    From Dwaber's site, natch.


    1.  What is the worst advice you've ever gotten?


    Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free. (discussing living with my boyfriend) PUHLEESE. This demeans men as mere milkers, and women as just dumb beasts. Sorry Mum.


    2.  What's the lamest (or bestest) pick-up line you ever heard? 


    Worst: "Has anyone ever told you that you have beautful eyes" Duh. No. I've had these eyes for umpteen years and no one, EVAH has told me they are beautiful.


    Best: "If I can make you laugh, will you have dinner with me?" A man who can make me laugh is 90% of the way WAY past dinner, baby.


    3.  What gives you peace?


    Not much lately.


    4.  How would you orchestrate the perfect evening, if money were no object?


    A balloon ride over Sydney Harbour, drinking Krug champagne, then a water taxi to Tetsuya's restaurant to sample the finest japanese fusion food in the South Pacific, finished by drinks at Level51 watching the sun set over the Opera House. If you are still game, then we'd head off to Liquid, the hippest happening club and dance our socks off until way too late - and then grab breakfast (eggs florentine) at Ravesi's at Bondi beach while we watched the surfers, ate up the sun and the sea breezes and drank Bloody Marys.


    5.  What have you tried--and failed--to understand?


    I got lost in Stephen Hawkings 'A Brief History of Time'. I tried mightily to comprehend the twin theory (one twin gets shot into space, the other doesn't and one ....er... is older. I think. My head hurts.) I shouldn't have cheated my way thru High School Physics, obviously.


    6.  Who has had the greatest impact on your life, but doesn't know it, and probably never will.  What was the nature of that impact?


    My grandfather. He died when I was 12, and I never ever got to tell him how his kindness and humour rounded out my character and smoothed out the spiky adolescent edges.


    7.  What have you hidden?


    The odd bill, the odd impulse purchase - but not for long. I tend to be upfront about everything, or it doesn't happen.


    8.  Can you describe a situation in which you would consider it okay to lie? 


    There's not many. Perhaps if the truth would serve only to wound or destroy. Often, people cling to their illusions, and you do no service by ripping them apart.


    9.  Who knows you best?


    No one. Not a living soul.


    10.  What is irresistible?


    Expensive chocolate, fast cars, my child's tummy/neck/bottom, a stack of new books, a hot bath on a cold day.
