OK, maybe i can't live without it, but I don't think I would have any friends if I didn't use Paul Mitchell mousse hair product. 

I'd probably look like her...

What was the best football highlight of the past week?

What could be better than the 49ers beating the Rams and being 2-0 for the first time since 1998?  I don't know what I'm celebrating more, the fact that they won or the fact that they aren't the worst team in the NFL right now. 

What's your favorite vacation destination?

Cabo san lucas

My favorite vacation = beautiful beach + good company + outdoor activities + great meals + excellent cocktails...CABO SAN LUCAS.  I went to Cabo for spring break my junior year of college.  I went with my roommate at the time along with a group of girls from Boulder University, one of which had a time share at the Pueblo Bonito Rose. 

I couldn't have asked for a better trip.  The hotel was right on the beach and within walking distance from downtown.  The weather was perfect.  The group from Boulder was a blast.  There was a fruit vendor on the beach that sold the best mangos I've ever had for $1.  The only thing lacking was a swim-up pool bar at the hotel, but good thing the neighbooring hotel had one.

All in all, 4 days and 4 nights of the best vacation.

What's your middle name?  Is there a story or history behind it?

Way to discriminate against the people sans middle names.  I'm disappointed and no, I do not have a middle name.  Guess my parents thought my name was too long as it is.   The most annoying thing about not having a middle name with a last name "Del Carlo" is that often times people mistake "Del" as my middle name and call me Julie Carlo.  That has always irked me to no end. 

What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?

My favorite subject in HS was ceramics.  I think it was my favorite class for many reasons but the main reason being that I loved my teacher.  Her name was Z (short for Lindsey) and she called me Curly.  I still have a ton of things I made in that class - none of which I'm all that proud of now but at the time I thought I was a ceramics genius.  I've often wanted to take up a ceramics class again, but never find the time.

My favorite subject in college was American Histrory, again mainly due to the professor.  I'm actually not a fan of normal history classes where you have to memorize dates, names of battles and other info you remember just long enough to pass the midterm.  This class was not your ordinary history class.  The professor focused on the evolution of American culture from the early 1900s to the present.  We watched movies that ranged from the first movie ever to be filmed (no sound at all) to Easy Rider.  Our assignments ranged from writing about a mall and how it explained American culture to presenting about a significant concert or film.  This class was the perfect combination of interesting material and relevant lessons.  If I could take it all over again I would. 

When you were younger, were there any game shows that you religiously watched and wanted to be a contestant on?

I always loved Family Feud (the old school version with Richard Dawson) and used to watch it almost everyday after school.  I used to obsess over which 4 family members I would invite to be on the show with me.  It tended to change from month to month depending on who I saw more frequently or who gave me a better present. 

I was pretty good a guessing the answers even though I was young and had no idea about the world beyond my elementary school.  My favorite part of the whole game was the end when the winning family would choose 2 people to participate in the "Fast Money" round.  Both people would have to answer the same set of questions one after the other in 30 seconds or so.  If the second person duplicated an answer, they would have to come up with another answer.  I used to get so nervous for the people participating and would always have a good laugh when someone would come up with some off-the-wall answer that didn't even make sense. 

And of course, who didn't love Price is Right??  I've watched that show since I can remember and especially enjoyed it when I would stay home sick from school.  I always thought I'd be a better contestant than some of the characters that were on that show.  At least I'd be able to spin the wheel without falling over.
