What's the one thing you make sure you do before you go to sleep at night?

"Take out my contacts/brush my teeth."

"Floss, brush, floss again, then rinse."

"I ask myself a serious of questions. Always the same questions, which end with the last two questions: 1) Who loves me?/Who do I love/cherish in my life right now? 2) What am I excited about tomorrow? Since I've done this I never have a problem getting out of bed. I'm actually excited to start my day."

"Wash my face. I have a face fetish. I want perfect skin--which I will never have--so I make sure it is cleansed every night before I go to sleep."

"Wash my face. Brush my teeth. Snuggle up to hubby."

"Actually, it's one thing that I do in triplicate before I 'go to bed' and at least seven more times before I 'go to sleep'--I trot my tiny bladder over to the potty. Not very interesting, but highly useful in preventing urinary tract infections."

"Scratch myself thoroughly."

Is there a food you think you hate, but have actually never tried?

"Anchovies and sardines."

"Fish eggs. No matter what you call them--Caviar, Deliquesce --they are still smelly fish eggs."

"I don't think I've really tried sushi. It's a looks and texture thing."

"Oysters. Ugh the idea!"

"I don't know if coffee counts as food. But I have never tried it and I always turn it down. You know why, FUCK COFFEE THAT'S WHY!"

"Olives, spaghetti squash, pad Thai, and most other slimy, squishy foods."

What films or actors would you nominate for the Academy Awards this year?

"Being John Malkovich rocked, I'd love for it to win best picture. Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening --American Beauty, Magnolia was strange and new filmaking--much better than the same old crap that always gets nominated."

"I haven't seen many films, but definitely John Malkovich in Being John... How many actors could be so brilliant playing themselves and then acting as if other people are inside him? Yow."

"Kevin Spacey. And the screenwriter for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Sure there is no character development but goddamn is that script complex and fun."

"Jim Carrey, Best Actor, Man In The Moon. For now. I am not finished with this years films yet.

"Three Kings for something, anything, it was so good. Spike Jonze rocks. And The Limey was really good too. The cop from Magnolia was excellent as well. I love him."

Do you remember your first discussion about the birds and the bees with your parents?

"I never had that discussion with my parents--THANK GOD!"

"I only remember one conversation I had with my Mom. She was telling me that guys will do and say anything to get you into bed. Don't believe everything a guy says and respect myself and body because once 'it' is gone, you can't get 'it' back."

"12 years old... horrible... embarrassing... Saturday night... in my room messing around with Ronnie James Dio blaring on my borrowed ghetto blaster... in he came... notes in hand... stern mood... he must have been almost as uncomfortable as I was... he described the 'love' part with technical words... vagina, hymen, testicles... after I heard 'the penis' my mind's pretty much a blank... there must have been some talk about the pregnancy thing and the Church's view on this issue... I think there was a q/a portion... but there wasn't much crowd participation... I think the only question I could muster was "is it true that girls can get pregnant from sticks and bike seats?"... most of my energy was used on prayers... praying he'd leave fast... praying he wouldn't ask me if I had ever partaken in any subversive activities... praying he wouldn't show me any diagrams... He sucked it up and so did I... now I have this great scar to show off in magazines like this one."

"I think we just got copies of Where Did I Come From. Otherwise, I don't remember anyone actually explaining them to me."

"As the above comment came from my sister I can can confirm the book Where Did I Come From, and at puberty, What's Happening to Me and Congratulations, You're Not Pregnant. All rockin' books that I can highly recommend. But I do have a vague memory of being very very young and my mother saying something to the effect of 'When a man and a woman love each other very much they hug really really tight.' And I may have totally screwed this memory, but I swear next she said, 'And then the woman feels a tickle and she knows she's pregnant.' I was very young, so this somewhat ridiculous explanation was not too out of line. But did she really address orgasms? I suppose that speaks well of my parents' sex life. And then she gave me the book."

"Yeah, on the couch in the house. We had bred dogs my whole life so I knew what procreation was. My mother used the dogs as an example-explanation."

"I'm still waiting."

What's the last thing you said out loud?

"Ever notice how girls just leave puddles?"

"Hey! Ja-Mick-N-Ade! Did you have a good run?"

"It's around 10:30 PM winding down time for the seven living things in our home... one of my New Year's resolutions is to spend a bit of quality (besides the normal walks, feedings and loungings) time with our four animals before retiring upstairs to the master suite... if we don't make some sort of effort to stimulate the animals before they go to sleep then they are up wandering, whining, rummaging and barking throughout the night... so I just ran around in crazy eights--playfully poking, petting, prodding and posturing with the animals... all while shouting "stimulation... stimulation... stimulation... stimulation... stimulation... stimulation... stimulation."

"'WHO'S THE MAN? WHO'S THE MAN?' or 'I RULE!' I can't remember. They usually go hand in hand."

"You tubby bitch!"

"'You could, either way.' Just said it to my sweetie."

"Ed White is on line one. Would you like to take the call?"

"Wiener? Cut it out! I know you're in the trash!"
