1. Do you have a low startle point? No, I'm quite a placid kinda chap.
2. Are you as bad as Jack is at cooking? I hate cooking with a passion, mainly 'cause I'm so bad at it.
3. Ever shot an elk or other animal? Do spiders count? Spiders come straight from the Stygian Pit of Hell and should all be sent back there - DOA!
4. Was your dad right? What my Dad was, was an absolute sweetheart. He was a dear, sweet, gentle man. It was my mother who was always right!
5. Ever drunk whiskey straight out of the bottle? I'm not fond of whiskey, but after seeing Brokeback Mountain, I made a valiant effort to acquire a taste for it, because I wanted so much to be like Jack & Ennis. Nearly made myself sick! It's still in the cupboard!
6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire? Yes, and I was lying beside a really cute guy, too! Alas, there were also about 20 other kids snoozing around that campfire at the time!
7. Ever lived in an apartment above a laundromat (or other retail establishment)? No, but if I did, I would have decorated it beautifully and made it look very chic! More importantly, I would have arranged for a tradesman to move the hot-water tank out of the living room!
8. Are you as good a horseback rider as Lureen -- or can you stay on the horse, anyway? I have taken riding lessons and can ride okay, but I'm not as good as Lureen. Or Ennis, for that matter!
9. Do you know someone named Jack? Yes. His name is Jack Twist and you can see his photo throughout my apartment.
10. Ever contacted a romantic partner via postcard? Alas, no, I'm strictly an e-mail kinda gal!
11. Do you ever bring home freshly caught fish? Yes. Fish I've freshly caught myself from the supermarket.
12. Are you worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff? I'm at least as bad as Jack and very probably worse than Bobby. Especially my keys (I've never lost my blue parker, though).
13. Ever socialized with the fire-and-brimstone crowd? Not any more.
14. Would somebody looking around your home comment that you need more furniture? Less is more! I could probably do with less.
15.. Do you watch TV during dinner? Always! But I never watch football during dinner! And I prefer to watch the ice-skating after dinner!
16. Ever used an electric knife? Never! When my mama spends 4 hours preparing a turkey, I like to carve it by hand!
17. Did you pledge Tri Delt -- or some other sorority or fraternity? I don't recall anyone in Brokeback Mountain, book or film, attending university?!
18. Do you remember (or know) how it is, being broke all the time? I do remember what it was like to be broke. Fortunately, however, I didn't have child support to pay.
19. Did your mother keep your bedroom the way it was when you were a kid? Weirdly, yes, she did. My old bedroom was always referred to as the spare room after I left home, but it looked spookily just the way I'd left it.
20. Have you ever scattered someone's ashes? No, but I would consider it a great honour and privilege to do so.
