1. How many clowns would it take to freak you out?
I'm not sure. A huge crowd of clowns might, but I might also be laughing my ass off. I like clowns - I think it comes from knowing a few. They're all very sweet, somewhat socially ineffective, cool people.

2. What is your favorite card game?
I like solitaire, and I like dealing blackjack. I don't know many card games.

3. Are the undies you're wearing right now age appropriate?
Is "none" age appropriate?

4. Five things you can touch right now without getting up.
My wine spritzer, social work class notes, tweezers, the bowl of hair goodies, and one of my hats.

5. You have to be somewhere on the fourth floor of a building. Do you take the lift/elevator?
Yes. Just... yes.

6. How do you feel about your reflection?
I put up with me many days. I've tried to start the habit of looking at myself in the mirror and saying "I love you". It's making a difference.

7. What are you thinking about right now?
The movie _Very Young Girls_. It is a documentary about sex trafficking of young girls in Socal(?), and focusing on a program that helps... GEMS. It's... it's rough. I suggest watching it.

8. Write the first word that comes to mind.
Cervix. (Wha????)

9. Dog person or cat person?
Cats, but I like dogs (gogs) too.

10.If you came across $2,000 (or other currency) would you keep it or turn it in?
Oh man... I'd keep it. I'd probably just hold onto it for a while, figure out if there was someone I could return it to, and then use it to pay rent and bills.

11.What was the last thing that you bought?
One of the glass bottled yerba mate flavored teas.

12.If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Scotland.

13.Where do you see yourself in five years?
With my Master's, planning program running and writing grants.

14.Last book you've read?
_Altars in the Street_.

15.What are you doing this weekend?
Chandra's bridal shower, maybe the Second Wind tobacco cessation program training, homework, and drinking.

16.If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
The Cello. If I every pick up an instrument, that's what it'll be. They're beautiful, sexy, deep, incredible sounds from incredible instruments.

17.How are you?
Frustrated, stressed, trying to get over it.

I adore the cello! Have you ever heard David Darling play? He was with the Paul Winter Consort for a long time. He's amazing!
Looking in the mirror and saying "I love you," is something that I probably should have been doing all my life. It's a hard lesson for me to learn.
SoCal Sex trafficking of young girls? Egads! Right now, I don't think my head could handle that. I'm so upset just thinking about it!

I haven't, but now I can look him up!

Telling yourself, to your face, that you love yourself /is/ a very difficult thing to do, no doubt. The rewards are worth it though. I also had to get over feeling like I was doing some useless feel good hippy crud.

Social Work classes are filled with difficult concepts. Average age of a female when she enters prostitution is 13.... I don't know how we, as a species, get to the point where we're so hurtful to eachother.

Oh man, I saw that movie. It takes place in New York, if I remember correctly. Such an eye-opening movie. :(

You're probably correct, and I should have IMDBd it. For me, very little of the pure data was new, but the voice and visuals were.

I'd been aware of sex trafficking in the US, but not to the extent; nor had I knowledge of the ages (13!) or mindsets of the victims involved.
