1.- Did you ever wear jeans that had fashionable holes all over them?

I have a few holes in some of my jeans, but I earned them.

2.- Did you ever wear flannel shirts with hoods on them on top of a T-shirt?

No.

3.- Did you ever shave your head just for the heck of it?

No, that's just not me. I have hated my hair enough to wish I could just shave my head, but my face is too round for that look.

4.- Did you get your nose pierced?

Uh, no.

5.- Did you ever own a CD of one of the following: Ace of Base? Vanilla Ice? MC Hammer? Hanson? The Spice Girls? Crash Test Dummies? Alanis Morrissette? Bryan Adamms? Ricky Martin? Ice T? Kris Kross? Billy Ray Cyrus? Snap?

I did own a Bryan Adams CD. I confess.

6.- Did you own the soundtrack of one of the following: "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"? "The Bodyguard"? "Tresspass"? "Singles"? "Reality Bites"? "Last Action Hero"? "Natural Born Killers"? "The Crow"? "Pulp Fiction"? "Poetic Justice"? "Clueless"? "Titanic"? "Spawn"? "The Simpsons Sing the Blues"?

Not a one of them.

7.- Did you ever own a copy of one of the following books: Madonna's "Sex"? "The Celestine Prophecy"? The transcript of Bill Clinton's sex scandal interrogation? A generic John Grisham book published after "The Firm" was a big-screen hit?

I may have purchased one John Grisham after "The Firm", but I don't remember for sure. They're not something you'd remember. Certainly haven't bought any of his latest.

8.- Which of the following did you see more than once at the theatre: "Home Alone", "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King", "Independence Day", "Titanic", "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace"?

Jurassic Park, Baby! I'd see it again today in the theatre!

9.- Scandal you paid the most attention to: The Menendez Brothers, Tonya Harding, OJ Simpson, David Koresh, the Fillipino Hermafrodite who turned out being just a guy, the Heaven's Gate cult, Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky, Richard Gere & the Gerbil?

I guess OJ Simpson. Since I figured BC wouldn't tell the truth, why pay attention to it. The whole thing was just too Jerry Springer white trashy to follow. I never even heard of the Filipino hermaphrodite. Darn, that sounded interesting.

10.- Admit it: the very first thing you looked up on the internet was...

I have no memory at all about it. I would guess it would have to be work related though. I'm constantly looking up stuff on the internet for work.

11.- Admit it: at one point, even for a very brief nanosecond, you thought that Axl Rose (or Slash) was the coolest guy on Earth.

HEY! Axl is the man! I love GNR.

12: Which hit show did you watch on a regular, almost religious basis: "Roseanne", "Seinfeld", "The Simpsons", "Beavis and Butthead", "The X- Files", "Friends", "South Park"?

Seinfeld, eventually X Files - though it took me a little while to get into that show, started watching with the Stephen King episode.

13: Did you ever dye your hair a very bright color?

I did put a blue streak in for a party one time; I think that counts.

14: Did you ever do Ecstacy?

No, and TCP, stop that! You're too bright for that sort of thing, and you know it!

15: Admit it: at one point you watched "The Pamela and Tommy Lee Sex Tape" and/or Madonna's "Body of Evidence".

Not even.

16: Did you ever wear baggy sweatpants and flashy-colored jackets, thinking you looked just like a hip-hopper on Mtv, or at least like Kid n' Play?

No. Would never even have crossed my mind.

17: Did you at any point do the whole "Hip-Hop Hooray" wave thing, or the Arsenio Hall "whoop-whoop-whoop" thing?

Never.

18: Did you ever wear 70s-style clothes?

Yes, during the whole of the 70's. After that, I figured, if you wore it the first time around, you're too old to wear it this time around.

19: Did you ever say "DISCO IS BACK!"?

Not once.

20: Did you ever line dance or do the Macarena?

Again, not once; I polka!

21: Did you ever have a bumper sticker that read: "We Support Our Troops in the Gulf War" or "Buy American"?

I do not support bumper stickers.

22: "Read my lips: No New Taxes" or "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?

I am not a crook.

23: Did you like techno-pop? Did anyone?

I know people who know people who did, or is that an urban legend?

24: Were you, in any manner, ever "alternative"?

Alternative to what?

Let's see what I remember about the others.

I hate furbys. NIN was great for a while. Grunge killed big hair & spandex, so I should hate it, but I liked it anyway. My wardrobe is a lot of basic black, so what can I say there? It looks cool yet professional without even trying.
