1. when i was 16, just before i left home, my best friend laura and i went into safeway and i bought a whole chicken. i made her drive up to a parked car. a man was sitting in the drivers seat, and i unwrapped the chicken and threw it at him! he was shocked and pissed. we sped off, and he tried to catch us on the highway, but we lost him.

to this day, that was one of the funnest days of my life! i have a few more tricks in my hat left!

2. the second best prank was after i left home, and i was living on the streets. we used to get free condoms all the time from planned parenthood or larkin street youth center. one of the guys we met up with had a bottle of nasty jeanate' lotion. we filled the condoms up with the lotion and threw them at people. one of the guys came up on a old man sitting at a bus stop and left one draped on this shoulder!

life was sweet in those days!

I wanna fly.

under my wheels while stationary, playing with their hopefully not
untimely demise.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
Tea and doughnuts

10. What was your best prank?
I prefer laughing at other people's pranks! Here's one I like. I used to work at Outback Steakhouse. We had styrofoam cups that everyone used for their own drinks (tables got glass but the ledge where our drinks hung out was above the ice area and we weren't allowed to have glasses up there for fear they'd fall into the ice, break and lacerate paying customers throats) Anyway, a woman I worked with named Laura was really a card. Once she de-pantsed this player we worked with. The player had a big boner at the time and she slipped and fell and almost lost an eye to the boner. Anyway! There was also this real christian, virginal, nice-beyond-belief guy working there. Laura would rip a small hole in the bottom of her styrofoam cup and be talking but holding the hole shut with her finger and pretending to drink. Then she'd turn to Christian 'n' Virginal and say "Holy shit! I just realized I have a table!" and hand him the cup and dash out of the kitchen. The cup would proceed to drizzle water on Christian 'n Virginal's shoes. Ah, good times.

4. How often do you cry? here & there, not daily, but probably one or twice a week, usually over something incredibly sappy.

5. What sounds annoys you the most? Easy, the call light beeping & tube system beeping at work. Let's just say that at work on halloween, I put fake blood coming out of my ears.

6. Do you like having your photo taken? No, not especially. I probably would if I didn't have a double chin & a dumb-ass look on my face in practically every picture ever snapped of me.

7. How do you handle conflict? Lately I have been alot more up front with people about conflicts. I find that there aren't nearly as many out here in the heartland as compared to my west coast home. Less drama altogether.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones? Hmmmm? How about coffee & scones?

10. What was your best prank? When my husband & I met, he had a bunch of roomates, one of them was an older guy who's porn we kept finding stashed in their apartment. One day we took one of those porn adverisement magazines filled with millions of really teeny lewd ads & cut them all out individually. We put ads everywhere... rolled up in his socks, in his slippers, in between the slices of bread, taped to medicine bottles and milk containers, in pockets, and in books. It was hysterical. I think he found them for months & we all laughed like crazy each time.
One more.... We do april fools pretty big at work. Last year we had a skeleton in one of the hospital rooms ( in isolation!!) we dragged all sorts of doctors & therapists in there.Made them all gown up.. FUNNY! This year we were in cahoots with a patient & we made a doctor think that his patient was probably going into cardiac arrest. He & another doctor ( who is also in on it) squabble over what action to take & finally when he is in the room, with his stethascope out... the patient winks at him & we spill it.

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?
To right injustices immediately. however, this sounds much too nerdy and self-righteous. So as a back up, teleportation sounds about right.

Yes.

3. Have you ever thrown anything in anger?
Yes. Not in awhile though.

4. How often do you cry?
Pretty often but not as much as I did when I was in a stressful job- back then, every week. And since I got pregnant, actually very little.

5. What sounds annoys you the most?
Styrofoam creaking.

6. Do you like having your photo taken?
Not really, I always hate how I look. So I take most of the photos in our family in order to not be in them.

Head on but not very well. I do immediately start crying when I get angry. I don't avoid conflict very well.

8. Are you neat or are you a slob?
Slob although I am better now than 15 years ago.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
Coffee and doughnuts. Although high tea is deliciously extravagant. Clotted cream...yuuuuum.

10. What was your best prank?
I can't think of any pranks!!! How sad. For all my teenage years I was a very very very good girl and never did anything that might get me in trouble. I have an ex-girlfriend who has the best prank stories....I'll tell you one of hers instead: she went to a Catholic school with nuns and all. One of the nuns had a big fish tank with lots of little goldfish. So one day my ex and her sidekick replaced all the little fish with one giant goldfish koi thing. Yes, she was a bit of a wild one!

1. Fly, of course.
2. Yes, I am definitely a good driver. Even my dh thinks so and he's picky about that.
3. Yes but only maybe once or twice when I was younger.
4. Lately a lot, you know, baby issues.
5. Fingernails on chalkboard. 2 year old on flutophone.

7. I used to just flat out avoid it. I am much better now, calm (usually) and try to be diplomatic about things.
8. Neatnik
9. Hmmmm...depends on what time of day. Morning C & D, afternoon T & S
10. My college roommate and I had a gumball machine. Nobody liked blue so whenever a blue came out we stuck it back in the top. Then she hid one in my drawer. I said nothing when I found it, just re-hid it in her shoe. She also said nothing, put it in my bathrobe pocket. It was so fun, we never mentioned it at ALL to each other, just kept re-hiding it. Of course I was starting to run out of ideas when I came up with a good one: I steamed open a packet of her instant oatmeal and put it in there then glued it shut again. When she found it that time, we finally broke our silence. She said I won.

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?

10. What was your best prank?
Hmmm. I don't know. I've had a few good ones. I once mostly convinced a group of friends that my friend A could drink milk with his penis. To the point where they were demanding he whip it out and show them. But we had no milk.
oh, and when I was a teenager we used to make stuff from trash and then add creamer and jam from dennys to it and then drop it off at urban outfitters as a fake display. Many of them lasted for weeks.

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be? to fly or like teleport (ie to cali with all my belongings so i don't actually have to move anything!!)

2. Do you think you are a good driver? people say i'm not, i have speeding tickets, but i haven't (knock on wood) been in an accident that was my fault!

3. Have you ever thrown anything in anger? oh yeah, the time i feel the worst about it was when dd was a tiny babe she was crying endlessly and i was really tired and i threw her bottle against the wall really hard, totally out of character for me to do that. she eventually stopped crying and we fell asleep but it was a rough night.

4. How often do you cry? hmm more lately, i guess i am heading into an emotional time, with moving and leaving my job etc. i cry as needed

just one?! i get annoyed at dd when she rambles on about things sometimes, doubley annoyed when it's paired with her bff those two girls can TALK!! listening to my FAX talk irritates the shit out of me b/c everything he says is bs! I also HATE the sound of my alarm clock in the middle of the day, it's a dreaded sound anyways but when i hear it on a commercial it really pisses me off!

6. Do you like having your photo taken? i don't mind most of the time

7. How do you handle conflict? by talking

She turns to her hubby and goes, this is exactly how shit went down in high school! I would do something stupid and rissa would suffer!!
it was a good laugh, i am sure dd though we were insane!

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?

Super strength or flying, I can't decide. Flying because I could go places quickly and easily; strength because I've always struggled with this IRL and it would be awesome to just *have* strength rather than strive for it all the time.

2. Do you think you are a good driver?

No. I speed. I tailgate. I don't always look where I'm going. I have recently been trying to become Kind Driver instead of Angry Driver. I succeed about 20% of the time.

hell yes. Not in a long time though. I'm not a fan of physical expression of anger so I would only do it if alone.

4. How often do you cry?

Once a week. Sometimes twice.

5. What sounds annoys you the most?

Chewing and swallowing. Especially the gulping. Those fucking ads they ran a few years ago for some drink that consisted of someone just grossly gulping made me turn off the TV.

7. How do you handle conflict?

I say what I'm feeling. I'm better at this than I used to be.

8. Are you neat or are you a slob?

Neat with special slob privileges in certain areas.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?

Tea and doughnuts.

10. What was your best prank?

For an old boyfriend who had a daughter, every Halloween I would carve 2 or 3 pumpkins super-elaborately. The night before halloween I would sneak over to their house in the middle of the night, light them on the doorstep, knock as hard as I could on the door, and run like hell. They never figured out who it was; I did it 3 years in a row. Too bad he was a raging a-hole abusive son of a bitch, and I wasted it on him. His daughter enjoyed it too, though, so I comfort myself with that.

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be? To fly

2. Do you think you are a good driver? If I am well rested...

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones? Coffee & Scones.

10. What was your best prank? Camping with a friend from IOWA on Salmon River here in Oregon. It was hot and I told her she should jump in the river to cool off. She did. It was just above freezing as it was run off from the glacier on the mountain. she came up sputtering and gasping. I thought it was funny anyway...

flying

oh yes. a toy at the floor and my fist (at the wall)
4. How often do you cry?
maybe once a week? seems about right
5. What sounds annoys you the most?
my toddler's teeth gritting as she gets all Lenny on her baby bro. this isn't exactly a sound, but nails snagging on socks (it's kind of a soft 'feeling-sound' [shudder]), when a toy is banged or played too repetitively and it crosses a line in my head
6. Do you like having your photo taken?
I don't mind. I like having the record

slob with occasionally bouts of neatness
9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
coffee and scones
10. What was your best prank?

Super Strength

2. Do you think you are a good driver?
Yes

Emergencies, I'm great at... Conflict, I hate, but I try my best to be flexible without compromising myself.

8. Are you neat or are you a slob?
NEAT

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
Neither really. Not a doughnut or scones person. Being pregnant, Im trying to not do any coffee. I do like chocolately coffee things with whipped cream though and have found a white tea blend at Teavanna called To Life that I love!

10. What was your best prank?
Don't think I've ever pulled a really good one. My mom is a much better and more enthusiastic prankster in the family

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?
I always wanted to fly, it's cliché I guess but that's what I would do

2. Do you think you are a good driver?
Yeah, well yes and no. I have my moments and sometimes I get so wrapped up and angry about other peoples' driving I don't pay as much attention to my own as I should (working on it).

3. Have you ever thrown anything in anger?
definitely. I had a bad temper, I am much more mellow now.

4. How often do you cry?
not too much. When I get really overwhelmed or anxious I cope by crying, or the week before my period

cracking knuckles, that's banned in my house.

6. Do you like having your photo taken?
when I am having a pretty day I don't mind but it does make me feel a little awkward

7. How do you handle conflict?
in IRL? I used to argue until whomever it was with backed down. Now I just discuss until it's resolved. Usually it's not too difficult because I have such a small circle of IRL friends and family and we tend to be on the same page about a lot of things, not too much conflict.

8. Are you neat or are you a slob?
I am neat I think, but not excessively so. I like a little clutter but I do a good deep clean in the house once a week.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
Coffee and Doughnuts!! I am not a tea person but I do like cranberry scones

10. What was your best prank?
oh not a prank person at all. I am a giggler so I blow it before it even gets started.

I am swisterland...switzerland? fuck it, I am swiss.

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?
Jedi mind control. Are Jedis superheroes?

2. Do you think you are a good driver?

Yes. More often out of frustration. Sometimes I throw socks and pillows at my stupid cats who make a lot of noise in the middle of the night.

4. How often do you cry?
Occasionally.

5. What sounds annoys you the most?
My baby's whining. I don't mind his crying, but the whining really irks me. Traffic, airplanes, helicopters (we live right by an airport), slamming doors, TV.

6. Do you like having your photo taken?
For family use, don't mind. For public use, no. I actively avoid it.

7. How do you handle conflict?
Head-on. Or through procrastination.

8. Are you neat or are you a slob?
Somewhere in-between.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
Coffee and scones. And doughnuts. And later tea. And cookies and egg sammiches. And maybe some strawberries and kiwi and baby butt.

10. What was your best prank?
Hmmm. My senior year in high school I snuck into a hotel's swimming pool area and dumped an extra large bottle of Dawn clear into the pool. Ecologically wise? No. Good revenge on the dumbass manager who dumped me? Yesssss.

I used to put barely opened packets of ketchup underneath public toilet seats so that when someone sat down, ketchup squirted on his or her booty. I don't do things like that anymore, and I really was/am immature. My husband is equally occasionally immature, so we keep each other in check. But whatever...we have hella fun.

1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?

I would like to absorb the powers of other super heroes and then be able to use them at will.

2. Do you think you are a good driver?

Yes.

Yes.

4. How often do you cry?

As needed.

5. What sounds annoys you the most?

Max's constant chattering.

6. Do you like having your photo taken?

Yes.

7. How do you handle conflict?

It depends on the situation. I like to be objective so usually need some time to get to that space before I can deal. Sometimes it takes a breath, sometimes weeks. Otherwise, I do get quite confrontational and emotional.

8. Are you neat or are you a slob?

Usually neat but have days of slobbery, too.

9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?

coffee and scones.

10. What was your best prank?

not really big on pranks - its hard for me to keep chill enough to pull one off.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)

1. Financial Independence. In this economy, that would be a super-power

2. Oh yeah, I have super awesome navigational skills too.

3. Yes, but not AT anyone.

4. Not too much these days. I cried a lot when I was pregnant, and after I had DS. Lord, I used to cry watching boy meets world... cory and topenga breaking up was gut wrenching HA! Motherhood has mellowed me out, so has Zoloft.

5. Mispronunciation of the word "Nuclear". When G-Dub says "Nuke-ya-lur" it makes me die a little inside

6. Only if I think I look cute that day

7. Eesh. I have a bad temper, and grew up with a woman who would say the meanest things in anger. So, I usually will say something like, "DH, I am very angry right now, and I need some time to myself to calm down before I can look at you." He listens now, but used to force the issue a lot, which led to a verbal beat down from me followed by tears and meltdowns. So we take a break, and when I've chilled out, we have nice talks. " When you do (or don't do) XYZ, it makes me feel ..." and then we talk about how to fix it and just do it. It usually ends with "I love you, and don't like feeling this way towards you, so lets not do this again." I know it sounds cheesy and brady bunch-ish, but it works for us.

8. Slob, but I try sooo hard to be neat. I've been fighting clutter for years, and never win.

9. Coffee and doughnuts for sure.

10. When I was in high school, I had a friend B who had a rubber chicken that he used to have hanging from his bookbag. My friend E and I abducted it, took fantastic ransom photos and had him going for a week trying to figure out who had it. We would put pics in his locker of it blindfolded or even tied up in the trunk of my car. When we finally gave it bavk, we framed a pic of E& Me "choking" the chicken for him for a keepsake.

Okay me first:
1. If you had a superhero power what would it be?
The power of speed, the ability to get things done quickly would be really helpful, since I hate housework.
2. Do you think you are a good driver?
I do, others disagree. I have a bit of a lead foot.
3. Have you ever thrown anything in anger?
Yes, weekly at least. Darn temper! The worst thing was when I threw a glass of iced tea at my mom.
4. How often do you cry?
Right now a few times a week, stress sucks!
5. What sounds annoys you the most?
The sound of people filing fingernails, sends me screaming.
6. Do you like having your photo taken?
I do, I love to be a ham, but I don't like the way I look so I tend to hide from the camera too.
7. How do you handle conflict?
Not well, I have to resolve things ASAP, so there is usually a big fight before its over.
8. Are you neat or are you a slob?
People think I am neat, but I am a secret slob.
9. Coffee and doughnuts or tea and scones?
Coffee and doughnuts, the more cream and sugar the better.
10. What was your best prank?
Once the summer after H.S. my friend and I covered someones car in plastic wrap at her job. We waited for her to get off work and discover it. She never did figure out that it was us. And her co-workers came to the rescue using a box cutter to help her. It was fun watching them though. She laughed so hard she was crying.
