Heather (see link to website at right) sent me this email, and I thought I'd post it. There are two differences between this and the email I sent. That's because for some reason I skipped two answers. So here are my real ones:

1. First Name: Ashley
2. Were you named after anyone? Not my first name, but my middle two.
3. Do you wish on stars? It's been a while.
4. When did you last cry? The episode of Lost when we find out about Lock's past. Except that I was watching it with someone who would have totally made fun of me, so I held it in.
5. Do you like your handwriting? No.
6. What is your favorite lunch meat? Roast beef.
7. What is your birthdate? 1/23/78
8. What is your most embarrassing CD? Joey Lawrence. It was from a long time ago, but I still have it. I haven't listened to it in a million years. I swear.
9 . If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you? Most of the time.
10. Are you a daredevil? I would bungee jump and jump out of an airplane, but I wouldn' eat boiled cow eyes.
11. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell? Pretty much on a daily basis.
12. Do looks matter? Um, yes. You think I'm dating Paul for his mind? Please, it's important that our kids are good looking.
13. How do you release anger? I cry. Haven't figured that one out yet.
14. Where is your second home? In my head.
15. Do you trust others easily? Not really.
16. What was your favorite toy as a child? Legos and puzzles.
17. What class in high school do you think was totally useless? I can't think of any. Highschool was so long ago.
18. Do you have a journal? I have old journals. But I haven't actually written in one in a couple of years.
19. Do you use sarcasm a lot? That would be yes.
22. What are your nicknames? I don't really have nicknames. There are a few things Paul calls me, but I'm not putting that here
23. Would you bungee jump? See question #10.
24. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? None of my shoes have laces.
26. Do you think that you are strong? Ask me again in two months. I haven't been to the gym in a while due to schedule restrictions. But I'm going today.
27. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Blue Moo Cookie Dough from United Dairy Farmers.
28. Shoe Size? 7.5-8
29. Red/Pink? They both make me want to vomit.
30. What is your least favorite thing about yourself? I get annoyed easily, then I become mean.
31. Who do you miss most? Not that I miss him the most, but Matt Milliard was one of my best friends in middle school and he moved away I think in the 6th or 7th grade. I wonder what he's up to from time to time.
32. Do you want everyone you send this to send it back? If they feel like it.
33. What color pants are you wearing? Brown cords.
34. What are you listening to right now? Paul yelling at the TV. The Bengals aren't playing the way he wants them to.
35. Last thing you ate? I made cinnamon roles for breakfast.
36. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? My favorite color is blue, but my favorite crayon color is silver. Very shiney.
37. What is the weather like right now? Gorgeous! Sunny, no clouds, low 70s. I love Arizona in November. Update on the game: Paul is now growling that the Titans are going to score.
38. Last person you talked to on the phone? Paul. Wait, the phone literally just rang and I have to answer it as Paul is busy having a stroke. OK. Matt, his brother. They are now bitching about the game. Oh, how I love Sundays.
39. The first thing you notice about the opposite or same sex? Teeth.
40. Do you like the person who sent this to you? With all of my heart and soul!
42. Favorite Drink? Water.

60. What's On Your Mouse Pad? The Dell Logo. I just stole it from work Friday.
62. What Did You Watch Last night on TV? Supersize Me. Everyone should watch that. This morning I watched last night's Saturday Night Live. Every skit had something about Ashlee Simpson lip-synching, then Eminem came out and did the same thing. And yet he won't get ripped for it. Whatever.
63. Favorite Smells? Fresh cut grass. The entire Bath and Body Works store.
64. Rolling Stones or Beatles? Don't care.
65. Do you believe in Evolution or Creation? Yes.
66. What's the furthest you've been from home? Went on a cruise with the fam a few years ago. Probably that.

***I notice that some of the numbers are missing. I wonder what those questions were...

Also, Bengals just scored a touchdown and Paul is yelling. My ears hurt. I think I'll go shopping.

Dear Howard Stern,
A few months ago I purchased Serius Satellite Radio stock in the hope that you would one day switch to satellite radio and make me rich. The stock has been under $3/share for quite some time. I only wish I had purchased more when it was at it's low around $2. Today you announced that you would make that move on January 1, 2006. According to an article on ameritrade.com, "his signing could become the broadcasting equivalent of the old American Football League's contract in the 1960s with quarterback Joe Namath, which provided the fledgling league with an undeniable superstar and instant credibility."

I would just like to personally thank you for what you are doing for me. I would also like to own a boat.

Good luck with the future of radio,
Ashley
