The Name Game
1. What is your first name? How do you feel about it?
> Curvy. I’m kidding. It’s Dominique. I like it, but it’s 9 letters long and lately I can’t spell it very well. Wow.
2. Do you feel that a name can influence the course of a person’s life? Their personality?
> Sure. I meet lots of people who pretty much ‘are’ their name. Like you can’t imagine them having another name. Another angle is people giving their children very ethnic, really…. creatively spelled, uncharacteristic names, thinking they’re being clever and different, are harming their child’s future more than they know. Employers have already admitted they discriminate based purely on name, especially names that ‘sound’ black.
3. Can a person’s name sway your opinion of them? Why or why not?
>Nah.
4. How do you feel about the current trend toward androgynous first names?
> MMM. Some I like… the Leslie’s and the Taylor’s of the world have my approval. Don’t think there are any men that really want to be named “Sue”.
5. Are there any names that speak powerfully to you, whether by association or imagination?
>Off the top of my head, not really… then again it is 12:15 and I am listing to the left, so… gimme some time.
There ya go, nosey butts! Now YOU!

Guess what time it is, kids! I forgot it was Friday! Darn holiday, messing my time clock up. You know the rulez… Answer in the comments or take it to your blog and have your way with it… just make sure to post the linky so we can all stop and stare.
Would you rather…
1: eat nothing but chocolate or go without chocolate for the rest of your life?
> Go without. I like chocolate but I only really crave it every so often. I like hard candies like Jolly ranchers etc more than I like chocolate.
2: stub your toe or get a paper cut?
>Papercut. All day. I can cover that with a bandaid– can’t cover a stubbed toe!
3: write the news or make the news?
>Write it. But I wouldn’t mind being the assistant to the person making the news if it’s good news they’re making!
4: lose 10 pounds or gain 10 IQ points?
> Gain 10 IQ points. I’d love to be thin but I’d hate to get any dumber. :D
5: wear a costume to work or wear normal clothes to a Halloween party?
> I always wear normal clothes to Halloween parties. I am not a dresser-upper. I just go for the food.

Season’s Eatings
1. What foods do you associate with this time of year?
> I’m not much for holiday food, but I always crave a roast or Prime rib around Christmas or a fried Turkey. And my dad’s dressing and candied yams. And pecan pie…. I’m hungry…
2. Which of them are your favorites? Your least favorites?
> Everything above? Yum. I do NOT like black eyed peas. They always serve them. NO LIKEY.
3. What traditional (or nontraditional) holiday foods do you make or buy every year?
> Unless I’m at home, I don’t do the holidays. I usually get some chicken, some potatoes, mac n’ cheese and rolls and I’m good.
4. Are you more likely to overindulge or abstain from seasonal treats?
> Abstain. By this point, I’m sick of sweets.
5. With all of the high-calorie temptations at this time of year, how do you manage your diet?
> Diet? Really. I just eat until I am literally sick of looking at it, then I am done. Thankfully my span of attention is very, very short.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Random– why is this chick on this commercial all excited that she got carded? She looks like she’s in her 50′s. Ain’t no way you were mistaken for a 19 yr old. Siddown.
