TMZ...why do their lives fascinate me so? 2) Food that?s too weird to eat That's a tough one.

| pamelabeth | Posted – 7/27/2007 12:14:44 PM | show profile | email poster 1) Guilty pleasure?Web site no one knows you visit all too often... not recently, but 2 summers ago, when they first got together, i was addicted to a website called "freekatie," dedicated to the hope of liberating katie holmes from tom cruise. i even considered a "free katie" t-shirt. why did i bother to be so bothered? if i had a shrink, that could be a topic of discussion i guess. but i've let it go; she drank the kool aid; there's nothing we can do but wait for the eventual catastrophe. 2) Food that?s too weird to eat i don't eat meat; but when i did, i remember that cow tongue seemed way too "ucccchhhh" to contemplate. 3) Person you should have thanked but never did? i do try to thank people for their help--but sometimes it seems like any amount of "thank you" is not really sufficient. 4) Person you should forgive, but never have? i struggle with this: is it wise to forgive people who have never acknowleged that they have done wrong? if people *know* they screwed up, but they won't say it, and they won't ask forgiveness, is it best to forgive them anyway? but then--there are others who don't know better; don't realize that they did damage; and i have trouble forgiving them either.... 5) Experienced paranormal activity? i think yes. 6) Favorite literary reference? dorothy parker had something wise to say about just about anything. 7) Most annoying thing on TV (besides ?Head On? commercial) beyond conservative "news"--carson daily gets on my nerves. 8) Thing you would miss most if you had to give up? thing, right? not activity or person or animal? i am addicted to email. 9) I have a stupid crush on? i have all kinds of crushes. the stupidest one is probably on my gay-male neighbor. but then, is any crush really stupid? all such things, love, marriage, are irrational; but not stupid. 10) Best music act most people have never heard of i like a band called "hem"--check them out. |
