I had been meaning to post this for a few weeks, but just kept forgetting. 

It’s funny how long I sat here and scoured my mind for answers…the titles of each category are misleading…as if the answers (called ‘Top 5 favorites’) are critical to my daily life.  They’re not…Most of these answers are either painfully extracted from my brain or painfully suppressed (because I have 5 more songs/movies/moments that changed my life/places I want to travel, etc)

I hate doing these surveys…I rarely read other peoples…but since I did read Eric’s and did read Siona’s and they both ‘tagged’ me (cuz we’re cyber-children), I caved…

SO, HERE’S TO THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP…I GIVE YOU MY ‘TOP 5’ LIST

Things under $5 that I couldn’t live without (yes, I could)

Dental Floss, Diet Cherry Pepsi, razor, cotton facial pads (NOT cotton balls), yellow legal pads

Favorite movies (don’t be fooled, there are lots of others)

Jaws, Fletch, Band of Brothers, Royal Tennenbaums, Silence of the Lambs, Once…

Baby names I love (I really only have ever thought of Hannah, but don’t necessarily want a girl…I just love her character and nobility in the Bible.  The rest were a stretch)

Hannah, Quincy, Max, Tabitha (for obvious reasons),

Songs I could listen to over and over again (5+)

With or Without You by U2, How Deep the Father’s Love, God Is Good, Desperado by the Eagles, Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder, Faithfully by Journey, Fantine’s Dream (Les Mes) and anything Wicked Tinkers!…

People who have influenced me in a positive way (waaaaaaaaaaaay too many to count, but…) Pattycake, Brad Brock, Doug Bookman, Jai Anderson, Scott Burns/Vinson, Kristjan, Andrea Kolstad, Katherine….so so so many people…

Things that are always in my purse

Smart Phone/case (with CCs, ID, etc), Business Cards, Title Insurance Rate Booklet, My camera (new edition), Garage Door Opener

Moments that changed my life forever

A particular moment, one night, during my parents divorce.  A particular scene in Dances With Wolves, 7/4/91 Fireworks in Boston, getting paired with some girl named Jennene to do ‘special music’, being attacked in downtown SF, Dewey Bertollini at Hume Lake talking about knowing God’s word and Israel, a conversation with Jeremy about gossip in ‘95, reading Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 for the 1st time (as HW for a Bookman class), learning about my dad’s wedding 6 months afterwards, my 1st certified dive…

Places I would like to go

Anywhere at any time…New Zealand, Uganda, Yap, South America, Cuba…

Appliances or kitchen tools I couldn’t live without (yes, I could)

Microwave? Paper towels? Spoons?

People who I would like to see their top 5’s (I don’t want to burden anyone with this, but for the sake of the game…)
Jennene Margrave, Kristin Harvey, Trevor Seelye, Christina Leaman, Greg Smith, Obama, Todd Bolen, King Herod, (Jeff Lewis from Flipping Out), yours (?)
