Tastes

1. What’s a film you were sure you would dislike but ended up liking?
- Napoleon Dynamite. I actually didn't like it after watching it the first time, and I still think that as a whole movie, beginning to end, it's not that great. But the individual scenes are hilarious!
Napoleon: Do the chickens have large talons?
Farmer: Do they have what?
Napoleon: Large talons.
Farmer: I don't understand a word you just said.

2. What food(s) did you used to dislike but now enjoy?
- Longanisa and tocino

3. What silly fad or craze do you remember immersing yourself in?
- In grade school, it was Slam Books. In high school, it was New Kids on the Block.

4. What was the last thing you regretted purchasing as soon as you got it home?
- I big bag of Chee-tos

5. How would you describe your taste in the opposite sex (or the same sex, if you lean that way)?
-

Shopping

1. From what stores is it impossible for you to emerge empty-handed?
- Target (but I guess that doesn't count b/c I only go there when I have to buy something)
- Pet supply stores (same principal as Target)
- Beauty supply stores (like Sephora and Ulta)

2. Where do you go when you need to spend a little bit of make-me-feel-better money?
- Nordstrom

3. What store you did you used to frequent but no longer find appealing?
- Express

4. If you opened your own retail store (not a food-service establishment), what would be its theme, name, and target clientele?
- I've always loved walking into the first floor of Nordstrom stores--the shoes, the handbags, the jewelry and the costmetics--so, although this isn't an orignal idea, that's what I'd model my own retail store after.

5. If you had to purchase all your friends’ gifts at one store for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
- Barnes & Noble

4. Can you open your eyes under water? Do you plug your nose before going under? Do you even go under?

Wow, haven't found a good Friday Five in a while. This one's just okay.

"Just in Time"

1. How long does it take you to get ready in the mornings for whatever you have to do on a typical day?

2. If you had to retrieve your birth certificate right now, how long would it take before you had it in hand?
- I think my mom has a copy, so it would probably take less than a day.

4. How long has it been since your last visit to the dentist?
- 3 months. I go every six months without fail.

5. How long is your usual get-ready-for-bed routine?
- 15 minutes
