1. Do you know from what country your surname (family name -- whether maiden or married) is derived??
Poland

2. What is your most guiltiest pleasure?
My crush on Scott Patterson.

3. Do you consider yourself a pragmatist or an idealist?
Idealist.

4. Knowing what you know now in your life, would you change your path; and if so, to what -- and why?
Oh I wouldn't change much at all. I've taken the scenic route.

5. What is is your favorite season of the year???
I find something to love in every season, but as a native New Englander, I've got to go with fall.

6. What word do you use most in daily conversation??

Probably "okay."

I'm late to the party, I know, but I'm going to answer the week 1 questions too.

Why were you given your name? If you do not want to share your real name, why do you have the username you do? My parents had decided to name me Michelle, but switched to Lisa when I was born because "it suited me." Go figure.

My username comes from the credo, "No gods, no masters." It was famously used as the motto for Margaret Sanger's newspaper, The Woman Rebel. To paraphrase Luke, it's just a code I live by."

In ten years, what will you be doing (or want to be doing), what kind of person do you think you'll be? Isn't it obvious people? I'll be living in a secluded mountain cabin with Scott. My plan B would be to still be teaching and traveling. Maybe returning to live in South America, my favorite continent.

I hope to be very much the same as I am now: irreverent and curious.

What song best describes you when you first wake up in the morning?
"Almost Ready" by Dinosaur Jr. "Blitzkrieg Rock" by the Ramones runs a close 2nd.

What is your favorite book you read as a child? "Are You My Mother?" by P.D. Eastman. I felt so sad for the little bird after he saw the "Snort!"

What is your favorite joke of all time? Clean or PG-13? My favorite jokes are not clean, but here's one I like a lot by Emo Phillips:
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative�*Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

I also love "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handey:
"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."

"It's true that every time you hear a bell, an angel gets its wings. But what they don't tell you is that every time you hear a mouse trap snap, and Angel gets set on fire."

Sorry for being a week late. Won't happen again.
