What are five words you really like? 
Submitted by purplesque.

It's.Going.To.Be.Okay

Even if it's not, Even if it's going to be the furthest thing from okay.  Generally that's the case, when I need to hear those words the most, is when I already know it's unequivocally going to be the polar opposite of okay.  

But somehow, hearing them, first off makes me laugh because it's just so absurd, and second I like the idea that somehow, just by hearing that phrase from someone you love, it can, in fact, make it ok, even if it's only for that second in time.  So...all together now..."It's going to be okay."

Audio: What's your favorite carol or holiday song?

Ahem, we'll being that I am the worlds most miserable human and can find the melancholy in damn near everything, then my favorite Christmas Song would have to be the most heartrending one there is, "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas".  And yes it HAS to be sung by Judy Garland.  I'm sorry but any song that says, "someday soon we all will be together...if the fates allow" is SO my favorite song.

However, for a more recent, and by recent I mean the mid 80's, I have to say that my guilty pleasure would be Dan Fogelbergs, "Same Auld Lang Syne".  It's not my fault!  My mother loved the damn song and drilled it into my head, which I in turn did to my best friend Nick who is now also tormented by it hee hee. 

I will always remember driving along in my parents horrible brown K car, in the dirty depressing slush, with my mother not so quietly sobbing to this song.  After the very last verse, "and as I turned to make my way back home...the snow, turned into rain" she croaked out, "It ALWAYS does doesn't it!!"  I chuckled at her because I was a horrible, evil teenager, but now that I'm older, and wiser and being tormented by my own spawn and blah blah blah, I understand her a bit more.  It's still painfully cheesy, but in a good, depressing, Christmas way.

What are your predictions for the World Series?

Did I somehow never mention where I am from???  Ahem, I live smackdab in the middle of Red Sox Nation, therefore my prediction would be....The Red Sox baby! 

Because, really, what with insomnia, children who won't sleep, a spouse who gets up at 3AM for work, a new job to start on Monday AND an odd emotional response to the team my whole family adores, I just NEED to stay up till all hours for the next week and scream, scream for the home team.

Now THAT is a run on sentence to beat the freakin band.  Who is this band and why am I beating it?  Ugh, Must.Have.More.Coffee!
