More challenging than most...

At least it was for me. Masg got me again... and now my brain hurts!

1. If you had to choose one vice in exclusion of all others what would it be? Chocolate. Gotta have the chocolate. But I also loves me some wine...

2. If you could change one specific thing about the world what would it be? I would depose our current president, for starters.

3. Name the cartoon character you identify with the most. I've been wracking my brain over this one, and I've got nothing. I don't identify with any cartoon character. Cartman?

4. If you could live one day in your life over again which one would it be? This is a toughie. I've been lucky to have many really great days....so I'll go negative: my wedding day, so I could change the outcome. And NOT walk down that aisle.

5. If you could go back in history and spend a day with one person who would it be? My father.

6. What is the one thing you lost, sold or threw away that you wish you could have back? Uhh... I've lost a couple of pieces of jewelry I really liked, but they didn't have any sentimental value.

7. What is your one most important contribution to this world? I have no idea. I don't know that this is for me to say.

8. What is your one hidden talent that nearly no one knows about? Ummm...uummmmm.... I can't think of one. I don't have one, I guess.

9. What is your most cherished possession? My integrity.

10. What one person influenced your life the most when growing up? I was lucky to have many mentors who cared enough to help guide me through my youth, which was especially key after my father died. I can't name just one.

11. What one word describes you better than any other? One word? Really? Okay... GOOFY.


Why goofy? Because despite my better judgment, I've dipped my toe into the online dating waters again, after a five-year hiatus. Already, I'm less than thrilled by the response. One guy is seeking an 18-35 year old AND defines himself as "ultra conservative."

Another is very into camping and fishing and wakeboarding and other outdoorsy activities. Think he'd like to accompany me to my weekly manicure? Just ask my friend Kim about my one and only "camping" trip. (I'm snorting just thinking about it.)

Oy. What have I done?

Edited to add: Kim's musical recollection of that "camping" trip, when we were 18. Well, when I was 18. She wasn't yet 18:

"memories. like the corners of my mind. misty watercolored meeeeemories of how we ate like we were nevergoing to see food agaaaaain."

Snortalicious!
