Why do you love your body?

Well, Victoria's Secret, let me answer your question with another question: Why are your bras so damn expensive?

Oh wait, that's not relevant.  But still important!

You have four unexpected guests showing up for dinner in less than an hour, you haven't been to the store in days, and you want to impress them with a delicious meal. What do you serve them?

Revenge:  cold.

While walking in a winter wonderland can be fun in theory, it makes shopping a big of a drag. Do you plan on doing your holiday shopping online or in-stores this season? Why?

I plan on LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE, BEST BUY.

Also, correct your QotD.  "Big" of a drag?  For shame.

If you had to write your autobiography in 6 words, what would you write?

I loved, feared, and respected music.

Which breed of dog is your favorite? Post a picture of it.

Aside from the ever-faithful and lovable mutt (I mean really--why pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for a designer breed guaranteed to get a home if there are tons of free or almost free mutts out there that desperately need good homes... /endvisityourlocalanimalshelterrant), I love love love Afghan Hounds:

My family had one when I was growing up.  She was fabulous and named D'fer---D'fer Dog.  (Get it?)  They're silly, beautiful, and like most so many silly beautiful creatures--completely stupid.  I'm pretty sure they're ranked as the stupidest dog breed.  I like to think of D'fer more as an airheaded blonde.  I'm not sure if this is true of the breed or just of our individual doggie, but man--that girl could fart strategically.  Try to brush her when she's not in the mood, and you better hope you're wearing a gas mask.

Ringtones: What's yours and how often do you change it?

I had to answer this because quite frankly, I have the best one ever:

 

Men at Work - "Who Can It Be Now?"

 

I also used to love my A-ha "Take on Me" tone, but alas, when I got my new phone I couldn't find a good version of it.  Such is life.

Today begins Día de los Muertos.  What are your rituals or occasions when you remember loved ones you have lost?

A day late on this one, but oh well.

Actually, I'm not even answering the actual question so much as writing about Día de los Muertos.  Our Spanish class did group projects in which we set up altars in the library for a someone of our choice.  Ours was Mr. Rogers!

I'm much too lazy to go into detail, but I'm proud of it!  Please note the trolley (which you can barely see in this picture), hand-made by ME.

Exciting times.

Edit:  Ah but wait!  I took pictures of my Madd Hot Glue Gun Skillz:

What do you think of Stephen Colbert's satirical bid for the U.S. Presidency?  

...Satirical?!  Well now who the hell do I vote for?!

(*Desperately wants to change that to "For whom will I vote now," but decides it doesn't have the same effect.*)

What decision changed the course of your life?

What decision doesn't?

Aaaah.

What other names did your parents consider for you?

"Layla" (after the Derek and the Dominoes song, no less) was on the table, which I think is pretty sweet--apparently my father did not agree.  (Yet somehow letting the 6-year-old boy child name the second-born after the baby kangaroo in a video game was a better idea?)

This question made me curious, so I called my mom to ask about other possibilities.  Apparently "Ashleigh" and "Leigh" were other options.  Good to know.  ("Leigh" eventually made it into my middle name... but as I'm told, my parents "didn't want to burden me with such a long middle name," thus "Leigh Anne" became "Leiann.")

And now you know... and knowing is half the battle.  (G.I. Joe!!!)
