Here is My GSTQ Life Questionnaire & I want to hear from you too!
Betsy Fun Fact: My handwriting is TERRIBLE. I have the handwriting of a 6th grade boy. But..I always liked it bc its hard to read & Rock n Roll ;) So to Help you guys decode it, I retyped it here:
My name is............Elizabeth Marie Hoffman (Betsy)
-My birth name is Elizabeth but, my nickname is Betsy. I have been called Betsy since the time I was born. The only people that call me Elizabeth is bill collectors & my Gram who passed away.

ChildhoodAmbition……………Dentist.
-My Grandpa who was dead before I was born always told my Gram that he wished he became a Dentist bc they made a good living & she told me that. I believed her! So when I was 4, I took that to heart. & Thought that meant they were good people & lived good lives. Whenever anyone asked: "Betsy what do you want to be when you grow up?" I would shout "A DENTIST!" they always laughed... That year I got a Play dough Dentist kit for Christmas :)& rocked it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FondestMemory……………Camping with my Family.
Oh man!!!!!!!!!! The most fun ever was camping with my family of 6-me & 3siblings, my mom & my dad. Along with my mom & dad’s best friends-Debbie, Stevie, & their kids-Amy & Nicky (Later Andrew was born J) We would hang out around the camp fire at night. Swim all day long!!! Fishing & skipping rocks! Go on scouts in the woods. Make up FART songs! Our finest was Bruce Springsteen: "You can’t start a fire without a FART”
Soundtrack…………………TraceyChapman.
SACRILEGIOUS!!!!!!I misspelled Tracy’s name!!!! K sorry T.C. Fast Car was MY soundtrack for high school. It was everything I was feeling. Inside, I was a black lesbian woman going through her strife & Tracy sang my blues! She’s Got Her Ticket was written & sung for ME! Listen to the album from beginning to end. It’spretty powerful stuff.

It’spretty powerful stuff.
WildestDream………………Action Super Hero.
K...honestly, I wasn’t sure if they wanted to know my Dreams Sleeping Wildest Dreams or my Wildest Dreams Dream?!??! So, I answered for both. Bc lately in my dreams I have been fighting wars. & in real life I want to be a superhero-but not the lame kind that just does good deeds unnoticed. I want to wear a unitard & be Famous for my good deeds! Also, I would like to be on film Playing an action super hero. So pretty much I will take it in any form!
ProudestMoment……………My 1st Apartment……(lame) truth: The moment I step off stage.
This was the LAST question I answered. & All I kept saying to myself was, “Well I haven’t really achieved anything. So I don’t HAVE ANYTHING to be proud of." Isn't that SAD L I kept pushing myself & came up with nothing. So I quickly wrote getting my first apartment bc being able to
maintain independence was a biggie for me. My 1stapartment was something I am very proud of. But the truth is what I initially thought &quickly dismissed is that my most proudest moment is when I step off of a stage. I feel PROUD. I put myself out there! I DID it! Good show or bad show. Small Venue or ampitheater. I F*CKING DID IT!!!!! In that moment I am the most proud that I have the ability to DO what I Love every time. Without a script. Without ever knowing Exactly what is going to happen. But continuing to show up for myself& my team. Now, I take pride in saying that The Moment I step off stage is my most proudest moment.

BiggestChallenge……Getting out of my own way.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If I could just Trust that everything is going to work out. & not push or worry. Leave the self doubt. Leave the self sabotage. Leave the SELF. I could BE a super hero human ;) My biggest challenge is Getting the F*CK out of MY Own Way.
AlarmClock……………My Dog Harry J.
Harry is my baby Scottie. He is only 25lbs but he bullies me!!! When he wants to wake up to be fed he stretches out his little body & pushes into me to wake me up.& I wake up to his snout in my face!
PerfectDay………Performing Comedy & Walking on a Beach.
Not sure this makes sense in one day’s time but if I lived in LA I’m sure this is more possible! Anyways! When I perform Comedy-sketch, improv, host etc. It frees my mind in a way that other activities just cant. It's like a mind doodle. It’s a vacation from the ever day & a ticket into the unknown where any invention you have works & is FUN!!!!!!!!!! Walking on a beach calms my soul. When I stand next to forces of nature larger than myself I feel a release of control. I feel hope. & I feel a true connection to God.
FirstJob…………Papergirl-Daily News.
I was 11. I was not very good at it. When I wanted to deliver the papers I was the best darn paper girl ever! But when I got bored or distracted I was the worst paper girl. Instead of delivering my route I would play in the woods with my friends! Then I would have to deliver them once my parents came home from work at night, which was the worst! Bc you can't see as well. One day, I heard a rumor that you could ditch your papers & say they were never delivered but still get paid. I tried my luck. Karma prevailed bc somehow my route master found out!!! & my parents had to pay for everyone in the neighborhoods paper that week. My Mom got so pissed at me & I wasn’t allowed to deliver papers anymore!
Indulgence………BitingMy Nails.
SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I HEAR YOUR JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!! I’m gonna get snails in my stomach. Or bacteria. “The nails catchall of the dirt your hands come in contact with & then you EAT it?!??!”
I’MNOT LISTENING. … I tried to stop biting my nails. But it relaxes me. I know that’sgross. But that’s why it’s My Indulgence J
LastPurchase………White Wine.
I was tempted to lie here. Bc I wish I could say metrocard or even maxi pads. I sound like such a BORE!!!!!! K..here is why..I was meeting my girlfriend at her new apartment & there was a wine store on the way there but no dessert shops..so I bought the White WIIIIIINE!!
FavoriteMovie……Braveheart
For reals! Oh wait!!!!!!!!! Man...Fight Club is a close second. I Like movies where the lead is against all odds & then they Kick ASS!!!! Um..now that I think of it I probably should have written The Legend of Billy Jean bc it has all of my favorites-favorite haircut & favorite song...Huh…I am going to add that to my questionnaire at the bottom. You will have to wait to see the answers below ;) & TLOBL is an UH-MAZING Movie. Which leads me to Female Lead Action Movies:Tomb Raider, Underworld, Colombiana, G.I.JANE-Any movie where the female lead kicks ASS! K..I like movies that kick a lot…Obvy I love Comedies!!!!! Oh Duh!!! I shoulda written There is Something About Mary bc that movie is My FAV!!! & Gorey, scary zombie movies are awesome too! K this is a hard one to answer. But, I will stick with Braveheart which is funny bc the main character on NBC'S BFF Loved Braveheart too!!! & I Got her Obsession! Ps: that's when Mel was cute & not cray! Off the record: I like cheesy chick flicks: SweetHome Alabama, Practical Magic, Anything with Reese Witherspoon-did I just say that??!?! Okay...I willingly rescind my "too cool for school card”.
Inspiration……TheBeauty in the World.
DidI really write that?!?!??! Shut the front Door Betsy! Cheeezee. But..tis true. I am inspired by all of the beauty in the world, natural & man made J Now, please leave me alone so I can be with my thoughts & watch clouds pass as I write a haiku.
MyLife………Is Perfectly Complex & Simple all at Once.
For so long it was important that I was "different" and an "individual". Then I grew up and realized the profound elegance in the simple everyday. I effortlessly dance between both thought induced complicated conceptual worlds & the simplicity of the mundane. I like hypothesizing on the meaning of life daily & yet I like Yoo-hoo. Both can co-exist.
My Service To Others…To Make Them Laugh & listen truly Listen.
To make others laugh. I think comedy is a spiritual mental hug all at once and if you can diffuse someone with laughter that is a powerful fete. I believe that laughing brings people together. & the ability to make others laugh is a gift of the gods J Listen to others & hearing what they are saying not only through words but subtext, physicality & actions is a powerful gift. It's saying to another person: You matter. To truly listen to others is a powerful gift of service bc you are taking the time to understand another’sexperience.
My Universal Wish………Be Forgiving of Yourself & Those Around You.
Be FORGIVING. ugh. But what else is there in this world but to give of ourselves?!?!? Let it go. Forgive yourself of the shoulda, woulda couldas!!!!& try to be easy on those around you too. Let Go so you can Move on & Enjoy!!!This life aint always a piece of cake but we gotta stop to take a bite outta it every now & then!
*My Favorite Song……….Love is a Battlefield.
Pat Benatar you are one bad Ass.
*My Favorite Haircut..........Asymmetrical: super short on one side & a bob on the other.
It was the COOLEST haircut eva!!! I was 14 & daring. It framed my face perfectly & I wish I wasn't such a sissy to do it now bc the style is coming back. I am seeing so many girls with shaved sides! But..this summer my thing is braids so I can't cut off my hair yarns!
