TMI Tuesday - Are You Listening?

1. Who has been the biggest influence in your life?

That's not as easy as it sounds… 
     My mom taught me the things that helped shape my comportment as a person (even tho' I often fall short)
     My dad is the critical voice of reason in my head
     SP has been the biggest support.
Do I really have to choose between 3 people I love?

2. What kinds of things really make you laugh?

Wit and absurdity.
No banana peels.  :-)

3. What’s your favorite place in the entire world?

There's this biiiig rock, right at the edge of the water, and it has a little indentation where a person's backside can rest comfortably, as they watch the waves and sky. 
And maybe listen to the seagulls. 

4. Who is your best friend? What do you like about him/her?

Again, you're trying to make me pick one!
I have several close friends, all of whom appeal to different sides of me.
    Tiny Woman is the sensible, mischievous sister.
    Cathy is the garrulous charmer.
    Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy is my traveling bud.
    Kraken is a cosmic twin. (So what's not to love? ;-p)
    Book Man is my Big Ideas chum.
    And I could probably put SP in here too, but that would give him a swell head...

5. What’s your biggest goal in life right now?

Financial solvency.
It's also my biggest dream...

6. What was your family like growing up?

More fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Seriously, my youth was just one big tangle of laughter and love.

Bonus: What is one thing about you that would surprise us?

That I'm really pretty much like I seem to be here. :-)

How great it is that you have such a fun upbringing and that you admire your parents. I miss out on that. I will be wishing for you that your financial solvency happens fast

B-
I know I'm in the minority with that, but it still makes me feel sad that there are people who don't have those kind of memories...
(and Bless you, I'll take all the financial wishes I can get!)
