The tongue was only "used" in the sense that I would take it out and point it at people who annoyed me. Never used it for the purpose for which it was intended. It was just too ridiculous looking. Come to think of it (pun intended?) I do have one adult toy, but that's not what its manufacturer had in mind, I'm sure.

Oh, and I don't always recycle. Sometimes I just throw out that plastic container with the rotting Chinese food.

Why, pamelabeth, thanks for asking about me!
I've missed sending in my answers on Thursdays. Been a lil' preoccupied with real life stuff. Happy to be back!

1. What do you 100-percent deserve?
To be loved back with as much passion and attention as I give others. That, and really good backrub.

2. Are there any occupations that you feel women should not be in? That men should not be in?
Women should not be on the frontline of a war.

3. What bores you to tears?
The suburbs.

4. Which singer(s) voice do you find amazing?
Bob Marley. Whitney, pre-Bobby and pre-crack. Christina Aguilera. Bobby McFarrin.

No. Too scared I'd hurt someone.

A t-shirt from 9th grade.

7. What is the biggest threat to your personal happiness?
I'm kinda controlling and impatient.

I'm loyal, funny and generous.

10. What have you done that you are not proud of?
I stole a greeting card from the drug store a few weeks ago. The line was really long and they only had one register working. The cashier was slow as molasses and I was in a rush. I just walked out of Duane Reade holding the card. I think the security guard may have even wished me a nice day.

Bonus Question~

No, but I want to get the rabbit-thingie I've heard a few women talk about.
