20 Questions
How old do you feel? I feel older than my 33 years. Mentally and spiritually, I feel in my 50’s or 60’s because I think about death and dying and what I’ve done with my life and if I would do anything differently. Physically, I’d say late 30’s.

What is your favorite shape? Shape? I like princess cut diamonds – that’s the shape that’s caught my eye lately. :-P
What color do you feel represents you? Gray or green – kind of understated, nothing flashy, and goes well with khakis.
Would you rather be honest and poor, or a liar and rich? Jeez, what’s with the black and whites of the world? There must be an in-between….
What is your ideal ice cream creation? Take my Starbuck’s mocha and put it with vanilla ice cream, with more chocolate in it.

What item could you not go without during the day? Coffee.
Do you consider yourself smart? I’m book smart. My friends laugh, though, because I’m not always “street smart”.
How old were you when life was the hardest?. Early 20’s. As my grandma used to say, “I didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out”. It wasn’t that bad, but just financially tough.
Is there anything you have to do every day? Tinkle.

Which of your five senses would you give up? Smell (although taste goes when smell goes, so really it’s like giving up two senses).

Erik and I both like to play Settlers -- we'll have to have a Settlers night sometime.
Tessence - I'd love to have you guys over. We'll have to work out a good time. :-)
Storm - I am remembering all the crazy country song lyrics - it was the first thing that came to my mind. :-P
Very fun. Thanks for sharing.
Isn't it amazing that once we hit 30, going out and putting up with loud, abnoxious people loses our interest?
Kari - I stole this from Storm's blog, so feel free to lift it from mine. :-)
TSHS - My tolerance level has decreased considerably. :-P
Dadog - Those are my good points - you've not seen my worst traits. People always look good on paper. ;-)
I like your answer for the perfect shape. I like princess cut diamonds, too. Though, I would have guessed your color as a robin's egg blue, calming and comfy like a soft place to land.
Angel - I almost said "blue" for my color because it is my favorite, but I'm not always a calming influence. :-P
Dadog - I don't even DO yardwork (but still manage to end up stinky at the end of the day). :-P
What do you believe is the meaning of life? To do the best you can with what you’ve got and to make a difference in this world.
That's pretty cool.
What is your favorite thing to cook? I like to BBQ, but unfortunately I don’t have a BBQ yet.
You'll need to visit us in Chico sometime. Come up in the Spring when it's nice. We have fat bar-be-ques with lots of people over. Good conversation, good company, and surprisingly, light drinking.
What dead person would you want to meet? Monet – I love impressionism.
I used to hate impressionism until I saw it in real life at an exhibit recently in Santa Barbara. I didn't realize that you have to see it in real life to really appreciate it. I was looking up close and some lady told me to back up. I backed up and my jaw dropped. Now I like it.
Who do you dislike most in the world? Idiotic drivers.
Me too. I've been meaning to post about idiotic drivers. Just haven't yet.
What is your ideal ice cream creation? Take my Starbuck’s mocha and put it with vanilla ice cream, with more chocolate in it.
Sounds yummy. I like crunchiness too. Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk. That's my fav, so it would be similar to that or yours.
Would you rather spend the night out or in? In my twenties, I’d have said “out”. Now that I’m over 30, “in”.
Feel the same way. Love it when people come over for bar-be-ques, which I guess is easy on us. I just cook the other stuff, then throw the marinated meat on the grill when the people start arriving. But there's nothing like a night with me and Mrs. Z after Junior's gone to sleep.
ZS - That sounds like fun. How far is Chico from San Jose? I have not posted on idiotic drivers either because I could go on and on. :-P
i am so going to copy you on my blog! great idea! and very informative!
Bert - Go for it. :-)
