Well, I WAS going to comment and say you would be a fantastic space doctor, but now I am going to comment and say that I find my friends to be largely sane! Just..... zesty.

2: But never a nun?
5: The other night at an Italian place I had the most amazing brussels sprouts that had been roasted with bits of panchetta and a little bit of bread crumbs. Deeee-lish! But I only really like them roasted or pan fried.
7: Aries is the sign I know almost no one--that and cancer. I only note signs really in the way that they tend to cluster among my friends, as I have TONS of pisces and taurus friends, and always seem to live with gemini.
14: Sorry, I totally just pasted that from Alison. Instead please: HOW AWESOME IS RYAN SEACREST?
31: I love thinking of it as MAD, brilliant!

14 I forgot to change when I got this off my co-host Alison, so:

HOW AWESOME IS RYAN SEACREST?

It's sort of a warning, as things will get very Idol around here very soon. But welcome, and thanks for letting me link your lj name to you!

21: Z and I are going to have to meet in the middle and invade your turf. I shall start plotting.
31: Those people don't mean it. I remember Tiffani from Top Chef would say it every time someone criticized her and thinking, yeah, she thinks they're full of shit, whatever.

I love how you managed to give non answers to most of these questions. That's so you. ^_^

Awesome!

Ryan is VERY AWESOME!

And yeah. I'm trying to maintain that perfect sphere of water suspended in mid-air thing.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

I love your Zuko answer. I forgot to change the question when I got this off Alison, so: HOW AWESOME IS RYAN SEACREST?

Also, I love your answer to the clown question.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

14 I forgot to change when I got this off Alison (she's talking about a character from Avatar the Last Airbender), so: HOW AWESOME IS RYAN SEACREST? Which you probably also won't really want to answer, actually. Hmm.

I will accept avocado as a vegetable, as it is usually eaten in a savory context. I mean, I know that people make avocado ice cream but that doesn't mean I want to eat it. But I think the biological distinctions are sort of ridiculous to use in everyday life, with the whole tomatoes are really fruits and rhubarb is a vegetable thing. We already know what we mean, so no thanks, pedants!

I also rent, but I've been in very few apts that won't allow cats. Dogs sometimes but never cats.

For the record, I would take you to the original Amatos (http://www.amatos.com/) on India street in Portland and get you a regular Italian sandwich. Lobsters are for tourists. However, if you ask nicely we might go down to the Old Port to J's Oyster Bar and get some steamers and garlic bread.

I love me some dead cow.

I don't really remember why! Another time at Sea World, a walrus practically swallowed my arm. You could buy clams and stuff to feed the walruses, and it somehow got my arm into its gullet. I remember my red coat being covered with clam residue.

It is a blessing to have good co-workers. It can seriously make or break whether a job environment is tolerable.

RYAN SEACREST IS THE AWESOMEST!!!! ♥
