***********
I am now in Colorado for the Holy Weekend. In exchange for the fun of not staying at the airport, my car is going to see Ben Folds without me. But I told my chauffeur-who-needed-a-car-for-the-weekend to get that piano player's hands to sign me an autograph on my car. It will be as good as if I had gone myself...

31. Ever been to Africa? No
32. Ever been toilet papering? No, and I haven't cleaned it up either.
33. Been in a car accident? Yes, twice. Neither were my fault, because I wasn't the one driving, nor was I old enough to drive. They weren't my dad's fault either. I hate car accidents.

Posted by: Evan Donovan at 5.04.07 20:49Just realized: I missed one.
I despise (or at the least) people who can't control their anger, people who think they're better than everyone else, and people who don't know when to shut up.
Posted by: Evan Donovan at 5.04.07 20:55I'd just like to say re: #26 that both my dad and my nephew have gotten pedicures before. Their argument: our feet don't get enough attention! Plus it feels really good. So it's not just for women. You should try it sometime.
I like how the last movie everyone saw was Amazing Grace (at least from all the answers I've seen so far).
Posted by: laura at 5.04.07 21:50By that last sentence I meant "because we all saw it together!" Sorry.
Posted by: laura at 5.04.07 21:52Laura, I love that we all saw Amazing Grace together, too. And Evan, your camel hair coat is about the only I remember about you from Covenant. Well, that and your dancing. :)
