I was tagged by Victoria H. a couple of days ago. (here's her link: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977114299)
I finished my answer's yesterday but didn't have time to post them. So here they are now. :)
What is your greatest regret?
Losing my virginity before I was married.
Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/ or true love?
Yes - A soul mate is someone for whom you have a deep affinity with. A soul mate can also be a friend or a family member. I consider my sister my soul mate, or soul sister. However you want to put it. We are not blood related, but we have a deep bond that will last forever. My husband is my soul mate, for we have a relationship like no other I have ever encountered with anyone else, besides my sister.
What do you believe makes a successful life?
I'm still alive, aren't I? If I can make it to the next day, I have succeeded.
Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Satan. Because he's the devil. And there is a lot of satan in people. Like the ones that kill little cute adorable doggies or other animals or people just for "sport or fun." That's what I despise.
What makes you laugh?
Funny sarcasm and funny ha-ha jokes, like from the Simpsons, Scrubs, Seinfield, Arrested Developement, etc.
Are you a better leader or follower?
As of late, I've felt more like a follower than a leader. I have a new job, a new calling in my church. I'm learning, doing new things. I feel more a part of the background rather than front and center. But I also know that I tend to be hard on myself, I may feel that I am a follower, where as other's may look at me as a leader.
Do you tend to argue with people , or avoid conflict?
I'm not a confrontational person, so I tend to avoid conflict. However, if you step on me, I will defend myself, my family, my friends.
What is your greatest fear?
Losing loved ones to stupid idiots like drunk drivers, or other crazy maniacs who take pride in ruining other people's lives.
What are your pet peeves?
Ignorance.
What's the most adventurous thing you've done or would do?
when I was 18 my cousin and I drove to Arizona - I was still in San Diego CA then. I was gone for 3 days. I thought I was a know it all and that I didn't have to answer to anybody. I was living with my grandmother at the time. She called the police and filed a missing person's report. It's not something I'm proud of. She died 5 months later. I miss her very much.
I tagged everyone in my mailbox...I just don't have time to go thru all the different articles to see who has been tagged and who hasn't....sorry!!!! But I hope those that haven't been tagged will honor the call to answer. hee hee :)

Hi Birdee, thanks. :)
What is your new calling? I loved reading your answers. Thanks for letting me have a glimpse into your life. I have already been tagged twice but I will post the link to this article in my next Tagged article. I am not going to do it tonight though. I will try to do it on friday or saturday.
I MISS TEXAS!!!
Hi Michelle :) -- I'm actually originally from San Diego CA, how on earth did you ever get used to the heat?! OMgosh I cannot live w/out A/C. Sure miss those Santa Ana winds from Cali! :)
I have to admit I have a hard time doing my VT. I ... it's completely out of my comfort zone, I am working on it. But it's hard for me.
What is your calling now?
This comment and rating of your older gather content was an idea Steve the Legend had on how to give a Christmas gift to our Gather connections. He recently posted an article with the suggestion to go back to some of our connections and read their earlier content from before I was connected to you. You are the 12th connection I have done this with so far, Hollie. I hope you have a great holiday season.
