Diamonds

Yeah, it’s late, so I’m going to do part of this junk survey to keep up.

DIAMONDS (money and success)

2: When’s the first time you ever remember getting money?  I don’t know, I remember when my parents started giving me an “allowance” of $10 a week, though they never actually gave me cash, they just kept a record of how much they’d let me spend.

3: What did you do with it? I bought Wrestlemania: Steel Cage Challenge for the NES when I saved up my money a bit. I rather enjoyed it at the time.

4: What’s the first thing you bought because everyone else was buying it?  Probably some rap cd which I absolutely loathed, but convinced myself I liked since everyone else was listening to it.

5: What was your favorite gift from childhood?  I think my basketball goal – I was rather a b-ball fanatic as a child. Though time has not been kind to my jump shot.

6: What is the most money anyone ever gave you, as a child?  I remember my grandmother gave me $100 for having a 100 average in one of my classes – she promised to after she saw my mother crying over one of my bad grades.

7: What’s your favorite toy from childhood?  Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES. I must have played 30 seasons on that game . . .

8: What car do you drive now?  Um . . . a Buick Regal, I think?

9: Where do you live now?  In the slowly decaying Cedaridge apartment complex

10: What’s the greatest thing you’ve ever bought?  An Open Diary Lifetime Subscription!

J: What car do you most want? I have no desire to have a particular car. Cars don’t impress me.

Q: Where do you most want to live?  I don’t know, honestly, I concern myself more with the company I’ll be keeping than the actual locations I’ll be as far as the future goes. People mean more to me than places.

K: What luxury (you’ll probably never be able to afford) would you most like?  I don’t really know. I can basically afford most of the things I want (books and movies, heh). I like Erin’s “my own castle” answer, though.

A: What do you consider the pinnacle of success?  Learning to accept who you are and using your abilities to help other people, instead of lingering on your faults and making excuses for why you can’t succeed. For me, anyway.

Back with more tomorrow.
