1) What is your salad dressing of choice?
Vinaigrette with red wine vinegar

Any day I don't have to work.

22) Favorite Month?
Hmmm...I like December. It's a short working month, you get to meet familiy at Christmas, and it gives me the feeling I have accomplished something.

Lots...a hundred or so?

37) Ever in a car wreck?
No

Late conf call and then chill.

A sandwich for breakfast, a wrap for lunch and a train ticket (no self-indulging online shopping yesterday...yoohoo!)

Yes...35 long-stemmed red roses for my 34th birthday (did someone count incorrectly?)

44) Current hate right now?
Gosh, where would you like me to start?

45) Met someone who changed your life?
Yep - there's one person who turns me into a cheerful, sweet and nice person. Something I'm not necessarily all the time... I like myself that way.

46) How did you bring in the New Year?
With friends at a too big and too boring party. Went to bed at 1 a.m. One day I'll go to bed at 11 p.m. on New Years Eve...

47) What song represents you?
I think that changes daily ;-). used to be 'Every me, every you' by Placebo. 'Be still my heart' by Silje Nergaard also works fine for me. Or 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls.

48) Name three people who might complete this?
Surprise me!

49) What were you doing 12 AM last night?
Sleeping

50) What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up this morning?
Usually, it happens the other way around. My brain wakes up first, then my body. That's very nasty when I wake up in the middle of the night, because once the ol' brain gets going, I can't go back to sleep. Therefore...I can't remember.
