Second, that you can't count on an iPod on shuffle to determine anything about your life.
Third, that I seriously have eclectic musical tastes.

typical?

I was talking to a friend today and he asked me what my favorite part of a man's body is. I told him and then he told me his favorite part of a woman's body. It was, of course, a pretty typical answer, especially for a Latino (Hips, thighs, and neck). It made me laugh because it was so predictable.

Here's my question, what's the stock answer for women? Ladies, what's the most common answer?

Leave a comment - it's for research purposes.


For the record, I'm a fan of nice, muscular forearms and big hands with nice nails.

Ummm, I totally can't remember... It was either church or my parents' house....

2) What was your status by Valentine's Day?
super single. Quite frankly, I'm not a Valentine's Day kinda girl even when I'm dating. I'd much rather not deal with the crowds and sit around at home eating Indian take-out and watching movies on the couch.

4) How did you earn your money?
Teaching Spanish

5) Did you have to go to the hospital?
Nope.

I got pulled over for doing 45 in a 25 zone just before I left for Vietnam. It was a female cop, so there was no getting out of it.

7) Where did you go on vacation?
Technically, Vietnam, although that was more of a working vacation, minus the trip to Ha Long Bay, most beautiful place on earth.

8) What did you purchase that was over $500?
A new computer to replace the one that was stolen, and my trip to Vietnam.

VA, and becoming okay with that.

Geez, I think I went out with Maggie... Yeah, that's what we did.

20) What has been your favorite moment?
Vietnam - all five/six weeks there, seeing Bethany for Thanksgiving, and countless others.
