1. What's your favorite holiday?
Christmas, although I've been so frazzled and aggitated the last few years I didn't enjoy as much. (Hhmmm, could have something to do w/ my L.A. family branch.)
2. How many hours a day do you work?
8
3. How many clocks are in your house (not counting computer or VCR timers etc.)
~9 I think (3 belong to my cousin who cannot wake up).
4. How many of those clocks have the correct time?
7 I believe w/in 5 min - 1 is really just for show (a gag gift) and we haven't cared to make it correct. Another is (now) old and pretty but soon after my aunt bought it for my parents, it stopped working. So all my life I've seen it only as a decorator item that still hangs on a wall.
5. What are your parents' first names?
Gerhardt and Barbara
6. Are you the eldest, middle, youngest or only child of the family?
Youngest
7. How old were you when you had your first real kiss?
How about never? Almost @ 16, but I didn't like the guy really so I didn't let him. Oh wait - what is a real kiss? I remember a 12yo I knew kissing me hiding in a parking lot when I was around 8 or 9. LOL
8. Have you ever bounced a check?
No.
9. How do you commute to work?
Drive.
10. Do you talk/walk in your sleep?
Not generally, but have been known to talk rarely. When sleeping w/my cousin on vacation ages ago, she said I said something like "I'll take her you take the other one".
11. Do you believe there is life in outer space?
Yes. Considering the odds of a vast space and the fact that life can be a single-celled protozoa.
12. Have you ever had a broken bone?
Yes.
13. Would you rather be forced to watch soap operas or game shows for 12 hours?
Game shows.
14. Does your PC have the correct time?
Yes.
