saffronhareIn which I flip back and forth between answering truthfully and exaggerating for shock/scholck value -- even though the truth is often very shocking on its own merits.
1. Are you an innie or an outie? Innie.
2. Have you ever worn bell-bottoms? I think I'm wearing some now (although techically they're "boot cut" pants).
3. Have you ever written a song? I've made some up, but it's sort of an oral tradition.
4. Can you make change for a dollar right now? Yes. In pennies.
5. Have you ever been in the opposite sex's bathroom? Yes. It smelled wierd.
6. Have you ever smelled your own feet? Caught a whiff? Yes. Leaned down for a sniff? No. But I am flexible enough to nibble on my own toes...
7. Do you like ketchup on or beside your french fries?
I like an irrational amount of ketchup, but on the side.
8. Can you touch your tongue to your nose? No.
9. Have you ever been a boy/girl scout? Brownie and junior. Quit right after "flying up" to cadets. Never sold cookies.

16. Have you ever gone skinny-dipping? Yes.
17. When you are at the grocery store, do you ask for paper or plastic? I'm never really paying enough attention.

Yes, but I don't remember what I called it.
20. Have you ever tried to cut your own hair? All the time.

27. Have you ever thrown-up after a roller coaster ride? No.

37. Have you ever fallen asleep in school? No.
38. How many times have you flown in an airplane in the last year? At least 6. Lost track.
39. How many foreign countries have you visited? Um...10, I think. Mostly Northern Europe.
40. If you were out of shape, would you compete in a triathlon if you were somehow guaranteed to win a big, gaudy medal? Oh, I'd probably just compete for the chance to kick some ass sorrier than my own.
