Life aside from Disney (questionaire)

**MommytoMJM** · 05-26-2005, 12:50 PM

Ok, so I thought we could see what we all like to do aside from our Dinsey obsession!

The only rule: No Disney Answers!

Favorite color: Purple

Favorite Movies: Shadowlands, Star Trek (s) and Lord of the Rings (tho it took me YEARS before I agreed to see it)

Favorite Authors: Tolkien, Lewis, Anne McCafferey, Peter David

Favorite Genres: Fantasy (LotR, Pern, Xanth, Narnia), Star Trek

Hobbies: playing my flute, crafts (crochet, scrapbooking, quilling, painting, and many more), reading,

Marital Status? Kids? Married (8 years this halloween), One (Marjorie June Mailani, born 2-6-01 adoption finalized 11-14-01)

Passions: Adoption advocacy, Special Needs (disability) advocacy

Something ppl wouldn't know about you:
I left home at 14, dropped out of high school and was emanciapted (divorced my parents) I returned to college, got one degree, took my GED and then went back to college and got a second degree. The business I ended up owning had NOTHING to do with either of my two college degrees.

**DissyLove** · 05-26-2005, 01:25 PM

Favorite color: Navy Blue

Favorite Movies: Good Will Hunting, Say Anything, Gone With the Wind, Jerry Maguire

Favorite Authors: Wally Lamb, James Patterson

Favorite Genres: Anything charecter driven or storytelling focused-fiction, autobiographies..I love a good story
Favorite Animal: Hmmm....Pigs. Yes, pigs. I think they are cool, and underrated as animals, pets.....and for some, food.

Favorite Food: My diet consits of my favs-diet coke, barbeque chips, and steak. Anyone who knows me knows I love to eat. I think chasing after my three kids and staying active in their sports (I soccer coach, little league, you name it!) helps me keep my weight somewhere in a normal range.

Hobbies:Hobbies? Well, I have three kids and have sort of given up hobby time for now. But I love reading, walking, and writing.

Marital Status? Kids? Married for almost 10 years to a really great guy, my best buddy. We somehow have created 3 beautiful children together, a serious little boy, Jack, who is 7, a passionate, complicated daughter, Anna, 5, and a little suprise girl, Christina, who arrived last July. She is fun loving and we are thrilled with our family.

Passions: Women's rights causes. I have been involved in domestic violence education and support, and children's rights. But other than the thing I am not allowed to mention on this questionaire, the well being of my family is my passion.

Something ppl wouldn't know about you:
There are tons!! But unless you asked, you might not know that I lived in Mexico for a year, and once had my passport stolen in Paris and had to reside in the American Embassy in France until I was able to prove my identity and obtain a new passport (I am still red-flagged when I travel!)

Something you are proud of yourself for:
Getting a college education, and finding a way to have my own career and still manage to put my family first by working from home. I am also proud of my marriage-it's great, and we've worked REALLY hard to keep it that way.

**MandaBella** · 05-26-2005, 04:26 PM

Favorite color: Various shades of reds and whites...burgundy, pale pink, and white look great on me.

Favorite Movies: This will change almost every time you ask me. It's like asking me what my favorite song or musical is. Let's see what comes to mind: Fred&Ginger movies from the 1930s, Willy Wonka, The Sixth Sense, Mommie Dearest, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Color Purple, Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes, Sense and Sensibility, West Side Story, The King and I, South Pacific, The Sound of Music, Stage Door, The Omen, Poltergesit, E.T., Indiana Jones, The Goonies, Stand BY Me, The Shawshank Redemption, Carrie, Chicago, Babe, Clue, The Muppets Taken Manhattan, The Muppet Movie, The Exorcist, Office Space, Dead Again, Young Frankenstein, etc.

Favorite Authors: Judy Blume, J.K. Rowling

Favorite Genres: Really any well thought out story with well developed characters will appeal to me. I guess my favorites would be musicals, historical, drama, adventure, thrill/suspense/horror, and "family/children." I love a good ghost story and find most movies labelled comedy aren't that funny. The reason I love Mommie Dearest is because it makes me laugh.

Favorite Animal: I'm allergic to the cute and furry ones, but I did adore my pet guinea pig when she was alive.

Favorite Food: Almost anything Italian or Greek minus the les poissons. Epi-Pens don't go well with dinner.

I also love a good Filet Mignon and nice glass of Chianti Classico Riserva (And no, I don't do liver or fava beans)

Hobbies: Internet, Music: Voice (Mezzo Soprano) and Piano (Not very well...LOL!), Bargain Shopping, and Theatre.

Marital Status? Kids? Married to DH for 5 years, been together for 8 years. We have no children currently.

Passions: Asthma/Allergy awareness and education. One asthma death is too many today. As a result I am very, very anti-smoking, which didn't make me popular in college! LOL! Intolerance in general. You don't have to like/agree with someone else's politics/religion/ethnicity/orientation/etc., but you don't have to bash and belittle people because they are different from you either.

Something ppl wouldn't know about you: Hmm...since I've been on the board for awhile now, I'm not sure what there is that most people don't know. Let's see... I love opera, espcially Italian and Mozart opera. I love scrapple, it's best fried and served with pancakes so the syrup gets onto the scrapple (Rapa makes the best). I'm an American Mutt of Italian/Sicilian, Puerto Rican, and German descent.

Something you are proud of yourself for: I honestly cannot think of anything. Everything I've accomplished in my life so far was pretty much either required or expected of me. I'm the first to go to college in my family, but honestly I'm really not proud of that fact. I'm more proud of my mother, my grandmother, and even my great-grandmother who all managed to accomplish a lot in their lives while overcoming many obstacles.
