Hi Susie!!

1. Do you have any reoccuring dreams you can tell us about? I actually can't recall ever having a reoccuring dream! So, since I'm boring on that front I'll tell you about my brother's night terrors lol. When my brother was about 5 he would get the same night terror every night. He dreamt that there was a brick wall that my mother was standing in front of and that my brother and grandmother were standing further away. Each time in the dream the wall would start to collapse on my mother and my brother would be screaming and trying to run to her to help. He kept having this dream for quite a while and it scared the daylights out of him (I wasn't born at the time, but this is how it was told to me lol)!

2. If you could eat a cup of worms for $50,000 would you do it? Honestly, no. The main reason is because I know that I would get disqualified from receiving the money even if I tried to eat them. Knowing my gag reflex and stomach I know for a fact that I would throw it up before I could even begin, so it just wouldn't be worth it!!

3. How often do you clean your fridge? Not nearly as often as I should. When I take the pic of the inside of my fridge tomorrow (as requested by Beth I believe) you'll see that it's in desparate need of a cleaning! It only gets a real scrub down every few months, though I dispose of old food periodically between cleanings!

Thanks for the questions!!

How many books do you own? Please separate fiction from non-fiction.

Well since I'm at my parents I've gone ahead and made a count of the adult books I have here (since counting TOTAL books would include a gazillion children's books lol) and will finish the total tonight when I get back to my apartment! I'll give you the totals and how many of each kind along with the pics I provide for your photo assignment tomorrow!

Who is your favourite author? I would have to say Nicholas Sparks. I haven't read a book by him that hasn't run me through the wringer of emotions!!!

Do you have a favourite genre? I'd say I have a few favorite genres. I enjoy thrillers, comedies, romantic stories (though not the cheesy "quivering member" types

), and any non-fiction book on a topic I'm interested in. I enjoy reading all sorts of things.

What is the largest sum of money you have spent on a book? Excluding textbooks.

Good thing you included the exclusion of textbooks since that's obviously the most RIDICULOUS amount spent on any book!

That's actually a tough question though. Most of the books I buy are $25 and under, and many are given to me as hand-me-downs. My guess would be about $35 (I'm poor!)

Do you feel computers will ever replace books entirely? I think it may happen in the far off future. I had heard that Google wanted to start putting whole libraries in their search engine or something along those lines. I sincerely hope it won't, since I think that computers are too cold to carry the pleasure that reading an actual book brings. You can't curl up with your computer in bed right before you fall asleep!!

Do you own any books on feminist theory? I don't actually. My mom was my source of information on that topic!

Favourite bookstore? There aren't too many cute little bookshops around, so I shop at Barnes & Noble the majority of the time. I enjoyed Malaprops when I was in Asheville, NC though!

Do you subscribe to any magazines? Just American Fitness, and that's only because it comes with being an AFAA member. I don't subscribe to anything like Cosmo anymore because I learned when I was a teen that those mags tend to repeat stories in a slightly different way over and over again. So, if I really want some mindless girly reading I pick an InStyle or US Weekly up at the grocery checkout!

Read a daily newspaper? When I'm in school I read the school paper each time it comes out (biweekly), but no daily paper. Students can get a copy of the Orlando Sentinel free daily, but most of the time I don't pick it up. The stories that are important to me that would be in the Orlando Sentinel are also included in one way or another in the Central Florida Future (school paper).

Does Waffle drape herself over anything you read?

Oh of course she does!! Heaven forbid she actually allow me to do any reading unhindered!

And a photo assignment for when you get Brandon's cam... Please take a photo of your bookcases/library.

You got it! Look for it Wednesday!

Thanks Katherine and enjoy your spotlight!

I'll be back... LOL

1) If you were given lots of money to buy just clothes what would you buy?

Oooooooooh fun. I often dream taht someone would hand me a few thousand dollars for no particular reason so I can go and buy a whole new wardrobe!

I would buy tons of skirts (I have a ridiculous amount of skirts, I love them) to start with. At least a few pairs of really nice jeans as well and probably a couple of pairs of shorts. I LOOOOOVE bathing suits so I'd want a few new ones as well. I'd want some new workout clothes because my selection for teaching is very small! I also LOVE lingerie so I'd go nuts buying panties, bras, and sleepwear!! Of course some cute new shirts, some casual, some fancier, and some fun for going out at night! Basically I'd just go crazy!

2) Would they be designer clothes or would you just go and buy as much as you can for your money fro the high street shops? It would probably be a mixture. I like a lot of Guess clothes so I'd definitely go shopping in there. Most of it would come from typical stores like Abercrombie though and obviously Victoria's Secret. Perhaps I'd get some of the lingerie from one of those fancy stores that the celebrities go to?? The places where panties cost $200 a piece!!

3) Shoes - flats / high heels? Well if it's for everyday wear I'm always in flats since all I ever wear are sandals!! If it were for a job or some event that required me to dress up though I like REALLY high heels!! I like the ones that kill your feet after just a few minutes. They make me feel sexy!

4) Do you sneeze when you apply mascara?

lol No, I don't typically sneeze doing that. I almost always poke myself in the eye with my eyeliner though.

5) What is your pet hate with regards to cosmetics? I hate the way the majority of it smells. Especially lipstick. I also hate that I can't wear lipstick when going out with Brendan if I want to be kissed at all during the outing!!! He hates the stuff.

Thats all I can think of for this afternoon! Happy answering...

7.- How many Music Cd´s do you have? do you have the collect of some artist?

I'm just glad you came Susan!

1. Do you like the rain? I love the rain as long as I wasn't planning on going to the beach/pool, driving, or doing any other outdoor activity. When I'm spending the day indoors I really like the sound it makes as it hits my windows, and I love loud thunder!

2. Do you get waxed? No I never have. I'm always shaving my bikini line, and the first time my eyebrows were plucked I had them done by a makeup artist. So now all I is pluck out the strays that come back. I'm planning on electrolysis when I get older!

3. Do you have a window cleaner or do them yourself? I think one of the complexes maintenance guys does them once in a blue moon. All I know is I haven't done them since I've lived here!

4. Skimmed milk or semi skimmed? Semi skimmed for me.

5. Have you ever tried Yankee Candle Tarts?(Chris(Captiva) has just sent me some more over and i love them

) No I've actually never heard of them! I love Yankee Candle though so I'm sure they're absolutely wonderful!!! I can spend forever smelling their stuff...or at least until all the different scents start to make me ill! Do tell, what are they?!?!?! How nice of Chris to send you some!

6.Do you like ironing? I can't stand ironing. As a matter of fact, the last time my iron got used was over six months ago and it was one of my friends who used it!! Most of what I own doesn't require ironing (luckily)!

Those were fun Susan!! I'm glad you decided to join the thread!

I just didn't know those were called Tarts. I have something like that, but not from Yankee Candle. I do love those though, so YUM!

1. Whats for lunch today? That's a good question.

It's probably going to be an orange and some pickles actually. The only other lunch type food I have is turkey and cheese for sandwiches, and I'm quite tired of that already!!

2. How often do you go to the hair salon? Not nearly often enough. About every 3 months I suppose. I wish I could go more but I just can't afford it. Being a poor college kid SUCKS!

3. What shampoo do you use? I keep two different kinds in the shower with me at all times. Currently I have Brilliant Brunette and Aussie's Moist line in there. I love the smell of the Aussie stuff!!!

4. Your out having a coffee, what would you prefer, sandwich or danish? A danish definitely!! I love danishes, especially

ones!

5. Do you do retail therapy?

I do whenever I can afford it, which isn't very often! I absolutely looooove to shop and I looove clothes! If I had more money I'd probably be in trouble!!

I just got the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale catalog in the mail though so I know I HAVE to head over there and stock up on hot panties!!

This whole spotlight thing is just so much fun!

Thanks for the questions Susan!

Do you like to do art and crafts? If so, what do you do? I love it! I do a lot of scrapbooking and I think I've gotten pretty good at it! I just learned how to cross stitch a bit before last Christmas so I do that every once in a blue moon now. There's also a place around here called Port of Pottery where you can go and paint pottery or make mosaics and I really like to do that. I like doing the mosaics more than the painting though. Crafty stuff is so much fun!!

Who is your favourite artist? I'm a big fan of Dali. As far as photography goes I really like Ansel Adams. My boyfriend is also one of my favorite artists.

What is your favourite piece of artwork? and why? It changes frequently but right now it's Pysage Aux Papillons by Dali. It's one of his earlier works and before he started putting so many hidden images in his work. I really like it for its simplicity and use of color. I also like it because it's so different from his most popular works. It makes me wonder what in him changed to switch from that type of work to his later stuff. I actually have that one hanging behind the sofa in the living room right now.

What is your favourite feel good outfit? That would be any one of my 4 miniskirts and the aqua top Fwan mentioned in her first set of questions along with my favorite pair of shoes that I mentioned ( and will be taking a pic of) somewhere earlier in this thread! It makes me feel totally sexy!

Have you ever done any extreme sports? I've surfed and skateboarded. I think that might be it though, since I don't think tubing or jetskiing counts!

Do you watch Pimp My Ride? If so, how would you like to have your car pimped?!

Yes I've seen a few episodes of it! Well, really I'd just want a new car altogether!!

But, if they were going to do something I suppose I'd want them to give my car a nice candy apple paint job, white soft leather interior, candy apple red dash and steering wheel, and a nice sound system in the car.

What is the ideal car you would like to own and why? I would love to own a '67 Mustang (not convertible) with a shiny aquamarine paint job and white soft leather interior. It's just so classic and such a beautiful car! I'd feel like hot stuff driving around in that sucker!!!

What did you want to be when you grew up? (when you were little!

) I wanted to be quite a few things!! I wanted to be a ballerina, Mrs. America (I pretended to be that quite a few times as well lol), and a vet! The vet was actually the most ridiculous of them all. I can't stand even seeing blood and I practically cry everytime I see an animal in the remotest of discomfort! It never would have worked!!

That's all from me - for now! I'm sure i'll be back though!

Fun questions, thanks doll!
