Building A Better Mouse Trap

Some new questions from Cheddar X...

1. What does party mean to you? (i.e. when you go and get your party on, what does that mean?)
It means the following:
I will be up late, as in last call and beyond.
I will laugh a lot and talk about everything under the sun...
...because I will in the company of very dear and (though not always) very old friends.

Over the past five years this has usually meant I'm attending a wedding.

2. What was the first thing you thought or said when you saw your significant other for the first time?
Well, for starters this position is currently vacant.

As for what I thought when I first saw my last significant other*, suffice it to say that I did a doubletake. The rest is none of your business.

3. Do you talk to yourself? Why?
Yes, because I no longer have a dog at home to serve as a captive audience.

4. What's been your biggest personal change in the last ten years?
Coming to terms with the loss of loved ones. I still grieve.

5. What are you most looking forward to?
Currently? This weekend: the first Red Sox-Yankees series of the season - at home - plus our monthly game of Texas Hold 'Em poker.


*Incidentally I hate that word; it's so impersonal sounding. I mean for chrissake the Mach Five could be my 'significant other' - it is 'significant' (I do need to drive places, like work) and it's definitely an 'other.'
