textualdevianceThis one's going around on FB
Welcome to the 2009 edition of getting to know your Friends. Copy then change all the answers so they apply to you, and then send this to your friends including the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little things about your friends that you might not have known!
Blah blah, w'ev.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
9:30ish.
2. Diamonds or pearls? Pearls.
Neither? I'm not much into shinies. There are a few tiny diamonds on my wedding ring and I have a few pairs of earrings with small emeralds and sapphires and whatnot. I think my engagement ring (the teensy, cheap little thing) has a blue topaz in it. But most of what little jewelry I wear is plain silver with maybe some beads and crystals here and there. There are a few gemstones and suchlike things I do admire, however: Mother-of-pearl, black opals, dichroic glass and ammolite. (See a pattern? :) )
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Quantum of Solace. I'm WAY behind.
4. What is your favorite TV show?
Out of everything, BSG is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast?
It varies. If I don't feel like going downstairs, I raid my office snack drawer for protein bars or dried fruit. Usually I prefer eggs in some form or other.
6. What is your middle name?
Lea. Pronounced Lee, rather than Lee-ah.
7. What food do you dislike?
I don't eat mammals, for one. Also, I detest beets and avocados. I'm also one of those weird people who absolutely cannot eat soft bananas or tomatoes. They must be firm and slightly underripe. I keep trying (and failing) to like fish.
8. What is your favorite CD at moment?
Most of the music I've been listening to of late has been on Rock Band. Sooo...
9. What kind of car do you drive?
A 2002 green Toyota Rav4. I lovelovelove it. I won't change until it either falls apart or they come out with a hybrid version of it.
10. Favorite sandwich?
Anything with a lot of cheese.
11. What characteristic do you despise?
A lack of empathy and compassion for those weaker or less fortunate than oneself.
12. Favorite item of clothing?
A blue men's henley that fits me better than anything else I own. I'd wear it every day if I could.
13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
Oh, if I could only stand long flights... I really hope someday to hit Oz and NZ.
14. Favorite brand of clothing?
Because I'm so hard to fit, I can't really be picky. Most of my stuff is probably made in sweatshops by 12-year-olds. I'd buy custom stuff made here, except that most of that is very girly. It's impossible to get just plain ol' jeans in my size that were made here.
15. Where would you retire to?
I'm right where I want to be, generally speaking. Though I wouldn't mind having a vacation condo on Maui.
16. What was your most recent memorable birthday?
I don't remember any of my recent ones, to be honest. I suppose that's kind of sad.
17. Favorite sport to watch?
Football. And yes, I yell at the TV.
18. Furthest place you are sending this?
I suspect there are people in Oz and Europe who will read this.
19. Person you expect to respond back first?
Eh. There are meme whores on my flist. :)
20. When is your birthday?
Same time every year. ;)
21. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Late nights, baybee. The day doesn't get started until after 10.
22. What is your shoe size?
7 1/2 WW or a men's 6. Since that's next to impossible to find, I usually have to go to an 8 or 8 1/2 W.
23. Pets?
Just the three kitties, though I've had massive menageries before.
24. Anything new and exciting you'd like to share with us?
Um. I got through a couple more RB songs on medium?
25. What did you want to be when you were little?
Just about everything, though I did tend toward some sort of performing.
26. What are you doing today?
What I've done every day for the last two weeks: LOTRO and RB. I also need to go out briefly to run an errand. Then there will be BSG. Oh, yes.
27. What is your favorite candy?
I only eat cheap chocolate if I'm desperate. Otherwise it has to be the good stuff. I do like fruity candies, though. I'm fond of Jujyfruits, for instance.
28. What is your favorite flower?
Queen of the Night tulips. I'm also fond of blue hydrangeas.
29.What is a day on the calendar you are looking forward to?
Whatever day the stimulus bill finally gets passed. Gah.
30.What is your full name?
Didn't we just go over this?
31.What are you listening to right now?
Ticking clock and spinning hard drive.
32.Last thing you ate?
Morning meds.
33.Do you wish on stars?
Occasionally
34.If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Periwinkle
35.How is the weather right now?
Drizzly
36.The first person you spoke to on the phone today?
Haven't had any calls yet.
37.Favorite soft drink?
I stay away from most sodas because I avoid artificial sweeteners if I can. My favorite beverage is Talking Rain Twist Key Lime. OMG so good. Please go out and buy this brand so it stays around!
38. Favorite restaurant?
Sadly, our favorite Italian place closed several years ago (Simpatico, in Wallingford.) There are a few regular haunts around home we hit, but we haven't really found a place we love, yet.
39. Real hair color?
Dishwater
40.What was your favorite toy as a child?
Depends on what age. I loved my stuffed animals when I was little.
41. Summer or winter?
Spring.
42. Hugs or kisses?
Hugs.
43. Chocolate or Vanilla?
See above. Chocolate if it's the good stuff, otherwise I'll do French vanilla. With real beans, plz.
44. Coffee or tea?
Neither. I avoid caffeine.
45. Do you want your friends to respond to you back with you answers?
I'm always fascinated by minutae of others.
46. When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday.
47. What is under your bed?
Monsters. Oh, wait. That's just Otter.
48. What did you do last night?
Watched a couple of eps of Robin Hood over dinner.
49. What are you afraid of?
Being immobile or otherwise having movement restricted. Drowning or being suffocated.
53. Favorite day of the week?
Friday. Sundays are depressing.
54. How many towns have you lived in?
Counting actual towns, instead of metro areas...
Reno, Stead, Lemmon Valley, Beaverton, Portland, Medford, Redmond, Seattle, Mill Creek, Bellingham.
55. Do you make friends easily?
Within the right kind of crowd, sure. But outside of queers/alternageeks, I'm miserably bad. I'm an absolute wallflower at parties filled with muggles. The best I can usually do is go hang with the guys and start talking sports or something.
