I came across Charme, (based in the UK) and her blog Ad Nauseum just after I had my brief stint on www.23peeps.com. The fun only lasted 3 or 4 days, but one thing led to another and now I've been tagged by her to answer these questions. It took me a while to answer them because there are 50 of them! Here's a link to her answers by the way... http://charme-uk.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-goes-round-comes-round.html
1. What swear word do you use the most?
S__T is probably the one, but I don't swear too often. It ruins the emphasis if I swear all the time. I do swear more while I'm driving though.
2. Do you own an iPod?
I just bought a Creative Zen and I've "ripped" music from about half of my CD collection so far, in (highest quality sound since I'm all about sound quality not song quantity). It takes a long time to pick out the songs I like on hundreds of CD's.
3. Who on your MySpace Top 8 do you talk to the most?
Although I'm on it, I'm too old for MySpace and don't really participate or talk to anybody on it.
4. What time is your alarm clock set for?
On weekdays, it's set for 8:00 so I can get to work at 9:30. I like to go in late and stay late to avoid traffic and get lots done after everybody leaves. I'm a night owl. On weekends, I like to be out of bed before 10.
5. What color is your room?
My room is an off-white, the way the house came when I bought it. I'll paint it sometime soon to brighten things up.
6. Flip-flops or sneakers?
Flip-flops are annoying in more ways than one. Sneakers are the way to go.
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
I would rather take the picture as I like photography, but I'm not afraid to be in a picture.

One of them, but Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio is the best amusement park in the world.
