12. Are you thinking of someone right now?
yes.
13. Britney Spears is a skank. Agree or disagree?

you would probably have to pick me up off the floor in a state of utter shock since i am pretty certain that it is NOT possible for me to *be* pregnant right at the moment. (edit to add that *very* important "not"! what a place to have a typo!)
39. Do you trust your friends?
yes, i do.

See's chocolate would be right up there...

Grey's Anatomy & Boston Legal are in a dead tie for current shows. but my all-time favorite show is Friends.

thanks for letting me borrow it Krystyn! =)

Debi Wednesday, February 07, 2007 1:36:00 PM  

That was really fun to read, Dawn! But I have to admit that some of your answers left me quite intrigued/curious.

~**Dawn**~ Wednesday, February 07, 2007 1:45:00 PM  

debi: intrigued? curious? which ones?

Debi Wednesday, February 07, 2007 4:29:00 PM  

Well, first let me say I hope I'm not sounding nosy...really am just intrigued and curious. In other words, I'm not actually expecting you to say any more on any subject. Does that make sense?

Anyway...like #17-does that mean you generally don't like women who have kids or that you haven't known many mother-figures who have amounted to much? (Geez-could I word that any worse?!!)
And #19-I obviously don't know you, but you sound like such a strong person, so I wonder why you feel this way...are you not as totally together as you sound or are you just way too hard on yourself.
And #20-Six places in 15 months! Wow...and why?
And I could go on, I'm sure.

But like I said...I'm truly not trying to be nosy. Honest. Just that it's hard not to wonder about people you find likeable and interesting.

~**Dawn**~ Wednesday, February 07, 2007 8:45:00 PM  

you're not being nosy! if there's something i *really* don't want to elaborate on, i will just say so. =) that being said:

17. i know some really great moms. i think i interpreted this question as mom-figures for *me*. my own mom... well... not so good at that. my Gram had to take over that role. and of all the guys i dated? their moms seemed to think i was the devil incarnate for "stealing" their baby boys. except for the one i mentioned. so as a result, i am perpetually scared of moms now.

19. i am told i hold myself to impossibly high standards. this may be one of those times. i just expect so much more of myself...

20. all in Florida. in November 2005, the house i was living in (#1) sold before the new house was ready so i had to move into a rental house (#2) for 7 weeks. new house still wasn't ready, so i had to move in with my boyfriend-at-the-time's parents' house (#3) for a week. *finally* the new house (#4) was ready. but then things were not going so well & eventually i moved out -- which is a much longer & more complicated story i won't elaborate on here -- so i was living in an apartment (#5) but that was a short-term fix until i moved into the apartment i am in now (#6), which is just a different apartment in the same complex. over that time i have lived in the following cities: Davenport, Winter Garden, Clermont, Auburndale & Lakeland.

I'm guessing you're probably ready to stay put for a while?
