Via Shank by way of Jenelle and so on.
1) How old do you wish you were? Actually if I could be as old as I am indefinately, I'd be perfectly happy.
2) Where were you when 9-11 happened? I was sitting in front of a computer in the English department at UNC typing up graduate student information (fun job...NOT.). The department secretary had a teeny tiny t.v. on her desk. When she said that someone had flown a plane into the tower, I thought she was pulling my leg.
3) What do you do when vending machines steal your money? Allow the word "FUCK" to echo loudly in my head and then walk away. On particuarly stupid days, I put even MORE money in and try again.
4) Do you consider yourself kind? Certain people would probably disagree, but deep down inside once you defeat the fiery dragon guarding my ego, I'm a softy.
5) If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be? On the bottom of my foot. I'm sick of the tattoo I've got - I don't want any more visible ones.
6) If you could be fluent in any other language what would it be? Basque. From the native speakers I've encountered, they always seem to be either slurring or mumbling. Perfect for my lazy tongue.
7) Do you know your neighbors? Yep. Except the ones I suspect are tapping into my wireless internet connection.
8) What do you consider a vacation? Sitting in the same spot for six hours and not feeling like I forgot to do something.
9) Do you follow your horoscope? No. If anything, I won't even read it until the day's over. I do put a little more belief than I should in star sign personality traits, though.
10) Would you move for the person you loved? You didn't ask how far.
11) Are you touchy feely? Only with my son. I don't do PDA, either.
12) Do you believe that opposites attract? Nope. In my experience, that's fodder for dysfunction.
13) Dream job? Staying at home with The Kid.
14) Favorite channel(s)? Um. Spike, I guess.
15) Favorite place to go on weekends? A.C. Moore if I have money.
16) Showers or Baths? Baths, but the tub has to be deep/wide enough to make me float when I lean back.
17) Do you paint your nails? Only when I need a boost to my self-esteem.
18) Do you trust people easily? Heck no. You think Homo sapien survived this long by trusting Neanderthals in the beginning?
19) What are your phobias? I have a huge fear of having my house broken into while I'm in it.
20) Do you want kids? I think the operative question here is "Do you want more kids?" to which I'd answer "yes."
21) Do you keep a handwritten journal? Not anymore.
22) Where would you rather be right now? At the bank depositing a million dollar check.
23) What makes you feel warm and safe? Mashed potatoes and a mailbox that doesn't have any bills in it.
24) Heavy or light sleeper? Sort of in-between. The cats don't wake me up when they're beating each other against the bedroom door, but I can usually hear the alarm clock...after two minutes or so.
25) Are you paranoid? No, too objective for that.
26) Are you impatient? Only when it comes to airports and Scott in the shower.
27) Who can you relate to? Most sensible, open-minded human beings.
28) How do you feel about interracial couples? Ex-squeeze me?
29) Have you been burned by love? The only way a person my age can go through life without being burned is to have NEVER been in love before. If you're not hurt when it's over then you weren't in love.
30) What's your life motto? To always lock my car doors before driving downtown.
31) What's your main ringtone on your mobile? Some techno thing that comes on when the caller i.d. pulls a real number.
32) What were you doing at midnight last night? Feeding The Kid.
33) Who was your last text message from? Friend of mine wondering if I've disappeared from the Earth.
34) Whose bed did you sleep in last night? Mine/ours, whatever.
35) What color shirt are you wearing? White - great for bleaching baby stains, my friends.
36) What are you listening to right now? The sound of Roland thrashing around on my bed through the baby monitor.
37) Name three things you have on you at all times? You mean three things I carry when I'm not slumming in the house, right? An extra hair elastic, my grocery store discount cards, and my driver's license.
38) What color are your bed sheets? I change them frequently. Trying to trap me, huh?
39) How much cash do you have on you right now? I'm sure that if I emptied my various piggy banks and coin catch-alls I'd have about $3.
40) What is your favorite part of the chicken? The cluck.
41) What's your fav city/place? Tyner, NC. Like I always say, it's not home if you don't want to go back.
42) I can't wait till . . . Roland sleeps through the night.
43) Who got you to set up a blog? Angela Nissel and her Broke Diaries. It seemed cathartic.
44) What did you have for dinner last night? Macaroni and cheese.
46) Have you ever smoked? Yes.
47) Do you own a gun? No.
48) Tea or Coffee? I'm a coffee person at heart, but while I'm breastfeeding I opt for hot tea.
49) What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex? A pregnant belly, a well-placed scowl, and obvious wedding ring. I don't know why it works, it just does.
50) Do you have A.D.D.? No, although as I progress through adulthood, I recognize that I'm guilty of tuning people out when they won't shut the hell up.
51) What time did you wake up today? I won't dignify that with a response. Ask The Kid.
52) Current worry? Employment, or lack thereof.
53) Current want? See 52.
54) Favorite place to be? Bed.
55) Where would you like to travel in the future? Contrary to what I stated in the previous post, I'd like to attend at least one Trek convention.
56) Where do you think you'll be in 10 yrs? Geographically? Probably a mile or so from here. Professionally? I don't really care.
57) Last thing you ate? Leftover mac & cheese.
58) What songs do you sing in the shower? I don't sing in the shower. Scott may be hearing impaired, but all the same I won't subject him to that.
59) Last person that made you laugh? Scoop. (not exactly a rated PG podcast...just so you know.)
60) Worst injury you've ever had? I'm not particuarly accident prone, but the only injury that comes to mind is from being dropped from an extension during high school cheerleading practice. I fell head-first (because even though I told them to let go of my fucking feet, they wouldn't) and used my hand to break my fall. My wrist didn't break, but it was screwed up for several years after that.
61) Does someone have a crush on you? No one that knows I'm married, I hope.
62) What is your favorite candy? Depends on my mood. You can generally pacify me with a cow tail, though.
63) What song do you want played at your funeral? I don't want a funeral...just take me straight to my final resting place without all the to-do. My family can install a nice Jacuzzi tub with all the money they save.
