Here's the Five:

1. “My hands are tied” is an English-language cliche that means “I’d like to do something about this unfortunate situation, but I don’t have the ability or authority.” In what current situation do you feel your hands are tied?

I would like to purchase an external hard drive, but they're very expensive!

2. Railroad ties are the evenly-spaced slats that lie perpendicular to train tracks and whose function is to hold the tracks in place and to distribute the weight of the train. Who are the railroad ties in your life?

The people who keep me "on track" include my parents, my therapist, my vocational counselor, and of course my friends.

3. What are your feelings about Thai food?

Most of it I don't think I would eat. I'm not into spice or heat, nor am I a fan of vegetables.

4. Whose thighs do you admire?

I don't usually notice thighs. I'm sure Paula Abdul has nice thighs, because she's a dancer. But does she dance anymore, or just act nuts on American Idol?

5. A red tide is a proliferation (in ideal circumstances) of oceanic algae that often seem to discolor seawater and threaten other sealife. If the ocean is your life and the algae the harmful attitudes, thoughts, or moods that crowd out the good stuff, under what conditions in your life is red tide most likely to become a problem?

Anxiety and doubt are the red tide conditions of my life.
