Going to see Austin Powers in Goldmember (:P Amy) in a few but I thought I would do the Friday Five first —

How long have you had a weblog? Since January 2002 — when I got my domain. For the first month, I blogged manually because I couldn’t figure out how in the heck to use Blogger.
What was your first post about? Something about hoping my domain finally worked. lol. Really lame, like “Oh my gosh! I hope this works! Please work!” heh.
How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? I don’t have a name for my blog — just never really occurred to me to have one. ::shrugs:: And the blog has always been accessible on what I call the “main” portion of my site — the page after the splash that holds the navigation to the different sections.
What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else? I use Greymatter, which is amazing. I actually tried to use Blogger first but for some reason, I am too stupid to use it. My entries would never show up. Humph. But I’m glad I installed Greymatter instead because it really is much better to have everything located on my domain.
Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? The people I know really only have weblogs. Besides, sometimes I think that by reading people’s random thoughts and comments that you can learn a lot more about them than by reading something that they’ve intentionally written to be deep and meaningful.

Hmm… I have absolutely nothing to blog about so I stole — uh, *borrowed* this mini-survey from Christie.

Pick a celebrity that you’d…

…like to look like. Kristin Kreuk — just look at her!
…like to date. Joshua Jackson — ::swoons::
…like to be friends with. Michelle Williams
…like to have as your personal fashion consultant. Nicole Kidman — she’s like the epitome of style
…like to drink a beer with. Michael Rosenbaum — he just seems like such a happy-go-lucky kind of guy 😛
…like to act in a movie with. Ewan MacGregor — just *cause.*
…like to hang out with (doing what?). Katie Holmes — going shopping, of course!
Fun fun. 😀

Fun stuff — I got this test from Nicola. Take it and see how well you know me. 😛

How Well Do You Know Kel?

hee — that rhymes! I’m such a geek. ::shakes head::

Time for the Friday Five!

If you could eat dinner with and “get to know” one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Janet Jackson or Julia Roberts

Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? The death of Princess Diana didn’t affect me personally but it did make me *feel* — and that emotion allowed me to feel connected to all those knew and loved her. I was also in shock regarding the circumstances of her death — drunk drivers, crazy papparazzi. ::shakes head::

If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose? Kristin Kreuk or Katie Holmes – it would be cool to get to work with cute guys like Michael Rosenbaum and Josh Jackson. hee.

Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? Nope.

Have you ever met anyone famous? I used to work at a news radio station so sometimes the radio personalities would have really cool guests — I got to shake hands with former President Jimmy Carter, Andre Agassi and Dave Chapelle. Also, when I was 15, I was flying from LA to San Francisco and Alicia Silverstone was on my flight. I didn’t go up to her though because she was surrounded by drooling guys the entire time.

Well, I figure that it’s never too late to do the Friday Five… so here goes.

What’s your favorite animal? Dogs (little ones), specifically lhasa apsos. They’re so adorable.

What pets have you had in your lifetime? I’ve only had one dog that my aunt gave me for my 9th birthday. It was a lhasa apso and I named him Tramp, after the dog in the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp. But I called him Wampy. I miss him. ::sniff::

Is there any specific pet that you’ve wanted but never had? Why? Nope. My dog was the only pet I ever wanted.

Are you allergic to any animals? I think I’m allergic to cats. In college, my roommate had a cat and occasionally, when it would sleep on my bed or cuddle with me, I would get really itchy. It didn’t happen all the time though.

Do you have any ‘pet’ pet peeves (your pets or others’)? I hate when pets leave bits and pieces of their food all over the place. Ugh.

Another Friday, another Friday Five…

What makes you homesick? When I talk to my cousins or friends and they just go on and on about what I’ve missed — I always feel so bad for not being there for all those moments, big or small.

Where is “home” for you? Is it where you are living now, or somewhere else? I live in the Bay Area (CA) right now — I kind of just settled here after finishing college at UC Berkeley. But what I call “home home” is where my dad lives in sunny Southern California.

What makes it home for you? People? Things? A little bit of both. Going back to Southern CA is great cause it really *feels* like home when I’m with my family. At the same time, though, I get really sentimental looking at trinkets and things that remind me of home or a specific time in my life.

Where is the furthest you’ve been from home? 6979 miles — that’s the distance from here to the Philippines. Ive also been to Europe and other parts of Asia, but I *think* the Philippines is the farthest. ::shrugs::

What are your plans for this weekend? Nothing! I’m just going to enjoy the fact that I am no longer going to have a 6-day work week now that I’ve quit my part-time job at Abercrombie and Fitch.
