When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy? : I don't I've ever used the snooze button in my life, waste of time, I'd rather just get longer to sleep and then jump out of bed

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?: Probably on one of my earlier birthdays.. like 18, (joking), and it was most probably the Flintstones or Tom and Jerry

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note.: Dear aunt, how did you know I wanted one of these?! I'm so glad I made that wish-list on amazon.com. (It actually doesn't sound like such a bad present)

Have you ever drank your soda from a straw?: Probably, I hear it's better for your teeth

What is your dream vacation?: Going to Metula. Hike around the mountains in the area. Camp by the Kinneret and go swimming. Visit a few graves (I know this is on the itinerary of most people's dream holiday), before going to the coast to like Herzilia. And then right in the middle of the desert somewhere, hike, reflect, and then finish up in Yerushalyim.

Do you like hot sauce?: What is hot sauce.. like gravy? I don't really like gravy if that's what you're asking...I like BBQ sauce though

Whats your favorite planet and why?: Saturn! Oooh, it's such a cute planet. I love how the rings go round it and such.
