Here are my answers:
1. Favorite book: Science of the Mind by Earnest Holmes. It revolutionized my entire belief system. But honestly I read all the time, most recently I read A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Oprah promised it would change my life, but it didn't. Why did you lie to me Oprah girl? I thought we were close!
2. Favorite all time movie: Big Eden and Brokeback Mountian for "gay romance flicks". I like movies with a twist like Runaway Jury, Skeleton Key, and Sixth Sense even though I always figure them out. I love any spy movie and I am a sucker for kids movies... sue me I have four nephews and a niece on the way!
3. Favorite Actor/Actress: Dougray Scott... ok ok I just have the hots for him. Ben Affleck - if you say one bad thing about the man I will eventually marry when he realizes he is gay I will have to hurt you... Seriously I think Kevin Spacey and Ewen McGregor are some of the most taleneted in Hollywood. The true test of an actor is the diversity of the roles they can play.

7. Favorite Television Show: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, CSI, Law and Order: SVU, Miami Ink, and The L Word (though I am furious with them for breaking Dana and Alice up then making Alice into some Psycho! FOR SHAME!!!!! And if Bette cheats again this week after what she did during season 1 to Tina I swear I won'****ch the show again... Sorry, I get kinda worked up over the L Word.)
8. If you could have one person for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? My cousin Zack. He died when we were seven, first AIDS case in Texas in a child from a blood transfusion. He changed my life.
9. What type of automobile do you drive? One that is paid for, so don't laugh... a 1997 Saturn SC2. It is way to small for me, I am too fat and tall for it, but did I mention it was paid for?
10. The greatest thing you've done since WLS: I have learned to apply an attitude of appreciate to my life instead of an attitude of desperation. Funny what this surgery teaches you.
