I'm the most adventurous eater in my family, I'll try anything once, though I was a bit nervous when someone bet $10 I wouldn't eat a whole sardine straight out the tin. I liked the taste, but I'm sensitive with textures so swallowing it was a bit of a challenge.

What new food did you try most recently and was it any good?

It's not terribly exotic, but I had a lamb shawarma wrap for the first time on Sunday. For those of you who've never had one, it's lamb, grilled onions & green peppers in a garlic sauce, wrapped in a pita-like bread. Yum! Not Weight Watchers friendly, but I splurged when I went to the ballgame.

OK, I've asked this food question before, but you're about to walk the "green mile." What would you request as your last meal?

If I was to walk the green mile I don’t think I’d want anything. Maybe a comfort food like Mac and cheese? Hmm maybe with a side of cheesecake.

They’ve been saying all day that storms are coming. Do you like storms? I love the thunder and lightning show but I’m not too thrilled with hail and wind.

I'm like you, I like the thunder and lightning but not the wind or hail. We're hoping to avoid some severe storms in the next few days.

Do you like to color?

No, not even as a kid. I've even asked myself why I don't/didn't and am slightly unsure. I don't like to paint, sculpt, draw, or do collages, either. Never did. Being forced made me uncomfortable (spoonful of cod liver oil). When in art therapy at the hospital and in IOPs, I would use that time to write, instead. I do love to dance, though, and am oddly good at flower arranging, which I enjoy. I must also say that I do appreciate other peoples' art. It's interesting how people prefer one way of expressing themselves over another.

What type of art (including performance arts) are you best at?

you sound like me in art class at school.

lol... the art teacher never knew what to do with me because I was just never interested in it

anyway, nothing. I avoid art like the plague. I don't enjoy it.

okay so what is something (activity, coping methodd, what ever) you avoid for what ever reason?

I do my best to avoid CBT. It just annoys me. I don't know why but it does. I know it is great for a lot or even most people but I just don't get a lot from it.

What is the longest time you've seen one therapist or pdoc?

I've seen my current therapist for at least 10 years. It's nice having that continuity.

Summer will officially begin in a few hours. What is your favorite place, activity (hopefully you'll address both) to enjoy in the summer? Describe it. What do you enjoy about it?

My favorite place is no longer an option. It was a cabin up north on a good sized lake. There were woods, and two lakes. The cabin was on a big lake but if it was really windy and the parents were worried about the waves we could walk though the woods to the other much smaller lake that was nearby. It was always much calmer. My favorite activities were many. Most involved water. Swimming, canoeing, practice life saving skills, ( we loved running off the dock fully clothed and taking our clothes off in the water and blowing up our jeans to use as life preservers) tipping the canoe over and righting it while in the water, climbing back in. Swimming out to the pontoon and playing board games or cards. If we still had the cabin I’d love to go swimming. Lakes are so much better than pools. And I’d love to paddle the canoe out early morning when the loons are out. As it is though. It got to be too much. So my biggest activity now is reading on the deck during nice days.

Soon To tell the truth, will be on. Are you good at picking out who’s telling the truth or can liars get you too?

I'm terrible at telling if people are lying unless what they're saying obviously confuses me because it's contradictory.

Do you have any "childish" coping skills, like cuddling teddy bears?

Unless you count self-medicating with sweets, I guess not. I've actually never been overly into childish things, even as a child. Or the things I really loved (dancing and my bike) are generally not strictly considered child only activities. I do like my pillow and alpaca blanket for comfort. Otherwise I cuddle with my husband.

Question: Please also answer Sapien's question above.

I don't know if this is really a childish thing I do. I'd run my fingers on my eyebrow (just one). I don't rub it, but just lightly stroke it when I want to calm myself or put myself to sleep. I've been doing it since I was a child.


Can you relax when you are sleeping away from home?

Usually. I sometimes sleep better at my sister's than I do at home. Her home is very quiet.


Do you do any crafts or projects?

Not in the usual sense, unless you count gardening or occasional flower arranging. Or if gourmet cooking is included, I do that most days of the week. Cooking and baking are my main passions. Also, recently I started a weight loss/healthful eating plan. I've been putting a good deal of effort into that. It also involves the cooking/baking, as well as balancing carbs, fat, protein, and vitamin and minerals consumption. When I'm driven to do this, I'm very driven. Hubby benefits, too, unless he does a lot of secret snacking.

What is your ideal outside temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

Favorite sky conditions (like snowing, overcast, sunny, etc)?

Vulcan of the original Star Trek series. I’d actually love to visit many worlds of Star Trek. In the new aa Abrams Star Trek Vulcan is destroyed. But I’m torn if I want to visit it in Kirk’s time or. Picard’s time. Heck why not both? 😃

Oh right, you want a question! Let’s see, ….are you Star Trek or Star Wars? Why?

I honestly don't know the difference. Not my thing although my brother loved it.

What would your name be if you could choose anything?

I don't dislike my given name, but it is a spelling pain in the butt, especially with my married surname. My maiden surname was easy to spell, especially in the US, and even Czechs know that surname. As I am now (married), I think I'm the only person in the world with my combo of names. In any case, I never had kids, but for girls I always liked the names Emily and Nora. In Czech Republic, the Czech version of my surname is easy to spell, unlike in the US. My Americanized version (in my passport) is confusing for Czechs as it lacks the Czech diacritical marks and is otherwise the male version, while I am female. Without knowing me, Czechs would assume I am male if they didn't see me. In the US, alliteration of my names was also an issue, as well as my legal given name being the usual shortened version of a longer given name. And a differently spelled version, at that. And the icing on the cake is that some documents show my middle name as my full childhood one, while others show my maiden surname initial. These discrepancies were not my doing. In Czech Republic, middle names are uncommon in the first place, unlike in the US and many other countries. Sorry for the venting. Raw subject lately.

What male names do you like best? Or female, if you'd like to answer that?

What's your favorite thing to have for a snack?
