    14 - Embarrass myself

    17 - Far often I say too little, though my husband might disagree…. :)

    18 - Do it alone

    19 - Never tried either, but I’d rather try paintball

    20 - nighttime cold drugs - if I can sleep I’m happy.

    I need a nap too.

    Tactful. Dickens. Amazon. Jimi. Jobs. Sunlight. Vaughn. Biology. Store bought, but I’d rather have homemade. Bold. WTF. Cynical. Foreign cinema (I almost typed “cynima” after my last answer). Embarrassing someone else embarrasses me, so I guess it’s sort of the same thing. Iced tea with lemon in it. Hammer. Too much. Collaborate. Lasertag. Nighttime.

    Say too much - I always, always do.
    Collaborate - less pressure this way :)

  21. Megan F Says:

    Can’t you be both? I prefer blunt, though.

    Joyce

    Amazon

    Jimi

    Billy Boy

    Starlight

    Vince

    Biology

    Depends on what. cookies - homemade. ice cream - store bought

    bold

    OMG! WTF???

    So cynical.

    Unfair question.

    Myself

    Iced Tea

    Hammer.

    WAY TOO MUCH!

    Alone.

    Laser tag

    Daytime

  22. Leslie Says:

    Blunt…scary to some, but easier in the long run

    Dickens

    Amazon

    Prince

    Gates

    Sunlight…mood enhancing vitamin D is needed here!

    Vince Vaughn

    Biology (seeing as I am a microbiologist)

    Homemade

    Bold

    WTF

    Cynic…occasionally, Idealist…it’s just easier

    Foreign

    Embarass myself (fairly regularly)

    Lemonade

    Hammer

    This one is tough, I have a habit of saying too much when the situation does not warrant saying anything, and then saying nothing when things need to be said. Bad habit really.

    Collaborate

    Laser tag (paintball hurts, and I really am not a fan of pain)

    Daytime.

    Do it alone (and get it over with aqap)
