Big Red

Nah, I didn't think up the questions meself. It's a standards questionnnaire.

I'll get to Dent's extra questions when I get a minute to breathe. They look interesting.

Way too busy again today!

Big Red

OK, definitely NOT so busy today, so here are my answers to Dent's questions:

Favourite piece of technology: the Internet.
Favourite author and book: addressed above in #14; I don’t think I could pick one favorite book.
Favourite quote: “I love your dress, but your purse is on fire.” Tallulah Bankhead to the pope.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Overcoming many odds and obstacles to achieve the life I wanted to live.
When and where were you happiest? On my wedding day, in Florida, Nov. 15, 1986.
What is your greatest regret? That I didn’t start singing with a band till I was 40, then stopped after only seven months (because I moved to another state, but still . . . )
What is your most treasured possession? This one’s hard, because I don’t really care that much about possessions. I’ll say my out-of-print Joe Jackson albums and my engagement, wedding and 10th-anniversary rings.
What is your greatest extravagance? Clothes and wine.
What is your favourite journey? Home.
What is it that you most dislike? See #21 above.
If you could choose what to come back as, what would it be? A housecat.
If you could travel in time, would you go backward or forward? Forward.

I've heard that she might not really have said that, but it's *great* anyway. So let's say she did!
