V Favorite accomplishment?

[CrazyCholeBlack]

^ my film, even if it's never going to be finished. Had more people tell me that it couldn't get as far as it did given the circumstances & we proved them wrong.

< Just can't count the little swab as an accomplishment. I just gave her the genes & the opportunities. How she responds & grows is all her own doing.

V Are you a cannibal?

< I hate renting. I love owning.

V Describe your worst neighbor.

[Red-Handed Jill]

^ I'd have to say it is a toss-up between the drunk who made all sorts of noises coming home at 2:00 am and kept subletting to other losers. Or the psycho family I grew up next to: the father attacked a couple of girls with a knife, the kids used to torture their dog and the mother used to throw garbage on our lot.

< Heh - try owning in the SF Bay Area. Almost impossible.

V Describe your best neighbor.

[CrazyCholeBlack]

^ in the last house we had a neighbor who was like my long lost sister. We actually fenced our yards together that's how close our families were. I can't even begin to describe it. It was so beyond the "borrow a cup of sugar neighbors", more like "can I borrow a kidney" we were so close. I'd still go to the ends of the earth if she called today & needed me.

< She balanced out the crack heads on the other side who called the cops on us (for giving their dog water on a 100* day) & then screamed & swore at the cops. They were nuts.
