8. Tattoos: No, I�m too much of a sissy. A long time ago I wanted to get a Quetzal (the national bird of Guatemala) spanning across my shoulders but it would have been way too expensive. I�ve thought about getting �mami� tattooed on my shoulder to freak my mom out.

9. How much do you love your job on a scale of 1-10: Right now is a bad time to ask. Sometimes it�s a 9, (it�s a job, it can never be a 10, really) and sometimes it�s a 1.

16. Been in a car accident: Yes, twice. One time some dumb bitch pulled away from the curb as I was passing and then another time some dumb bitch changed lanes without checking her mirror. The second dumb bitch is me...

17. Croutons or bacon bits? Bacon bits. Croutons cut the roof of my mouth too much (Hey! I already admitted I was a sissy).

37. Pet Peeves: other people�s body heat on chairs or seats; when people younger than me, my age or less than 10 years older than me call me pet names like �sweetie� or �honey�, people who never take responsibility for their actions, pretty much everything drives me up the wall if I�m hungry.
