1. What was your favorite movie from childhood (let's cut it off at 10 years old)?

I don't really remember, but I do know what when I was younger...like 11 or 12 maybe, my favorite movie was "the Burbs" with Tom Hanks. Hell, I still love that movie.

2. What's your favorite song to dance to?

Wow. Thats a tough one. There really are so many. Any older Madonna songs, a lot of 80's music. Little bit of 90's hip hop, like "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe...stuff like that.

3. What was your favorite book as a child (same age cut-off)?

"A Light in the Attic" by Shel Silversteen. There was another book called "Roll Call", I don't remember who it's by, but it's a book about all of the crazy creatures that Noah forgot to put on the ark. It's funny stuff.

4. If you could go back to school, paid in full, would you go back for something else and what would be and why?

If I didn't have to work full time while going, I might want to go back to be a Vet.

5. What's your biggest pet peeve?

WAY too many to name. Seriously. Just about everything is a pet peeve with me.

1. What was your favorite movie from childhood (let's cut it off at 10 years old)?
I loved Ghostbusters and the Muppet Movies.

2. What's your favorite song to dance to?
This IS hard. I don't know why I asked it...
Okay, damn it, I'm stuck. I really like dancing to Never Let Me Down by Depche Mode. Insert Dead Milkmen joke here:

3. What was your favorite book as a child (same age cut-off)?
Hands f-ing down, Where the Sidewalk Ends.

4. If you could go back to school, paid in full, would you go back for something else and what would it be and why?
I used to think school was not for me but I was thinking the other night that I might like to go to culinary school. Although I've heard that it's better to apprentice and work your way up "honestly" as I've heard other chefs put it.

5. What's your biggest pet peeve?
Good answer Kata. Me too it feels like sometimes. My number one would have to be "The Entitled". That's what I call people who think their time is more precious than mine. You know, the douche who won't turn his cell off at the Urgent Care even after the doctor came out and personally asked him? Screw that guy. Or chicks on their bedazzled sidekicks who are letting the whole world know that, apparently, their ass is juicy and they can't even look the fuck up when they bump into you? Yeah, those people...

1. What was your favorite movie from childhood (let's cut it off at 10 years old)?

Hard to say- I loved the Wizard of Oz and all those claymation Christmas movies- the ones with Kris Kringle and the Hamburgermeister etc.

2. What's your favorite song to dance to?

So embarassing but Prince songs. Really get me going- woo hooo!

3. What was your favorite book as a child (same age cut-off)?

A Wrinkle in Time but someone recently told me that they are very indoctrinating to Christianity which made me go "What?!" I just loved the whole little girl time traveling aspect of it. Very empowering IMHO.

4. If you could go back to school, paid in full, would you go back for something else and what would be and why?

Um, prolly to write in some capacity.

5. What's your biggest pet peeve?

Fakeness, but more specifically, disingenuousness.

Don't laugh... The Last Unicorn.

There, I said it.

2. What's your favorite song to dance to?

hmmm.

hmmmmmm.

It's gotta be "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s.

Again, don't laugh too hard.

3. What was your favorite book as a child (same age cut-off)?

A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle...

also Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, by Robert C. O'Brien.

Maybe I just preferred authors with apostrophes in their names.


4. If you could go back to school, paid in full, would you go back for something else and what would be and why?

If I didn't just finish off my EE stuff (easiest at this point), I'd want a PhD in physics, or architecture (buildings).


5. What's your biggest pet peeve?

When people don't take action to solve problems, especially when it's their job to do so. I've been FIGHTING with HR, IT, and the benefits people since I started this job, to get all my accounts and insurance coverage set up. Seventy-five percent of the people I talk to seem to be stuck in a rut of delegating the fix to someone else. WTF is their job if all they do is tell customers that someone else has to fix it? It's so stupid! It's exactly when someone at whatever store can't give you customer service or think for themselves because "the computer says" they can't. BS.

In short, my biggest pet peeve is people who don't use their godd@mn wits to think problems through, and/or make excuses instead of DOING something.
