PASTA SALAD ANYONE?

I'm looking for a good pasta salad recipe. I want the kind you can get a the deli in grocery stores, but I can't find one anywhere. Can anyone help me?
I am still needing people to contribute (stories, poetry, essays, art, etc.) to my comp zine. I've decided to make the theme of this issue "friendship". Let me know if you're interested.

WEEKLY WRAP-UP

1. Do you like to have your picture taken? Why or why not?
I hate it. Absolutely hate it. I have been told that I take very good pictures, but we are our own toughest critic.

2. What is your earliest memory of having your picture taken?
Sitting on the stage with my kingergarten teacher at my graduation.

3. What is the best picture you've ever had taken (or took of yourself)? Why did you pick this photo?
A picture my ex roommate took of me when I was in college. For once I was not self-conscious and my relaxed, happy state really came out well in the pictures.

4. Ladies, under what circumstances would you pose for a "glamour shot"? Gentlemen, would you want your girlfriend/wife to pose for a "glamour shot"? Both: why?
I would do it for the kicks. I think it would be fun. If I didn't hate getting my picture taken so much, why not?

5. Would you ever pose for nude photos? Why or why not?
No. Too much chance of them coming back to haunt me.

FRIDAY FIVE

1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
I want to travel overseas. Unfortunatley I've never gone off the North American continent.

2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
I try to. It all depends on how close I am to the person. I don't gush all over them if it sucks, I will try to say something along the lines of, "I think it would look better with red shoes."

3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
No. I guess I'm pretty lucky with this one.

4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
It would have been pretty darn cool to have attended Hogwarts.

5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
I wish I could play the piano.

DID I GET ANY MAIL?

Ever since I was a kid, I have loved getting mail. At one point I had at least a dozen pen pals just to make sure I got mail almost daily. I subscribe to magazines, sign up for every free catalog I come across just to get mail. I wanted to feel important when I was younger, now I'm just addicted. It could be worse, I could be into drugs or alcohol, but no. I'm a wierdo. I get high off of mail. I have 2 small children and I can't commit to a dozen pen pals, but I would like a trading buddy. I have zines that I don't want to throw away. Recipes to share. Craft projects to share. Interested in feeding my addiction? Email me for my snail mail address and we can trade.

IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS? ANYONE? ANYONE?

I have a bunch of old Scrabble pieces. I don't want to throw them away. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do with them?

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO

I'm looking for people to contribute to a new zine. Please email me for details. ebonyblue@mail.com
