7. KAB. I wanted to give you a heart, but I read your sig.
And, I bought stars for people so they could give out hearts, because that's the kind of person I am.

13. as long as you gave it to someone else, that's all I want.
I have lots of love in my life, so I don't need these guys as much as others do.

52. Ah, but in real life, my favorites are all B list people, like
Courtney Love, Joan Jett, Deborah Harry, etc. There is honor in being a B lister.

27. Actually--
I had a really wonderful weekend that included cinnamon rolls, out for drinks (I was good) and going to my parents' for a really good Sunday dinner. It was the most pleasant and satisfying weekend I've had in ages. (Saturday was my birthday and I found out I really like not having to work that day)

How are you doing?

I don't think anyone needs a calendar circa sometime-in-the-1990's. That's the great thing about calendars; after a year, they get tossed out!

20. Famous DUers that I'm aware of
Most of the famous people who have posted here do so as a quick "Thank you for your help" kinda stuff. Like I know that one of Teresa Heinz's kid posted here a few times along with someone associated with Elizabeth Edwards.

Also, David Cross did an appearance on Conan O'Brian and he wore a DU tee-shirt!
