The devil is in the details

I like stealing

Stolen from Jolene who stole it from Badger all in the house that Jack built. Except that then I sat on it as a half-finished draft for a day, and now it's like I'm stealing it from everyone. Oh well, maybe I'll learn not to procrastinate.

1. What is your first name?

Brianne

2. Were you named after anyone?

I don't know if I was named after her per se (as in named to honor her greatness), but my dad got the idea for my name from the actress Brianne Leary , who was on CHiPs at the time.

3. Do you wish on stars?

Sometimes when Jiminy Cricket shows up.

4. When did you last cry?

Yesterday, thanks to my dad. (Cross-post number 1)

Yes. I have pretty handwriting.

Turkey. Kinda boring, I admit.

7. What is your most embarrassing CD?

I don't really have any CDs that I'm embarrassed by, but mp3s are another story...

Maybe. If both of the mes were in a friendly mood.

I don't know, do I?

10. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Who, me? Sarcastic? I don't know what you're talking about.

11. What are your nicknames?

Other than the whole Immunegirl/Iggy/Germbabe thing? Bree and any derivatives of it you can come up with. You'll think of the obvious ones, don't worry. (And no, you may not refer to me as "Cheese". Only JP can do that, because she's JP.)

12. Would you bungee jump?

Sure, if I were at a reputable bungee jumping establishment with good equipment and a good setup. I like skydiving, so it'd be the same deal.

Negative.

Negative.

Mint Chocolate Chip. Or any kind with sprinkes on it.

Red, only because I don't do pink.

Diet Coke, a Manhattan or a Cosmopolitan.

30. Favorite Sport?

I enjoy playing field hockey a lot, though I haven't played in ages. Maybe I should start again. Hmmm.

I love to watch college basketball, and any football or baseball. Oh...and hockey. I forgot about hockey since it was gone for so long.

43. What Books Are You Reading?

I started a whole bunch of books at once: The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman, State of Fear by Michael Crichton, The Case for Faith by Lee Stroebel, and Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I've pretty much put all of them down except for Wicked, because it is just so captivating. I am enjoying it very much and I may read Mirror, Mirror and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister before going back to the other ones. Before I started this group of books, I read Freakonomics, which I also liked very much.
