I've done this one before, but since Ben did one for me and asked nicely that I post it, post I must. Post.
I don’t really know what the criteria are for this meme. So I’ll just respond to Ben’s post with what each of his anecdotes made me think of in relation to myself.
1. All of my teeth are mine and cavity free. I have unusually healthy teeth, especially compared to how the rest of my body is falling apart.
2. On my right cheek, I have a small indentation from an accident when I was 2. And by accident, I mean I was a headstrong toddler who lacked common sense. I was in my little walker thingy (what do you calls those chairs with the Flintstone-style foot holes that have a tray on the front for making a mess with food?), and I wanted to get into the kitchen where my mom was. She was behind a swinging door that swung out. I understood the concept of a swinging door, but not that it only swung one way. So I tried a few times to push my way through the door to no avail. Thinking that I only needed to add a little force, I backed up and prepared to ram the thing. The whole time, I was clutching my favorite, engraved metal cup in my fist. I got as much momentum as I could and charged the door. Just as I was about to make impact, my mother, having heard the banging on the door, swung it open to see what was going on. The force propelled me backwards into the wall. My fall was cushioned by the walker, but since I was clutching the metal cup, I jabbed myself in the cheek with the edge of the cup, thus splitting my face open and scaring the living shit out of my mother. Not much has changed regarding the way I do business.
3. I was born with black hair. It later lightened to almost blonde.
4. The summer of my 14th year, at Hippie Camp, I finally received my first kiss. It was during a game of spin the bottle. The boy, Daniel, was an unwilling participant. He showed open disgust for having to kiss me. I didn’t even like him but he really hurt my feelings. I thought it meant that no one would ever want to kiss me. Two days later, I was proven wrong by a cute, curly-haired Sk8-er Boi named Robert. He took me into the dark woods during the square dance and told me I was beautiful. He became my boyfriend for a week until I broke up with him for unapologetically giving me poison ivy (on my neck). We made up on the last day of camp, but by then, of course, it was too late and he shipped off back to Florida. Ah fleeting summer camp romances.
5. I am allergic to mold, but I love the stinky cheeses.
6. The thought of getting nipples pierced makes me cringe in, what I imagine to be a manner similar to when boys see other boys get kicked in the nuts.
7. There are a few people in my life that I regret having never punched.
8. At different times in my youth, I forayed into the following extra-curricular activities: ballet, “jazz” dance, Aikido, tennis, golf, acting and ballroom dancing. I am incapable of doing any of those things today.
9. I sometimes get road rage just by being in the passenger seat of a car. This is a good reason for me to never again get behind the wheel.
10. None of my non-surgical scars have cool stories even though one of them actually begins “I was drunk…”
11. It took me 3 years to get over an ex that I dated for two.
12. From age 12-16, I attended a summer camp based on the teachings of Edgar Casey. I lovingly refer to it as Hippie Camp.
13. On New Years Eve, 1994, I accidentally kicked a hole into a hallway wall of the Virginia Beach Ramada. I was neither drunk nor angry. I just got overly excited “sparring” with my friend. We immediately ran back to our room and hid for the rest of the night. I never did get caught.
14. Faye and I were both stalked by the same guy. He called looking for me, and Faye answered the phone. After that, the scary messages he left at 1:30 in the morning were addressed to both of us.
15. The only altercation I’ve had with police, besides during protests, is last year when Jacob and I and some friends from Tacoma got thrown out of Volunteer Park at 2 in the morning.
16. The only animals I’m truly afraid of are fire ants.
17. In high school, I was a victim of gay-bashing. Only in the south can you get gay-bashed on the unfounded suspicion of being gay.
18. In 6th grade, I played the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. The only reason I got a lead role is because there were 10 people in my class, and most of the other kids were burnouts.
19. I often wonder if I would have been “counterculture” in high school if I’d gone to public school and been able to drop under the radar.
20. The knee condition that I was born with (which subsequently lead to surgery), is allegedly related to evolution. According to my doctor, my knee caps were attached to the wrong muscle for creatures that stand erect, but not for creatures that stand on all fours. FREAK!
| You Are Somewhat Machiavellian |
 You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead… But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place. You just don't get ugly yourself – unless you have to! |
I think I finally did this meme correctly. Bold the ones that apply to you. Replace the ones that don’t. I think the idea is to have this get to someone eventually who doesn’t change anything so the entire doc is bold. What a strange cosmic convergence that would turn out to be.

Welcome to the FUCKED survey. These are all FUCKED, random, interesting, personal questions.
Baxter’s note: I wouldn’t call any of these questions “fucked”. I think the creator just wanted to write “fucked” as many times as possible to exude an air of danger. OOOOH! Anyway…
HAVE YOU EVER? …YES/NO (feel free to elaborate on your answers to make it a quasi-interesting read)
1. Given a homeless guy more than $5?
Nope.
2. Spent more than $500 on a bf/gf's gift or a night out?
What could Dom POSSIBLY spend that much money on?
3. Had sex with more than one person in a day?
No.
4. Hooked up with a good friends bf/gf behind their back?
Never.
5. Dated two people at once?
Yes. But neither was exclusive so it was ok.
6. Actually met someone from myspace that you didn't mack down on?
Clearly this is a myspace meme. And frankly, I feel like it’s accusing me of something.
8. Failed more than one class?
I failed exactly one class. Well, I didn’t FAIL. I got a D. But for some reason, at my college, a D means you have to take statistics over again.
9. Took someone's virginity when you weren't a virgin?
Yes.
10. Hooked up with someone from a different race?
Yes.
11. Ran around naked outside…daytime/night time?
Yes. It was truth or dare and…BOY was I drunk.
12. Scubadived/snorkoled?
No.
13. Want to fuck (there’s that naughty word again!) the person who posted this?
Not especially. No offense.
14. Dated someone you didn't want your friends to meet?
Heh. Actually, the crazier they were, the MORE I wanted my friends to meet them. Because I needed them to feel my pain before it was over.
15. Got your stomach pumped, from alcohol poisoning?
Luckily, no.
16. Threw up from alcohol?
Unluckily, yes.
17. Been suspended from school?
Nope. But I did get a few “demerits”. Mostly for dress code violations but one, I was especially proud of: Not bowing my head during prayer in assembly!
18. Kissed someone of the same sex?
Yep.
19. Wore a short skirt with out panties?
Not a short skirt. If I’m going commando, it’s because I don’t have any clean underwear and I’m not about to get busted by wearing a short skirt.
20. Let a guy paint your toenails?
Why would I do that?
21. Met someone famous?
Yes!
22. Saved someone's life?
Nope.
23. Seen someone die?
No. But I’ve seen a few people on their way out.
24. Killed someone?
Heh. I doubt a murderer would be filling out a meme.
25. Been in a physical fight?
Only with my brother.
26. Hooked up with someone 10yrs older or younger?
No.
27. Been arrested?
No.
28. Spent the night in jail?
I’ve never even been in a working prison. Sounds like fun though.
29. Been in more than three car accidents in a year?!
No.
30. Had sex outside?
Yes.
31. Given or gotten road head?
You know, I haven’t. And it’s not because I’m unadventurous. It’s more to do with the fact that I don’t want to die in an embarrassing fashion. I’ve pulled over to the side of the road for the goods though.
32. Had sex in your house when your parents were there?
Actually, yes. I lost my virginity with my parents downstairs. Everyone was asleep though. And our stairs were creaky enough so that I knew I wouldn’t get caught. Also, being my first time, there was NO chance of me making any noises of passion.
33. Had phone sex?
Yes. It’s not for me.
34. Been turned off by someone's personal hygiene?
Once or twice. But mostly, I don’t mind man stink.

I don’t think so. Not for any nefarious reasons, anyway.
42. Danced on top of a bar?
No.
43. Had sex somewhere in your high school?
That would have been impossible for many reasons.
44. Bought a vibrator?
Several.
45. Been in a porn shop?
Whenever possible.
46. Been in a dance competition?
Hehe! Does DDR count?
47. Ever had a threesome?
Only in my dreams. And that’s probably where it’s best left.
48. Spent more than one night in a hospital?
No. One night is bad enough.
49. OD'd on a drug?
When you throw up from drinking, isn’t that kind of like ODing? Certainly it means you’ve had too much alcohol.
50. Lied on a retarded Myspace Bulletin Quiz?
I’d like to think of this meme as “developmentally disabled”.
I may have done this one (or a similar one) before. If so, sorry. But I’m still bored so…

Roses/Daisies Daises.
Beer/Liquor Depends on the day, really. Beer makes me fat. But it’s soooo tasty.
Boxers/Briefs Boxers. But it amused me to no end when I dated a briefs man. There’s something very hilarious about a man under 30 wearing briefs.
Hair: Short/Long? I’ve done and been happy with both. Very few guys look good with long hair, though. Rob Zombie is the only one I can think of. Oh, and Dusty!
Boots/Shoes They both serve a fashionable/functional purpose. Boots in winter.
Food: Mexican/Italian I love both. Sue me.
Dark/Light In regards to what? I can’t answer these absolutes if I don’t know what they’re referring to. I am drawn to dark bars but I like a sunny day.
Day/Night They both serve a purpose.
City/Country City. Definitely. But I enjoy a holiday in the country. Namely, the Stabbin Cabbin.
Sheets: Yes/No Bottom sheet yes, top sheet no.
Chocolate Milk/Hot Chocolate Hot chocolate. But I like to call it cocoa.
McDonald’s/Burger King Burger King, only because they have a (very poor) vegetarian option and they don’t put chicken fat in their milk shakes.
Coke/Pepsi Coke
Tea/Coffee Tea
Vanilla/Chocolate Vanilla
Milk/Dark/White Chocolate Milk
Ice/No Ice No ice
Cake/Cookies Cookies

Motorboat/Sailboat Motor boats are good for drinking and hanging out. Sail boats are good for speed. I like both. Not that I have access to either.

Thing to do Drool
Thing to talk about I like to have natural conversations that aren’t dictated by topics, but often the conversation flows to movies.
DO YOU…
Color your hair? God yes
Twirl your hair? I play with it unconsciously but I wouldn’t call it twirling since it’s too straight for that.
Have tattoos? Yes.
Have piercings? Only my ears and I’m pretty sure they’ve closed up by now since I haven’t warn earrings since middle school.
Floss daily? HA!
Impersonate? I’m not sure what this means. But the only impression I can accurately do is that girl who worked in my college’s cafeteria with the elf-voice. I can also act the hell out of being trapped in a hole.
Chew gum obnoxiously? Not on purpose. But you’d have to ask Faye about that.
Cheat on tests/homework? I cheated on a chemistry test once. I was so paranoid about it and I still only got a B so I never felt it was really worth the stress.
Like roller coasters? Only the ones that look safe. Never ANY rides at fairs.
Like soap operas? When I lived in the UK, I really got into Eastenders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. But here, given the fact that most soaps are on while I’m at work, it’s impossible for me to keep up. I did watch Days of Our Lives when I was in college because everyone knows that college students aren’t busy. So I guess the answer is yes, I like them, but I don’t watch them.
Wish you could live somewhere else? Not as much as I wish that the things I love about other places could be true for Seattle.
Like cleaning? I think my answer to that is well publicized.
Write in cursive or print? The only thing I can remember how to write in cursive is my signature. That and Rizzuto.
Carry a donor card? Yessir.
Swear a lot? I wish that I could be more prolific sometimes but yes.
Own a webcam? Why? Have you seen me on the internet? I swear that isn’t me.
Know how to drive? In theory.

Sprechen sie Deutsch? Nein.

DUI? No.
Been in a wreck? Oooh yeah.
Been arrested? Nope.
Been in a fist fight? No, but I’ve had people want to fight me. I find that when you laugh at them, it disarms them a bit. Especially when they’re 14 and you’re 17.
Kicked someone in the nuts? Yes. But I don’t think it’s ever been on purpose.
Stolen a car? Nooooo.
Stolen anything? I had a teenage shoplifting phase. I also steal glasses from bars sometimes. I’m sorry, but it’s really hard to find a nice pint glass.
Held a gun? Yes. It made me nervous. Toy guns, on the otherhand…
Smoked? Yes.
Pot? Ahem.
Crack? Not that I know of.
Drink? …
Been so drunk you couldn’t remember your name? Does that actually happen to people?
Been so drunk you didn’t care if you couldn’t remember your name? When the room is spinning, your worries become very base indeed.
Posed for nude pics? Not professionally.
Considered being a hooker? Only in that cute, Natalie Portman kind of way.
Been married? Not that I know of.
Been divorced? See above.
Cried over a girl? Yes.

Made your bed? Probably at our housewarming a year ago.
Went online? Given that memes are inherently internet based, I find this question inane.
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON…
you instant messaged? Sherrard

who saw you cry? Dom? I’m a crier. I cry at TV, for fuck’s sake.

who’s heart you broke? I don’t really know. Most guys I’ve had relations with have seemed to handle rejection pretty well. Maybe that one guy in London who I met in a club and who thought we were instantly a couple. He got pretty pissed when I broke it off with him.
WHAT’S THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU…
wake up? If it’s a weekday, I usually groan. I can’t help it. If it’s a weekend, I usually smile because it’s a weekend and then I pee.
get in the shower? Shampoo.
get out of the shower? Chase the cats around the apartment dripping wet.
get in your car? Wonder where I got the car.

Scars are on your body? 8 big ones. Lots of little ones.
Different illegal drugs have you taken? 3. I think.
Friends do you have that you could trust with your life? I never understood this question. I wouldn’t call someone my friend unless I thought that they cared enough about me to try and stop me from dying in whatever situation might make that an issue. I mean, I would try to stop most people from dying whether I knew them or not.
People who you consider your enemies? I have approximately 4 people in Seattle that I definitely don’t want to run into.
Times has your name appeared in a newspaper? A few. I don’t know.

Pair of shoes do you wear the most? my mary janes.
Color is your toothbrush? Purple, I think.
1. One of your scars, how did you get it?
It’s hard to answer because I have so many scars. Most of them are from surgery. My personal favorite non-surgical scar is the three tiny puncture wounds on my upper right arm. This happened one night as a teenager. My cat, in indoor/outdoor combo, was in the habit of coming to my window in the middle of the night, crying to be let in, and then running around my room playing with anything he could get his paws on. So I would inevitably have to carry him downstairs to put him in the garage (where the cats stayed) so I could get some sleep. You had to go through the laundry room to get to the garage, and I didn’t feel like shocking my eyeballs by turning on the light. I had figured the light of the moon was enough to guide my way. Not so. I tripped over a box in the laundry room, which freaked the hell out of poor Curry who dug deep into my arm.
2. What is on the walls in your room?
-A poster of a Royal Shakespeare Company’s version of Macbeth which features a psychedelic drawing of the Porter.
-A print of my favorite painting,“Ophelia” by John Everett Millais.
-A copy of an illustration from “I’m Crazy”, that was printed in the New Yorker, which is the short story that J.D. Salinger adapted into “The Catcher in the Rye”.
-An illustration of Memnoch, the Devil.
-An artistic photograph of a “Jesus saves” sign. I think that’s it. The movie posters are in the living room and the office.
-A vintage-style poster of a Chicago vacation ad. (Dom’s).
-An etching that Dom’s ex-girlfriend did.
Obviously, I dominated the decoration of the bedroom. Sorry, Dom.
What does your cell phone look like?
Like crap, actually. While everyone around me upgrades to camera phones and flip top models, I remain with my primitive little Erickson phone that doesn’t take pictures and the only cool game it has is “battleship”. I don’t mind too much though. If I had a cool, expensive phone, I would only lose it.
4. What music do you like to listen to?
This is a boring question compared to the others. I think most people who would read this already know about my musical taste. I will say this: I must get my hands on The Devil’s Rejects soundtrack.
5. Do you know what time you were born?
Mostly. 11:45am-ish.
6.What do you want more than anything right now?
To get paid to make movies.
7. What do you miss at times?
A few old friends who lost touch or moved away, lazy summers, enjoying going to rock shows.
.
8. What is your most prized possession?
I would be pretty distraught if I lost my day planner. I don’t necessarily consider it “prized”, but it’s the one thing that I would be really upset over losing because it’s the thing that keeps me organized. And I know this for a fact because someone actually pick-pocketed my day planner in London, thinking it to be my wallet (I’m assuming) and it screwed by shit up for weeks. And of course, Tobe isn’t a “possession”, but I sure do like the little fella.
9. What is your favorite smell?
Old Spice, fresh ground coffee, or pot.
10. Do you get claustrophobic?
Only in elevators. Mainly because I start wondering what the maximum weight of the thing is. And there were a few times in clubs/really crowded bars that I got claustrophobic. But I blame the clientele.
11. If you died tomorrow:
Is that a question? Am I supposed to complete the sentence? If I died tomorrow I definitely wouldn’t be ready. I have a lot left to do, man. Like the dishes.
12. The last person to make you cry?
I think it may have been Roxy when I found out she was moving to L.A. It was partly a happy cry though.
13. What is your favorite cologne/perfume?
Again with the Old Spice.
14. What kind of hair do you like on the opposite sex?
First of all, this question is biased toward heterosexuals. Second of all, I don’t have a definite answer. I’ve dated bald people and people with ridiculous amounts of hair. However, I am certainly partial to hairy men and beards. And I used to have a thing for receding hairlines. What’s wrong with me?
15. Where can you see yourself being proposed to?
This is the part in the meme where I realize it was written by a teenage girl.
16. Do you like porn?
Yes. But, like most things, there’s good and bad porn.
17. What are your five favorite movies?
This is an unfair question and this list is constantly in flux as new movies continue to blow me away. I really prefer it to be broken into genres since my tastes are all over the board. But as it stands, in no particular order:
1. Back to the Future
2. True Romance
3. Cemetery Man
4. The Beaver Trilogy
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
18. Where can you see yourself going on your honeymoon?
N/A
19. Who is the last person you made mad?
I’m going to guess Meep. ;) You only hurt the ones you love.
20. Do you speak a different language?
I think, perhaps, I do. Whenever I try to explain what I do to my mom, I spend at least 20 minutes defining filmmaking terms to her. I also speak fluent British.
21. What was the first gift someone of the opposite sex ever gave you?
Well, if I must play along with your biased sexuality questions…I do believe it was some (really bad) poems and some rose petals in an envelope. I still have them if anyone’s interested in having a laugh. The guy dumped me so it’s ok to laugh at him.
22. Who is your favorite singer?
Since I like so many different bands/musicians, I’m going to modify this to be who I think is the BEST singer. And that person is Freddy Mercury.
23. Favorite band?
Didn’t we cover this earlier in the meme? You’re losing me here…
Fine. The Clash/Oasis.
24. What kind of books do you like to read?
Ones that make me feel something. Like Chuck Palahniuk or Douglas Coupland. And I can’t get enough of the horror comic these days.
25. Favorite Dessert?
Pie. Any kind of pie, but especially fruit pie a la mode.
26. How do you like your coffee?
I try not to drink coffee anymore, but in the most dire situations where I need the caffeine, I like it black or, if it tastes like ass, with a drop of cream.
27. What’s your favorite quote?
How can you pick a favorite quote? The whole point of quotes is that different ones are appropriate in different situations. Right now I’m gonna go with “Any port in a fucking storm.”
28. Would you fall in love with a person knowing that you would not be able to have them?
Which alternate universe does this person live in that they get to pick who they fall in love with?
29. What is the best way to tell someone how much they mean to you?
Dead hooker.
30. Say a number from one to 100.
Ok. 69, dude!
31. Blondes, redheads or brunettes?
Again, I feel like we’re on well-worn territory here. I do like a good redhead though. Jason Flemyng, I’m looking at you.
32. What is the one number you call most often?
Meep’s cell.
33. What annoys you most?
Selfishness.
34. Have you ever placed a prank call?
Yes. But I’m not particularly skilled at making them.
35. Who is your current crush?
Optimus Prime.
36. What is your worst fear?
Painful death.
37. Say something to someone you haven’t seen/talked to in a while.
Erm…Ok.
38. Have you ever said “I love you” and not meant it?
Not that I can think of. If I have, it was “I love you too”.
39. What were you doing before you filled out this survey?
Is that what this is? A survey? I was working.
40. If you could get plastic surgery, what would it be?
Does a breast reduction count as plastic surgery? There’s no plastic involved. If counts than I’ve gotten the only plastic surgery I would ever have.
41. Why did you fill out this survey?
Because it’s a well-known fact that memes are my favorite way to waste time at work.
42. What do you like on your pizza?
The admittedly weirdest combination ever: pineapple, mushrooms and jalapenos.
43. What’s more important? Your happiness or the happiness of your significant other?
The happiness of my significant other would make me happy.
44. What’s the last movie you watched?
The Devil’s Rejects
45. What is the last thing you bought?
A movie ticket. I’m about to buy a salad though.
46. What are you wearing?
Take a guess.
47. If you could be granted one wish right now, what would you ask for?
Money to make a movie? I don’t know. I would be wary of taking a “wish” because those Leprechauns are tricky bastards.
48. What is the last book you read?
The last book I finished: “Stranger than Fiction” by Chuck Palahniuk. Current book: “Frequency” by Joshua Ortega. If graphic novels count “V for Vendetta”. I read a lot.
49. What’s the weather like outside right now?
Sunny and hot for Seattle.
50. What are you looking forward to?
Doing absolutely nothing tonight.
1. When you look at yourself in the mirror, what's the first thing you look at?
My complexion to see if it needs powdering.
2. How much cash do you have on you?
About $60. And it will probably be gone by the end of the night. Stupid bar prices and high alcohol tolerance.
3. What's a word that rhymes with “TEST”?
Breast, please.
4. Favorite plant?
Seamus, my clover, who is the only plant I have ever been able to keep alive. I've had him for a year and a half!
5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone?
Surprise, surprise…it's Frank! But I called him RIGHT back.
6. What is your main ring tone on your phone?
It is and always will be “Shapdoikle Day.”
7. What shirt are you wearing?
Why is this always a qustion? My favorite lacy black tank.
8. Do you “label” yourself?
With a labeler.
9. What name brand of shoes are you currently wearing?
The kind you get at Payless.
10. Are you in a Bright or Dark Room?
Dark. Just the way I like it.
11. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you?
She's perty. And a hell of a singer.
12. Ever “spilled the beans”?
Yes. I'm actually really rubbish at keeping my own secrets. I'm good at keeping other people's though.
13. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Sleeping.
14. What did your last text message you received on your cell phone say?
“Where has a good happy hour?”
15. Do you ever click on “Pop Ups” or Banners?
Why in the hell would I do that?
16. What's a saying that you say a lot?
Titular line.
17. Who told you they loved you last?
I think it was my mom.
18. Last furry thing you touched?
Tobe!
19. How many hours a week do you work?
I get paid for 40 but I have to be in the office for 45. And then there's all the film stuff so I'm going to round it up to 60.
20. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
None. I just steal Dom's digital camera and upload them onto kodakgallery. Not as romantic as proper film, I know, but it's much cheaper these days.
21. Favorite age you have been so far?
Well, I'm having a pretty good year this year, but I'll always have a special fondness to my 19th year. The year of the drunken liberation, book reading, limited responsibilities and first love.
22. Who is your worst enemy?
Baz. Lurhman. Or perhaps any manner of Stranger employees.
23. What is your current desktop picture?
Optimus Prime, my love.
24. What was the last thing you said to someone?
“Good.”
25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to go back in time to fix all of your mistakes, which would you pick?
The million, please. I haven't done anything so stupid that I couldn't move past it. And I need to make a movie!
| Your Virgo Drinking Style |
 Hey brainiac, you are compelled to impose order onto your bender.Your famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure… But it could also lead to drinking booze neatly (like sucking down organic wine or having extreme brand loyalty). You rarely get fully shellacked — but, oh, when you do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, “I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight.” A toast to the subgenius IQ! |
| Your Signature Cocktails |
| Many Virgos prefer clear, simple, untreacly drinks like vodka tonic or a real margarita, though you can be found drinking anything from unflinchingly downing Cuervo straight to smirkingly ordering a dirty virgin. You also tend to like bitter, low-alk guzzles like Campari and soda. However, you rarely change your signature drink once you've found it. |
| Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies |
| Cameron Diaz, Hugh Grant, Keanu Reeves, Nicole Richie, Bill Murray, Jada Pinkett Smith, Adam Sandler, and Ricki Lake. |
Order? Rarely fully shellacked? extreme brand loyalty? I'm loyal to cheap brands by default. But if I could afford the good stuff…well, I'd probably still drink Cook's. So I guess they're right on one count. Being a person that checks the alcohol content on a bottle of wine before committing to it, they are DEFINITELY wrong about the “dirty virgin” thing. But I WOULD like to have a drink with Bill Murray sometime.
