I know I'm one of those real-life crushes, but my heart belongs to the pagercub! **pagergiggle**

...and other body parts too ... *teasing* ... Of course, today you'll be in SF with him. So you're heart will be in San Francisco. Somebody ought to write a song about it! HUGS!

1. Sam Elliott... wooooof.

2. 42.. I wonder how long I'll be able to keep that up.

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

1. San Eliott ... I always liked that lean, mean look. Now I like that lean scruffy look that cleans up real nice:)

2. As to 42 ... as long as it's in print, you have to believe it, right?! LOL!

42 years old, huh?

My mother claimed to be 29 until the day she died. It was a bit awkward when her children started getting older than that, but it was explained through the miracle of Immaculate Preconception. =o)

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

Now that is priceless ... Immaculate Pre-Conception!!!! *giggle* My mom says she doesn't mind having a son who is that age, she just hates being old enough to have one of that age:) It's all about her. LOL!

If I were evil, I could sell answers to #11 for a hefty fee.

Two things ... As my bestest friend, you wouldn't do that to me ... Uh right? Secondly, then I would have to kill you. LOL!

tastes

[tkn1114.livejournal.com]

Do you think taste is cultural or instinctive? Don't say both :0)
I had a momentary crush on Sam Elliott during that WWI TV series with Glenn Ford as his father-in-law way back when, remember? But then I got over him quick and returned to Sean Connery for that kind of hairy man look which does not flip my wig like it used to anymore. I now favor Philippe Noiret over Connery on occasions. Evolution is a fascinating thing, is'nt it? :0) So, why do I think then and now that Sam Elliott is too Malboro stiff, but adore Glenn Ford who's also a quiet type? Sigh, I've given up on understanding attraction and taste! I have no type, I have no type, I have no type... I only know what turns me on, and enjoy :0)

Oh, and what about that Enron bombshell today, huh? YESSSS!!!!!!!!

Re: tastes

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

I believe it's instinctual. However to explain my wide range of tastes? I'm not sure who Phillippe Noiret is:) Perhaps, you think Sam is too stiff, because that is his acting style.

As to ENRON ... I didn't even mind ABC interrupting my regular viewing ... It is about damn time!!! A few decades in jail as Bubba's bitch and I bet Ken Lay in particular will be screaming for Jesus in another way! Those guys were pure evil disguised as a scions of Corporate America. George Bush has got to be a bit worried now. Lay, who pretends to barely know, was his biggest election contributor. The bad guys do get their due, don't they?

Lay ...and DeLay ... five years, but finally justice.

i'm glad the courts did not delay putting delay in prison where he belongs!

Curiouser and curiouser.....

[becker-boy.livejournal.com]

I answered all the questions and posted them as suggested but I noticed a funny thing when I read Jeffinabox's answers: he answered two more questions than you (and therefore, I) did.

One was about the internet and the other?...was about one's weight.

That an accident, right?...uh...right!

(hugs)

Re: Curiouser and curiouser.....

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

I don't remember who I pulled the meme from ... I think getpyro, but there were so many to choose from. There were only 17 questions to the one I copied. I noticed that and checked out the questions I didn't have. I added the television question; the computer question didn't interest me. (Answer .. I got my first computer in 1994 and used it only for AOL; today I use it for AOL, LJ and writing. ...and one game, Bubble Trouble.)

The third about "weight" was one that simply didn't need to be answered. If I answered it, how could I then officially lie on my theatre resume? Two years ago, I lost 32lbs. I was proudest of the fact that I finally weighed what I had put on the resume (for the first time in 10 years.) *grin*

Re: Curiouser and curiouser.....

[becker-boy.livejournal.com]

LOL

I thought that might be the case concerning the weight issue.... Thank the fates that my profession doesn't require a weight reference to be listed in my resumé!...

Curious...I think we bought our first computers around the same time and used it for the same online service. A Quadra 650 with 500MB of memory...woo-hoo! I use it (well, I have three of them now....) for all kinds of things (no games, tho.)

Have a great Friday, my friend...I'm off to the office. (hugs)
