Today was a “gym time as therapy” day. When work and life are hectic and you have a million thoughts colliding in your head at once a good workout will force you to be in the now. Physical exertion helps me focus my scatterbrain and gives me an outlet for pent up energy.

Oh Walter!

Yep, me doing the Friday Five on Tuesdays is quickly becoming a running gag here on the ol’ blog.

1. Have you ever dressed up as a Disney character?
Not that I can remember, but who knows what the future holds.

2. What was your favorite Disney movie growing up?
Since at one time my family owned a video store and I had unlimited access to just about every Disney title ever this is a tough question. There are a few, like the Jungle Book, that I remember watching again and again.

3. Which Disney character can you relate to the most?
Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and not just because we’re both brunettes. I think she’s the least “princessy” of the princesses without being too butch at the same time.

4. Have you ever been to a Disney theme park?
Yes. Mom and dad took my brother and I to Disney World when I was eleven. Mom was six months pregnant at the time – something I was oblivious to then but amazes me now. I dragged her all over the place all day long for a week, I don’t know how she did it. Also, I had to pretend I was still ten because it got me in cheaper.

5. When does someone become “too old” for Disney?
Never really, so long as they continue to make timeless movies with wide appeal. I prefer not to think of the question as being specific to Disney though – we are never to old for animated films in general.

I can’t believe a Friday went by and I forgot about the Friday Five! Late but not forgotten, this one is all about technology:

1. Do people contact you on your cell or house phone more? At the moment my house phone, but that’s because I just bought a cell phone YESTERDAY. Yes, welcome to the 21st century Amy!

2. Do you call or e-mail your friends/family more? I definitely use email more.

3. Does your cat/dog/bird/baby/stuffed animal have a livejournal/e-mail/myspace account? No, that’s retarded.

4. What do you think will replace the internet? I don’t think the internet will be replaced as much as it will continue to evolve. Perhaps at some point we’ll have implanted devices that connect us to the global network. Ping my wuffie anyone?

5. How do you feel about VHS’s not being made anymore? No more rewinding. No more eaten tapes. No accidentally recording over something I really liked. Yeah, I’m not about to shed a tear for VHS.
