My parents or husband dying; me dying a painful death (fire, drowning, asphyxiation)
Which historical figure do you most identify with?
None that I can think of.
Which living person do you most admire?

The 7 Stevie & Mac shows I've attended since 2003. Especially Vegas.

Which living person do you most despise?
Dubya, hands down.

I honestly can't think of one. Well, I wish my grandparents would have lived longer (they all died by the time I was 10) but it's not really a regret if I had no control over it, I guess.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?

Which talent would you most like to have?
Anything artistic - I can't sing, write, draw, paint, nothing. I'd probably pick singing.
