You're Jurassic Park!

by Michael Crichton

You combine all the elements of a mad scientist, a brash philosopher, a humble researcher, and a money-hungry attracter of tourists. With all these features, you could build something monumental or get chased around by your own demons. Probably both, in fact. A movie based on your life would make millions, and spawn at least two sequels that wouldn't be very good. Be very careful around islands.

Question #1: List the minimum you'd have to be wearing in order to feel comfortable doing the following :

a) go to work - pants and some sort of top
b) hang out at friend's place - sweats
c) attend a house party - pretty dress, plus makeup and hair
d) go to the gym - sweats
e) run to the dep to get milk – sweats but the cuter ones, cute boys live in the McGill Ghetto
f) take out the garbage - sweats
g) attend an at-work lunch celebration - coordinated bottom/top/shoe combo plus makeup and hair
h) go on a movie date - expressly picked-out outfit, plus makeup and hair- Yeah I am a total girly girl

Question #2: You out with a group of half a dozen or so people when you notice someone in the group whom you do not know well yet whose fortunes are not quite separate from yours (ie. coworker, friend's spouse) making one of the following faux pas. Choose your reaction from the numbered list. (Obviously some reactions listed are ludicrously inappropriate for some faux pas. Compact list, yada yada yada

a)spinach in teeth - pull the offender aside and mention it
b) bra strap showing - ignore it - some call it part of the outfit these days?!?!?!
c) actual bra showing - pull the offender aside and mention it
d) factual errors in conversation - point out the error in front of everyone; if they disregard your opinion, leave it
e) becoming unfortunately inebriated - pull the offender aside and mention it
f) stating controversial opinions as fact - ask someone who is closer to her to mention it later
g) saying they hate a certain minority group – I hope to never be in this situation or the next!
h) saying they hate a certain minority group...don't you? - point out the error in front of everyone; continue to argue the point until she either capitulates or one of you storms off
i) spraying food while speaking - ignore it but duck when necessary
j) drinking from your water glass - ignore it and get another glass ASAP

FOR LOVE OR MONEY? Well, once again love persevered, despite the fact that the girl was a total knob and the guy had some issues. What can I say, there goes 16 hours of my life that I will never get back. Could have been worse. I did get a wicked quote:
