1) What, if any, bizarre phobias or anxiety triggers do you have that you're pretty sure no one else you know has?
Bridges. I have a fear of falling which mainly manifests itself when walking or driving slowly over bridges. And on the second floors of malls. I have a totally irrational fear that I'm going to fall over the railing, which I attempt to convince myself is ridiculous. (I have a few anxiety triggers that are because I'm chemically sensitive to certain smells, but that's different in my opinion.)

2) True or false: monkeys are inherently funny. Discuss.
Heck yes. True. Monkeys are like humans with less brain and less inhibitions and socialized mores. So like fratboys after drinking. Seriously, monkeys are great - I used to love the Monkey House at the Peterborough Zoo, many moons ago.

3) If you could change/replace one of your body parts, internal or external, which would you pick, or would you leave everything as is?
Swap the legs out, seeing as they don't work properly anyway And right now one of them is nasty and swollen.

4)Which childhood friend, if any, would you most like to get in touch with, and why? How did you lose contact in the first place?
I'm in intermittent contact with most of my really good childhood friends, actually, which is more a testament to not having very many of them. Part of me was wondering what this dude Mike was doing these days (he was in my eighth grade class) because I saw a high school kid on the bus the other day that totally reminded me of him - manners of speech mostly, although there was a certain physical similarity. And Bill Takis, who

anndrag claims had a massive crush on me, because in my low-self-esteem-type-way I have a lot of trouble believing it, and I'd like to ask him personally, 'cause the notion of anyone crushing on me is strange. The notion that my /husband/ finds me attractive is strange. But that's another story.

5) Which is the real football - American football, or soccer?
I don't watch either. Part of me wants to say 'soccer' because I like being contrary though.
