From Dick, via Meg.
I drive...
a sweet black Subaru coupe. (Covered in paw prints.)
If I have time to myself...
I relax, become inspired, creative, a night owl.
You wouldn't know it but I'm very good at...
1. cooking.
2. lifting heavy things.
3. touching my toes.
4. giving back rubs.
5. decorating in a way that makes people comfortable and happy.
I'm no good at...
1. math.
2. remembering movies or names.
3. public speaking.
4. parties.
5. men.
A book that changed me...
every book changes me a little, I think. But especially: The Bean Trees and Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver; Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins; Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson; The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf; The Evolution of International Human Rights by Paul Lauren; the Norton Shakespeare.
Movie heaven...
my bed, a stack of DVDs and the remote, a rainy day and snuggling kitties.
Comfort eating...
macaroni and cheese, chicken and dumplings, Chinese or Thai noodles, fried oysters and french fries with extra tartar sauce, ice cream, chocolate, popcorn. And now that Krispy Kreme has opened in Missoula, hot fresh glazed doughnuts.
When I was a child, I wanted to be...
a doctor, a veterinarian, a horse breeder/trainer, an actress/model, a hairstylist, a photographer.
All my (spare) money goes on...
clothes and books.
At night I dream of...
scary bathrooms.
My favourite building...
the log cabin I live in; the dream house I've designed in my head.
My biggest regret...
at 18, I moved in with my boyfriend instead of going to Evergreen College.
If I wasn't me I'd like to be...
fabulously beautiful, strong, fit, confident and rich.
My favourite work of art...
the Elly Simmons print, "Woman Series #1," that hangs over my bed. I also really admire a lot of the greats, like Michelangelo, Picasso, Van Gogh, Rubens, Renoir. And ancient art, like petroglyphs and goddess figurines. And so many photographs.
The soundtrack to my life...
eclectic. Too many songs to fit on one CD.
The best invention ever...
language, music, human rights, cameras, computers.

Missoula has Krispy Kreme now? Damn, those donuts are evil.
Yep, it opened last Thursday in the Lowe's parking lot (across from Costco).
Patia, you are beautiful!
Umm, thank you.
You are everything in "If I wasn't me, I'd like to be....."
OK, stop it.
I had no idea you were rich!;)
I don't think I am, but I guess it's all relative. I am rich compared to many, many in this world.
I agree with anonymous, Patia, in spades. Also, I shelved a copy of The Beauty Myth just yesterday. I suppose I should look it over, now that you mention it. My favorite Shakespeare is the old hardcover Pelican.
A great read. But these scary bathrooms - we need to know more. And you ducked the soundtrack question. Share a few tracks.
