Left handed? Right handed? Right!

If money was no object, what one thing would you do? Go on a DVD shopping spree and sit in front of my TV on my lazy butt and watch all the movies I've ever wanted to watch until my brain turned to mush. (*wink* to all those in the know)

Have any hobbies? Movies, primarily

What's the most exciting thing you've ever done? Meeting Al for the first time after his RWS show backstage in San Diego. Also, visiting Rome, Italy after graduating High School.

Do you have any special interests or hidden talents? They're so well-hidden, I haven't found them yet! Seriously though, I've always been keen on films and writing, so I'm thinking I may try to start writing screenplays again. I wrote one in college that I thought was only so-so, but have been thinking about starting up again.

It's really cool to see how many people like the same stuff as me. I'm reading everybodys answers and going "Yeah! Me too!" Great idea squirrelygirl!

...The Gong Show...

Heh. The Gong Show. I know a guy who was gonged but they didn't play his tape on TV because he insulted Jamie Farr. He did a dramatic reading of Shel Silverstein's poem Sarah Cynthyia Silvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out. Farr gonged him, so he said "May a diseased yak sit on your face." Yep. My dad everybody. Sigh.

That's cool! It's nice to (sorta-kinda) know someone who's dad insulted Jamie Farr. Good choice of poems, though!
