Preferably nothing about those donkeys in Cozumel. I'm serious.

      My face. Or my hair. ONE?!?!? GAH. My face.

      Can you tell this question is killing me? Seriously. The questions about the death penalty don't seem to cause me such internal conflict. Sad, really.

      I could if I wasn't being followed by anyone. If I was being pursued, I'm quite sure I'd lose my mind. My anxiety would get the best of me.

      Omai. Mama loves to shake it, to be honest. To dance to the likes of Paula Abdul (yeah, I said it) and Madonna with wild abandon and the assistance of a stiff drink. Or two.

      I'm a much better singer, however, even though I'm afflicted with a slight singing-through-my-nose issue, one that I hope to correct when independently wealthy through singing lessons likely bartered for editing help with the assistance of Craigslist.

      Tmi, natch.

      Ooooh. I'd go to the Crime and Punishment Museum close to Chinatown (http://www.crimemuseum.org/) and then have lunch or an early dinner at Matchbox (http://matchboxdc.com/) after. I recommend the Fire and Smoke pizza for those who love the spiceh.

      If you have more time, I'd hit up some of the northern Virginia wineries. Let me know if you want more information on those.

      I have many, many, maaaaaany happy memories. This silly one has been coming to mind quite a bit lately.

      It's hard to choose one -- right now it would be equal health care coverage for mental health visits and more access to psych professionals. The state of coverage for most people is abominable.

      I mostly hate my cell phone. I often turn it off, to remind me that I exist off the grid, that I'm more than Twitter and Foursquare and text. I lived a long life before I was completely accessible, and often miss it.

      Losing my father has made me more appreciative of my mother, more mindful of my interactions with her. I appreciate her more, try to treat her with more respect rather than reverting to my 12-year-old antics when she and I hit a bump in our relationship road.

      Losing my father has left me with holes inside, noticeable in the oddest of moments, those times when I wonder if I need my oil changed, when I have a question about shellfish. I ache that he will never see me married or publishing a book or reforming myself, just as I have over the two years since he's been gone.

      Losing my father has made me more committed to doing something with this life, just as he did, to traveling and leaving an imprint. To being kinder and knowing when to sacrifice your own needs for another. To being more human in my everyday. I'm guessing parents could ask for very little more.

      I'm lucky in that I have no regrets. My father and I lived lives with one another in almost complete honesty, no grudges held and an odd appreciation for who the other was, embracing it as completely as we both could. I worshiped most every part of him and am happy to say that I bear a number of his traits. I'm also happy to say I think he'd be proud of where I am today.

      But I'm not the same person. And perhaps most ironically, I've yet to quit smoking. It's on the long list.

      Thank you very much. Funny how the nicest Formsprings are always anonymous.

      Fantastic question.

      I'd write it all down, all of it, even if I saved some posts in draft indefinitely.

      I'd care less about what people thought of what I was writing.

      And I wouldn't have taken any breaks.
