Meme from bloodwrites, last seen with spacekid77
1. What curse word do you use the most?
Fuck. And dammit. And "What the hell?"
2. Do you own an iPod?
No. But I do have a music device from the Sansa company. I've forgotten what it's called. An mp3 player?
3. What person on your f-list do you talk to the most?
Whoever is willing to put up with me enough to talk at great length a lot of the time. I cycle from person to person, trying not to drive everyone away.

The correct time, or within 5 minutes of it. My husband's clock is set to go off at 10 till 6. Or 6 am.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Yes. He was very sweet and had ridden his bike out to leave letters to me in my mailbox for months, had taken me out on a very nice, very polite, chaperoned date, and I totally freaked out at the IDEA of dating and essentially never spoke to him again.

Whether or not they look threatening

Last time I stayed over at iingartist's or mtgat's?

43. How did you get one of your scars?
I have a scar on my right thumb from where I was signing angrily to myself (wasn't allowed to complain much as a teen and/or made things worse if I did, so I consoled myself by complaining...silently) and I cut my skin with a fingernail and it never quite healed properly because it got a bit infected and I picked at it.

A student.

Blue?
50. What is your blood-type?
O+
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?

Carrots are good, especially when cooked in the juice of a dead animal.

Yes...and I usually do, to within 10 or 20 minutes either way unless I've entirely lost track.

Wish I had munchies and stuff to do.
59. What's your favourite kind of gum?
Extra spearmint.
60. T or F: All's fair in love and war?
Totally, totally false in every way. And I think it's broadly, viciously dangerous to treat love as if "anything goes" because it leads to the "love means never having to say you're sorry" kind of dismissal
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Lots and lots and LOTS of hot chicks on TV.
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Well...I know what the words mean, but that doesn't mean I can define them easily or concisely.
63. Do you like to sleep?
YES.
64. Do you know which US states don't use Daylight Savings Time?
Pretty sure that the only one left that doesn't is either Arizona or New Mexico. Indiana didn't participate up until like 2 years ago.
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Yes. However, it really annoys me except for the one soft strain in the phrase before the words "total eclipse of the heart."
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
Really not. But if, like bloodwrites suggested, someone were offering one for free, I could certainly sell one and use the extra money.
67. What's something you've always wanted?
To be able to do everything right and get everything done that I can imagine doing and do it as well as I can imagine. I really, really don't think perfection would be boring (as its naysayers seem to believe).
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
Usually. I hate shaving.
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Eh. I'd rather not swim anymore. I hate the smooshy bottoms of real bodies of water.
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Some. Not much anymore; most of my tops are from the big set of Walmart matching-different-colored tops, so I have a lot of teal, purple, green...
71. Describe your hair:
Brown with LOTS of silver shot through it, just enough past shoulder length (2 inches or so) to (finally) put into a decently stable ponytail. It's in long layers and is fluffy when the fluffy is not making me overheat.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
Not really. But I HATE to have those little sticky bug feet walking on me. Sensory ICK!
73. Are you an adult?
Yes. Mostly.
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
In my computer.
75. Do you have a tan?
Really not. I hate the sun, I hate being hot, I hate being sweaty, my eyes are sun-sensitive...so, no.
76. Are you a television addict?
YES. Though I watch very little IN broadcast. I time-shift most of my watching because, well, hullo, and my favorite method of viewing is to watch stuff in huge marathons after they're over.
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
Yes, very much.
78. Are you a sugar freak?
