We had our Beta initiation on Saturday and then of course, Erica, Dana, Kathy and I had a champagne celebration.
I've decided to use this post as an opportunity to answer V-Chip's questions. :)
1. Let's see $50 million...after charitable contributions...I would next buy myself a piano. Steinway Grand in White or Off-White. Then I'd buy myself the largest stuffed Winnie the Pooh I could find.
2. Yes, I've sent meals back before at restaurants. When I was in South Africa I ordered Impala curry. I thought Impala was a veggie, not a cute little fuzzy antelope. When the waiter saw my shoked look, he asked if I was a foreigner. I explained that all that aside, I was simply wacko. He took it away and brought me ostrich neck instead (which is yummy!)
3. No, I have never in my entire life shoplifted an item.
4. I have not yet been in a position where my best friend's SO (significant other) has hit on me. I have, however, found out on several occaisions that my SO was hitting on my best friend. This was a million years ago in high school. I of course turned to my other friends for consolation and advice. Then my friend beat the crap out of him!
5. My roommate and I share a laundry hamper. Every week, one of us does all of it. We alternate of course. I am more skilled than she, however, when it comes to folding, she's a champion.
6. Sexiest thing ever said to me...how about weirdest pick-up line? I've always been incredible gullible and I was explaining this to cute-Scottish-boy. I said to him "I believe anything I'm told." He responded: "Good, then I know you'll believe how sincere I am when I tell you that you have the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen."
7. I believe that men and women can be best friends with each other. Sometimes, sexual urges may exist, true. That can sometimes be a good thing. I hope that the person I marry some day will serve double duty as my best friend. Sometimes, these urges should be left ignored at the risk of destroying a friendship.
8. I have never been a victim of racial discrimination, however, trails of apartied still exist in South Africa and I was very uncomfortable noticing that I was being treated as "priviledged" because I am white. I was seated separately at restaurants and was given priority at shops, for example.
9. I suppose I'd date someone shorter than me, but I'm not very keen on it. I am 5 foot 1, so the prospect is extremely unlikely anyway.
10. Best date I've ever had? 5 hours at the National Gallery of Art (in New Zealand) to study one painting and write prose about it. It was a Creative Writing seminar that I was invited to attend as a young, published, writer. He came along for the duration and didn't complain for one second. 5 hours of silence surrounded by art. :)
Well, folks. I'm off for Turkey-Day. Have a good one. I have no email access until Sunday, so I'll "talk" to you guys when I get back.
David B. and V Chip, have a great week and stay out of trouble.
Love, Allison
