Love. Marriage. Infidelity. Crises of identity. Death. Cupcakes. The themes in Right Click, the third and final installment in the Click series, couldn't be more pressing for this group of friends as they navigate through their 30's. Another six months have passed since we last eavesdropped on the hilarious, poignant and oftentimes inappropriate email adventures of Renee and friends. As the story continues to unfold, relationships are tested and some need to be set "right" before everyone can find their "happily ever after."

Hi, Sweetie. You sounded downright chipper yesterday
talking about your own agency. I'm so
glad you have something positive to focus on aside from how lucky you are to
have me as a best friend. Oh, and your
wedding to Ethan.
So Nick and I have become obsessed
with Inside the Actor's Studio. Even
though I hate celebrities, I can't seem to tear myself away from this
series. My fav part is the James Lipton
questions at the end. So much so, that
I've put together my responses for when being as hot and fabulous as I am
merits inclusion as a guest on the show.
Want to play along?

I'm not surprised that Nick likes
the show. He's totally star struck. He is constantly asking me about any
celebrities I've worked with and when we saw that actress from The Good Wife,
he was giddy. The questionnaire sounds
fun. Send the questions over.

Okay. Here goes…
•
What is your favorite word?
Thank you. Okay, it's two words
but one phrase that I feel like no one says anymore. As you know, manners are very important to
me.
•
What is your least favorite word? It’s a tie between “moist” and “panties” with
extra "fingernails-down-the-blackboard-style chills" when the two
words are used together.
<shudder>
•
What turns you on?
Humor. That's probably why I'm
head over heels in love with Jon Stewart...oh, and Ethan too. ;)
•
What turns you off?
Petty squabbles. The world has
enough problems without arguing and fretting over inconsequential stuff.
•
What sound or noise do you love? My sweet angel, Siobhan, in fits of giggles.
And believe me, no one gets her laughing it up like Auntie Renee.
•
What sound or noise do you hate? Airplanes taking off. Fatal accidents are more likely to occur
during the climbing stage of flight and that sound of the engines revving up
just fuh-reaks me out!
•
What is your favorite curse word? Mother#@$%er! Enough said!
•
What profession other than your own would like to
attempt? Professional cake
decorator. It looks so fun and yummy.
•
What profession would you not like to do? Accountant.
As you know, my checkbook rarely balances.
•
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when
you arrive at the pearly gates? I know
Jews don't believe in heaven, but we're happy to have you here, the cupcakes
are calorie-free and your hair looks great.

Moist panties? That was my answer for favorite word. Ha-larious!
THANK YOU (I know you love hearing that) for the embellishments on the
responses. Definitely puts things into
more perspective for me. Time for my
responses. Are you sitting down?

I will give it some thought if my
own agency doesn't work out or I smother Skinny Skye out of sheer jealousy and
end up in jail with lots of time on my blood-stained hands to write. For now, I need your answers, please.

Somehow I doubt that God is using
