1. First name: Kathleen
2. Were you named after anyone? Oddly enough, I was named after Eldridge Cleaver’s wife . . . my dad and his family was pretty hardcore into the movement in the late 60’s/early seventies. My mom approved because it was still a nice, normal Catholic name.
.3. Do you wish on stars? All the time.
4. When did you last cry? Last night, in utter frustration at the juxtaposition of the problems of two friends of mine.
5. Do you like your handwriting? Yes! My mom made me practice my cursive for hours when I was little, so darn right I’m proud of it. But besides me and my mom, everyone else in my family writes in a horrible, unintelligible scrawl, (including my husband.) I think my mom got tired after working so hard on me . . .
6. What is your favorite lunch meat? Ham! Especially with swiss cheese, lettuce tomato and a Dijon mustard on toasted bread.

16. What was your favorite toy as a child? My stuffed monkey, Leroy, that my Grandpa Henry gave me when I was 3 years old.

17. What class in high school do you think was totally useless? Geometry . . . they really need to figure out a better way to teach kids those horrible theorems and proofs . . . I understood proofs a hundred times better when I took a Philosophy class in Logic.
18. Do you have a journal? I have many lovely bound journals that only have a few pages written in each of them.

Kath,
Three things:
1. I agree, Geometry - totally useless for me, I remember nothing!
2. Dr. Pepper is my favorite drink also, why don't more people get the great taste of the doc?
3. I loved that movie Celeste in the City - too cute! Those ABC Family movies are fairly cheesy but always feel-good. You gotta see the one where the girl is looking for a date for her cousin's wedding, forgot the name, but it stars Charisma Carpenter from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," I watched it while in Denmark (yup they get the ABC Family channel out there) - so sweet!

I'm so glad to find someone else who likes those ABC Family Channel movies . . . Did you see "Picking Up and Dropping Off"? Unfortunately, I am still quite the Scott Wolf fan from "Party of Five" . . . they also had this odd Christmas movie with Andy Dick that I just LOVED, but they didn't show it this past year. :(
I did see "Picking up and Dropping off!" That was cute. I like that girl from Ally McBeal. I also liked the movie with Jason Priestly, with the Bachelor set-up. It was so romantic. Oh did you ever see the one with Kristen Davis (from Sex in the City) at Christmas time, where her husband gets a wish to go back and tell her he loves her and change destiny. It is so sweet. I too am glad to find someone else who likes ABC Family movies 8-)
