Saturday Six - Episode 107
Here we go with another edition of six questions!
Last week, Carly of “Ellipsis…Suddenly Carly” was first to play last week for the third week in a row! Congratulations, Carly!
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. What new piece of technology have you resisted buying and what would it take for you to change your mind?
2. If someone was to go through a closet of your old clothes, what clothing style would you find most embarrassing?
3. The movie United 93 opened this week to controversies over whether or not it is too soon or not to deal with the events of September 11th. Do you have any desire to see this movie? Why or why not?
4. Take the quiz: How Class Works Without getting specific about any of the actual results, which category hurts you the most, and which helps you the most?
5. Of the results you got in the last question, which one was the biggest surprise and why?
6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #89 from Jamilynn: What is your favorite article of clothing? Is there a story behind it?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link in the Blogger profile and send it to me.
MY ANSWERS:
1. The most important technology I’ve resisted buying so far is a hybrid car. I do plan on buying a hybrid for my next vehicle, but so far, the costs have been too high to seriously consider one just now, even with the higher price of gas. Fortunately, I live less than two miles from work, so I don’t do a great deal of driving, anyway.
2. Probably the plaids. I remember a pair of blue and red plaid pants…yikes!
3. I don’t think it’s too soon, since we’re coming up on the fifth anniversary. I will probably see it by the time it comes out on DVD, but I doubt that I’d pay to see it in the theater.
4. “Wealth” hurts the most. (No surprise there.) “Education” helps the most.
5. The biggest surprise is the notion that having graduated from college places me at the 91st percentile, or within the top fifth. I guess I just expected that there were more college graduates than there actually are.
6. I really don’t have a favorite piece of clothing. The closest I could think of is the tie I was wearing when I had the chance to go behind the scenes at “The Price is Right” and tour Rodeo Drive and parts of Beverly Hills, although the tie itself had nothing to do with any of that…it just happened to be around my neck at the time.

Oh btw Patrick…you really should research the costs of owning a hybrid and the reality of the gas mileage difference. I have a friend who owns an auto shop who tells me several people have had to pay upwards of $2500 to replace the batteries in those things.
