20 Questions for Brooke

Egan: 1) Have you seen a grown man naked?
Brooke: I have, but I looked away modestly...so it was only for a moment.
Brooke: Oh for fuck’s sake, even I can’t do this one with a straight face. I’m 40 years old. I should hope I’ve seen a grown man naked by now.

Egan: 2) Do you like movies about gladiators?
Brooke: But of course - as long as they aren't wearing underwear.

Egan: 3) What was your first car?
Brooke: A 78 Datsun 510 (stick shift baby). It was pee-yellow with puke-green interior.

Egan: 4)  Tell me something unique about yourself.
Brooke: I always wear matching underwear –(bra and panties).
Brooke: I’ve mentioned underwear twice now.

Egan: 5)  Who was your first crush?
Brooke: My first crush...Richie Hill...kindergarten.
Brooke: Are we going back that far?
Egan: Yes, we are going back that far.
Brooke: Are you just coming up with these off the top of your head?
Egan: Yes

Brooke: No..excellent. Continue.

Egan: 6) Where is your most sensitive spot on your body?  (excluding private areas)
Brooke: My most sensitive spot is my back. I love it when…..never mind.

Egan:  7) What was your favorite Halloween costume?
Brooke: One year my best friend and I went out as assassins. We wore trench coats, heels, hats, sunglasses, very expensive lingerie – and nothing else. We carried water pistol machine guns and shot anybody that wouldn’t buy us a drink. I have a picture of us from that night, but unfortunately it’s in Florida and I am up here in Jersey.

Egan: 8)  Do you think it's bad to eat a whole pizza by yourself?
Brooke: I do not think that is bad...I have attempted to do so by myself on many occasions. But I have always failed.
Egan: I wish I failed more often at this.

Egan: 9)  If you could work any job you've worked before, which job would it be and why?
Brooke: I was a waitress in a cafe in Sydney Australia, actually Manly Beach. (big heavy sigh)
Egan: Was it the pay or the job duties that would keep you at that job?
Brooke: Location location location!!

Egan: 10)  Do you regret dating anyone in your past?
Brooke: Oh that is a loaded question.
Brooke: Hmmmm. I don't have regrets, but I would do some things differently now if I had the chance for a do-over. How’s that for diplomatic?

Egan: 11)  Do you believe in “do-overs” in life?
Brooke: I so believe in do-overs. In fact, that's something I’ve been meaning to blog about. Thanks for reminding me Egan!

Egan: 12)Do you keep in touch with your exes?
Brooke: I actually just made a call to one of my exes to meet for drinks tomorrow night. The rest of them are married, bastards!
Egan: Married guys suck.
Brooke: They do indeed.

Egan: 13)  Is Patrick Swayze gay?
Brooke: Patrick Swayze? I think the real question is "who cares?"
.
Egan: 14)  Do clothes complete a man or mask who they really are?
Brooke: I am the wrong person to answer that question.
Egan: I will handle that one.  Mask.
Brooke: You can't change my answers!
Egan: Of course not.
Brooke: I’ll just say that designer clothes do not impress me. I like men in jeans - Levi's jeans preferably.

Egan: 15)  Three goals you have for next year?
Brooke: Move to NJ – with a job.
Brooke: Buy a house.
Brooke: Find the right man.

Egan: 16)  Would you consider yourself to be a hopeless romantic or just patient?
Brooke: At first I thought that said "or just pathetic".
Egan: (I love that answer)
Egan: Moving on then.
Brooke: Pathetically hopeless?
Brooke: How about picky?

Egan: 17)  If you see a man you think is attractive, would you approach him or let fate run its course?
Brooke: Interesting you should ask that, it happened to me today.
Egan: Do tell.
Brooke: I saw a very good-looking guy at WaWa when I was getting my coffee. He looked at me - I looked him. This went on several times. I left. He left. He watched me get in my car. He smiled. I smiled. That was it.
Brooke: So that is your answer.

Egan: 18)  What two shows on TV do you have to see?
Brooke: Lost. Before that it was Buffy. I don’t think I have another one. I have a few I like but not many that I must see
Egan: I'm only asking for two.
Brooke: Ok. Give me a second.
Egan: Okay.
Egan: Invasion?
Brooke: No.
Brooke: Ok, Las Vegas. But only because I had a really raunchy sex dream about the star of the show. Ever since then I’ve been hooked. Oh! And I was really into Prison Break too.
Egan: So Prison Break or Las Vegas?
Brooke: Hmmm, the guy on Prison Break is way hot too. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

Egan: 19)  If you were to meet a blogger in person, what do you think their biggest surprise would be about you?
Brooke: Oh my.
Egan: What would they say "I never thought you would be ??????" so tall? so funny? so cute? so smart...etc.
Brooke: They might be surprised that I’m short. (5’3). And that I no longer look as hot in my bikini as I did in my infamous bikini picture. I also look nothing like my (current) profile picture.
Egan: ha
Brooke: I actually have a neck. And fingers. And a waist.
Brooke: And my eyes are the same size.
Brooke: And I have breasts.
Egan: Perfect.
Egan: Hey, have you met any bloggers in real life?
Brooke: I haven't - but I would love to!

Egan: 20) Finally, how has blogging changed your life?
Brooke: Good one! It's given me a great way to express myself. I've wanted a place to write and share my wacky stories and blogging is just the perfect outlet for that. And I’ve “met” so many awesome people. Where else can you share like this and get such great feedback? And get to read so much other great stuff as well! And let’s not forget the commenting. That’s almost more fun than the actual blogging!

Ha! Now it’s your turn Egan!

Author's note: Brooke is a charming person currently residing somewhere in North America.  She's one of eight first grade teachers in her school.  Please check out her blog when you get a chance.  You won't be sorry you did.  You may find out some revealing stuff about me on her blog.  Cheers from Florida!

I came over from The Babbling Brooke to find out more stuff about The Babbling Brooke, and I found out exactly what I already knew. Which is that she and I have exactly the same taste in men. Las Vegas and Prison Break. Hot. Hot. Hot.

So would it be more insulting to go to a man's blog and comment on the hotness of other men without commenting on the blogger himself, or to go to a man's blog and comment on him even though he's married?

[sandra]

Jill, I think the latter would be more insulting. I always think it's flattering when other women find the guy I'm with attractive but he comes home with me. Or at least that's what I remember from WAY back when.

Egan, thanks for the Qs -- I kind of stole them to answer on my own blog. Well...totally stole them, actually.

[captain_howdy_girl]

that was cute, I read most of it.
Patrick Swayze has been married to the same woman for like 25 years, she is a dancer and they own a dance school I think. I really shouldn't know that but I read a lot of bios.

[Flounder]

Brooke, that better be a damn good job in NJ if you are thinking about buying a house there. The place across from my mom's house on Dorsett Ave just sold for $425k, and it doesn't even have central air! I have come to accept that I'll never live there again unless I hit the Powerball!

[Brooke]

Flounder, your mom lives on Dorset? Mine is on Oxford - freaky. I can probably see your house from here!

And I'm hoping to find a rich man. Or at least one who can afford a hefty down payment.

[The Real Me]

I'm SO glad to know Brooke looks nothing like her current blog picture... that would be depressing!

[Tricia]

I feel like I really know Brooke now....

is this going to be a new feature for Egan's blog now?

[Pants]

Can't talk, off to rent gladiator movies.

[claudia]

I didn't get a chance to wish you a Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. So there you go.

Cheers,

Claudia

[sugarhigh]

that was hilarious. thanks for sharing. now i have to go check this chick out. I love her answer on Patrick Swayze. I almost fell off my chair.

[The Real Me]

Yeah, Patrick is a hottie... except for the fact that his has the honor of the lamest line in movie history: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!"

[Wendy]

Alright you two, what the hell is going on between you???LOL BTW, your first car sounds a lot like my first car...wait a minute, are they the same car? Mine really sucked the big dick of life, how bout yours? Egan, I still think your a punk...but a lovable punk! LOL

[egan]

I thought I commented on this post earlier. My own blog bit me. I blame the damn word verification tool for eating my comment. You know I would love to respond to all of you, but now isn't the appropriate time. Wait, maybe I did respond... but to the previous post. Shitballs. I will be back to my usual self later Thursday when we arrive back in Seattle sans les problemes.

[egan]

So tempted I am to respond to all comments, but mustn't do that now. Need to ready self for bed and early morning flight back to Seattle. I see the powers of blogging remain strong and me weak. (damn I'm a raging dork) A new post will be on here in 24 hours.

[Brooke]

Dork!

[kirk]

Who cares if Patrick Swayze is gay? He is going to release a hiphop album. This must be stopped.

[The Real Me]

Patrick as a hip hop artist?
That's just so seriously wrong!!

[Pants]

So did they feel you up at the airport?!

[egan]

Pants - the old folks in West Palm Beach didn't feel me up. It's really too bad since I have some extra cushion for the loving.

The Real Me - I hear he can dance and shit, but hip hop? We are doomed.

Kirk - that can't be true. Patrick Gayze and hip hop? That To Wong Fu movie really fucked with his head.

Brooke - yes, me is a dork and back home in Seattle. Yippee!

[Dobermann]

That's about time! I was getting bored while waiting your new post. So, on with it!

Hope you had fun at the "world's largest elderly home".. Uh, maybe that's why I like Florida that much? :o

[egan]

Dobermann - I don't even want to touch the Florida remark of yours. Don't make me call you a sick fuck.

[Brooke]

My interview bored Doberman. How will I ever recover?

[Dobermann]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. Point was that I was bored of waiting, not bored of that post.

And what's remarkable, I got the sarcastic tone in your comment.

Egan, old people are nice, they don't make noise late at the night in the hotel. I will not get into what you might have though I meant (or hoped?). lol Even though I have history of dating older women, I have kept it under 10 year difference..

Glad to have you back. ;)

[egan]

Brooke - I don't think he was bored with what our chat, but the fact that I hadn't posted since Monday.

Dobermann - you must be rather bright to understand my sarcasm when English is your second or maybe third language. I am truly impressed. You are a dirty bird man, dirty. I bet you love that show The Golden Girls.

[Dobermann]

LOL Well, I used to watch it when I was a kid.

Well, it's third, but unfortunately I'm just as dumb in my second and first language. ;)

[egan]

Dobermann - what's your second language? I assume Finnish is your native tongue. I'm going to guess either Swedish or Russian for second language and then English.

[captain_howdy_girl]

I've been reading her blog a bit, I'm diggin her.

[captain_howdy_girl]

I think dma knows english finnish and swedish. frog knows 3 languages too I think

[Dobermann]

Swedish, it's our second official language and everyone learns it at school as well as third language, but that's optional. Most go for English.

I've also studied French and German, but I never really got them going. I have had successful conversation in french with two french young ladies seven years ago, but I was so drunk I can't remember it. Friends told me.. So, it's somewhere deep in me. lol

[egan]

Captain Howdy - Brooke is a great read I tell you. She's also convinced I am gay. Makes for fun reading.

Dobermann - yeah, I know Swedish is your second language. That's cool that your so varied in your languages. We Americans suck at languages. We barely know that those in Mexico speak Spanish and not Mexican.
