Friday Fiver

(Link at left)
We're simply mad

1. Are you attracted to the naughty or the nice?

I don't mind a little naughtiness, but I definitely prefer a guy with a healthy sense of unselfconscious decency. I am not, and have never been, attracted to men (or women for that matter) with any sort of self-destructive tendency. "Bad boys" are not interesting; they are just bad. I have never been able to understand women who moon over men like Jeffrey Dahmer or Scott Peterson after they are convicted and imprisoned. Hello??

2. Do you let your dirty laundry pile up?

No, my laundryman takes care of my dirty laundry every week. ;-) Should he not take care of it, I would probably only let it go another few days before dealing with it. It's certainly not going away, and I'd need some clean clothes!! [Disclaimer: I wash my own lingerie and anything else that needs hand-washing.]

3. What's the last excuse you made?

"I know I shouldn't be eating this, but I'm hungry!" Less than ten minutes ago. But hey, it was a blueberry turnover, so there is some (slight) redeeming value to it...right?

4. Do you play it safe or do you take risks?

Depends on whether we're talking about poker, my life, or what. I will take a risk based on the possibility of a decent payoff balanced against the possibility of death or dismemberment. In other words: poker, I risk all the time (and therefore, I frequently win). Running onto a busy freeway...not so much.

5. Friday fill-in: Let's go to the moon and back.
