There is no part 20, but the questions are in order starting with question #1902, though I'm not at all sure why #1901 was on the last set. Also, I correct a lot of the spelling issues, because I just couldn't deal with them1902. What takes your breath away? Cats, because asthma. Also beautiful scenery.

1904. Is happiness something to be achieved and sought after or is it something to be retained and held onto always, no matter what happens? I don't think we'd recognize it if it were here all the time. I think it's something that comes and goes and should be treasured while it's around.

1907. What gives people depth and character? Experience and ability to communicate.
1908. What band, together or not would make you want to JUST FLY after seeing their show? I'm not big into crowds, so if it were a command performance, I'd be super-thrilled about almost any show.

1924. Do you like:
piña coladas? meh, they aren't horrible, but definitely not in my top 10 requests.
getting caught in the rain? not particularly, but again, it's not the end of the universe either.
yoga? I doubt I can do anything yoga-y anymore, but it would be nice to try.
intelligence? I'm a HYUGE fan of smarts, yeah.
making love at midnight? To be honest, the timing isn't the first thing I think of, but these days I'm asleep well before midnight.
health food? not as a thing, no, but I like fruits and veggies and nuts and grains ok.
champagne? ONLY the really pricey kind; cheap stuff makes me vomit.
the feel of the ocean? ...it's water...? I like standing in waves looking out over the ocean, but I don't do it very often, since I live a long way from a coast.

1929. If you could build your body from scratch using the parts from different celebrities who would you combine? Oh hell really? I'd love Julia Robert's laugh, but otherwise this is not something I spend ANY time thinking about.
1930. If you could build your perfect match from scratch using the parts from different celebrities who would you combine Nope, see above.

1932. When you sleep next to someone do they fall asleep first usually or do you? In the past few years, it has almost exclusively been them first.

1940. When was the last time you hurt yourself? Uh, sometime this week, I'm sure--I know that I walked into the lid of Beast's open toolbox one morning on my way to the car in the garage. I've torn off a couple of fingernails as well.
1941. Would you rather never have to sleep but also never be able to dream or just leave things as they are? The thought of never again sleeping actually terrifies me!! And most of the time I love my crazy dreams. They give me something to think about: "why were THEY in my dream?" "wait, do I need to change the sheets in the spare room?" etc.
1942. Have you ever had your car towed? Yes, after I totaled it.
1943. Have you ever used kool-aid to dye your hair? Hell no.

1969. Do you buy holiday gifts early or at the last minute? About halfway between. I just bought my great-nieces and -nephews their Xmas ornaments today. They get a new one every year from me.
1970. What do you want to do today? It's 7:40 p.m. I'm going to bed in the next few hours. I suppose I'll finish this first.

What is your first reaction? Whatever.
Could you become friends with this girl? Why not?
1972. Let's just say your school team is on a winning streak. One of the cheerleaders cheers both for your team and the other team during games. Does it make you angry? Well, it seems to me that the cheer coach should intervene, but I've definitely seen worse cheerleader behavior.
One day you ask her why she does it and she says that, "It's just so much fun, no matter who wins." What do you think of that? But you're purpose is to support your team.
1973. Do you laugh when there is no joke and dance when there is no music? STOP WATCHING ME!!
1974. What would the perfect pair of socks look like? Warm, fluffy, and colorful. Also, lint-free.

1980. What's in the room with you right now that you can't see? That's not creepy at all! I'm literally sitting here alone with the TV on. There might be some random bugs or rodents hanging around, but they're quiet and I'm going to go on thinking everything's fine with ME here ALONE!
1981. Do you ALWAYS thoroughly wash your hands after going to the bathroom? "Thoroughly" no--but always at least rinse and rub.
1982. If someone else were to describe you what would you hope they would say? Kind, honest, funny, helpful. Sound familiar?

bitch/bastard? sometimes
lover? sometimes
child? not anymore (though I do occasionally behave like it)
mother/father? yup
sinner? of course
saint? I try to do my best

1995. Do you think it is harder for a parent to outlive their child or for the child to lose a parent? I think it's easier to adapt to losing a parent because that's "normal." Losing a child...man, I just don't know. My mom told me when my sister Ellen died in 1994 that it's just WRONG for parents to outlive their kids. Culture doesn't really have a 'script' to deal with this, so parents are just left hanging in a lot of cases. The thought of losing Sparky....{{shudder}}
1996. Do you believe in psychic ability or is it a sham? Yes, and yet...yes.
1997. What is your favorite classic rock song? That's like asking who my favorite pet is/was!
