Avoiding work like the plague and wishing I was wherever this icon actually is...
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Gas bill. During the winter I put it off, since they can't shut you off, and then am hit by a larger bill in April or May. I know it's going to happen, but I don't deal with it. I am stupid.
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Romantic? Well, we tried at Flight a weekend or so ago, but the place was too "trendy", so to speak, so it was kind of hard for it to be "romantic". We need a romantic dinner, Lowell.
3. Last time you puked from drinking?
This past Friday and Saturday. Couple that with already prevalant stomach problems and you can say that I had a rough weekend. Sigh.
4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced at a bar?
I've danced at bars before, but never when drunk.
5. Name of your first grade teacher?
Mrs. Nitsche. She still teaches there, actually, but in second grade.
6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Soaking in a bath with a bath bomb. I am splurging on at least two of them when next I get paid.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
An astronaut, and then a teacher. It varied with each passing year of school.
8. How many colleges did you attend?
One, DePaul University.
9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
I had thought it was going to be cooler (which it is), so I wore sleeves. But I was the only one in warm colours at the staff meeting, and felt very out of place.
10. GAS PRICES?
I am only getting gas on the far south side from now on. It only takes 30 USD to fill my tank that way. Here's hoping half a tank will last me a week, though I don't really have that kind of luck. Damn.
11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you?
I would take my cats and move to London. Or Lemont, if I didn't want to move too far away. I'd want to take Lowell, too, but I doubt he'd come with me.
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
"...I set my phone alarm? Really? Wow."
13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
"It is not cold enough in this apartment."
14. Favorite style of underwear?
I'm growing to like thongs more and more.
15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
Boxers for easier access. ...what?
16. What errand/chore do you despise?
Dishes. I wish I could just have someone come to my apartment once a day to do dishes. I'd do every other chore in the house eight times a day rather than do dishes.
17. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
To be honest, probably not. I would take part in community arts, like choirs and theater. But volunteer...I don't think so. Does this make me a horrible person? Probably.
18. Get up early or sleep in?
Get up early. This means I can go to bed early, too. I like that.
19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
Right now, either Dr. Thaddeus Venture from Venture Bros. or Clam from Camp Lazlo. Both make me laugh like no other.
20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Drinking and talking about inappropriate things at dinner is always fun. ^^
21. Have you found real love yet?
I've found my own definition of real love in several places. As for some standard of "real love", well...tell me what it is and I'll answer.
22. When did you first start feeling old?
When I was about 17.
23. Favorite 80's movie?
When did Baron Munchausen come out? If it came out in the 80s, then that's it. Otherwise, not a big 80s movie fan.
24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Roast beef.
25. What do you get every time you go into Walmart?
If I went to Walmart with any alarming regularity, it would probably be toilet paper. It's the best priced there. Ditto on laundry detergent.
26. Beach or lake?
Our lakes have beaches, so both. Shooting for June 20 if it's nice.
27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Obviously not, since I'm obsessed with getting married. But I can see how people would think so.
28. How many people do you stalk on Facebook?
I poke Jamie, Brian Kale, and Pete Albano with an alarming regularity. Does that count?
29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
If WoW and other games are guilty pleasures, since I was so against obsessive gaming a few years ago, then that would be it. Otherwise, it'd be coffee.
30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
...Big Trouble in Little China. Must see that movie again.
31. What's your drink?
Depends. At Starbucks, it's a venti nonfat caramel macchiato. At home, it's regular coffee or ginger ale. At the bar, it's Bacardi and Coke.
32. Cowboys or Indians?
Cowboys are football and Indians are baseball. Since football > baseball, Cowboys.
33. Cops or Robbers?
Robbers. They translate to thieves, which translates to Kheldar. Yum.
34. Who from high school would you like to run into?
Quite a few people, actually. Still four more years until reunion.
35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
101.9 FM, The Mix.
36. Norm or Cliff?
Oh, Cliff.
37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?
The Simpsons.
39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
Well, Ricardo's essentially directly across from me, so yes, I like that person. Ricardo's one of the best bosses ever.
40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?
Dunno if I'd get the balls to kill someone, really.
41. What famous person(s) would you like to have dinner with?
There's a few...Alan Rickman, Frank Herbert, Eric Idle, Dane Judi Dench...
42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?
Definitely Alan Rickman.
43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
No.
44. Last book you read for real? And finished?
I believe it was The Secret Diary of Marie Antoinette, by Carolly Erickson.
45. Do you have a teddy bear?
I have two. I have more stuffed cows, though, as they are cuter.
46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Um...at someone else's house? I don't know. I don't go too many strange places.
47. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
San Francisco.
48. Do you go to church?
Not anymore. I need to stop being lazy and go again. I'd like to see if it's as much of a comfort as it used to be, if nothing else. I used to be able to feel God there. Wonder if that's still the case...
49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
New career. I'm more than satisfied in my relationship, and while I enjoy my job, it wouldn't be bad to try something new.
50. Just how OLD are you?
24
Now, to check some mails, clean off the desk, work a little on payroll, and then lunches! Yay!
