Tag! I'm It!
Avalon author Sierra Donovan has tagged me. Thanks, Sierra. No really : P
I answer the questions below then "tag" four more people, asking them to post their answers to the same questions. No pressure to play, but it is fun and gives an excuse for not hitting my WIP. OK, here we go:

OMG, you lived in Brentwood, NY? That's where I grew up.
I also stayed in Fairbanks for a couple of months.
I agree with two of your movies. Not saying which, but One is about a funny monster and the other a crazy couple. :)
JS and Colbert are both must see's for me every day.
Except for pork, which I don't eat, I'm totally with you on the rest. But I would have cheated and put peaches and cream ice cream as one food item.
Interesting that 2 things you want to do before you die have to do with family and friends.
But seriously, where in Brentwood? I grew up I guess in the south side of it. Went to South Jr. High. Lived off of Brentwood Rd. and Commack just near the St. Joseph's Acadamy. It's a small, small world. But that was long, long ago.
Holy crap, Leah! How funny/weird. I grew up in Brentwood too and still consider it "home" even though I left a long time ago. My Mom is still there, tho she's selling the house we grew up in, off Suffolk Ave and Park, near 5th Ave/Wicks Road. Yeah, *that* part of town ; ) Went to East Jr. High.
What were you doing in Fairbanks? I spent several years there, mostly going to school. Same with Bottineau ND. Obviously I'm not one for the heat : )
Man, oh man, the things you discover, eh?
OH heh, that's practically across the street from Village Elementary where I went to school, near Brentwood Hi, no?
We moved from Brentwood when I was 15 to Port Jeff Station. But I left in my early twenties and no family lives there now for a long time.
DH and I went to NY in 05 and we went all over LI and I drove past the old houses. Look so different! Although Brentwood really didn't change that much over all these years.
In Fairbanks I stayed with a friend for a bit and waitressed. It was middle of winter and I couldn't handle it being dark all the time. But did go with some army guys flying up to Circle and swam in Circle Hot springs. Fun
Yeah, the old house is sort of near the HS, across the tracks toward the LIE. We went to Twin Pines Elem, though.
It's weird to go back now that I'm older. Hometowns seem to be the same yet so different upon return.
Middle of the winter is not a good time to be introduced to Fairbanks : ) But the hot springs when it's -20 is sweet.

Cathy, thanks for playing! :)
Which version of Pride and Prejudice do you recommend? (I've only seen the 2005 version.) And could you by any chance mean the old Hitchcock movie called Mr. and Mrs. Smith? (Or am I just too lame for words?)
Hi Sierra,
It was fun to play, and made me think about certain things : )
I meant the 2005 "P & P" with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. I want to see the BBC version everyone raves about. And I've seen the 1930s or '40s film, but that was long ago.
Hehheh, no, I didn't mean the Hitchcock version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Though I do enjoy his films. You're not lame.
Thanks for stopping by!
