Evenin', TWibe! I'm still cracking up from last week's Deuce Club, which saw y'all recount your most embarrassing stories. If you missed it, make sure to go back and take a look! Next week is a big one, with the arrivals of the ATP year-ending championship (I still can't bear to call it the WTF) and Thanksgiving. I'm not sure which one I'm looking forward to more - probably depends on what happens at the tournament - but I do know this place'll be buzzing during what's normally a quiet time of the year. Feel free to use today's DC to discuss your predictions and/or frazzle over your favorite's draw, but hold those Thanksgiving thoughts and plans 'til next Friday, when I'll devote this post to the holiday.
Below are the questions I'd like y'all to consider, along with my answers. Go ahead and set yours up in the same way, and try to whip through 'em quickly so conversation keeps moving. Your initial reaction is probably the truest one, anyway, right?
Here goes:
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Any scenario involving my family, a beach, Korean food, music, and of course, tennis.
What is your greatest fear?
A loss of control. (See why I don't drink?)
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
I put way too much pressure on myself. Goes hand in hand with perfectionism and OCD.
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Insincerity. Be real, dangit!
*
What is your greatest extravagance?
Tennis trips! Heck, Indian Wells alone.
*On what occasion do you lie?
When telling the truth would only result in hurt feelings.
When and where were you happiest?
I'd like to think it hasn't happened yet. If I had to go with something that has: As a child, being awoken by the sun on a Saturday morning, reaching for an Archie Comic or Nancy Drew mystery, and reading for hours in bed, with my sister Elizabeth doing the same right beside me.
*
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?*
Just one? Maybe ... that I weren't such a crier.
If you could change one thing about your family, what would it be?
That they all lived in the same town as me.
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Not being able to express oneself.
How would you like to die?
Quickly, quietly, and with a smile on my face.
Uh oh, now that OCD is making me want to revise all my responses ... guess that means it's time to turn it over to you! Answer away, and have a great weekend!
