Stolen entry.

I stole this from Lando.

1.Your name spelled backwards:
airdnA

2. Where were your parents born?
Mom – North Carolina Dad - Oklahoma

3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
Besides porn? A Morrissey CD that I burned for a friend.

4. What's your favorite restaurant?
A Mexican place by my office called Casa Pulido. My other favorite an Italian place called Bonello’s, but the owner got a divorce and the bitch wife took the restaurant and sold it just to spite him. Now it’s a Japanese/Italian fusion place. I am too scared to eat there.

5. Last time you swam in a pool?
Um.. about five years, I think. Which is the longest I have ever gone since I was a little kid that I have gone without swimming.

6. Have you ever been in a school play?
Nope.

7. How many kids do you want?
Zero.

8. Type of music do you dislike most?
I don’t dislike any type, although there are bands that make me want to gouge my own eyes out, like The Black Eyed Peas, Good Charlotte, Hilary/Lindsay/Ashlee/Britney, almost any rap song that has the word “crunk” in it, and metal bands that try to look really scary, but really look more comical than anything.

9. Are you registered to vote?
Yes.

10. Do you have cable?
Satellite.

11. Have you ever ridden on a moped?
No.

12. Ever prank call anybody?
Oh, Jesus. My best friend Kay and I used to come home from school and make prank calls til her Mom came home. We harassed the shit out of people like total retards every day. We pretended to be the cable company, collection agencies, teachers, surveyors... and sometimes, we used to call girls we didn’t like and just scream and yell at them til they cried. I am a little bit nicer now. But not much.

13. Ever get a parking ticket?
Yeah.

14. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
I would never say never, but it’s not something I ever really thought of doing.

15. Farthest place you ever traveled?
East Coast… Boston one summer, and North Carolina (god help me) another summer.

16. Do you have a garden?
No. But my neighbor, Anne has one, and she talks to it each and every day. I <3 crazy people.

17. What's your favorite comic strip?
Don’t have one.

18. Do you really know all the words to the national anthem?
Yes.

19. Bath or Shower, morning or night?
Shower usually, in the morning. Sometimes a bath at night is nice.

20. Best movie you've seen in the past month?
The Apple. The cheese factor in this movie is off the charts.

21. Favorite pizza toppings?
Any pizza topping is good for this girl. Except anchovies. Do people really fucking order that? Gross.

22. Chips or popcorn?
Popcorn. With butter and salt.

23. What color lipstick do you usually wear?
I have four MAC lip glosses that I alternate – Spite, Be Seen, Oyster Girl, and Babied.

24. Have you ever smoked peanut shells?
Uh, I don’t even know what the fuck that means. Can someone please tell me? The only things I have smoked are pot, cigarettes, and pole.
25. Have you ever been in a beauty pageant?
Uh… no.

26. Orange Juice or apple?
I like both. Do I really have to choose? Ok. Orange.

Hershey with Almonds.

27. When was the last time you voted at the polls?
November.

28. Last time you ate a homegrown tomato?
This morning.

29. Have you ever won a trophy?
Yes. I played a lot of softball when I was younger, and just so you can be really jealous of me (like you’re not already), I do have a spelling bee trophy from fourth or fifth grade when I came in second in the state spelling bee. This diary is called “yeahimadork” for a reason.

30. Are you a good cook?
I am pretty good, but since I live alone, I don’t do it very often.

31. Do you know how to pump your own gas?
Of course. I am not Paris Hilton, for fuck's sake.

32. Ever order an item from an infomercial?
I have never ordered anything from an informercial, but I have really had to stop myself from doing so on several occasions.

33. Sprite or 7-up?
7-Up.

34. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to work?
Yes. When I worked in daycare for a certain Christian Association for Young Men, I had to wear a uniform.

35. Last thing you bought at a pharmacy?
Dilaudid and condoms. I’m a safety girl.

36. Ever throw up in public?
Once. Me, Kay, and this other girl were driving home from a long weekend of partying our asses off at the other girl’s brother’s house. We were completely hung over and feeling terrible. Kathy (other girl) asked me to pull over on the freeway because she didn’t feel good. She opened the door, and started throwing up. Well, the sound of her throwing up made me sick, so I opened my door and was throwing up as well. Nice sight for all the other drivers. After working about a week in daycare when kids barf all the time, I got over that sensitivity… quickly.

37. Would you prefer being a millionaire or to find true love?
It’s the sappy girly answer, but I really would rather find true love. I work with a millionaire, and he and all his rich friends are the most miserable group of people I have ever met.

38. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Love, no. Lust, hell yes.

39. Ever call a 1-900 number?
No.

40. Can exes be friends?
I don’t think I could be friends with an ex, but I know people who are.

41. Who was the last person you visited in a hospital?
Well, since the last time I was in a hospital I was the patient, I’ll say me.

42. Did you have a lot of hair when you were a baby?
No hair til I was two years old. The little bit of hair I did have was so blonde that you couldn’t see it.

43. What message is on your answering machine?
“Hey it’s Andria. Leave a message and I’ll call you back.”

44. What is in your backpack?
I don’t have a backpack. But I have a purse, that has a cell phone, wallet, lip gloss, digital camera and check book.

45. Favorite thing to do before bedtime?
Have an orgasm... uh, I mean read.

46. What is one thing you are grateful for today?
That my recovery from my surgery in FUCKING NOVEMBER is almost over.

47. What is the first concert you ever went to?
Well… my hippie parents dragged me to a lot of their shit when I was younger – like Rod Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, the Stones, Steely Dan. etc… but I was like a little kid, so I had no idea what I was doing (and I really don’t think my pothead parents knew what they were doing at the time, either, for that matter) or who those bands were. But the first concert I went to that was for me was Rick Springfield. Hell yeah, suckas. Rick Springfield.





Last night I went out to see Mrs. Mitchell and her man for some dinner and movie entertainment.

She has been trying to get me to watch this one movie, The Apple, forever, and for whatever reason, I have not been able to get with her when they go to see it or have a showing at their place. So last night we watched it, and...Ho. Lee. Shit. What an excellent bad movie. Awesome.

We also watched an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 that was pretty damn good as well (Overdrawn at the Memory Bank).

And, speaking of awesomely bad movies, tragedy has befallen my household. I broke (yeah, I am a dumbass, I know this) my Showgirls dvd. One of my stupid cats was between my feet, and I tripped to avoid stepping on her, and stepped on the dvd instead. Dammit. That's my favorite bad movie EVER.

If you buy me a new one, I'll be your best friend.
