Audrey Hepburn is my inspiration (followed by Grace Kelly). Even though I am not remotely graceful, I speak too quickly, and have never, never, never looked even as close to elegant as she did in any and everything she wore, I always hold out hope.
I also am fond of the Amaretto Sour…and also the Tom Collins.
Me, too, for Sherlock Holmes. Have you seen Without a Clue ?
And I also almost flunked calculus in college. And I never understood why I even had to take calculus, considering I was a French major and a History minor.
But, alas, we do not wear the same shoe size.
Re: #10. I think we're the opposite.
7. Me too.
17. I would have gone to M.I.T.
19. Ditto.
22. As well.
24. Never watched a full episode of "Friends."
27.I haven't had a winter coat for...well, its been a long time.
30. I didn't, but I bet I have spent very close to the same amount of time in the museums as you.
33. Is my Dad your Dad?
40. I just love the thunderstorms. I have had a lightning strike within 75 feet of me.
42. I can't eat ice cream.
45. I am 50% half smoke.
47. I'm sorry.
50. What are you waiting for?
51. I have the coolest friend, Shane.
rr - It's a good thing that we don't have the same show size. It makes my life hell sometimes.
lem - So you want to be pregnant? Like, you'd enjoy it? I mean, I shouldn't make fun - my mom said that she absolutely loved being pregnant, so who am I to judge?
mush - re: #50 - Soon. Soon. :)
shane - It's true. You definitely are the coolest.
