figure skating in the winter and gymnastics in the summer. not that i have any talent for either of these things....

Q2: Do you use fabric softener when you do laundry? If so, do you prefer the liquid kind that gets added to the wash, or are you more of the sheet type which gets added to the laundry as it goes into the dryer?

Q3: Are there any foods that are widely held as being common everyday eats which you've never been able to bring yourself to try even once?

there are lots of "conventional" foods that i don't eat. i have never tried olives or tuna - they both give me the heeby-jeebies.

Q4: Which would you prefer... to be rich beyond your wildest imagination... as famous as anyone dead or alive... or as powerful as the most influential person you can think of?

definitely rich beyond my wildest imagination. and then i can buy the fame and power :)
