I was searching for something in old e-mail and found this from 2002. I still believe it.
Welcome to the next edition of getting to know your friends (part II). Once again, you're supposed to copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail
that you'll send. Change all of the answers so they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know *INCLUDING* the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you'll learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. (ah e-mail chain letters left over from high school note passing. Now we have MEME on our blogs.)
1. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
As Late as Possible! 7:30 for a work day, 10:30 on a weekend. Noon if left to my own devices.
(Now I work from home. 9 or 10 still holds)
2. IF YOU COULD EAT LUNCH WITH ONE FAMOUS PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE?
Allison Janney – from the West Wing and other films. I’d tell her all about that silly dream I had and we become fast friends. My dream had me at a house party at her house. She had a 60's theme and was wearing this fabulous A-line dress with a Mondrian - think Partridge Family bus - pattern to it. At midnight she made everyone (in my dream) get in a circle, take off their costume and pass it to the person on their left. I wound up with her dress but couldn't fit her white go-go boots on. Oh how we laughed and laughed! (in my dream.)

Platinum.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Now its Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Flew to NYC. Dinner at a lovely French Bistro on the Upper Eastside. Shopped on Canal Street for fake Christmas gifts. (they’re real gifts, but knock off’s of real designs.) (quick check of old e-mail reveals... "My cold was bad (VERY BAD) last night. Slept in the guest room and unintentionally woke up the whole house coughing through my pillow... Me-thinks it will be a quiet evening home... Laying low today to conserve my energy..." Hey, it sounds like I get sick a lot...) So I don't seem like a complete loser, the year before I spent my birthday in Buenos Aries, Argentina.

Rachel sent it first. (and will probably be the first to comment on this)
4 comments:
I may rarely comment - however your blog is my home page at work and on my laptop. I also beat Rachel for the first comment!
heeeheeeheeheee!
He did!
I'm sure you could get those gogo boots to fit SOMEHOW. Really.
I think I must block that your middle name is Michael. ;-)
Khaki? Really? Is that even a color or more of a condition.
There's nothing strange about liking the color orange. It is my absolute favorite color.
Also, I think it's funny that you would even THINK about being locked in a room with a box of anything...let alone two boxes of things! Who keeps bananas in a box anyway? (Unless you are using "banana" and "box" in a purely metaphorical sense. Sicko.) In any case, I hope I never meet anyone who has a box of spiders. BTW, whenever anyone asks me the gold vs. silver question, I always say platinum also. Aren't we clever??
