20 questions..

OK, a few more than twenty.
Shayla came across this on sarina's site. The questions are personal, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. They don't have a thing to do with being Gorean. But they sure unfold a lot about a person.

Here are shayla's answers......

Have you ever...?

snuck out of the house - No, shayla's father never cared when she went out so she didn't have to sneak.
gotten lost in your city - No. She may not have known precisely where she was, but she's never been lost.
seen a shooting star - Yes. Wished on it, the wish came true, though not precisely the way shayla'd have hoped. But it worked out for the best anyhow.
been to any other countries besides Canada - Never even been to Canada
had a serious surgery - Does having your tubes tied count?
gone out in public in your pajamas - Only if going out to check the mail counts as 'public'
kissed a stranger - Yes, it was fun.
hugged a stranger - Yes, was the prelude to the kiss
been in a fist fight - Never, nor any other type of fight
been arrested - No, shayla's notoriously claustrophobic. Being in handcuffs'd make her panic.
laughed and had milk/coke come out of your nose - Yes, years ago. Thanks for reminding her how much it hurts.

been close to love - All the time

skinny dipped - No, but shayla's wanted to. Must work on that.
skipped school - Never. School was too entertaining to skip
