anomilygrace because I liked some of the sillier questions.
1. What curse word do you use the most?
Damn, probably, if that coulds. Fuck if it doesn't.
2. Do you own an iPod?
Yes, and it's mostly full at this point. As soon as I get my music collection sorted, I'll wipe it and reupload the songs so they're more orderly. I don't really need seven different entries for bands with slightly unpredictably labelled tags (ACDC, AC/DC, AC DC, I'm looking in your direction!)
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
feiran, but we live together, so that's no surpirse.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
9:00am. It's nice living ten minutes from work that you don't start until 10. Yes, I'd hate me, too, if I weren't me.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
That I remember, yes, but not his name. My mother swears I kissed a kid in preschool, but I don't remember.
6. Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?
Sleeping in until my snooze went off to silence on the radio. After that, I was flitting between watching TV, looking out the south-facing window at just the one tower left standing, and running out to the hospital to see if they needed anything (the saddest part was that they didn't; the happiest was that they were swamped with volunteers).
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Neither, honestly. I am a crap photographer and I don't enjoy pictures of myself overly.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
In the theater, The Prestige. Oh, no, wait, maybe it was The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D. On video, I think it was some black and white movie with Catherine Deneuve that wasn't actually in French. Can't remember the title.
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Oh, goodness no. Thank you Jeebus. They can get there a little later, that's fine by me.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
I wouldn't be surprised if they did. The roomie calls me lazy when I ask for the remote instead of getting up to get it, so it's a fair cop.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
I tried to use benedryl once for that, after learning how badly it knocked me out when I took it for allergies. Never again. I won't even use that crap for allergies.
12. What cd is currently in your cd player?
Um, don't have one, currently, or at least not one that's occupied. Last CD I listened to was in my mother's car, and it was one of the mix CDs I made for her. Lots of songs from the 50-60s per her request with the occasional update.
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
Regular--my nanny growing up had a son who delivered milk and he always brought crates of little boxes for us to drink. The worst thing in the world is flavored milk, strawberry being particularly heinous, but chocolate is no friend to me either. It did make me a regular milk drinker growing up, though, so there's that.
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
No.
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
College. They had tazo berry tea ice-y drinks that are like nicely flavored, less stick-sweet slurpees with a 300% mark up price. Delicious, worth the occasional $4-5, but haven't seen them recently. I did just get a gift certificate to Starbucks, though, so maybe I'll go see if I can find something there I like (if I can figure out how to order anything).
16. Can you whistle?
Yes, but not well, not normally at any rate. I desperately wish I could modulate the note of my whistle (it's just one shrill noise).
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
I am bad making eye contact with people, so the other details of the face.
18. What are you looking forward to?
Getting off work today. And I just started less than an hour ago. After that, the weekend. After that, Thanksgiving. After that? I'd say Christmas, but really I'm looking forward to becoming an aunt.
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Alllllll the time. Still do, always will.
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I get about seven most nights, more on the weekend, and I function okay.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
No, I need to though.
33. Are your days fast-paced?
Busy sometimes, but never really fast-paced.
34. What did you do last night?
Watched Rome and Carnivale. Liked both, even though the latter was immeasureably sad.
35. Do you use sarcasm?
Is that a question or my statement of being?
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
Quarter of a century. I'm officially old.
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
Not to the degree my friends are, but yes, I like the grammar and the spelling.
38. Have you ever been to six flags?
Yep, in New York and New Jersey and California.
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
Unless I get comments to the contrary, I'd say they're about the same.
40. Do you like mustard?
Good heavens, no.
41. Do you sleep on your side?
I sleep back to side to stomach. Stomach is my preference.
42. Do you watch the news?
No.
43. How did you get one of your scars?
Splinter from the floors of my friend's house. That's actually a very large scar for something I don't remember being that bad of an injury (not compared to the less visible scars I have from getting stitches in odd places).
44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
Do fictional characters count? Because I almost threw a pillow at my TV during last week's Battlestar Galactica. Stupid Helo. Otherwise, probably Dubya.
45. Do you like anybody?
Trick question. I like lots of bodies, but I wouldn't say I like just any one.
46. What is the last thing you purchased?
Food for me, presents forviridian's birthday.
47. What side of the heart do you draw first?
Left.
48. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
Yep.
49. What color is your razor?
Blue.
50. What is your blood-type?
A+ Heeeeeyyyyy, I just realized that would mean I'd be up on a roof this past Christmas, were Doctor Who a reality TV series. Crazy!
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Ooh, I need one of those loop-rope things that you use to coral a classroom of kids. That might just satisfy my needs and lusts for about thirty different men. On the loop rope, in no particular order: Alexander Hamilton (time-travelled to where he's still alive), Keanu Reeves, Ben Browder, Jamie Bamber, Clive Owen, David Tennant, John Barrowman (hey, men for him, too!), Ioan Gruffudd, the guy who plays Anders on BSG, Christian Bale, Edward Norton, Matt Damon...
52. What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
That I like horses. That way. A TOTAL LIE SPREAD BYviridian and bigscary while I was downunder and unable to beat and tickle them for it.
53. How do you feel about carrots?
I like baby carrots. Yum.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Two or three, depending on how many are pulled away to watch TV with friends on a given day.
55. Which is the best Spice Girl?
I was madly in love with Ginger Spice's hair, so her.
56. Do you know what time it is?
11:36 am EST
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?
Thank God, no.
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Read my issue of Newsweek and listen to my iPod and try not to giggle when Dane Cook came up on a shuffle.
59. What’s your favorite kind of gum?
Big Red or Wintegreen.
60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
All's fair in love short of murder and abuse, but war is never fair, so why bother? F.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
How about all the men on Firefly? <-- Maggie again FTW<--DUDE, thirded. In real life, no. (I'd like to add my increasingly magnetic attraction to both of the new Doctors, though)
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
I used 'synechdoche' because it sounded like the word I mean the other day. Turns out it was, so, yes?
63. Do you like to sleep?
Better than food sometimes.
64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time?
Hawai'i.
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Heard it, don't love it.
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
Not in this city, thanks.
67. What’s something you’ve always wanted?
Funny how similar this is to the lady I stole the meme from, but I always wanted horseback riding lessons. My dad didn't let me growing up because a girl got dragged to death who was the same age as I was at the time.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
Presently, yes.
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Ocean! FISHIES!!!
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
It's represented but not dominating my wardrobe (that honor goes to green).
71. Describe your hair:
Long, blah-blah brown, and thinning from being too long. I'm gonna chop it off for locks of love again.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
Ento-what?
73. Are you an adult?
No, but by my next birthday, I should be, I guess. Quarter of a century!
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
At work :)
75. Do you have a tan?
Right. Like I've ever had a tan. I'm paler than Caesar's ghost.
76. Are you a television addict?
Didn't used to be, but the last few DVD purchases I made for myself were heavy on the TV and I watch a lot more this season (damn you Heroes! damn you other shows!).
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
Always. I love her because she is often cooler than me.
78. Are you a sugar freak?
Not so much.
79. Do you like orange juice?
Only in popsicle form.
80. What sign are you?
Aries! ::sings:: The look on your face will be priceless when you find that forty pound watermelon in your colon. Trade toothbrushes with an albino dwarf, then give a hickey to Meryl Streep...
I think I had something else to talk about...what was it? Uh, watched Rome last night, and I liked it again. Yippie. I'm starting to notice more of the seams as it moved onto incorporating Egyptian history and fashion and the like, which I know more about, but Cleopatra was believably scary where she needed to be, so I forgave the pixie-druggie waif she showed up as initially. Carnivale was really sad. Uh, kitties are very cute? Tamales are very yummy? I don't know.
