Long, long, long, long survey stolen from Wicked-Sezzy's diary:
01. What Does Your Name Mean? Erin (or as I spell it Erinn) is taken from Eireann which is from Eirinn, the dative case of Gaelic Eire, meaning "Ireland". (And if that reads like a definition that would be because I did just look that up.)
02. Birthday? August 25.
03. Zodiac Sign? Virgo. Yet, I’m not neat and not a perfectionist (much), but very-very prone to being totally neurotic. I’m Virgo-lite. But as I get older the Virgo-tendencies increase. Like I can’t handle an unmade bed – I mean, it drives me positively insane. When I get home from work it’s never made (unless he didn’t come home that night) and I will make the bed before I pee, take off my work clothes, or even take off my shoes. I simply can’t handle it.
04. What are your plans for today? Work until 5:25 p.m. Battle the masses to the elevators, battle the masses out of the parking garage, battle the masses down Wilshire, battle the masses at the grocery store, cook dinner for husband, watch TV, drink wine, pass out around 11 p.m.
05. What time is it? 2:16 p.m. PST
Who was the last person that...
06. Called you? My husband to tell me why didn’t come home last night.
07. Slept in your bed? Just me.
08. Saw you cry? No one that I know of, I cry in the car and I don’t think people really look at other people in LA traffic.
09. Made you cry? Husband. State of life. PMS.
10. Spent the night at your house? Years and years ago one of my old friends slept on our sofa when she visited LA. That was the last time I ever will let someone sleep on our sofa in our 200 sq. foot apartment. (OK, maybe a little bigger than that.)
11. You shared a drink with? Do the actors on Law & Order count? How about the cast of Survivor? I mean like I’m watching them on TV and drinking wine, not like as in “I ran into ‘em at Spider Club.”
12. You went to the movies with? Friends C&R and my husband to see “The Grudge.” (3 ½ Stars out of 5. Entertaining but took gags too far, only mildly scary.)
13. You went to the "mall" with? I actually prefer to shop alone.
14. Yelled at you? Boss or husband, it’s a toss up.
15. Sent you an email? Neko.
Have you ever….
16. Taken a picture of yourself with a milk mustache and sent it to the milk people? Fuck No.
17. Said "I love you" and not mean it? Yes.
18. Gotten into a fight with your dog/cat/bird/fish/etc? Don’t have any pets.
19. Been to New York? No. Isn’t that pathetic?
20. Been to Florida? No. No real desire either.
21. California? Lived here all my life.
22. Hawaii? Yes! Four times even!
23. Mexico? Yep. Took a bunch of investment bankers on a closing trip to Palmilla in Cabo. Fucking awesome trip!!!
24. Philippines? No, but I’d love to.
25. Danced naked? Nope. (That probably explains a lot of my problems.)
26. Had a dream about something really crazy? Of course.
27. Stalked someone? I actually do recall going slightly psycho on a guy but he never knew about it, i.e. I’d drive by his house to see if he was there. I got a hold of myself really quickly though and just dumped him, if I was that fucked up about him I knew the relationship wouldn’t go anyplace good.
28. Had a mud bath? Yes!
29. Wished you were the opposite sex? Oh HELL NO!
30. Had an imaginary friend? Yes. In fact, I’m thinking of inventing a new one.
31. What time is it now? 2:24 p.m. PST
This or That
32. Apples or Bananas? Bananas.
33. Red or Blue? Red.
34. Wal-Mart or Target? Target of course.
35. Spring or fall? Fall
36. Do you have a boy/girlfriend what is his/her name? Married. At the moment.
37. Santa or Rudolph? Rudolph.
38. What time is it now? 2:25 p.m.
Who...
39. Has the most distinct laugh? Ex-Boss #2 Bitch Lobbyist Extrodinaire and Loudest Woman on Earth. Thank God she moved to a different floor because the *thought* of that woman’s laugh gives me chills.
40. Will grow up and be a model? My niece Shelby, both parents are tall and thin and beautiful and she’s simply adorable.
41. Is going to have the most kids? Everyone I know is either not having them or their kids are semi-grown.
42. Have you known the longest? These questions apparently were created to be shared amongst a bunch of sorority sisters.
43. Knows you the best?
44. Is the loudest?
45. Is the quietest?
46. Do you have the most classes with? This confirms it.
47. Is the smartest?
48. Do you miss the most?
49. Made you want to cry?
The last few questions
50. What are you going to do after you finish this survey? Screw around on the internet for three more hours.
52. High school or college? Wha??? As in, go back? I’d like to go back and finish college, get into a decent law school and become a lawyer. Chances of that happening??? NONE. Not because I couldn’t do it, but because I’m too lazy to do it. Plus. I have no idea if I could actually go through the process of changing how to “think like a lawyer” but some of the corporate intrigue stuff around here really fascinates me.
53. Are you bored? Yes. Yes. Yes.
54. How many of your buddies are online? I dunno. What do I look like, Miss Cleo?
55. Last movie you saw? Man on Fire. I really like it despite the crap reviews it got.
56. Last noise you heard? Mary J. Blige on my iPod. Not Gonna Cry…..
57. Last birthday party you went to? Hmmm, dunno. Going to one Tuesday.

59. What is your lucky number? 5
60. What time is it now? 2:33 and still PST.

MY OBSESSION: Make-up. Upcoming vacation.
MY MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATURE: Used to be my face but I haven’t been able to recognize myself for about the last four years so I’d probably say my lips – not too thin and not too big.
MY FAVORITE THING TO DO: Shop.
I'M WEARING: Ugly ass skirt made out of what could be best described as “parachute” fabric and a dark green Merino sweater that must have been made from one PISSED OFF sheep because it itches like hell.

01. kill? No one. Except for maybe the asshole that’s been driving up and down our short little street at 50 mph late at night squeeling his tires.
02. shag? Let’s aim for the stars here and suggest…my husband. Probably have a better shot with Brad Pitt and I don’t even find him sexy (but he’s a great actor.) Was that TMI?
03. slap? Too long to list.
04. hear from? Jeeesuus I’m lame, but…my husband.
05. get really wasted with? Anyone actually. I honestly feel like going to the shittiest dive known to man (a.k.a. my favorite bar in Culver City) and doing shots one after another until I pass out in the parking lot. How’s that for an exciting Friday night?!

07. look like? Me. When I was about 23/24.
08. be like? Me. Again when I was about 24 or so.
09. avoid? The entire design department, I just don’t like those people and I’m sick of the women that pee all over *everything* in the ladies washroom. I’m wondering if one isn’t really a tranny with bad aim, at least then it would explain things.
