1. do you have any tattoos? If so, what and do they have meanings behind them that you are comfortable sharing.

I don't have any tattoos, although I have considered getting one. I give blood a lot, so I feel bad that I wouldn't be able to do that for a year. If I did get a tattoo, I would get the prism from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the moon album. It would probably look weird, but I would probably get it on the outside of my right thigh because I have a huge spot that is numb from an operation I had once, and then I wouldn't feel the pain, LOL!

2. do you have any piercings? aside from the ears.

I'm boring, ears only.


3. Have you ever held a snake? If so, did you enjoy it or were you uncomfortable?

I love snakes. They feel so amaing and soft.

4. What is on your MP3 player right now? (or cd player, whatever fits)

Let's see...cd at work, Pink Floyd, The Wall. In my car I think I have Led Zeppelin, Violent Femmes, and a few others, but I mostly listen to the radio.

5. How many tvs do you have?

How embarrassing...I have 7 I think. 3 are in bedrooms, though. You probably wouldn't believe if I told you that I actually don't watch much TV!

6. What is your all time favorite bought chocolate?

I don't go for chocolate much anymore; however, I love Tim Tams and the dark chocolate Kit Kats my Secret Santas have sent me!


7. Whats your favorite colour, least favorite colour?

I like blue and peachy/coral. I'm not really too much into brown.

8. What's your favorite movie?

You're going to sense a theme here...Boring, probably, but Pink Floyd's The Wall. But I also really like old-time musicals like The Sound of Music. I'm really too antsy to sit down and watch a lot of movies.

9. What's your favorite book?

The Three Musketeers, by Dumas. I read it so much in junior high that my dad hid it from me. I guess he thought I was going to run away to France, LOL.

10. Have you ever been anywhere on an actual holiday/vacation? (not counting any work trips)

Well, in the States, I've been to Yellowstone, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Galveston, TX, Miami FL, Disney World and Disney Land, New York City, Boston, a few places around Wisconsin. I've been on 2 cruises to the Bahamas, and Hawaii (cruised to the equator and visited Kiribati). I've been to Shrewsbury in England and London (on a symphony orchestra trip). Oh, and I've also flown in a light plane from Wyoming through Canada to Alaska to go hunting when I was 16.

1) Hmmm...celebrity of my dreams...I guess that would probably be Viggo Mortensen...and his horse. My daughter is quite beautiful, but she'd certainly think he was too old!

2) The pendant is not somewhere where my daughter knows where it is!

and some more questions.

Please note that some of my questions may border on too personal and you do NOT have to answer anything you feel uncomfortable with sharing

(that's my standard disclaimer LOL)

1. What would your dream vacation be? (a cruise to some exotic island, a trainride across the country, etc.)

2. Do you believe in ghosts?

3. Would you accept $1 000 000 to leave the country and never step foot back in it again?

4. Do you prefer being around men or women? (as in are most of your friends male or female, which do you get along with better)

5. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?

6. Given the choice of anyone in the world (alive or dead), whom would you chose to meet?

1. What would your dream vacation be? (a cruise to some exotic island, a trainride across the country, etc.)

When I've lost some weight, my gift to myself is going to be a horseback riding vacation, but a working one where you round up horses or cattle!

2. Do you believe in ghosts?

I do - although I've never really seen one.

3. Would you accept $1 000 000 to leave the country and never step foot back in it again?

No, I really don't think I could do that. Well, maybe if I was pretty old, and had no family left. I suppose I could take that cruise around the world for a while and not miss the good ol' USA for a while!

4. Do you prefer being around men or women? (as in are most of your friends male or female, which do you get along with better)

I would say usually men. They are a lot less uptight. That said, most of my friends are on TCS, and are women! LOL.

5. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?

That's easy, my bassoon!

6. Given the choice of anyone in the world (alive or dead), whom would you chose to meet?

Probably someone at the center of a huge mystery like Amelia Earhart. I'm very curious about things like that.

Wow... that's quite the variety


1. Which instrument did you pick up first?
2. How old were you when you started to play?
3. Were your parents musically inclined? If not, where or how did you journey into playing?

off to google bassoon because I have no clue what one is.

My mother taught me to play piano at the age of 4. She put tape on the keys of the notes, and wrote the names of the notes in a nursery song book.

2. How old were you when you started to play?

4 for piano, began violin at the age of 9. Taught myself guitar at 12. Bought a flute with my own money between 8th & 9th grade, and taught myself. Got switched to oboe after a couple of months of flute in 9th grade band. Was in a garage band with my guitar, and they recruited me to bass guitar in 8th grade. Taught myself. Majored in music in college - my oboe teacher was literally a marine, so I quit and took up bassoon because the professor was nicer.

3. Were your parents musically inclined? If not, where or how did you journey into playing?

My mother was an amazing piano player. My grandmother was even better. She could play anything, in any key. My dad always said he played the "hi-fi", but he was actually a fairly good singer.

Met my husband in an orchestra. He's a percussionist. My son plays percussion, and my daughter plays violin and is an amazing singer!

off to google bassoon because I have no clue what one is.

LOL! Ha ha! It's the Grandfather in Peter and the Wolf!

Hi Kim. Here are a few for you.The theme is (mostly) desert island, i.e. suppose you were stranded on one... and don't worry about the technology to support your choices, that will be taken care of...

1. What would be your five Desert Island CDs? They don't need to come from your own collection. Why would you choose these particular ones?

2. You might also want some reading material. What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?

3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind?

4. Food might be a challenge. If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose? Why?

5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be? Why?

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?

1. What would be your five Desert Island CDs? They don't need to come from your own collection. Why would you choose these particular ones?

Complete Pink Floyd (of course), Beethoven Symphonies (I could never tire of those), Best of Flatt & Scruggs (to help learn the banjo), Mozart Piano sonatas (reminds me of my mom), The Eagles Greatest Hits (needs no explnanation)

2. You might also want some reading material. What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?

(in no particular order) Moby Dick, Don Quixote, War and Peace, (I've never read these...), The Three Musketeers, The Secret History (Donna Tartt - I LOVE that book)

3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind?

My banjo and bassoon. I would get a lot of practice!

4. Food might be a challenge. If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose? Why?

Boy, that's a hard one. Maybe things to make mexican food because that's so versatile. And lots of tequila, because then I wouldn't care!


5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be? Why?

Ummmmm...I should say my husband? LOL

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?

Pay off the house, pay all my sisters and brothers debts, donate a bunch to the no-kill shelter, buy a HORSE!!!!! or three!

Oh, I like lots of kinds of movies; don't see a lot. Probably "suspense" like the Sixth Sense

2.- Do you collect DVD´s or VHS??,….How many do you have?


Not on purpose. Well, actually I do have every Disney movie ever made, I think.

3.- Wich one is your favourite Actor Male?

I'd probably go see something with Viggo Mortensen or Orlando Bloom.

4.- Wich one is your favourite Actor Female?

Heh, heh, for that one I'd have to pick someone who can act. I dunno - Meryl Streep? Glenn Close?

5.- Have you ever to participated in some Special Event of your favourite artist?

6.- Have you ever to saw in live to some artist? ( I mean is some restaurant, buying at mall or in some resort?)

Not that much. Besides, I ALWAYS have rehearsal on that night...

Viggo Mortensen. I want to ride his horses!

10.- Would you like to live next at some artist (? ( I mean for example your neighboor would be a TV anchor or else?)…
