1)Using your current initials, choose a different name for yourself:
Angelina Jolie Frangelica! ;)
2) If you were born outside of your era, when would you want to be born?
About five hundred years from now. I'm curious to see what life will be like, here.
3) If you ran a store, what would you sell/have?
Tea/coffee, books and craft supplies
4) What part in a movie would you love to play?
Edited because I changed my mind. I'd like to play Elizabeth Bennett in "Pride and Prejudice".
5) In your opinion, why do people suck?
Because for every action, there is a equal and opposing reaction. About half the time they blow so, it follows, the other half of the time they should suck.
6) If you had your own state, what would you put on your new quarter?
The black and white kitty I have on my bookcrossing bookshelf
7) What's the oldest article of clothing you own?
A coat my mother gave me that was hers (camel colored with a detachable mink color).
8) What piece of furniture have you replaced the most?
The kitchen table - mostly because we were given cast-offs for many years. We'd get one and "trade up" for a better cast off until, finally, about five years ago we bought one that we actually wanted.
9) What instrument do you wish you could be more than great at?
The violin
10) Record, tape or CD?
Definitely CD.
11) What do you think would be the best concert ever?
The Creme de la Creme Symphony Orchestra preforms Vivaldi
12) What is the best part of your favorite movie?
(From "Pride and Prejudice"), Elizabeth Bennet responds to Mr. Darcy's avowal of love:
As he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt of a favourable answer. He spoke of apprehension and anxiety, but his countenance expressed real security. Such a circumstance could only exasperate farther, and, when he ceased, the colour rose into her cheeks, and she said:
"In such cases as this, it is, I believe, the established mode to express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed, however unequally they may be returned. It is natural that obligation should be felt, and if I could feel gratitude, I would now thank you. But I cannot--I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly. I am sorry to have occasioned pain to anyone. It has been most unconsciously done, however, and I hope will be of short duration. The feelings which, you tell me, have long prevented the acknowledgement of your regard, can have little difficulty in overcoming it after this explanation."
Mr. Darcy, who was leaning against the mantlepiece with his eyes fixed on her face, seemed to catch her words with no less resentment than surprise. His complexion became pale with anger, and the disturbance of his mind was visible in ever feature. He was struggling for the appearance of composure, and would not open his lips till he believed himself to have attained it. The pause was to Elizabeth's feelings dreadful. At length, in a voice of forced calmness, he said:
"And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting! I might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little endeavour at civility, I am thus rejected. But it is of small importance."
"I might as well inquire," replied she, "why with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your will, against your reason, and even against your character? Was not this some excuse for incivility, if I was uncivil? But I have other provocations. You know I have. Had not my own feelings decided against you--had they been indifferent, or had they even been favourable, do you think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister?"
As she pronounced these words, Mr. Darcy changed colour; but the emotion was short, and he listened without attempting to interrupt her while she continued:
"I have every reason in the world to think ill of you. No motive can excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted there. You dare not, you cannot deny that you have been the principle, if not the only means of dividing them from each other--of exposing one to the censure of the world for caprice and instability, the other to its derision for disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind."
She paused, and saw with no slight indignation that he was listening with an air which proved him wholly unmoved by any feeling of remorse. He even looked at her wish a smile of affected incredulity.
"Can you deny that you have done it?" she repeated.
and
"You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner."
She saw him start at this, but he said nothing, and she continued:
"You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it."
13) What do you think is the most over-rated candy ever?
Cotton candy.
14) If you were writing out your will, who would you give your CD collection to?
My daughter - she acts as if she owns it, anyway!
15) If you could only debate two topics the rest of your life, what would they be?
Whether or not I should be limited to debating two topics for the rest of my life and whether or not I've truly answered this question.

18) What do you collect?

20) What do you do when you're home sick?
Sleep a lot, read, watch television, eat toast and drink tea.
21) Current favorite article of clothing?
