It looks tragic, but looks can be deceiving. My friend Misty's AmeriCorps group got to take a first responder course--and apparently, they practiced on each other.

Damn Extreme Makeover!
I thought I banned myself from watching this show. But sure enough, another Sunday rolls around and I'm sitting in bed in front of the TV watching damn Extreme Makeover Home Edition. This week, the family is a dad and three girls. The mom died a few months ago. Bam, tears.
Damn TV.
Damn TV.

Onion Tears
When you're cutting onions, your eyes water. That's just the way it is. But somehow, those first tears break some invisible barrier that has been holding back all your real tears, and out they come one by one.
Things that make me cry:
1. Ice skating.
2. Animals in the shelter.
3. Extreme Makeover Home Edition (I must remember NEVER to watch this).
4. Old AT&T commercials (the one where the mom takes the daughter to college and gives her a phone card and the daughter calls the mom on her cell phone before she gets home and says "Just checking").

Getting to know all about me.
What is your occupation?
Multimedia Project Manager
What color are your underwear?
Today they're pink with black trim.
What are you listening to right now?
Oprah--playing hooky from work.
What was the last thing you ate?
Trader Joe's Tuna filets in Red Penang curry sauce
Do you wish on stars?
Daily. Well, whenever I see the stars in NYC.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
More to the point, what is WRONG with those people at Crayola? They didn't pick ANY of my submissions for the "Name the Colors" contest a few years ago.
How is the weather right now?
Hotter than Hades.
Last person you spoke to on the phone?
My realtor.
Do you like the person who sent this to you?
Yeah, Jodie's pretty okay. ;-)
If you could be anywhere right now where would you be?
Honestly, right now I'm happy sitting on my couch. But lying on the deck of my 200 foot yacht somewhere off the coast of Italy, being oiled down by a man named Sven and sipping a cool beverage wouldn't be too bad either.
Two 70's bands you would die to see?
Um, I am really bad at this stuff. I don't know any names of bands. And I don't really know decades of music either. So ...
Ever skinny dipped?
Not only have I skinny dipped, I'm a founding member of the OBWTDP.
Have you ever smoked?
Nope.
Do you wear contacts or glasses?
I've worn glasses since I was five, but I finally got contacts when I was 17 and now I only wear glasses at night.
Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, or Jessica Alba?
Angelina
Brad Pitt, George Clooney or Johnny Knoxville?
George. I have an autographed picture from him.
Favorite show(s)?
Desperate Housewives, Law & Order, Monk
What was the last movie you watched?
Actually, I'm not sure--I hardly ever watch movies. I was talking about The Princess Bride yesterday, though. That's one of my all time faves. I keep track of some of the movies I've watched on my movie blog.
Favorite day of the year?
My birthday, of course! August 3!
What do you do when you are sad?
I sit around and think about how sad I am, and then usually call somebody to try to get myself out of my funk.
What was your favorite toy as a child?
I mostly played with boxes and sticks. I had a little bunny named Lavendar that was a favorite.
What is your favorite thing to do?
Either salsa dancing or reading.
Morning or late at night?
All good, all the time. I like mornings though.
If there was a song about you what would it be?
There is a song about me, somewhere, half-finished. The chorus goes "How many hearts are breaking tonight? How many loves won't take flight?"
Living arrangements?
Currently with two roommates in a great three bedroom apartment in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan. However, I'm in the process of buying a condo in Norwalk, CT, where I will be very happy to live by myself.
When was the last time you cried?
Today.
What is on the floor of your closet?
Laundry basket, canvas bag, gym bag, plastic drawers full of office materials.
Who is the friend you have had the longest?
Misty Timber--we've now been friends for TWENTY years. But Jodie's right--she's my longest friend in terms of regular communication.
What did you do last night?
Had dinner with my parents at my uncle's house in Long Island, then drove back into the city and gave my other uncle a ride back too.
Who inspires you?
Different people for different reasons. I'm especially inspired by true friendship.
What are you afraid of?
That I won't be able to take care of someone who needs me.
Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers?
Nirvana Vegetable burgers from Trader Joe's. YUM.
Favorite Actor?
I'm totally on the Johnny Depp wagon. I also love Patrick Stewart (O Captain, my Captain).
Favorite Actress?
Uhm. No favorite, I guess.
How many emails did you receive this morning?
27 at work, 5 in Yahoo, and I don't know how many in my personal e-mail because I haven't been able to check it for a week!
How many years at your current job?
Almost one. Hey, that's good for me.
Coffee in the morning?
Yes, when I get to work, we have these machines that make individual cups that aren't half bad.
