So, Tell Me a Little Bit About Yourself

You know, I've been blogging a lot lately.  I just can't seem to run out of things to say (the key is, though, is I need to figure out what you want to hear - once I do that, I'll be a far better writer).

Anyway, YOU all get to do the writing today.  I'm going to step away from the computer, sit here all quiet-like and wait. 

I want YOU to all to do a little cut and paste, fill out the questions below and post them in the comments.  I don't care if you think I already know, or if you think I don't know you well enough to care - lurkers, this is your chance to come on out and play! 

So get in there and tell me all about you.  If you post questions on your blog, let me know and I'll click through and answer there as well!  Short or long answers, whatever you prefer.  If you don't like the question, change it to something else and answer that ~ I'm not much for rules.

1. Can you cook?  What?
2. What was your dream growing up?

12. Is a glass of water half-full or half empty?
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me (after we called for help, of course)?

First, and before even calling for help, try out my rememedy - I got unstuck twice pressing all the other floor buttons one by one until found one that worked. Then chat, what else.:)

14. Would you share an embarrassing moment with me?
Sure. First year at college we used a special day of ours to give they boy of our group little souvenirs (the Red Army day, but now generally used as men's day). We included our favourite professor as well, chose to do it right when it was his time to teach us. I was made the spokes person. So I blabbered on how we expect them to be our defenders and when they grow up and crap like that.
