Age: a) 15-20 b)20-30 c)30-50 d) 50 plus b. 33. 2. Male or Female? female 3. Coupled up or Single? partner is an ozkin, bicontinental coupling (can't do *anything* conventionally) 4. Republican, Democrat, In Between? democrat 5. Children? 10 and eleven twelvths y/o son (at that age it counts, dammit!) - 5 pts delightful to 1 pt baffling 6. Favorite Music Genre? Folk; classical right behind. 7. Do you prefer reading fiction, or non fiction? (Feel free to list any titles/authors that interest you.) Fiction. 8. If you have a choice, will you email someone, or call them? (Which medium do you prefer - zapping communication across the net, or voice to voice via the phone?) For communicating with those in my world who appreciate a good turn of phrase/word play, I prefer email. For my own clarity, I prefer email. For being able to swear and vent and *see* it written, I prefer email. For making plans to hit the Farmer's Market on Saturday, I dial the phone. 9. What magazine are you most likely to page through while sitting in the waiting room at your dentist's office? A. Cosmo B. National Geographic C. Newsweek D. People E. Hunting and Fishing F. You are mortally afraid of the dentist and can't sit still long enough to read any stupid magazine. E. To satisfy the testosterone imbalance in me. -and- A. What can I say, I am mesmerized by sparkly things 10. If you could be a part of any decade from the past, which would you choose? (Or if you were a part of a past decade, would you go back to any particular one?) Hmm. I've always fancied myself a Diplodicus-looking creature. As long as we're not looking for cut-off points for 'the past', I would like to have seen a Dinosaur Decade. 11. Sunscreen or tanning lotion? (Pale skin, lightly toasted or burnt?) SPF3000. Blistercity, if not careful. 12. Any hobbies? Regularly rearranging the entire contents of my home. Seriously. 13. Name one thing, (anything you want), that absolutely fascinates you. (i.e. : childbirth, poetry, marine biology, chocolate, Star Wars, politics) Feel free to expound on why... Families. Family dynamics. Biological families, famillies of choice, legal families ... little clumps of people put together to (hopefully) find cooperative ways of doing things, making life a pleasanter experience... The people who sometimes push our buttons (who know how to push them as they *created* them), the people we love, the people we abhor, the people who hurt us, the people we want to marry but aren't allowed to, the people we adore and would go to the ends of the earth for. Like bellybuttons and opinions, we all have 'em; I am fascinated with what we *do* with them. 14. Best/Worst Movies you've ever seen? Fave fun: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Fave 'pay attention': Usual Suspects 15. What makes a performance "stellar" in your opinion? Is it musicianship? Comedy? Political Statements? Choreography? Performer's awareness/inclusiveness of the audience? Does the music speak to me? Do I feel it _right here_? That is stellar. 16. What is your shoe size? Womens shoes: 8 1/2 or 9, depending on manufacturer Mens (who tend to get better-made, sturdier shoes btw): 7 I think 17. College graduate? Hellyeah, Hard Knocks University, graduated Summa Cum Laude. oooOOOHHHHh, Higher Educational Institution - have attended 3yrs but still not finished : ) 18. Do you work for yourself, or for someone else? For someone else, or so I let them believe 19. Greatest fear for the future? What gets you worried? (i.e.: social security, medical insurance, gun violence, violence in general, you're running out of peanut butter and don't have time to stop at the grocery store this week...) My madness. Which, curiously enough, is also one of my greatest joys. 20. Vegetarian or Meat Eating? C. All of the above. 21. Religious denomination? Good Midwestern Luuu'teran. I think I can make an enviable Jello salad. (whaddayamean, the two don't necessarily go hand-in-hand?!) 22. How many hours per week, on average, do you spend online/watching t.v.? Watching t.v.- hmm, 4 (news) Online- 25-30 ("This needs a bit of explanation perhaps" she defensively reflects. As my partner and I currently *can* only communicate via computer programs like ICQ, the puter is running all evening and just like you might holler into the next room to your sig.other, similarly we do it here) ahh, that's bettah. : ) 23. Is there life after death? Yes, I believe so (still a little sketchy on the details though). 24. If you could vacation to any spot on the globe, where would you go and why? Australia. Specifically Melbourne. Not only am I enchanted by what I've read about oz (the land, the people, the history, etc) I've got some *serious* huggin' and kissin' to catch up on since she returned a month ago. 25. Sizzle or steak? =) Mighty personal questions yer askin'. I'd say 5 times out of 6 - sizzle. How 'bout you ... crusher or folder? Thanks for your participation..... Pleasure was mine, thanks! : ) >> HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 16:10:06 EDT From: PBCoustic@aol.com Subject: Re: survey In a message dated 6/17/00 12:57:49 PM Central Daylight Time, Lisbeth001@aol.com writes: << Fave 'pay attention': Usual Suspects >> Excellent choice!!!!!!!

Lowe" Subject: Fw: Believer's Survey I sent this originally to the quilt website, but since people are sharing, here goes.. SURVEY 1. Age: c. 50 (Yikes, how did THAT happen??)

Fiction; all the southern gothic writers, plus Cormac McCarthy. 8. Lately, email. 9. My dentist only keeps Runner's Magazine and dental brochures. Hmm, I need a new dentist. 10.
