What soon-to-be-published book are you excited to read?

In no particular order:

 

 

 

 

 

What question do you hate being asked?

Anything about sex.  Especially the "So...what do you...do?" one. 

On the plus side, it is kind of funny watching the asker try to get the question out.  There's usually a lot of stammering.

What movies do you have memorized? Bonus points for sharing your favorite quote.
Submitted by Andymatic.

The Princess Bride, Heathers, Rocky IV (I know), The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Dirty Dancing.  I'm pretty sure I also have Playing By Heart memorized.

Favorite quote would probably be "Our love is God.  Let's go get a slushee."  (Heathers)

In the making-of documentary, Winona Ryder said that pretty much every line in Heathers is her favorite line.  There are a ton of good ones but that one's my favorite.

 

How and when do you reward yourself?
Submitted by Rainbird.

It's insane.  I'm a huge believer in rewarding myself and do so often.  Basically for every month I don't take a sick day, I buy myself something from Amazon.  (I have a work ethic and all but I find that buying crap I don't need really helps keep that work ethic going.)

I need to start going to the gym again because I also had something going where, for every month I went to the gym five days a week, I got a sushi dinner.  And I made it for one month.

I'm hoping to start up again after I get back from Salisbury. 

What's your favorite song with "America" or "USA" in the title? Bonus points if you share it with us.

I'd never heard the original version (until just now), but I love the Indigo Girls' cover.  (I do like Simon & Garfunkel though.)

Out of anyone in your address book, with whom would you most like to have lunch today?

Jen.  But she is far away. :(

What would make you question a friendship?
Submitted by stueykins.

People who cancel plans without notice or simply assume that you'll realize the plans were canceled when they don't show up.  I know that we're all busy but there's a difference between "busy" and "totally unreliable."

I'm trying to weed out "unreliable."

What's your favorite soundtrack?

Probably the Love Actually soundtrack.  Except for the fact that there's a Kelly Clarkson song on there, it's mostly pretty awesome.  I love the cover of All You Need is Love, the Joni Mitchell song (Both Sides Now) and God Only Knows (by the Beach Boys, but don't judge it for that).  There's a Norah Jones song and Eva Cassidy's Songbird.  So, so good. :)

What are the goofy nicknames you have for your pet? Bonus points for sharing a picture of him/her.
Submitted by Papi Chulo.

Sam also answers to:

Sam, Sammo, Sammy-Sam, Mr. Sambourine Man and, when he's being bad, Mr. Gentleman.

 

 

What's your "go-to" movie?  The one you watch when you need to just get away from it all?
Submitted by uncagedbird.

It depends on what's wrong with me (why I need to escape from my life).  If I need to laugh, it's Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle or The 40-Year-Old Virgin.  If I need to cry (because sometimes you do), it's My Girl or Stepmom or Steel Magnolias or Beaches.  If I need the cinematic equivalent of a pep talk, it's Rocky.  And if I want to go back to my childhood, it's Dirty Dancing or Heathers.
