1. What kind of lip balm do you use?
At my desk at work, I have about nine different tubes of tinted lip gloss, not to mention some tubes in my car, on my keyboard at home, stuffed in various bags and purses, etcetera. I will tell you my favorite, though — Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer in the nutmeg color. It’s got peppermint oil in it and makes my lips all tingly as well as shimmery.
2. Do you wear sunblock everyday?
I don’t go near the sun — I’m Irish. I practically get freckles through my jackets! Until they make an SPF 420, nothing would be strong enough to protect me.
3. Have you ever had your eyelashes tinted?
Nope. But I do use volumes of jet-black mascara.
4. Do you drink diet beverages?
Pretty much exclusively. I’m chugging a Diet A&W right now. That’s to make up for the ice cream addiction.
5. What’s your favorite Girl Scout Cookie?
Tagalongs — I *~*heart*~* chocolate and peanut butter.
6. Do you like to get dressed up for formal events?
Oh hell yeah. I have dresses with tags on them, just waiting for an event to surface. Like I wouldn’t use that as an excuse, though, to go out shopping for something new. Look, I hate dressing up for work, and I love my jeans and trendy T-shirts, but I absolutely adore pulling out all the stops to look fabulous for a big event.
7. Do you sing in the shower?
I think you’d better ask my neighbors that one. 😉 Wait — don’t! I LOVE to belt out tunes in the shower as well as in the car (preferably with the sunroof and other windows open).
8. How did Katie Holmes get all those nasty sores on her mouth?
Girlfriend is LYIN’ about being a virgin — she probably found herself a nice tranny in a club like all the stars seem to be doing these days. (*cough cough Tommy Lee cough cough*)
9. If you could go back in time to live in any historical period, which one would you choose?
Back? Oh HELL no — I want to go to the future. UNLESS … I would want to emerge as a writer around the time of Anais Nin and Henry Miller — I’d want to be in Paris with them (or maybe even Ernest Hemingway) — back when all the “great” writers (in my opinion) emerged. Back before everyone was a publisher (e.g., on the Web), there were amazing writers who chose their words with care because all they had were cranky typewriters and diaries — no white out, no delete key, no automatic grammar/spell check.
10. Ask your own question
Dawn, your birthday’s coming up. What kind of cake do you like?
Mmm, cake. I love cake with white batter. Not yellow batter. Not marble batter. Not chocolate/devil’s food — I hate them all. I only love white cake. If it’s almond-flavored, then all the better. Throw in some strawberries or raspberries or chocolate sauce, then all right. As far as icing, I do not discriminate — I love buttercream or whipped chocolate to complement my white cake. Hell, I can live without the cake if I can just have a vat of icing.
