Yes, there was a ‘New Monkees’ show, and the fans ares till out there.
Warren, Maria, Kathy (if she was in town), and Angela (’cause she’s a nurse).
If alcohol were banned, what would your reaction be?
I’d probably drag out the notes for building a still that we tried back in undergrad days (Fankenburger rules!), or just live with it.
Do you believe world peace is possible?
No. We’re a world of humans, and humans are never truly happy with what they have. They usually want something someone else has. Like room, or a shiny new bike.
I’m a genie. Name your wish.
A sweet part-time archivist gig that pays just enough to live on without having to go back to selling plasma for food money.
Name one thing about the opposite sex that automatically turns you off.
Dead eyes.
Name one thing about the opposite sex that automatically turns you on?
Only one thing?? Smile, eyes that actually see you, skinny legs with wooly socks (thanks Dave, you’ve ruined me for life, you bastard!), willingness to dance without being drunk.
Speaking of sex, what did you think about Brokeback Mountain?
Never saw it.
What are you obsessive about?
Henry Rollins, Viggo Mortensen, and owning all the coolest fabric and yarn in the world. This list changes, but not by much. 
Do people underestimate you?
I think so, if they’ve just met me. I must give off some weird vibe…
When you’re in a bad mood, what will always put you in a better mood?
Dick van Dyke reruns, sunshine, fresh air, the smell of lilacs, and the Arlenes song, “Lonely won’t leave me alone.”
What do you hope to have accomplished by the end of the year?
Get a job that pays enough that I can stop draining my savings! So far, not looking good.
Do you believe minimum wage should be raised?
Not really. We need to understand that raising the wage doesn’t mean that people will be able to afford more. It just means that everyone raises their prices. Poverty is here to stay, sadly.
What is the background on your computer?
Right now its a beautiful close-up of cherry blossoms that my friend Cornelia took at this years’ Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. She is amazing!!
Do you have any really crazy relatives?
Uncle Jim. Idiot extraordinaire, and causer of much childhood trauma for his kids and all the rest of us.

Last thing you said out loud?
Cripes, I’m up! (to cat who was being persistent in demanding food)
What is the most ridiculous fear you have?
Snakes? No, bats! Luckily, the cat is a master bat-killer.
Who was the last person to hug you? When?
Kathy, when I left Mpls last weekend.
Beach or Mountains?
Depends on what I’m doing there. Probably beach, if its not too hot and there aren’t too many ants.
When is the last time you ate peanut butter and jelly?
Geez, more than a year ago.
Have you ever gotten naked at a party?
In a sauna. It was in an apple orchard, down by a pond. Much fun!

Nope. Debbie Reynolds.

Long, and grey. I can’t wait til it turns completely white!
Who’s car were you in last?
My own!

Very close. It’s between Xmas and NYE.
Do you vote?
Always.
Do you have any friends or family in the war right now?

Are you a vegetarian?
Yes

Eh. We have a mutual disregard policy

Life… How do you feel about it?
The alternative sucks. Let’s say ‘peachy’ like usual.
Have you ever logged on to your bf/gf/crush’s Myspace page?
Of course! Then freaked out that my IP would be tracked. LOL I sent a message anyway. At my age, what’s to be afraid of?!
What do you want?
True love, great friends, good coffee, and just enough money.
