4. When did you last cry?
When I hit myself in the mouth with a yardstick.
5. Do you like your handwriting? Depends on how much time I have to write. When I go slowly, it's cute. When I'm in a rush, it's hard to distinguish from Farsi.
6. What is your favorite lunch meat? It's a tie between salami and honey-roasted turkey.
7. What is your birth date? May 1.
8. What is your most embarrassing CD? Spice World by the Spice Girls, but in my defense I took it from my sister.
9. If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you? I don't know - I'm very stubborn. How could I ever win with myself?

20. Do you regret your decision to fill in the missing questions? Haven't done that yet.
21. Do you plan to stop doing that now since it's taking forever? No, I think I'll get started from this point..
