1. What's the longest you've gone without sleep and why? Maybe 30 hours or so, not too bad. I went out with a girlfriend on a Friday night, we stayed out 'til 6 a.m. and had to start baling hay an hour later - 7:00 Saturday morning. 8 hours in a hot, itchy hayloft hefting 50 lb. bales with a wicked hangover/still kind of drunk/on no sleep. Least fun day of my life, hands down.

2.What is the most memorable class you've ever taken? Family law. Mostly because I loved the professor, but I was also really intrigued by it. I really loved all my law classes, though.

3. If you could own a wild animal for a pet, what would you choose? Zebra. Definitely zebra.

4. If you were offered $100 million dollars, would you make a sex tape with a celebrity that was certain to go public? If FI was cool with it, absolutely. I don't think FI would be cool with it, though...

5. Where did you go to be alone when you were a kid (like a "safe place")? We built a "fort" in the woods behind my parents' house. It was the best.

6. In five years, what does your life look like? I'll either be in a different career or a SAHM. Couple kiddos, white picket fence in the suburbs. I don't need/want much, I'm all about the simple life.

I was afraid of that AATB.

1. What's the longest you've gone without sleep and why? 

Around 36 hours. I was doing my residency and studying for boards.

2. What is the most memorable class you've ever taken? 

Russian Lit & History. My professor was an adorable old lady from Russia, and she brought in lots of memoirs, toys from her childhood, and photographs. I loved when she'd talk about the different customs and share her personal stories. She was absolutely fascinating. Hearing her take on the Cold War, Chernobyl, and other historic events was priceless.

3. If you could own a wild animal for a pet, what would you choose? 

Shark. Yes, FI thinks I'm insane.

4. If you were offered $100 million dollars, would you make a sex tape with a celebrity that was certain to go public? 

Is FI okay with it? Who is the celebrity? I mean, if it's Iggy Pop, then no. Johnny Depp, yes.

5. Where did you go to be alone when you were a kid (like a "safe place")? 

I used to ride my bike to the duck pond by our house. My bike had a basket, so I could bring a book and snack with me. It was also close enough to hear my mom yelling for me.

6. In five years, what does your life look like? 

Married, living in Chicago, no kids, two cats, and hopefully I'll have traveled to Europe by then.

I hate that I know what a Cleveland Steamer is.  Poop is not sexy.  People are depraved.  I wish I could be ignorant and blissful.  And now poor Mari is probably scarred for life.

We all protested to the department responsible for overseeing the course, but they couldnt do anything because he was technically employed by a neighboring college that we were connected with.  I ended up "dropping" the course (it was a 2 semester course), so while the D didnt count in my GPA it shows up on my transcript with a little asterisk.

1. What's the longest you've gone without sleep and why? 38 hours. sadly it was because I was working

2.What is the most memorable class you've ever taken?  I loved my American Government teacher 

3. If you could own a wild animal for a pet, what would you choose?  A cougar. Not the Demi Moore variety, think more like big cats 

4. If you were offered $100 million dollars, would you make a sex tape with a celebrity that was certain to go public? Yep. I'm with LC, there's almost nothing I wouldn't do for 100 million.

5. Where did you go to be alone when you were a kid (like a "safe place")? I liked to hide in my closet and read books.

6. In five years, what does your life look like?  Probably not a lot different. Well, hopefully this kid will be outside, not still inside, because that'd be kind of awkward.

LOL Eagles - yes, a lot of the stuff I know can be attributed to my guy friends as well.  Those creepy bastards.

Huh, I just texted H about the sex tape thing.  He says I could have sex with a celebrity, but no tape.  I guess I don't get $100 million.  Prude.

That makes sense, I didn't have a lot of guy friends growing up, well I had two and they wouldn't tell me anything.

<div>Oooh.. Good ones :)</div><div>
</div><div>1 - Longest - probably about 36 hours - we stayed up all night playing poker, made pre-fishing pancakes around 4 AM and headed out in the canoe/paddleboat with fishing poles and bait as the sun came up at 5.  We made it until after lunch when we all took naps.  I was in high school at the time so amazingly there was no alcohol involved in this plan.  Most sleep deprived.. finals week right before college graduation.  I got about 16 hours of sleep in the 5 days before graduation.  </div><div>
</div><div>2- I took a French theater and culture class in college that was kind of awesome.  It was my last French class (after 10 years of study) that I took and we read plays in French and had to write papers about them in French. It was a real immersion kind of class and I loved it.</div><div>
</div><div>3 - I think I'd choose a tiger.  I think Swiss Family Robinson might have influenced this decision.</div><div>
</div><div>4 - If H was okay with it - yeah.  I'd have my 15 minutes of fame, take they money and open up a B&B in Breckenridge.</div><div>
</div><div>5 - I had a daybed when I was a kid and it was pulled back about 3 feet from the wall and I had a bunch of pillows and an extra comforter back there.  I'd crawl back there and read a book and hide out from the world.</div><div>
</div><div>6 - Two fruit loops, H working in the office so he's home every night (instead of the field like he is now) and we go hiking and camping with our weekends and do a beach vacation every winter to somewhere tropical - with or without the fruit loops depending on the year :).</div>

[QUOTE]1. What's the longest you've gone without sleep and why?  <strong>I think it was almost 24 hours.  It was when I used to work retail in my first two years of college.  I went to school that day and then had to do inventory at the store overnight.  I think we got done around 4 or 5 in the morning and went to be shortly thereafter.

</strong>2.What is the most memorable class you've ever taken?  I<strong> loved all my psychology courses.  I think I probably should have looked in to pursuing a higher degree in psych after I graduated.  I think my most memorable were either human sexuality, abnormal psych, or race and sterotype.

</strong>3. If you could own a wild animal for a pet, what would you choose? <strong>It's a tie between a monkey or a Liger

</strong>5. Where did you go to be alone when you were a kid (like a "safe place")?<strong> In the park across the street from my house, there was this area with a tree and some bushes.  You could crawl in to the bushes and it was like a little cave.  I could just chill there for hours.

</strong>6. In five years, what does your life look like?   <strong>Married and have started our family.  Will hopefully have the first kid popped out with the other one on the way.  I will have succeeded in my plan to be a stay at home mom and quit my job too.

Yeah, I was surprised more people wouldn't say yes to the sex tape too.  a) When else would you get to get it on with a celeb and b) $100 million is a crap ton of money.  My guess is FI would fully support that decision!
