Thanks Ash... It's an honour! And thank God I'm on a leave from work, now I will actually have time to answer any and all questions!

1~What is your favorite color?

Red... but these days it seems a lot of pink has been integrated into my wardrobe somehow.

2~How did you choose your kitkats names?

Mik (Mikhail) I named after my favourite Russian author, Mikhail Bulgakov, who wrote an interesting tale called "The Master and Margarita". Aleksei (Lex) was decided on simply because I liked the name, and wanted to stick with the Russian theme.

3~What is your favorite way to relax?

Great question, Ash. Well, this city certainly isn't too relaxing... but I do love to get out on my scooter, go for walks on a nearby trail, and just enjoy chilling out with my meowies, reading, and stirring up trouble on TCS.

4~Are you ready for a week of questions?

Bring 'em on! Though I'm sure Ryan will find some interesting ways to torment me over the next week.

No digital camera yet... but as of now it's apparently in the works. I know you all want to see more of the meowies, so I'll do my best to get one very soon.

Hi Jenn!

Congratulations. What is your favourite food?

Hi, and thanks Fran! Oh boy... a tiny assignment eh? I've heard that before and it sounds daunting!

1. Please show a pic of your babies

Here's my baby meowies!

Here's another baby!


2. Please show a pic of your self
Here goes... I'm sure Ash would agree I still look like a westerner.


3. Tell us the what is the worst taste on this planet?
I can't stand the herb cilantro... it nearly makes me hurl when I discover it in foods at restaurants ... but then again, I like food that's been processed to death and has little nutritional value, so that speaks for itself.

4. Do you like wallpaper?
I like wallpaper for the computer and in other people's houses (if it's done tastefully)... but that's the extent of it.

I will be back for more!
I'll be waiting!

aww yay!
You did my assignment!!!

Your kitties are beautiful! and so are you!
Now i will have to come up with some questions!


SInce you dont have a digital camera, Do you by any chance have a pic of your garden laying around??

Thanks Elizabeth! Big brain, eh? Now I really have a lot to live up to, especially having that statement come from YOU, miss smarty pants!

When did you get super interested in Philosophy?

Well, I would say it was when I was in my first year of college, and had all these amazing books at my disposal, so I started with a number of beginner books, studied existentialism and classics on my own, took a couple of classes, learned a few religions from scholars along the way, and now read a lot of philosophy and religion, as often the two are intertwined... for FUN (I know, I'm insane! )!


Do you like science or art better?

Art (but I like social sciences). Simply because I studied art through high school... and originally wanted to go to art school. But since I've lived on my own from such a young age, I had to get practical, so being in libraries spoke to me... although the library didn't ACTUALLY speak TO me.

What is your most favorite city or place in the entire world?

The Rockies... Canadian or American. I found I was at my most spiritual, most reflective and healthiest physically, emotionally and psychologically when I lived there. I haven't been overseas, but should I choose any place on earth to visit... it would be Israel, when times are less turbulent and more predictable (though it hasn't been the case since 2000).

If you could have 7 people from any time in history at your dinner table, who would they be and why?

E, that's SO tough! Although I'm not one to play the rules and would likely choose more, I'll pick 7 just for you...

-Moses (the prophet who led the exodus from Egypt to the promised land and who God gave the commandments)
-Esther (one of the few female prophets and a strong and shrewd woman who chose her faith)
-Martin Luther (a revolutionary leader in European Christian history)
-Karl Marx (a revolutionary/writer/politician of the Communist movement)
-Simone de Beauvoir (a philospher/writer and feminist who didn't receive full recognition of her own)
-Menachem Mendel Schneerson (a 20th century rabbi who promoted peace among all people - not unlike the Pope)
-My dad, Manfred or "Fred" (who died in 1989, and to this day I am my father's daughter through and through)

Of course, I could easily include another 7. Great questions, thanks Elizabeth!

Thanks Susan! And thanks for the pic of Rosie!

Do you easily get annoyed?

Oh yeah. I think you've seen me in action on the IMO forum, which I should never have been given access to (mods? ). I'm also stubborn as hell when I have a firm opinion... that's the Aries in me.

Are you and early bird on a weekend or do you lie in until late?

Well, naturally I'm a night owl, so I usually get up late too. Though it was different when I was working regularly (I'm on a leave partially to get my sleeping habits in order).

If you go out for a night with friends what sort of night is it?

I'm known as the party girl at the office (though office parties usually include unlimited free booze, hence the rep!), but that is only at the office. With my friends, I like to just chill out at a pub or talk over coffee, hang out at someone's place with a movie, and go out once in a blue moon to a club (just because I love to dance ).

Hi gorgeous Rosie!

Hee hee. And it's SO true, Ash.

Awww, thanks Fran! You're TOO kind.

I managed to find this pic online... it is of the apartment building almost directly across the street from me, so you can get the general idea of where I live. Of course, right now the trees are still bare and the grass is still brownish...

Congratulations Jenn!
Oooh, you said you loved to dance! So, what's your favorite? Ballroom, disco, rock, latin, ballet, etc.?

Awesome!

I can't believe your spotlight is over already Ashley, but great choice on this week's member! We'll start with some easy questions.

1. Do you like to shoot pool/billiards?

2. How would you describe your use of things like shampoo and hairspray?

a) I use half of the bottle. Then I start another one.
b) I use the whole bottle until it runs out. Then I buy some in the next day or two or borrow some from a friend.
c) I use the whole bottle until it runs out, but I have a new one ready to go when that happens.

(Okay, so much for the easy questions )

3. What color is the underwear you have on as you're reading this?

4. You've offered to let a friend take your Vespa for a lengthy joyride. Later that day your friend comes back and thanks you. As your friend leaves, you notice a scratch on the tank that absolutely was not there. The friend had said nothing about it. How do you react?

a) I say "halt!" and demand to know how the scratch got there.
b) I politely ask the friend to come over to the Vespa for a moment and begin to talk about the scratch to see what the friend says.
c) I grab the not-so-friend by the hair and drag him/her over to the Vespa forcing the jerk into a butterfly kiss with the scratch. Then I ask if the jerk sees anything.
d) I don't say anything to the friend, but I never call the friend again.
e) I bring the scratch up the next time the friend calls.
f) I don't worry about the scratch and don't mention it to the friend.
g) I don't worry about the scratch, but I mention it to the friend anyway.

5. How did you feel when the friend was walking away and was not going to tell you about the scratch?

a) I think the friend might not have noticed, so it doesn't matter.
b) I think the friend might not have noticed, and that makes me mad.
c) I think the friend was trying to get away with it, but it doesn't bother me much because it's just a scratch.
d) I think the friend was trying to get away with it and it makes me angry that the friend was not going to tell me.

6. Do you know what a butterfly kiss is?

7. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you weren't physically attracted to?

8. Have you ever wanted to take revenge for any personal wrongdoings towards you? Did you succeed? What happened?

9. You're in a restaurant with a girlfriend. You came to this restaurant in particular becuase you were in the mood to order dessert after the meal. Your friend passes on dessert, but when yours comes, suddenly, (it's always suddenly in these questions) your friend asks you to split the dessert in half with her. You had an exceptionally light meal and really wanted the whole dessert. What do you do?

a) I'm glad that my friend wants to try. I know she will like it. "Waiter... extra fork for my friend please?"
b) I'm a little annoyed. NOW she wants dessert? I tell her she can have some, but not half.
c) I'm a little annoyed, but I give her half and try to act natural.
d) I laugh and say, "No way Jose!"
e) I get haughty and say, "Fine!!! Have the whole darn thing why don't you!?"
f) I pretend that I am full and insist that she has the whole dessert.
g) I catch the waiter and ask for an identical dessert for my friend.
h) I start crying.
