1. What's worse? Liars or cheaters? A cheater is a liar, so then that makes choosing 'liars' the default.

2. Is it easier to forgive or forget? Mrs. Becker--my erstwhile babysitter--always told me to do both. I have difficulty with each individually, and find doing both impossible.

3. Can girls and guys be just friends? Works just fine for me.

4. How do you feel about dating co-workers? Where the hell else are you supposed to meet people? :-)

6. What was your last meal? Cajun Chicken Pasta at Chili's.

7. If someone called you a bitch, would you be offended? I've been called a bitch in many circumstances. Mostly, people who pull that one out get the copyrighted "Excuse me?" look and verbal response.

10. Would you live with someone without marrying them? I might. It would depend.

11. Favorite sport? Football.

13. Do you squeeze toothpaste from the bottom or the middle? Middle.

14. How do you feel about tanning booths? Hello? Skin cancer?

15. Friends with benefits? Not in my current life, though I guess that's what marriage is... hmmm... never thought of it that way....

18. What are your plans today? Not much of today left. I'll probably just hit the sheets shortly and try to sleep ALL NIGHT for a change.
