Another meme. Nobody tagged me specifically, but several of the blogs I read suggested that anyone so inclined should do this one. It seemed like a good time to figure out where I stand on these issues, so here goes.
Five things I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Endow my children
2. Buy a beach house in Tahiti and fill it with driftwood, shells and sea glass
3. Travel more. I want to visit Tibet, Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Africa, and all the places with exciting names like Amazon River, Zanzibar, Machu Pichu, Rio de Janeiro, Casablanca
4. Buy gifts for people whenever I felt inspired
5. Buy a Victorian house in San Francisco to live in between trips. (For that, I would have to be a MULTI-millionaire.)
Five bad habits:
I wish I could give you something entertaining, like stealing quarters from blind street musicians or running after old ladies' wobbly butts with hatpins, but hey, nobody's perfect!
1. Interrupting. (I'm from New York.) I'm working on it.
2. Excessive blogging (Is this "bad?" You tell me.)
3. Holding grudges (sometimes)
4. Aiming Killer Glares at cigar smokers in public places
5. Letting my hair grow unimpeded. (I hear the troll look is in.)

5. Fighting losing battles
Five things I would never do:
1. Commit suicide or murder
2. Wear hurtful shoes for more than a few hours
3. Vote for Schwarzenneger

5. Watch re-runs of Friends
Five things I regret doing:
1. Giving up my acting career
2. Deferring to others out of fear whenever I've done so
3. Some of my past relationships are extremely regrettable
4. Being too self-absorbed at times to be the parent my children deserved
5. Putting my foot in my mouth far too often
Five favorite things:
