Average Jane’s Fast Five

Knowing that I’m always running late on Wednesdays, I’m going to cheat and pick up a meme I found at Mom, Ma’am, Me:

1. Gum, mints, or Tic-Tacs?  And what flavor? Kinda none of the above, but I’ll occasionally go for original flavor Trident gum.
2. What kind of shoes are you wearing? Black, laceless Converse All-Stars
3. Suri Cruise: real or imaginary? Even though I was born in the Show-Me State, I’m going to have to go with "real," despite the fact that I’m pretty sure we won’t be seeing her anytime soon.
4. What kind of entertainment do you listen to in the car — radio, CD, talk show, or none of the above? On the way to work, I listen to the morning show of a rock station.  The rest of the time, I flip around to find other rock songs, listen to a CD of songs for which I need to write lyrics, and occasionally listen to other bands’ CDs.
5. Did you ever want to change your name as a kid?  If so, what was your favorite "new" name? My name is fairly unusual and, like all kids, I complained about it sometimes.  However, I don’t think I was ever serious about coming up with a new one.  Then again, as an adult I’ve written under many different pseudonyms and had a stage name, so clearly the impulse stayed lurking in my subconscious all along.
