Basics

Name:: Elizabeth Anne Laribee

Birthplace:: Garden City, Kansas

Birthdate:: December 16, 1983

Have You Ever

Been kissed:: Nope

Done drugs:: Nope

Eaten an entire box of Oreos: They come in boxes?

This or That

Chocolate or Plain Milk:: That is SUCH priming. “Plain”??? You might as well have called it “Sub par gross out sticky your mom drinks it” Milk. It would have been as fair. For that, I automatically choose it.

Are they hot?:: Yeah, I was right. I DO hate it.

Random

Who do you e-mail the most?: Myself. Which sounds so weird. Ahem. Actually, I send myself documents that I have to print out in the computer lab because I don’t have a printer. Good story, huh? I should tell it at parties.

Who do you IM the most?: Oooh, tough call. Hard to say. Depends. I’m out of similar phrases to say “eh, I dunno.”

Give hugs?:: Yep.

Give back rubs?:: Oh, I list it as a hobby.
