Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought?
Submitted by Paddy Melt Wagon.
The first one was Lisette Melendez's "Together Forever." I was 11 and I didn't know what good music was back then.

What's the infamous story people tell about you?
Submitted by Cherney.
I know that I'm not answering this question right, but oh well.
For some reasons, other than it's really funny, I like to share the story on how my house was broken into when I was a teenager. The robbers ransacked the house, going through drawers and piggy banks and grabbed a pillow case to stash their loot.
The reason why it was funny is that the robbers really went through my room the most. Every letter I had and all my stuff was scattered on the floor. They went to my music collection, and when they were selecting what they wanted, they didn't take anything. They took the time to look at what I had and didn't take a single CD. I took it as a sign that I have bad musical taste. But that's OK because I got to keep all of it.

Submitted by CassandraMorgan.
Last year, I had applied to four graduate schools and was upset by then because I had gotten into only one of three. The one was a three-year program when I wanted to get into the two-year program. What made it worse was that the money I had saved for grad school was tied up, and I couldn't go to any school at all. The situation is slightly better now.
]]>How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?
Submitted by Lorie.
Mispronouncing my name is the theme of my life. When my mother was pregnant, she thought that Tamara would be a good name -- simple, easy to spell, sticks around through life. She wanted it to be like Tamara, as in like tomorrow. Once I was born, a nurse mispronounced it as Tamara as like Ta-mare-a. My mother liked that one better, and changed it once I was taken home. Months passed and a relative pronounced it as Tamara as in camera. My parents like that way the best. So, the third and final pronunciation stayed.
My middle name is another story. It's Dulva, but most people pronounce it like vulva. However, the "a" at the end is a long a, in my case. But we could never figure out if it was supposed to be that way.

Do you read the Sunday paper? Which one(s)?
I design Sunday front pages for a newspaper. Does that count? Plus, I oftentimes layout the Lifestyles front, too.
What is your favorite kind of bagel and what do you put on it?
Submitted by Nacwolin.
To be very unexciting and dull, I like a plain or honey wheat bagel with peanut butter. If I feel adventurous, I get a chocolate chip bagel, still topped with peanut butter. If the shop doesn't have peanut butter as an option, it's not the place for me. This was my breakfast of choice for over 10 years. Now, I don't get up early enough for breakfast.
