9. What do I want to do for my 50th birthday, go to Las Vegas or go to Florida?

Mmm...Vegas? That seems like a more daring 50th-birthday thing?

10. What do I like better, stories about vampires or stories about zombies?

Um. Vampires. Because...well, because! It just has to be true! Right?

11. Which celebrity did I meet, Sean Astin or James Taylor?

Sean Astin, I am guessing, but only because he's the one I can identify first. :)

12. Have I known Pat or Maribeth longer?

Um...Maribeth gets a lot of your What Is It Wednesdays right, so I'll guess Maribeth.

13. Did I used to work at Hanscom AFB or Yokota AB?

No idea! I'll guess Yokota just because that's fun to say out loud. ;)

01. Tippy
02. Coco
