Probably Italian. I also love sushi and Indian food. My standard go-to choice meal is mostly Italian though.


5. Favorite beverage?

Lately it's flavored seltzer. I love diet coke but I'm trying to cut down, and I figure it's healthier than soda. Other than that, I usually just stick with plain ol' water.

6. If you could only eat one kind of cereal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

This is hard because I love all cereal. I guess it depends on what mood I'm in. Cheerios (plain) or Lucky Charms, probably.

7. What book have you read the most times?

I don't like rereading books. I can watch movies over and over again but I don't like reading the same book twice.

8. Favorite TV channel?

Probably HGTV. I suppose next up is either ABC and CNN. I sound like such a bore!

9. Favorite movies?

Most chick flicks like Serendipity, When Harry Met Sally, and Hope Floats, among others.

10. What Hollywood star would play you in a movie about your life?

Um, I'm not sure. Nikki Blonsky maybe, but I wouldn't call her a "star." She was in the updated version of Hairspray.

11. Which single store would you choose to max out your credit cards?

Crate and Barrel or Macy's.

12. Would you be willing to sing karaoke with me?

Sorry, but I have stage fright. I'd happily watch you though!

I have a few but one of them is definitely Hawaii. I've never been but it's on my list of places I want to see before I die.

14. What is your favorite article of clothing?

Yoga pants and a comfy t-shirt or sweats, if I'm lounging around at home.

15. What is your favorite song playing on the radio right now?

Can't think of one. The stations where I live kind of suck. ETA: I love the Fray, so probably something by them.

16. Do you need coffee in the morning to be a tolerable human being?

Nope. I like it but I try not to have it often.

17. Can you cook? If so, what's your best dish?

Kind of, meaning I can follow a recipe, but I'm horrible at shopping and whipping up something with what I've bought. I can make a good lasagna and a good pork tenderloin though. I didn't inherit great cooking skills, sadly.

18. What is your favorite sports team? What sports team do you hate the most?

I'm not too into sports but I'll plug the Boston/New England teams. In terms of what sports I like most, I like basketball because it's fast-paced and easy to follow/understand. I like the idea of watching football but I just don't get it. I can't stand boxing or wrestling. Did I actually answer the question?

19: What is your favorite board game?

Probably Trivial Pursuit.

20: How many more hours a day would you have if you had never discovered PS?

Many more than I have now!

ETA: 21. I love 3 stones, swoopy prongs, and trellis settings, and it's what I have now, actually. I'd probbly stick with that but I'd upgrade to larger stones. I also love the idea of the Tiffany jazz band or a cushion cut (maybe with pave, maybe not). So many choices though!! Oh wait, then there are sapphires! I'd probably choose a blue-violet/color change sapp.
