Welcome to the 2009 edition ( they actually DO - do one every year...) of getting to know your friends and family.
What you are supposed to do is copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste onto a new e-mail that you'll send. Change all the answers so they apply to you, and then send this to a whole bunch of people including the person who sent it to you ( well.... I kinda re-sent it to myself - so noone else to blame this time haha) The theory is that you will learn a lot of little things about your friends and family, if you did not know them already Well trust me if u know me - u'll probably know the answers to these questions because the wonderful about me is, I remain consistent - so really the answers wont differ that much considering its now 4yrs on. *( And for all y'all hating on my ass for saying in that sentence : '' what's wonderful about me...'' um, thanks for the concern, but I couldnt give a f... i'll leave it there, cos I love the kids - and I made my pointhahaha
1. What time did you get up this morning?Way too freakin early considering the obsence time I went to bed after staying up Tues night watching the inauguration, and afterwards texting my Byfriend and my bestest friend in the all the land .And actually Matthew dearest, u were the reason I went to bed technically this morning yet again...(this 'ish has got to stop...haha) So this morning it was about 7.30am when I arose- then it was snooze till 8am- then snooze till 830am-then snooze... Long story short: I got up in the end and went to work for 10am- well 09:57 cos my ass was 3mins early
Yeeeeeey!
2. Diamonds or pearls?I believe the correct phrase is: DIAMONDS OR NOTHINGIt was Raisin in the Sun - the P Diddy, Sanaa Lathan, Phylicia Rashad and Audra McDonald '08 version - and if u have to do anything before u die - get a hold of this masterpiece in Drama. Its complete SPECTACULARITY!!!!! Obviously Puffy is no Sidney Poiter - but the rest of the cast ... its phenomenal - please just see this!!!!
3. What was the last movie you saw?
4. What is your favourite TV show?BROTHERS & SISTERS - and ER. HANDS DOWN- NO CONTEST. The rest of y'all should leave now.
5. What did you have for breakfast?Crunchy Nut- yum yum yum!
6. What is your middle name?
Freakin shocker the 2005 ANSWER still remains....
I was christened 2x ( once in secret from my Dad who didnt want me christened and then again about 3 years later when he finally decided he did want me to be baptised - and it was easier to just christen me again than admit the renegade christening which had taken place 3years prior... Funnier still is that my Dad still doesnt know...) so NOW I have Elizabeth and Joanne as my middle names. Although I also have my confirmation name which is Maria.Now don't we all feel better and more enlightened since I shared that story? hahaha...
7. What is your favorite cuisine?
I said it in '05- and I'll say it again...
Italian, French - gotta love those Frogs Legs- and Chinese, although not neccessarily in that order. ( So I like my food! 'Is that a crime?!...alright then'( CD, that's for u-ha! SB xxx-xxx-x! )
8. What foods do you dislike?
SEE WHAT I MEANT ABOUT CONSISTENCY? Same 'ish , different year....
Surpisingly there are quite a few- but main ones are Indian,Thai and anything too spicy.9. What is your favorite chip flavour?
Yep. yep... still the same...Clearly this is a question for those on the other side of the pond? (Bloody yanks- if I didnt love 'em so much, I'd hate em...ha!)- Us Brits all know 'chip' means Chippy and nowt else love! Haha! But if crisps are what u mean then Salt & Vinegar or Ready Salted.10.What is your favorite CD at the moment?
Finally a question with a different answer...
At the present time, Im switching between Brandy's new joint 'HUMAN' in stores now - pls go get a copy (No seriously please , she needs the sales...) which to borrow a Gigi phrase, is 'Hotter than Stellar' and a mixtape of Ludacris' hottest 16 bars on every record he's been on in 08! Believe me its incredible.And actually just for the nostalgia I had a Mariah 'RAINBOW' album listening party - it was quite nice, cos that is a great album.
11. What kind of car do you drive?
Well if I can be so rude as to reference the as yet unreleased 'So What' by L.Lewis from the ' Expressions of a Dreamer album :
'' I can drive , but being being driven is the way I prefer living...''
AKA: Im still a slave to the bleakest of bleak public transport...
12. Favourite sandwich?
Egg Mayo-which is rather random considering I dont actually like Mayo...
13. What characteristic do you despise?
I loved the '05 answer so much - I had to keep it in!! Apart from using the word 'hate'. (cos I dont hate ANYBODY. I should have said: I'm freaking scared of quiet people. As their silence both confuses and unnerves me....
2005 answer below:
There are many - Let's just start with Dishonesty and end with Ignorance ,although Stupidity is one I'm not particularly fond of and Quietness-yes definitely quietness, I freakin hate quiet people... ( Im kidding, Im kidding -ask anyone who knows me- I love the world...)14. Favourite items of clothing?A toss between my denim mini skirt and my black mini skirt- but like in '05 its definitely a mini skirt
15. If you could go anywhere in the world on holiday, where would you
go?MALDIVES for sure!! Altho...French Polynesia -partcularly Bermuda- is looking quite nice...erm Australia still needs to be done, Would like to do Monte Carlo again loved it there... ALL of the freakin Caribbean too, I mean that's just mandatory... Beverly Hills has needed a visit since Pretty woman came out... Santa Barbara and the Monterey Jazz festival is calling my name, so a trip to South Cali in general may have to be planned.St Tropez, French Riveria - Italian Riveria - in fact anywhere with Riveria in the title is bound to be beautiful so let's stick that in to....hahaha
But Dahling I live to travel and anywhere but here is my main platform... but then which poor person condemned to living in rain-filled and mostly-cold Manchester doesnt subscribe to that way of thinking? ha!
16. What colour is your bathroom?Which one?'' Not bragging - just simply the truth '' - Jay Z ' SO GHETTO'
'05 answerAnd the answer is: the downstairs is white, upstairs is like a white/wooden pine moment.Not really a slave to labels anymore, as it's just like I say:
17. Favourite brands of clothing?
'' if it looks good WEAR IT. If it doesnt PLEASE Don't '
Just because Gucci made it, doesnt mean u look good in itrite? and folks would be wise to bear that in mind, when spending their entire life savings on a pair of shoes, that they cant walk in, which will be out of season next week and dont do anything to accentuate the leg dahling Hahaha
18. Where would you retire to?
Classic '05 answer below still remainsA nice island with a nice beach... it doesnt matter where aslong as they printed my face on the money.19. Favourite time of the day?HOMETIME!!!!!!! Woop! Woop!20. What was your most memorable birthday?
Yep... '05 answer with additionsOoh I have had some really good ones- my 18th was Parties, Meals and then Times Sq, Broadway and New York, my 21st was Parties, meals which went on for a week!Then the fesitivities culminated in a surprise trip to Prague- ( there that bragging again...)but out of them all my favourite was my 7 year old party at Wimpy's (like Mcdonalds for u poor folks who don't know or remember it ) when I wore my Minnie mouse ears and heels! That ensemble was quite historic!
And my T7 girlies just took it to the limit, with my 1/4 of a century bday last yr - from my breakfast in bed, Veuve Cliqueot brunch and my trip to Gary Rhodes restaurant in London - to be then picked up from the trip to be taken for a full body massage... yeah it was quite a stellar 25th b'day in fact!
21. Dream Job?
'05 ANSWER REMAINS -( I'm a consistent mo'fo what can I say? ' Dont say I didnt warn ya '- Jay Z 'No Hook' )
To Act and Sing all day and get paid for it would be quite nice yes, Although I wouldnt say no to being the President of the United States either for like a day...maybe a week...
22. Favourite sport(s) to watch?Basketball baby!! Love the Olympics too just because I love athletes - I mean athletics... ;-) hahahaIn fact a six pack and muscles anytime of the day really, it doesnt even have to be sports related...23 Who do you least expect to send this back to you?My Matt definitely - altho Im sure you'll be quoting back to me the nonsense I said in this thing - long after I send it.
24. Person you expect to send it back first?
Gigi my dearest sister in alllllll of the world - because now u've left my ass for NY and all we have is email communication - u have no freakin choice!! ha!
25. What fabric detergent do you use?
U know sometimes I crack myself up... in which case my '05 answer remains...Oh there's an interesting question.. who in the hell wants to know what detergent I use? I mean what kind of a person wants to know what detergent I use?? I mean really get a freakin life... (and of course its Ariel, what else??)
26. Coke or Pepsi?
Neither really. I dont really touch the stuff anymore cos one tooth extraction is ENOUGH....
But if I get dentures when Im 70 - I'll be straight back on the Coke again- please believe it! haha
27. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Im an nightbird aslong as no-one is getting my ass up @ 7.30am the next morning...28. What is your shoe size?
Obviously what this 'ish doesnt change in four years ( unless you are seven yrs old) so the 05' answer is the same
I plead the fifth.Okay,Okay, Okay!!!I wear a size 7 but Im 5"8 and if they were any smaller I'd spend my entire life tripping over!Not that Im hung-up about the size of my feet or anything, I just thought u should know...
29. Do you have any pets?
Im happy to report that this '05 answer remains also- which is a huge freakin shocker because the turnover of Pets in my house was unmatched @ one time...Jack my cat is the coolest cat in all the land! and before u ask, yes he does prefer whiskas and the rumours that Love,Love,Jack.com is a website dedicated to him are unfortunately false.30. Any words of wisdom you'd like to share with your friends?
Oooh great a chance to spout completely random nonsense again (Trust me , I was born to do it...) Um, let me think of something poetic, deep, and inspirational!!
I'm thinking....
Stilll thinking...
And Yeah Im still thinking...
Got it
DO: Tell the truth @ all times.
DON'T: Expect that 'ish to pay off in any way shape or form
And remember:

And yes- I added the darling bit myself

32. What are you doing today?Well Im not collecting the Oscar for Best Actress and the Grammy for Best R&B album, I can tell u that….And all I can say is, its too boring, banal, and monotonous to even type out. Sorry.
Now, Now, folks...
33. Who is the last person you want to see when your life on earth is
over?Someone who loved me unconditionally for who I was -and not for who they wanted me to be...( I cant believe I went all philosopical and meaningful on you - I was trying so hard to keep this 'ish superficial! hahaha )34. What is the farthest this email will travel to reach a friend?N.Y.C. baby!
Dont hate me for sending this nonsense...AGAIN.
AS THE BLAME STILL LIES WITH THE folks that taught u how to read
