Friday's Feast

Feast Ninety-Five

Appetizer
How old were you when you got your first credit card?
I was probably 22. Oddly, I don't remember. I know I didn't have one in college (unless you count a Sears charge card on my mom's account, which I don't think I ever used, not having a Sears store anywhere near my college). It was cash and checks all the way baby...just like now (for the most part).

Soup
When was the last time you felt out of place?
All week, but especially yesterday, sobbing in my kitchen.

Salad
Did you have a curfew when you were a teenager? If so, what time did you have to be home?
I probably did, but I don't remember it being much of an issue. I was a little on the...intense...side about getting enough sleep.

Funny how now I almost never get more than 7 hours.

Main Course
Name a person from history with whom you feel you have something in common.
My grandmother. I think we look a lot alike (which is a bit scary as I age!), and we share the same temperament. I'm fortunate enough not to have lived the horrors she lived, however.

Dessert
When you read a newspaper, which section do you go for first?
In Beasts's "real" newspaper: the comics (For Better or For Worse, and Zits), and the advice columns.
In the local daily rag: I save them until I have 3 or 4, and then start at the front page and flip through quickly. I read four yesterday in less than a half hour, front to back, excluding the ads. I probably spend the most time on the front page stories and the letters to the editor.
