Birthdays and stuff
1. First off, a very happy birthday to the wonderful
ozma_katiebell!!
We had a great time RPing some very fun characters, back in the days of stoatshead_hill. I hope your hubby and kids are good to you today.
2. My office is like a tomb today. Did everyone die, or fall sleep? *scratches head*
3. Less than 2 days until we leave for New Orleans. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *flails* Too bad it will be such a whirlwind trip.
4. Odd news from a few weeks ago: The dancing cockatoo named Snowball that has become a YouTube sensation has alerted researchers to the knack for dancing that some birds have. Some parrots, it seems, have a near-perfect sense of rhythm.
5. Memeage, stolen from the lovely celtic_fish.
1. What curse word do you use the most?
Proably Sh*t.
2. Do you own an iPod?
Yup. Birthday present last year. Just a Nano, though. I haven't named it but it's silver so I could call it... SILVER :)
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
Talk to? You mean on the phone? LOL I don't use telephones, or cellphones, unless I have to. Now, IMing? I'm on that like white on rice. So most often that would probably be writersblock76, my erstwhile partner in RPG crime.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
5:30 a.m. Monday - Friday. 7:00 or 7:30 a.m. on Sundays. Not usually set on Saturday.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Nope. I have no idea who it was. I suspect the kiss was either so boring or so traumatic I've blocked it out.
6. Do you remember where you were on 9/11?
Yes, I was at my desk (which was on the same floor as now but about 50 feet to the north, at a different column). I remember my friend Alicat, who then lived in Austin, TX, called me on my work phone (which she had done maybe once before) and told me to try to check the Internet.
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Stolen from celtic_fish: I prefer to take the pics. Not a fan of how I photograph.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
JABBERWOCKY Saturday night at home. STAR TREK a few weeks ago in the cinema, though that was probably the first movie we'd gone out for in 6 months.
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Most do. I'm old. Half of my RL friends probably have grandkids too. My online friends? Not so much.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
All the time, since I was little. And yeah, I know I am.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
Now and then, if I'm really stressed out.

Smashing Pumpkins, MACHINA: the machines of God. I got it free at a "swap" at work and I like it pretty well.

I like skim milk. But now and then I MUST have chocolate milk.
