Okay, you've all seen these things, a list of questions supposedly designed to help you get to know me better. Really, this list is pretty lame. The only things you need to know about me are that I'm totally awesome, totally hot, and I can kick your ass at tennis or trivia any day of the week. Other than that, what's to know? I'm pretty boring.

I once had a 100 Things list up, but I got tired of it and I haven't yet gotten in the mood to revise it. The following thirty questions are a meme that many of the Cotillion babes are answering this week. In our collective wisdom, we have all decided that questions like "what color is your bathroom" and "what fabric detergent do you use" are burning issues that our readers' lives cannot be considered complete without knowing the answers thereto.

So without further ado:

1. What time did you get up this morning? 5:30 a.m.
2. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds, never pearls.
3. What was the last film you saw at the movie house? United 93
4. What is your favorite TV show? I never miss American Idol or 24, but the best show on tv is Lost.
5. What did you have for breakfast? Starbuck's old fashioned donut, and a coffee.
6. What is your middle name? Grace
7. What is your favorite cuisine? Spanish
8. What foods do you dislike? I don't dislike sushi, but I'm afraid to eat anything raw.
9. What kind of car do you drive? 1994 Mazda MX-6
10. Favorite Sandwich? Thick slices of mozarella cheese with pesto, romaine lettuce and sun-dried tomato on a sesame seed roll. Try it.
11. What characteristic do you despise? When someone takes themself too seriously.
12. Favorite item of clothing? I'd have to say shoes.
13. If you could go anywhere in the world for a holiday where would you go? I totally want to see Japan.
14. What color is your bathroom? It is apartment beige.
15. Favorite brand of clothing? Ann Taylor.
16. Where would you like to retire? Hungary or Portugal.
17. Favorite time of the day? Right now, 4:45 p.m. because then it's almost time to go home.
18. What was your most memorable birthday? When I was in Jamaica. Correction, I don't really remember much about that day.
19. Where were you born? Copenhagen, Denmark.
20. Favorite sport to watch? Used to be basketball but the NBA sucks these days, so it's football.
21. What are you wearing right now? Coincidentally it's shiny black basketball shorts and my "guns+bombs=peace" t-shirt.
22. What star sign are you? Aries.
23. What fabric detergent do you use? Tide unscented.
24. Pepsi or Coke? I drink Coca-Cola, for a strong America.
25. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Night owl.
26. What is your shoe size? 8.
27. Do you have any pets? Sadly, no.
28. Any new exciting news youÂ’d like to share with your readers? My boyfriend and I are getting an apartment together next semester!
29. What did you want to be when you were little? Firefighter, if you can believe it.
30. What are you meant to be doing today? Writing something more creative than this.

3 Don't take this wrong, Annie, but unless the boyfriend is a classmate, you need to rethink the decision. Third year law school/bar preparation and non-law student roomies don't mix. Really. From next year to the date you take the bar exam, you need to eat, breathe and live law. You need to be a law nerd. Or, you risk losing control and having to take it over. A fate worse than death. I know people who couldn't face it the second time and did something else.

5 Coke, dammit! All American drink! Pepsi's the communist one! Hey, wait a minute... Coke's logo is all red. And Pepsi's is red, white, and blue... DAMMIT, Jody! You, you... aw, crap, you got me all messed up now!!!! Up is down, black is white, night is day... but dammit, I still say Coke is it!

7 Who here *didn't* know the answer to number 12?

8 Um, I'm sorry but I don't remember anyone here approving of this young fellow you call a boyfriend....and now you're moving in? You kids never call anymore!

9 Thirty nine (39%) percent passed the Bar this time, Annie. Want to knuckle down and get serious, or go back to typing and filing for lawyers? Think about it.

10 Where did you get the "guns+bombs=peace" t-shirt?

Try your hand at Tuning Spork's version of the iPod Name That Tune meme I made up last Saturday.

His versions are here and here.

I couldn't get any of them.

Okay here's a fun idea I just came up with. I was inspired by Sheila's old "Guess the First Lines of Novels" game, which is a lot of fun to look at, even though the game is long over.

Then I thought about my Friday iPod post. How boring is it to just post the songs, hoping you'll think I'm cool and all eclectic and shit. Why not give my readers a chance to show how cool you are.

So here's the opening four lines from ten random songs off my iPod. Some of them should be easy, and some will probably be impossible. You could google the lyrics, but I don't know how you'd sleep at night if you did so. Anyways, if you do google, don't post the answer because someone else might want to guess.

There are no prizes in this game, just good karma.

Can you guess the title and the artist? Green means somebody got it. Good luck!

1. We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
   We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
   She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
   She couldn't scream while I held her close


2. when a man is running from his boss
   Who holds a gun that fires Â’costÂ’
   And people die from being cold
   Or left alone because theyÂ’re old


3. Well they're still racing out at the trestles
   But that blood it never burned in her veins
   Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
   And a style she's trying to maintain


4. If I listened long enough to you
   I'd find a way to believe that its all true
   Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
   Still I look to find a reason to believe


5. There is freedom within, there is freedom without
   Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
   ThereÂ’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
   But youÂ’ll never see the end of the road while youÂ’re travelling with me


6. Love, look at the two of us
   Strangers in many ways
   WeÂ’ve got a lifetime to share
   So much to say and as we go on from day to day


7. Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
   Let me remember things I love,
   StoppinÂ’ at the log where catfish bite,
   WalkinÂ’ along the river road at night,


8. on a cobweb afternoon
   in a room full of emptiness
   by a freeway i confess
   i was lost in the pages


9. Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
   And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
   I met the walking dude, religious, in his worn down cowboy boots
   He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name


10. he bought a sterilized hypo
    to shoot a sex machine drug
    he got 24 hours
    to shoot all paulenes between the legs
