Borrowed from B

5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time? 9:01 AM

6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? shuffling papers in the next room; footsteps; "Plush" by STP on the classic alternative radio station, making me feel old again.

11. When did you last laugh? Last night with Rusty watching American Idol

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in? A hideous painting of a vase of flowers sitting off-center on a silver tray on a table (and for whatever reason, leaves and petals [which don't even match the flowers in the vase] have fallen off and are lying on the table) with 3 different fugly pillows that appear to be floating in air in the background and something else which I suppose are velvet curtains that have a scraggly-looking fringe hanging down even further in the background. You know, I never really paid attention to that painting before, but a monkey could have painted something more artistically pleasing than that. There is also a calendar, a bulletin board, and a clock.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt and politics, what would you do? I would cure diseases that have no cure right now, like cancer and AIDS. I would also make sure that wealth was more evenly distributed, because it pisses me off that some people have no home or food while others can buy a $10,000 handbag.

24. What would you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates? Free booze for all!
