Another belated this or that entry.
1. Large or small family? Small, definitely. Two's okay, right? Just Brett and I? :)
2. Potato chips or pretzels? Potato chips. Mmm, salty potatoes.
3. House or apartment? Right now? Apartment. Eventually? House. Definitely.
4. Zebras or giraffes? Uh. Giraffes?
5. Candles or potpourri? Candles--home made, by me!
6. Flowers or trees? Yes.
7. Right or left-handed? Right.
8. Model trains or dolls/stuffed animals? Anyone who's been to my apartment and has seen the sheer volume of stuffed animals we have doesn't need me to answer this one.
9. Comedy or drama? Yes. Each has its place--sometimes, a good, tear-jerking drama that'll make me cry is a good thing, but I also love to laugh.
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: The city of Boston has recently banned smoking in all restaurants and bars. Would you want to see such a law passed in your city/town/country, or not? Sorry to all my smoking friends... :) Yes, I would. California's already done so, so the point is kind of moot, but I do like it. First off, I don't believe the study that says second-hand smoke doesn't cause cancer--smoking even filtered cigarettes can cause lung cancer, so how can it be that *unfiltered* smoke doesn't do the same? Second, having lived with a smoker for a long time (my mom), I know that smoke, especially at the dinner table, can really fuck up your sense of taste. I like food (shut up, you!), so I like to be able to taste what I'm eating. I also don't like smelling like a cigarette after I walk out of somewhere.
No disrespect meant at all to my smoking friends--I totally respect your right to do whatever you want. I won't harp on you to quit, I will try to go to smoker-friendly places, I won't tell you NOT to smoke when we're at your house, but I will also reserve the right to ask you not to smoke in my home, and ask for the sacrifice of going to a smoker-friendly place to be traded off, if that makes sense. :) Again, not that it's much of an issue in CA anymore, but still.
