I’ll get back to you on that one.

I woke up BEFORE my alarm this morning. My thought was “hey, I woke up before my alarm.”

Good question. I never remember my last thoughts. I’m just awake, then I’m not. I really wish I could remember what the transition between concsiousness and dreaming was like. It must be fascinating.

Boxer briefs or just briefs. Full on boxers are annoying.
15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
One of my t shirts!
16. What errand/chore do you despise?

Drawn Together (a oh-so-wrong cartoon show)
30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?

Joss Whedon. I want to find out what the future of Firefly whould have been.
42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?

Almost.
