Please Take My Survey to Keep Me from Obsessing about My Upcoming Very Important CT Scan

And because I am super fun (and looking to be distracted), I will answer them, too!  Well, the ones that apply.

1.  Who would play you in the movie of your life?

This is getting to be a tough one to answer (this is a common question among my friends, who knows why).  I would always say Winona Ryder, and it was the perfect answer.  But now this Natalie Portman chick has come onto the scene, and a lot of people think of her for me.  But I like Winona better, so I say her.

2.  Why do you read this site?  Do you have cancer, or are you perhaps just mesmerized by the neon glow?

• Corollary:  Are you the person who keeps coming to this site by googling "Limbodacious"?  If so, why?  I mean, if you can remember the limbodacious part, you've pretty much got it covered.  Do you know what a bookmark is?

3.  What is your favorite TV show/movie/book/whatever?

My two favorite movies are "Catch Me If You Can" and "Gladiator."  My favorite day is Tuesday.  My favorite drink is Pepsi. 

4.  How many days could you last in solitary confinement?

Probably indefinitely.  I am quite the loner.  If dogs were allowed in solitary confinement, forget about it... I'd never come out.

5.  What CD is in your CD player right now?  And don't even THINK about changing it to something cooler before you answer.

AC/DC - "Back in Black"

6.  What is your best personality trait?  Your best physical trait?

I am fair, level-headed, and reasonable.  And I have a rockin' ass.

7.  What is your household like?  Are you married?  Have a roommate?  Have pets?  Have kids?

Me, Boyfriend, Hank, Cooper, and a turtle (His name is "The Cooter" - because he is a Florida Cooter Turtle, get your head out of the gutter.).

1. Possibly Nicole Kidman. I've been told I look a bit like her when I'm cleaned up nicely. But of course said individuals were either kissing my ass or trying to lure me into the sack.

2. I came to this site via Cancer Baby via getupgrrl. That's how I came, but I stay for the wit and to keep posted on how you're doing. Don't have cancer, but family history of breast/possibly OVCA so am on perpetual notice w/ cooter doc.

3. TV--probably LOST or QUEER AS FOLK. Movie: GONE WITH THE WIND. Book: THE MISTS OF AVALON

4. Give me coffee and a good book and who knows. A while.

5. Laurie Berkner. Hip and tolerable kids music.

6. Personality: I get most compliments for my sense of humor. Physically, my hair.

7. Household consists of DH, 2 y/o daughter, dog, cat, fish, newts and frogs.

4.

1. Who would play you in the movie of your life?

Molly Ringwald. I looked like her in high school and we are aging in a similar fashion. It's kind of strange.

2. Why do you read this site? Do you have cancer, or are you perhaps just mesmerized by the neon glow?

Must. Follow. Orders. of. the. Glow.

3. What is your favorite TV show/movie/book/whatever?

TV:Dancing with the Stars (I can hear you laughing, but I stand by it.), The Sopranos, Hill Street Blues (Jesus, how old am I??)

Movie: Clerks, Wings of Desire and Thelma & Louise

Book: Cradle of the Deep

Whatever: Pugs are my favorite kind of dogs

4. How many days could you last in solitary confinement?

When my son is being his usual sweet self, a month.

When my son is acting like a sullen teenager, forever sounds good.

5. What CD is in your CD player right now?

Cake, Comfort Eagle.

6. What is your best personality trait? Your best physical trait?

I am compassionate.
My eyes.

7. What is your household like? Are you married? Have a roommate? Have pets? Have kids?

Chaotic. Married for 16 years, Mom to one 13 year old boychild, and Dog Mom to two dogs.

I'm so bored today, so imagine my excitement at finding something to do! Yay for surveys!!

1. The only celeb I've ever heard that I look like (and please, try not to laugh too hard) is Katie Holmes. We have similarly shaped faces and the same hair.

2. Why do you read this site? Do you have cancer, or are you perhaps just mesmerized by the neon glow?

I am mesmerized by the awesome writing.

3. What is your favorite TV show/movie/book/whatever?

TV show = The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park

Movie = Dumb and Dumber or the Shawshank Redemption. It all depends on my mood.

Book = I have too many favorites. The latest is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which I just read and was UNBELIEVABLE.

4. How many days could you last in solitary confinement?

Calculating the number of days I could last in solitary requires a highly scientific formula that incorporates the all-important number-of-books to number-of-days ratio in accordance with the volume of the solitary confinement room in question.

5. What CD is in your CD player right now? And don't even THINK about changing it to something cooler before you answer.

Um, I think it's Slipknot, the Subliminal Verses. If it's not that, it's the latest Mudvayne.

6. What is your best personality trait? Your best physical trait?

I'm logical and kind. I have pretty sweet boobs. Is it wrong to say that?

7. What is your household like? Are you married? Have a roommate? Have pets? Have kids?

Not married.
Roommate = Boyfriend
Cat = kid

1. Sandra Bullock. You didn’t say she has to look like me, right? I like her and the characters she typically plays: down to earth, beautiful, funny, charming, and so likeable without being pretentious. Let’s face it, if they are a making a movie about my life, let’s keep the fantasy going. You didn't say documentary.

2. It started as a kindred cancer thing, but frankly you are so darn entertaining, cancer or no cancer, I’m hooked.

3. TV Show: I still love Seinfeld and Sex in the City. They still make me laugh in syndication.
Movie: I like the Godfather movies and I will always love Moonstruck (it’s like going home again without the aroma of garlic (wait, no garlic, why bother?).
Book: Walden’s Pond. Thoreau opened my eyes to literature and life.
Whatever: Triple grande soy latte from Starbucks – no fancy flavors or extras. Just coffee. My neurons don’t fire without it.

4. About three. I crave interaction. Can’t live without it.

5. Journey: Greatest Hits Live -- I haven’t listened to it for quite awhile and I feel rather outed! I guess I was thinking of the old “big hair” days and just had to have a fix of the old rock ballads.

6. Personality trait – Compassion. Physical trait – Mood eyes (hazel eyes that change colors)

7. Single-ish/no kids, no pets, no roommate

[Sarah]

1. The movie actress that I would like to have play me is Charleze Theron. She's gorgeous and seems like a nice person. I don't look like her but so what?
2. I don't have cancer. I'm a Cyber-stalker friend.
3. My favorite TV show is Big Brother. Don't laugh. My mother says that college educated people shouldn't be watching such shit but I can't get enough of it.
4. Right now my septic tank is overflowing into my back yard so solitary confinement sounds better than Club Med.
5. The CD I am listening to right now is by the Bee Gees. I live in a time warp.
6. Best personality trait-sense of humor. Best physical trait-my hair. And my feet are nice too.
7. Married with two boys. 7 Fish. Son would like a dog but he has allergies and asthma so we're currently looking for a bald dog.

[Katie]

1. I am answering, so I'll say that Rachel McAdams girl, though she'd have to die her hair. It's hard to find famous redheads, most are too old to play me.

2. Well, I have survived the "big C" but I also enjoy your sense of humor.

Corollary: It's not me.

3. TV: any medical drama, movie: Steel Magnolias, book: too hard to pick one

4. Depending on the situation - a few months.

5. Linda Eder - Broadway, my way. I admit, I'm a showtune junkie.

6. I think I am understanding, compassionate, loving and passionate.

I'm lucky to have a great mouth - nice teeth and pretty lips.

7. Our household is much quieter lately. It's me, my husband Mark and his guide dog. Hopefully soon we'll be able to add to that.

[Lauren]

Alrighty then (remember that from Trey on Sex and the City? That was the most horrendous proposal ever.) I'll play your game...

1. I'd have to say that Christina Milian would to play me in the story of my life. She kinda closely resembles me and our heritages are very similar.

2. I read this site b/c its simply the most insightful, human and hilarious thing on the internet. I can always seem to relate even though I have only had a cancer scare myself. However, I love that whether you recognize it or not, you haven't allowed cancer to overshadow your life completely and it encourages me to do the same with those problems I have that seem larger than life.

3. My favorite book is by far White Oleander by Janet Fitch. A close second is Between Lovers by Eric Jerome Dickey. I've read them both at least 800 times. My favorite movie is While you Were Sleeping b/c I friggin' love Sandra Bullock. And I am slowly getting addicted to Grey's Anatomy since my 2 favoritest shows of all time, Friends and Sex and the City, aren't on anymore.

4. Solitary confinement would be better than sex right now. People suck. However I'd probably last only a couple months if I had to be there without animals.

5. My CD player has been shamefully unused since I got my Dell but I've been listening to alot of Sarah Vaughn lately.

6. My best personality trait is probably that I'm damn funny in dry, Daria kinda way. And I've got to say my ass puts Jennifer Lopez to shame.

7. It's just me in my household right now. I'm not married yet but I could be in the next few years or so. I don't have any kids though I wanna have 4 and I don't have any pets b/c NO ONE WILL GIVE ME A PUPPY!!!

[Cori]

1. No idea. I don't resemble any celebrities. If they don't have to look much like me, Miranda Otto.
2. Mesmerized by the glow.
3. TV shows: Buffy, Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared. Drink: Diet Dr. Pepper or white wine. Movie: Office Space or Bring It On (shut up).
4. With wine, cats, knitting, and DVDs, I could last for months.
5. The soundtrack to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels musical
6. I'm funny (both funny-ha ha and funny-strange), and have great tits.
7. Just me and my cats, Tansy and Mona.

1. No one. I am a complete geek, and I'm non-white. My life is boring, too. Maybe Sandra Sing Loh, but she's not an actress, and she's not my ethnicity.

2. I came to this site via Cancer Baby via getupgrrl. I stay 'cause you're a good writer, and your story is interesting. I do hope, a bit, that the fact that strangers read and enjoy your words gives you happiness, and that's why I post comments, in addition to just reading.

3. T.V. Recess -- the animated cartoon. Movie: rarely watch 'em Book: I love so many books that I can't pick a favorite.

4. Probably a while, but I think it's hard to say when you're never really alone. I can't remember the last time I was alone for a day. And, when you're never alone, you fantasize about being alone. But, when you are alone, you spend all your time wondering where everyone is.

5. Who knows -- but probably something like the Sesame Street's greatest hits. That might sound pathetic only in the way that having kids is pathetic. But, the sad thing is that before I had kids there was probably an equal chance of sesame street and nothing at all.

6. Personality: I'm a good analytic thinker. I get compliments for that when people realize it. Physically, my nails. I have pretty nails. My hands are OK, too.

7. Household consists of husband, 4 1/2 year old, 1 3/4 year old, and my mom & dad, who live next door.

[Jen]

OH I love surveys, what fun:

1. Hmmm, Julia Roberts. Someone in High School said we looked a like (they must have been high). I think she is amazingly beautiful.

2. As you know, Cancer has linked us together unfortunately. But I do look forward to reading your wity posts for humor, sincerity, and validation.

3. Favorite TV show at the present time is Six Feet Under. Favorite movie: I am a Star Wars fanatic. Favorite Book: Wally Lamb's 'She's come undone' and anything really off of Oprah's book club, I trust Oprah!

4. At the moment, I could use some time alone. But lets be real, I don't do too well when I am alone for long periods of time. I think I'd last two days tops.

5. Coldplay's new CD XYZ something. I just got it, and I am into it.

6. Best personality trait, I am compassionate. Best physical characteristic: my lips. I have been told they are quite kissable!

Thanks Rae, that was fun and kept me out of wedding crap for five minutes!

[Kathleen]

So much cheating going on!

I sat for half an hour yesterday trying, trying, trying to come up with my favorite book. I just could not do. But, those are the directions my friends, that's what makes it fun! Fun, I say!

So book your favorite book! And they you can spend your evening the way I did, averting my guilt ridden eyes from all the books I did not pick. Even more fun!

[Christina]

3.Favorite show: Sex and the City and The Wonder Years, favorite movie: Wicker Park, favorite book: She's Come Undone
4.Good question, depends on how annoyed at my life I am at the time...right now I couldn't stand more than a day.
5.Oh my god, how embarassing...Britney Spears...I love that song TOXIC.
6.Personality: very patient Physical: my clevage (which doesn't make an appearance very often)
7.My household is myself, fiance Randy, black lab Boomer, red beta fish Mr.Beta...kind of sounds like masturbater, mind was in the gutter for sure.
