PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.25

1. Do you wear glasses/contact lenses? If so would you consider going through Lasik surgery? (Or if you already have, please tell us about it)

I wear glassesin daily life and contacts on the stage. I would love to go through the surgery but I never would. I have been wearing glasses for so long that I could not imagine not wearing them until the day I died. Plus, they are like a shield. They hide my quasimodo-like face.

2. Did you ever have to wear braces? How are your teeth? (any cavities, any pulled teeth, root canals, etc.)

Nope. Always wanted to but everyone seems to think my teeth are very strr8. I had one cavity and had to have a root canal. That was an experience.

3. What (if any) recent movies have moved you emotionally? Which one and how so?

Nothing within the last year or so. The two that stand out most in my mind are Billy Elliot and The Cure. I was just bawling like a baby (moreso in the second).

4. I visited my dear Mema in the managed care facility Sunday and while she is doing well, I was sad for her. Living out your final days/years someplace like that seems so lonely to me. Would you rather live the remainder of your golden years in a rest home, or pass away before it came to that?

Put me out of my misery. My grandmother was put in a home and it killed me to see her there because I know she was miserable.

5. Sometimes, but not nearly often enough, I will just stop and marvel at the amazing planet on which we live. The eco-system, life and death, nature, the perfect balance that keeps us alive, the universe, it can all be mind-boggling if you let your mind get carried away. What natural creation or phenomenon just flat-out leaves you with a sense of wonder?

The aurora borealis and the galaxy pictures and star births taken by the Hubble.

6. Have you ever been in a fist fight or a situation where you had to get physically violent with someone else? How did that come about? Any consequences?

Yes, when I was 10 years old. We got into a fist fight on the bus and I won. We we arguing about something really stupid and it came to blows. The consequence was that I became a physical pacifist. I can remember looking out my bedroom window still out of breath and swearing I would never fight with someoen else again.

7. Many times I look back in hindsight and think of how I should have handled a situation. Are there any recent happenings that you wish you would have handled differently? What happened and what do you wish you'd done?

Oh god yes. ALL the time. Recent ones....hmmmm.....never mind...the person to whom it refers reads this site and I wouldn't want their feelings hurt.

BONUS: How far away can you go, and still be dancing with me?

Literally: two feet. Figuratively: Not far enough.
