The phone rings, who do you want it to be? Hmm… I don't know. Maybe Britney. She's got a lot of explaining to do.

When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart? I just park by a cart return. I take one from there when I go in and I put it back when I leave. That way I have a good transport for Tabby's heavy bucket.

In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener? If I'm comfortable, I'll talk … quite a lot. Otherwise, I”m quiet.

Do you take compliments well? One on one, yes, but like recognition for something, that makes me want to melt into a puddle on the ground. I hate it.

Do you like to pursue or be pursued? Either I guess. When people ask me if I run, I say “Only when chased.”

Do any songs make you cry? I'm rather embarassed to admit it, but yes. Cat Steven's “The Wind” was a tune we put on my Grandfather's memorial CD and that makes me cry. Two others I associate with him, “Melikalikimaka” (the Hawaiian Christmas song) and “When You Say Nothing at All” can also make me cry. Also, John Lennon's “Oh My Love” seems to pull at my heartstrings for some unknown reason. Oh the shame.

That sounds cruel, but honestly, it really does prepare you for the real world well and teach you not to take yourself too seriously. As a result, my sister once refused to believe me when I said the race to elect the governor was the gubenatorial election. She thought it sounded fake. I think she has a point.
