Because I did it to someone else...

I have to post it here. It's the old 'ask me five if you're willing to be asked five back' questions meme. (kudos to ivy03 for being so bold and actually answering my boring-ass questions)

So, shoot: Five Questions for the Vixen, anyone?

1. Hands down, it's gotta be the time when I was just learning how to bike ride and I got into two accidents within a week of having just tentatively learned how to ride. Both accidents were because I hadn't mastered the concept of braking. The first was a result of going down a hill--not a large one but a steepish one--where I braked too hard and went tumbling over the handle bars. The second one, probably the most embarrassing one ever, was when, still not sure of that brake, I ran into the back of a parked car (apparently, I wasn't able to swerve well either). What makes it especially embarrassing was the fact that there was a kid from school walking by at the time and I got up and said, "I like doing that." I shit you not, that's more or else verbatim. I smacked myself royally and made an ass out of myself.

2. A fireman, if memory serves. That's the one I remember from earliest on.

3. Probably Alice Borchardt's "The Silver Wolf." It's not a particularly wonderful book, but the setting was so different and unusual, I doubt anyone would have gotten it right. It's set after the fall of Rome, but slightly before the rise of Charlemagne. It can get a little racy (this is Anne Rice's sister, after all), but the werewolf story was really fun.

4. The kitties love me! Sure, I made Lilah dance while I sang "Mamma Mia" in her face, and Sam love-bites me more than he purrs, but they're really friendly now. In-your-face friendly. Lilah has the adorable-slash-weird habit of walking up your body and kneading your stomach with her front paws. She doesn't settle down, she just picks one foot up, sets it down, and repeats with the other on and on. It's not ticklish per se, it's just sooooo weird feeling I giggle horribly.

5. Yep! If I work it out right, I might take off TWO whole days, have myself a long weekend.
