Last week I received another set of 4 questions, and though I’d said questions were closed, I’m posting and answering them because I like ‘em and I feel like it.

Last time you threw your head back and belly laughed and why?
This is really kind of embarassing, but it was last night when Patrick and my two best friends and I got rip-roarin’ drunk and watched the first season of The Golden Girls. Could I be any more gay?
The belly-laugh moment was during the episode “A Little Romance,” where Rose is dating a midget. When Blanche first meets the little person, she’s certain it’s a joke Rose has set up for her, and proceeds to totally embarass herself laughing at the funny “prank.” Eventually she realizes it isn’t a joke at all and Rue McClanahan’s transition from laughing to embarassment is brilliant. The priceless scene - one of the best on TV, ever - culminates when Blanche decides to redeem herself (to not do so would be “un-Southern”) and offers him hors d’ouevres.
Just go watch it. It’s hilarious, I promise.

Last time you cried and why?
Hmmm… I don’t cry easily or often. I’ve teared up a couple times over the years when Patrick and I’ve had a really serious argument, both because I was frustrated and upset and because I hate to see him upset, but the last time I really cried cried was when my dog of 15 years died last October.

Where are you ticklish?
Oh, man. Where am I NOT ticklish is an easier question. As Patrick will attest, I am ticklish everywhere. Really - EVERYWHERE. Patrick can torment me by just pretending to tickle me. If you want to stay on my good side though, don’t even try - I hate it!

Something about you Patrick doesn’t know?
Great question, but I can’t think of anything truly about me that Patrick doesn’t already know. So, sorry; no juicy confessions here.
But there is something kind of related that I don’t think he knows: How proud I am of him. It’s completely my fault for not telling him enough, but it’s just not something we tell our significant others very often, even though it’s almost as important as telling them we love them, which we do relatively frequently.
But I really am proud of him. I hope he can convince himself to believe me.
