I'm going to be laughing over your answer to the disney villain for the rest of the afternoon :)

ROFLMAO at Michael Eisner.
Loved the Star Wars auditions.

I adore your answers to #1 and #10. You have great taste in houses. I like the way your mind works.

Heh heh, I'd love to visit Get Out of My Stash and arm wrestle you for some wool. You'd actually probably do pretty well - people would have to be creative in finagling yarn from you :-) Knitters love a challenge.

Neat :) I'd love to visit Get Out of My Stash, too :)

Love #10!
Give me a couple days and I'll have a good retort.....

#1 YES (which is why my pre-lim orals were so terrifying to me)
#4 YES (including commenting on blog posts.)
#8 YES (and an average by the way)
#9, #10. but of course (except when working/living in the rain..then I'm not real fond of it)
Stay out of my stash? Perfect.

Ha! I know your dream pet. But, I won't say anything because I know Hez is sensitive. ;)

Lol I like both of your dream houses. Had coffee
in the second. It was foggy outside and it was
a wonderful place. You know my German is from Ulm, right!? God I love that place. If either of us win the lottery,....ok? Let's make a pact now. First one to buy a castle has quarters for the other. And lots of yarn, spinning wheels, a
ginormous library, fabric, beads..... Need I go on? What cha readin' these days?
