it begins

Did anyone catch the pilot episode of Dawson’s Creek tonight? Ahhh, so many good memories came back. The pilot is definitely one of my most favorite episodes — I can’t wait for the DVDs! There were so many awesome quotes —

“Did you notice the long fingers?”

“I like your hair color — what number is that?”

“I reject reality.” (This is my favorite scene in the entire episode — Dawson/Jen rock!)

“You did it again — you grabbed me ass.” “Like you even have one.”

“Please, years ago. To a trucker named Bubba.”

Fun stuff — what happened to those snarky characters?!? Dawson, Jen, Pacey and Joey just seemed more genuine and real back then. *sigh*

Ok, some more answers to your questions…

What would you rather be? Deaf or blind? Why?
I would rather be deaf. With the power of sight, I don’t think I would feel as detached from everything. I would be able to see the people I love and communicate with them through written word. I would be able to watch TV with the subtitles on. And I would be able to read books, which is something that I love to do.

Were you in any clubs or on any sports teams in high school? if so, what team(s)/club(s)?
I didn’t play any sports, ie. soccer, basketball. But I was on the dance team as a freshman and for the last three years of HS, I was on the pep squad as a Songleader. My other major extracurricular activity was the filipino club — I was heavily involved as a junior and as a senior when I took the office of Dance Troupe Coordinator. We held an annual show featuring skits and cultural dances and I was responsible for putting it together. Both these activities are some of my most favorite memories from high school. Look at me, I’m getting all nostalgic!

What do you think of this war?
To be quite honest, I’m not the most informed citizen. I don’t watch the news as often as I should and even then, the news broadcasts I do watch tend to focus more on local news rather than national or foreign news. I guess I function in my own little bubble — which I’m not proud to admit. I *should* know what’s going on and I don’t — it’s only now that the war has actually started that I’ve been scouring the net for articles and stories. Anyway, to answer the question — I really don’t know what to think. I’m not anti-war but I’m not pro-war either. I understand the motive behind it but I don’t understand why there can’t be another resolution. One that won’t leave me feeling depressed after watching the news or after seeing the pained face of my boss whose husband just got activated. It’s pretty terrifying.

These questions are definitely keeping me on my toes! More questions — more! 🙂

What’s your favorite cereal?
If you’re talking about sweet, sugar-y cereal, then it’s Corn Pops. Mmm. Or sometimes Apple Jacks. It depends on my mood. But if you mean boring, healthy cereal, then it would have to be Special K with red berries. You know, I don’t know anyone else who likes the red berries — everyone seems to think they’re disgusting. heh.

What is your all time favourite song?
I knew someone would ask something like this! 😉 It would definitely have to be Etta James’s “At Last.” It’s a timeless song that I will never ever get sick of hearing.

If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?\
I thought about this question for awhile — and while I was tempted to pick an academic or a politician, I just really want to meet Janet Jackson. I used to think I would make professional dancing a career and she was my idol. I get so completely taken in when I watch her perform. Just a few years ago, I would have delusions of quitting school and training to be her back-up dancer! lol. Oh geez, I really wanted the opportunity to work with her.

There’s one more question I have to answer but I’m saving that for a post to itself…

Thanks to Jill and Tams for the questions! Anyone can definitely keep asking me if you like, just post in the commentor, anonymously or not. 🙂

the answers to your questions!

Soooo glad it’s the weekend — work’s been rough. *sigh* I desperately need the break.

Anywaaaayyy — some Answers! To your questions!

What’s your favourite movie and why?
My most favorite movie(s) ever are the Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea series. I read the books when I was younger and the story just captured me. I adore all the characters — Anne, Gil, Diana, Matthew, Marilla — and the movies highlight everything I love about them. It’s one of the few times when the movies met all my expectations.

Do you think it was wise of cinderella’s fairy godmother to give her glass slippers… I mean what if she slipped and broke em, then her feet would’ve gotten all cut up???
Well gee, I never really thought about it that way — with fairy tales, you just expect to suspend all belief anyway. But for all practical purposes, I suppose Cinderella’s fairy godmother wasn’t exactly using her head when she gave her glass slippers. I mean, who does that?!?

What’s your favorite noise that you wouldn’t mind hearing every day?
I don’t have a favorite noise, actually. I’m not big on noises that go on repeatedly without end — I mean, how aggravating! I do like to have the TV or radio on as background noise when I’m doing something, be it on the computer or doing household chores.

Thanks to Alie, Bobby, Tracy for the questions — there are more but I just got really sleepy. *yawn* I’ll finish them tomorrow. 🙂

ask me a question

Ok. So I officially have nothing to blog about.

I’m going to leave it up to you guys! Ask me questions. It’s your one in a lifetime chance to find out anything you want to know about me (self-absorbed much? lol)! I’ll answer anything. Really. So post away in the commenter! Fun fun.

Thanks to Angie for the idea. 🙂
