Another fun one from MarkTapioKines

1. Do you think castration could be a fair punishment for sexual/violent criminals?
Yes, definitely. And they should also find a way to give them urinary tract infections. Those things are hell.

2. Is your real name also a .com that you own and control?
Yes. JessicaBaxter.com. It just links to this blog though.

3. What's your general opinion of rock star Tom Petty?
Some of his songs are catchy and I kind of enjoy them when I hear them but I never seek him out.

4. Name a well-known song you hate by a well-known band (or performer) you like.
“Blister in the Sun” by the Violent Femmes. I've just heard it too damned much.

5. Name a well-known song you like by a well-known band (or performer) you hate.
“Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd

6. What Beatles song would you be happy to never hear again?
“The Long and Winding Road”. Long and winding indeed.

7. What is your favorite nut?
I do love a cashew. Particularly if they are honey roasted.

8. What percentage of Catholic priests do you think are actually gay?
90%.

9. When you get a mass email from a friend, do you ever check out the other email addresses on the recipient list?
Yes. Is that wrong?

10. Would you rather go for one month without access to your email account, or one month without access to a cell phone?
Cell phone. I am not a fan of being on the phone in general and I actually conduct most of my plan-making via email. I imagine if I could tell people I wouldn't have my phone for a month, they would know to email me. Plus, I wouldn't have to listen to my mother's monologues for that long.

11. Would you rather be ridiculed for something you purposefully did, or be falsely admired for something you know you didn't do?
Ridiculed for something I purposefully did. I'd either be proud of it and not feel the need to defend myself or I'd have learned a valuable lesson. Nothing good could come out of false admiration and taking credit for something you didn't do.

12. We're halfway through January 2008. Is there anything new you've done in 2008 that you've never done before?
Voluntarily purchased a ton of vitamins. Usually, my mother would force them on me.

13. Have you eaten in any restaurants this year that you have never eaten in before?
Yes. I ate at Serious Pie on Friday. It was quite delicious. Now, what, prey tell, do you think their little logo man has caught on fire.

14. Been anywhere in 2008 where you've never been before?
We went to the future location of our wedding ceremony. It was a part of Discovery Park that I have never visited. That is a big park.

15. Who do you hope becomes president in 2008?
O'Boy Obama. If Clinton gets the nomination we are screwed for another 4 years because there are way too many voters who have personal vendettas against her for her to get elected.

16. What do you usually eat and/or drink for breakfast?
I waver between oatmeal with a cut-up banana and instant grits. Both with tea. On the weekends, it's often some sort of egg with veggies and toast combination.

17. What are you most annoyed at your mother about?
Not being able to get through a single conversation with me without saying something disparaging about my father.

18. What are you most annoyed at your father about?
He could have been slightly more tactful with my mother.

19. If your house had to go without gas, water or electricity for 48 hours, what would you choose to go without?
I'd go with electricity. I could go to a movie to entertain myself. Not taking a shower makes me grumpy

20. Finally, how are you doing so far on your 2008 goals/resolutions?
Fairly well. I was keeping up with my exercise regiment until I got sick yesterday and I've been eating pretty healthily. I didn't overdo it booze-wise over the weekend either. It's early days yet and I'm about to go to party-central, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
