Welcome to the new 2009 edition of getting to know your friends.
1. What is your occupation right now?
Currently I'm the Fetch-Tossing-Human for the cat. It's a full-time position but I try to narrow it down to an hour a day or less. The pay is little toy mice dropped at my feet over and over...sometimes after they've been dunked in the toilet and fished out by the cat. I don't play with toilet mice.
2. What color are your socks right now?
naked toes!
3. What are you listening to right now?
The creaky floorboards under my neighbor's very pregnant feet. Actually, it's her belly that's pregnant, yet she still walks with her feet.
4. What was the last thing that you ate?
I inhaled a sandwich from Deli Zone on the way to my lesson. Ordering from Deli Zone is always exciting because they are over-compensating for not being in New York.
5. Can you drive a stick shift?
Yes, but I'm pretty crappy at starting on hills. Except when I'm pointed downhill, then I'm absolutely fine.
6. Last person you spoke to
Dylan. Does a cat count as a person? Before that I was cursing out the printer with flowery language. Does a printer count as a person? Before that I was listening to a choir-type talk. Does listening count as speaking to someone? Even more importantly, does a choir-type count as a person?
7. Do you like the person who sent this to you?
Well duh, it's Squeaky!
8. How old are you today?
30. It's been much better than 29.
9. What is your favorite sport to watch on TV?
Lacrosse! Men dressing up like SpongeBob to whack each other with sticks! What's not to like?
10.What is your favorite drink?
Large iced soy caffe creme caramel (a.k.a. Diabetes in a bottle). Sadly, Java Java coffee shop is closed. *sniff, sniff*
11.Have you ever dyed your hair?
Why yes, even with Kool-aid (to get that real berry red color that washes right out).
12.Favorite food?
Cottage cheese or potatoes or sushi. I think I could live solely on these three foods.
13.What is the last movie you watched?
Kung Fu Panda. "Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose Kung Fu skills were the stuff of legend."
14.Favorite day of the year?
My BIRTHDAY!
15.How do you vent anger?
To a person: frown so as not to cry. To an inanimate thing: swear under my breath and curse all its little bits.
16.What was your favorite toy as a child?
Well, I really liked My Little Ponies, I remember liking Strawberry Shortcake dolls, and I thought the toy piano was cool. I also liked roller skates before I realized I have a problem with falling over.
17.What is your favorite season?
It rotates: whatever season is six months away. Right now summer sounds pretty nice as currently the wind is dropping the temperature to a billion degrees below zero.
18.Cherries or Blueberries?
Blueberries.
19.Do you want your friends to e-mail you back?
Alas no. Not right now. I'm a good six weeks behind already and every email adds a little more pressure to the hermit/technophobe side of my personality. I have an audition in four weeks. I will need a beer afterwards. Talk to me then...
20.Who is the most likely to respond?
Respond to what? A beer invite? Clark. A frantic last-minute "I need a lesson" call? Cassye. A hollering about where I put my glasses? Chris. An actually emergency? Paramedics.
21.Who is least likely to respond?
Again, lest likely to respond to what? A solo dance performance audition? Thad. If I very fakely said "Can you lift that for me because I'm a weak little girl?" Cyndi. Me continually whining about having cold toes while not wearing socks? Mom. An actual injury resulting from tripping on the stairs in a train and cutting your pinky on plastic polyester and really, really needing a band-aid? the train conductor guy
22.Living arrangements?
I live in Dana's garage. Also known as "the Hobbit Hole."
23.When was the last time you cried?
Last Monday. I had food poisoning and absolutely needed to drive into Denver. I was stuck in a huge traffic jam and I realized I was almost completely out of gas and that I needed to puke. My stress resistance was non-existent at that point. Everything eventually worked out, but it was a weepy little while there.
24.What is on the floor of your closet?
Cat fur (it's actually coating the entirity of my world I think). SCSI cable parts. Fuzzy slippers. Dresses that fell off the hanger and I've not noticed yet.
25.Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending to?
Well, I'm just posting this as opposed to obnoxiously sending it directly to people's inboxes. I'll say mom, since I've known her for over 30 years.
26.What did you do last night?
The short version: practiced cello, rode the bus home, watched Buffy while crocheting a blanket, slept like I'd been up for 20 hours.
27.What are you most afraid of?
Black holes. *shudder*
28.Plain, cheese, or spicy hamburgers?
I'm swinging back towards veggie again. Cheese is good.
29.Favorite dog breed?
Cat-dog. I've got one and it's great. It's a dog, but in a cat body. No barking. No poo walks. Alas, there is still the chasing-cats thing, though.
30.Favorite day of the week?
Saturday. I've been insistent about it being a complete day off for me; I don't even socialize on those days.
31.How many states / countries have you lived in?
Five states, one country. I'm boring that way.
32.Diamonds or pearls?
Neither because "If he loves you, he'll buy you platinum." This was an actual ad in a bridal magazine. I've always sarcastically enjoyed the idea that love=things because it really helps out consumerism if you think that way. I've been quoting that ad for years and often changing it to suit my purpose as in: "Kristen, if you love me, you'd buy me a hot cocoa" Ah, guilting people into buying things. Brilliant!
33.What is your favorite flower?
Peony. Living, not wilting.
