Where do you eat out and what do you order?

I don't usually get to eat out anymore, but when I did, I go to Denny's and get the french toast slam.  Or I go to Johnny Rocket's and get...well, all their food's good.  Or Damon's, Fresno's, Ruby Tuesday, Texas Roadhouse, or anywhere else for that matter, for barbecue ribs...I LOVE BARBECUE RIBS!!!

What do you think about movies and why?

I like movies.  I don't go to the movies as much as used to, since I don't really have the money to blowing $40 in 2 hours (unless I'm shopping).  I just wait for them to come out on DVD...then I get them from Blockbuster Online.  That way I can sit on my comfy couch, and enjoy.  And if I want something to eat, I can pause it...something you can't do at the theater.

Tell about any of your family traditions for birthdays.

I can't think of any from my family...there really wasn't any traditional thing about it.  What we do now is different...the first birthday, they get to go nuts with the cake.  Bum did that with her ice cream cake.  Other than that, I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Did you have a favorite subject in school?  One you dreaded?

I didn't really have a favorite...I actually liked school.  I know what you're thinking...GEEK!  I was an honor student, so sue me.  I did have a favorite teacher though.  He was Mr. DeFreitas, and he was awesome...I guess you can say I was teacher's pet in that class.  It was my sophomore year, and the first half of the year, I missed about 50 days (that's another story altogether).  Mr. D. (as everyone knew him) was my biology teacher, and I used to sit at his desk, take roll for him, and not do a damn thing while in class.  And he passed me (barely, but who's counting?).  When my 16th birthday came around, he had everyone in all of his classes sign a card for me.  When my 17th birthday came, he bought me tickets to the Meatloaf concert the day before.  How cool is that???

As far as a class I dreaded, it was Honors Pre-Calculus.  I swear the teacher, Mrs. Coleman (God rest her soul), had it out for me...a couple years prior, I had dropped her Honors Geometry class, and I think she remembered that.  I was a senior in a class that was mostly compiled of sophomores and juniors...I felt out of place.  So towards the end of the year, I would always be skipping that class.  I actually passed anyway...how, I have no idea.

Did your parents ever have a baby-sitter for you?  Were you ever left in someone else's care.

As far back as I can remember, my oldest sister used to always be with me.  Every once in a while, my neighbor would be my babysitter, but that rarely happened.  Then my mom wasn't working (she got hurt at work), so I didn't need a babysitter.  When I was around 13, my mom was in and out of the hospital, so I was either left at home by myself, or I would stay with my sis at her house.  That's my answer, and I'm sticking to it. =)

What are your beauty secrets?

Honestly, I have no secrets...in fact, I wish I knew some.  Maybe I'll have to read some of the other entries to find out some...lol.

What political party comes closest to representing your own view?  How do you feel about politics?

The short version of this answer is easy--politics suck.  Long version...I am definitely democratic--you know, the ones who go for the working class.  I hate politics, since from what I see, it's all a popularity contest to see who can smear the other candidate more.  And they spend our money doing so.

What is your favorite animal and why?

I would have to say cats.  I mean I have a dog and an iguana too, but I love my cat.  He's sooo cute.  Here's a pic of him...

From what the vet says, he's unlucky...he's black, and has 13 toes!!!!
