What's one thing you regret not doing?
Submitted by Mr. Nice.
Heh. Most of my regrets are about things I *have* done, not things that I didn't do!
What's the most klutzy thing you've ever done?
Submitted by Jecka.
Oh, there are so many. So, so many. But the winner might possibly be the time that I broke my thumb by slamming the car door on my own hand.
If you came with a warning label, what would it say?

"Please do not feed me."
Between being pre-diabetic and having several food intolerances - the worst of which is fructose intolerance - I've got a pretty restricted diet. Normally this doesn't bother me a bit, but this time of year is so food-oriented that it gets to be a bit of a pain having to explain to people why really I can't take "just one" of their yummy homemade cookies.
Followers of this here blog know that I've been on the hunt for some boots for quite a while. Indecision, unseasonably warm Southern California weather, and lack of disposable income have kind of put the actual acquisition process on hold.
Waiting is sometimes a good thing, though, because during that waiting period I managed to find these - on sale - on the Sundance Catalog website. They're by Camper, from - gasp, the horror! - last season, and available in my size. I just need for them to remain in stock until next payday, and with luck, they will be mine.
What is your favorite scent?
Submitted by Erinen.
Coffee. Mmmmmm, coffee.
That's what I'm having fantasies of - a day in which I have nothing else to do other that stay home, clad in pajamas, watching old movies and ignoring all of my grown-up responsibilities.
Yeah. That'll happen.
Regardless, I've been perusing the Nick & Nora PJ's at Target, and have come up with a few favorites: Parisian Poodles, Milk Bone, and Christmas ornaments. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the Poodles that go into my shopping cart.
Do you remember your first flight? Where did you go? Why?
Submitted by Laurel.
Oh yeah - Disneyland!! It was my birthday gift the year I turned 7. My parents and I flew from SFO to the OC. This was back in the days when kids were given little pilot's wings badges, and you got real service rather than the bus-in-the-sky treatment they give you now.
I loved every minute of it, and adored flying for years. Don't know what happened, but at some point in my mid-twenties, my claustrophobia started to kick into high gear the minute I board a plane.
New at Zappos from Camper - possibly the cutest shoe they've ever made! I probably won't be getting these, because I know from past experience that this Camper style is too narrow and too flat for me. If I had unlimited funds, though, I'd probably click right here and buy them right now, just to admire the cuteness in person. I mean, how can you not smile when looking at a pair of Mary Janes embellished with a clothesline? Too, too cute.
What is your earliest memory?
Submitted by Megan.Disobedience: being about a year old and jumping up and down on a cushion that was on the floor in our living room. My dad said, "Be careful, you'll fall" and I kept right on jumping - and yeah, you know the rest!
What was your very first job?
Submitted by Laurel.
Cashier at Uwajimaya in Seattle, the summer after 8th grade. The ID was hella seedy back then, so it was quite an education. I didn't care, though, because I worked a 40-hour week and made a whopping $2.35 an hour, which was minimum wage at the time - and I felt positively rich.
Unfortunately, by summer's end I got fired because I wasn't cheerful enough.
