2. It isn’t there anymore but I found my name was a character in a vampire book. I went to a lot of trouble just to get a copy of this book – I don’t like vampire books, so I’ve never read it.

4. Free parking on Monopoly but we have an extra rule, when it gets too high we split it 50% goes back, the rest gets split between the players. Lord of the Rings Monopoly rocks for the short version.

5. Chocolate, surely if exercise releases endorphins and burns calories, chocolate releases endorphins should burn calories too.

purely Stolypin?

When I googled my name, I found that my name is on a microchip on one of NASA’s spacecraft. I think my boyfriend at the time submitted my name, because his name is on there too.

googling my name shows a guy with the exact same name that is a “gay themed” singer/songwriter in West Hollywood.

I’ll have to see if I have a picture of it but my best Halloween costume was “The Unknown Red-shirt.”

I thought this was brilliant and hilarious but explaining it to non-trekkies was a chore. I found a TNG Version red shirt at a Halloween costume store, complete with pips and ironed one on. I also found a keychain sized tricorder and phaser that made noise and Velcroed them to me. Black pants and shoes completed the ensemble however, hubby thought I should have put holes in the shirt and ‘phaser burns’ to make it more realistic….

2. I submitted a “Pint-Sized Punch Line” to the LA Times when I was 7. Made All-State Journalism.

There’s a town that’s my first name, and a psychic whose last name is my first name… odd.

Halloween costume: I once went as a jar of pickles. I also went as Kojack.

Google fact: strangest thing someone Googling my name would come up with is what amounts to a fan email I sent to the folks who make Manhattan Special Espresso Soda, when I was living overseas and missing it like crazy.

Sports: I’d love to see major league baseball as a co-ed sport

1. I was a garbage can in 4th grade. We hammered out the bottom of an old garbage can and I put a garbage bag over my clothes. I used the lid as a hat and put straps on the garbage can itself so it’d go over my shoulders. We taped raccoons to the lid.

2. I won the districts of the National Vocabulary Competition my senior year of high school.

5. Pop and bagels with cream cheese.

1. Our first son’s first halloween we went as a vampire family. (I know it sounds stupid, but I count this as the best because he died a little over a month later)

2. Nothing, I’ve tried everything and I can’t even pull up anything about myself

3. I would make golf ploayed on a minefield — now that would be exciting!

4. Free parking on Monopoly, not that it matters, we play it how we want and ignore the rules

5. Pizza
