William Teach over at Pirate’s Cove got this survey from the Right Thinking Girl. It’s her Weekend Survey #10, and after reading William’s answers, I thought I’d jump on and write a few of my own.

1. If you were a writer, what kinds of books would you write? I would team up with somebody and do a collaborative effort that would involve some research. Like a book on the communist background of the ACLU…or something like Dog Herding.

2. Do you expect to ever be famous in your lifetime? No, not for anything I’ve personally done. My family was famous in my hometown, we’re an old money family…if you can imagine living in the house your dad was born in, that had a library, a north and south Terrace with a breakfast room and a Dining room…that was the house I grew up in. I’ve learned that material things come and go, and you should try to maintain good relationships with your family and your friends, because those are what really matter. A car, a big house, flashy jewelry, fancy vacations, they’re not really important.

3. Say something liberal. Bushitler! Fascist! Stop spreading hate! Bush lied while men died! No WMD! No blood for oil! Oh. Do you mean I’m supposed to say something liberal and mean it? Impossible.

4. Say something conservative. Our elected officials should go back to being honorable people (like the founders) who followed a moral code, and we should flush the idea that lying liars are acceptable in government.

5. What did you dream about last night? I am on this simpler things in life kick so…I was riding a horse, believe it or not…and some guy was talking to me with an Alabama accent.

6. What have you read this week? Include everything: magazines, emails, blogs, books, etc. 100’s of work and personal emails, quite a bit of research material on the ACLU, went to Amazon and ordered some books, South Park Conservatives by Brian Anderson. Every blog on the TWA blogroll at least once. I can’t seem to slow down enough to read a book from cover to cover. Lots of news sites, and also, did some research on Google bias and bias in the media for Gregory Nashif at the Nashif Report. Travel itineraries for the people I work for, and lots of work related documents, including the new T&E policy that will be instituted pretty soon.

7. Tell me about your worst date ever. I was young, what can I say? I was dating a beautiful man..I think I was about 18. We went out–3 of us, which was really weird, to an Andy Warhol movie. We’d been drinking, and it was a really weird movie. It was appalling and after a point, I threw up. What’s worse is after I threw up, my date tried to put the moves on me. yech! I am not kidding. The name of the movie was Flesh for Frankestein. This film had everything…incest, gore, necrophelia, children exposed to deviant sex acts, children mimicking deviant sex acts…it’s no wonder I threw up.

8. Name three of your bad habits and three of your good habits. Smoking, losing track of time on the computer, not spending enough time cleaning. I am a very loyal friend, a good cook, and love to read–everything. But somebody else should take care of the dishes, lol…

9. Tell me something you’re very proud of. My sons and my marriage. I guess that boils down to: my family.

10. Give me a piece of wisdom that I should pass on to Parker Grace (who is now twelve weeks old). Pick your battles.
