A = ADVOCATE FOR: The environment, and on a related note, population control. I'm also quite the advocate for TV (obviously)--I'll happily and capably go toe-to-toe with any of those elitist "Oh, I don't watch TV" people who are always dripping with supercilious disdain and an inexplicable superiority complex. Bring it!
B = BEST FEATURE: Oh geez, way to go for the jugular with only the second question... Ummm... I'm a pretty good liar? I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it sure comes in handy.
C = COULDN'T DO WITHOUT: My mother. My tramampoline (intentionally misspelled). TV!!! Lunch on Saturday (ahh, something to look forward to...) :)
D = DREAMS AND DESIRES: Hmmm... As far as actual, attainable dreams and desires are concerned, I'm not I have any... As far as completely implausible, unattainable dreams and desires.... I've always wished I were talented. There's really nothing that I do that's special or unique and there certainly isn't anything I do better than everyone else. I've always wanted to play an instrument or write a novel. Oh, and of course, sing and dance on Broadway (now if only I could sing or dance...)
E = ESSENTIAL ITEM: Well, this kind of goes hand in hand with the "couldn't do without" category, so I'm going to say that a lack of redundancy is an essential item for answering this question in any sort of meaningful way.
F= FAVORITE PAST TIME: Watching TV. Sleeping. Running. Interrogating people with invasive, inappropriate questions... God, I'm sounding more and more pathetic with each passing question.
G = GOOD AT: Not much... We'll go with snark.
H = HAVE NEVER TRIED: Much of anything. I'm not much of a doer... Let's see, something specific... I've uh, never been to medical school.
I = IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS: I'd quit my job. I would so quit my job. And never ever get a new one. I'd never have to wake up early again!!! Saints be praised and hallelujah!
J = JUNKIE FOR: Swedish Fish. DVD maratons. A dilectable combination of the two...
K = KINDRED SPIRIT: I'm not totally sure I have one, but there are certainly a few contenders: Beckee (one and the same, she and I), Annie (without whom my Saturdays would completely suck), and Ann (whose coattails are the smoothest ride in town...)
L = LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I love little furniture. I love those little kids' chairs that are just barely big enough for an adult to fit in. They're just more comfortable... I don't know why...
M = MEMORABLE MOMENT: I'm picking this particular moment because for some reason I've remembered it, clear as day, since I was 5 years old. I was in kindergarten and we were in the library (you know, that big sink hole with the steps for you to sit on?) and we had a guest speaker. He was a judge and he was trying to explain to a bunch of 5-year-olds what it means to be prejudicial. He asked us, "Can you kids tell me some reasons that someone might treat someone else differently? Why they might not treat them equally with others?" Well, I chimed in with, "Gender." He kind of balked and looked at me strangely. I was confused and assumed he thought that that wasn't a good answer. So he said, "Which means?" And then I just thought he was stupid and didn't know. So I said, "It's whether you're male or female." And he balked again. Then I thought he was really stupid. Or that he thought that was a bad definition. He looked at me strangely again and then moved on. I was so irked. I just kept thinking to myself, "Hey! That was a good answer! Don't you look at me in that tone of voice!" It wasn't until much much later (we're talking like, years later when I thought of this incident again) that I realized that he didn't think my answer was bad at all, he probably just didn't expect a 5-year-old to come up with "gender," and was thinking more along the lines of "cooties."
N = NEVER AGAIN WILL I: Send an email without checking the address line a few times (or, depending on the content, 10 or 20 times...)
O = OCCASIONAL INDULGENCE: Boston Creme Pie
Q = QUOTE: Michael: "Peter, you're in deep shit. You were supposed to come in on Saturday. What were you doing?" Peter: "Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be." --Office Space
R = REASON TO SMILE: Puppies. Good stories, fully laden with gossip. Intrigue. Scandal.
S = SORRY ABOUT: Not being a more interesting person. I hate it when people ask me what I did over the weekend and I've got a whole lotta nothing to report.
T = TAG SOME FRIENDS: Beckee and Bree
U = UNINTERESTED IN: Sports (gag...)
V = VERY SCARED OF: Global Warming. Failure. Which means I'm pretty much a constant wreck...
W = WORST HABIT: Procrastination.
X = X MARKS MY IDEAL VACATION SPOT: London
Y = YESTERYEAR DECADE OF CHOICE: I'm not sure what aspect this question is regarding, but I think I'll go with the 1960s. Or the 20s.
Z = ZODIAC SIGN: Virgo

Will you please tell me the e-mail story? Please?
Ah Lace...you crack me up forever and always. Saturday lunches get me through the week as well!! I'm glad we have something to look forward to. I also quite enjoyed your story about the judge trying to teach about prejudice. You've always been smart as a whip. :)
Yep, smart as a whip. I had to look up snark and I still don't get it.
I don't know where you get that you aren't interesting because seriously...your blog is thoroughly entertaining!
