Because I’m just not into doing the whole work thing right now…
Fifty Things Meme
1. Do you like blue cheese?
Yeah, I like it. Prefer it in pairings, but I’ve had a few good bits on their own.
2. Have you ever gone streaking?
Yes, once, a long, long time ago…
3. Do you own a gun?
No
4. Your favorite song?
I don’t think I have one, much for the same reasons I’ve seen listed below… there are too many great songs for different moods, I have a handful that I will love always, but that list changes from day to day. Or is it that the list is big and I don’t think of the entire thing at once. It’s hard to say. I should put on my iPod.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
Mostly no, though I have been before.
6. What do you think of hot dogs?
I eat them about once or twice a year. I’m a big fan of beans and franks.
7. Favorite Christmas song?
Baby, It's Cold Outside. It's very suggestive! (Copied from EthelBerga, who apparently shares my sentiments… my favorite version is with Ray Charles & Betty Carter)
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Water, coffee, occasionally grapefruit juice
9. Can you do push ups?
Maybe, like, 3. Maybe 5. Yeah, we can go with 5. It’s a good number for a wimp like me.
10. What do you do when you're feeling low?
Really depends. Let’s go with “brood.”
11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry?
If you’d consider it jewelry, my new Movado watch. Other than that, probably my opal necklace.
12. Favorite hobby?
Eh… it’s a toss up between painting and the Wii at the moment.
13 You have $1000 to blow, but you have to do it today. What's your purchase?
Credit Card. If that’s not a valid choice, I’d buy more suits. I like the whole professional thing, but I’m feeling rather stifled by my limited and basic wardrobe. I’d also buy some killer heels.
14. Do you have A.D.D.?
No, yes, no… Actually, I do get distracted easily, but I’ve never considered it to be a problem that was out of control.
15. What one trait do you hate about yourself?
Once in a while I just step in it and wish I’d kept my mouth shut just a minute longer so the right answer would have come. Or the most tactful approach. Or just about anything else. Conversely, it’s often been my inability to bring things up in a timely fashion that gets me to that frazzled point. I’ve been feeling much better since my new (as of 2.5 years ago) policy of being up front.
16. Middle Name?
Michelle
17. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment.
1 - huh?
2 - mild headache
3 - I’m clearly ignoring something important, I just don’t know what it is.
18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday.
Ooooh. Dinner. Because I was silly and left the stuff from the Japanese market at work.
19. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink.
1 - Water
2 - Coffee
3 - Iced Tea
20. Current worry right now?
My credit. It haz issues.
In all honesty, credit’s been on the brain for me right now. I need to fix three items that shouldn’t even be on there. I can own up to my bad behavior and willingly will suffer the consequences of that. But the line gets crossed when its not my fault - at least not beyond my ignorance from not having looked at my credit for a few years.
21. Current hate right now?
Don’t think I really have one. Maybe that it seems like there’s too much stuff at the apartment these days.
22. Favorite place to be?
Oooh, bed. But really, probably my grandparents’ old home in Costa Mesa. It had a kick ass bar, huge pool, outdoor built-in grill, Jacuzzi, couple of tables with umbrellas, thick grass, lots of homegrown veggies, roses, gardenias.
23. How did you bring in the New Year?
At the hippest space party around!
24. Where would you like to go?
Home.
Otherwise, I’d love to go to France or Spain right now for some hardcore relaxing.
25. Name three people who will complete this?
Everyone who would probably already did.
26. Do you own slippers?
Yeah.
27. What shirt are you wearing?
Dark blue sweater
28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets?
I like jersey sheets better.
29. Can you whistle?
Yes.
30. Favorite color?
Black. White.
31. Would you be a pirate?
Hmm, maybe. I like being clean and having access to fresh food.
32. What songs do you sing in the shower?
I tend to make up my own shit. And then sometimes Beethoven. I tend to hum more than sing.
33. Favourite girl's name?
Actually, don’t really have one at the moment. I like several, though.
34. Favourite boy's name?
See 33.
35. What's in your pocket right now?
I think I have a hair tie
36. Last thing that made you laugh?
Post by iSm on the LoT.
37. Best bed sheets as a child?
Ooh, I think Rainbow Brite.
38. Worst injury you've ever had?
Outside of a bruised ego, I’d probably say falling off a horse on a beach in Mexico, which was part-bruised ego and all kinds of hurt and physical therapy on my back and neck for years to come.
39. Do you love where you live?
I don’t know if I love it, yet, but there’s much to enjoy, and I’m with the person I couldn’t imagine living without.
40. How many TVs do you have in your house?
Two that work; one that doesn't. (Am I, like, the same person as EB?)
41. Who is your loudest friend?
Loudest? Yikes… Maybe who is the quietest? Probably Tom.
42. How many dogs do you have?
Zip, zero, zilch.
43. Does someone have a crush on you?
I don’t know, and am not even interested in knowing.
44. (Since this one’s missing I’ll replace it with a Barbara Walter’s favorite) What do most people misunderstand about you?
I’ve learned, over time, that people think I’m stuck up; even when I go out of my way to be nice and friendly and help out… to the point that it’s almost brown-nosing… it doesn’t seem to help. As of this past month, I think I’m finally getting “over it.” Some people get me, some people don’t, and I’m cool with it.
45. What is your favorite book?
Ooh… That’s a difficult question for me. Under pressure, I’ll say Siddhartha since it’s probably the book I’ve read most. Though I love just getting lost in a good book.
46. Favorite Candy Bar?
Mounds
47. Favorite Sports Team?
OOohhh… University of Florida Gators Football team. Followed by… I actually don’t care enough, but I like the sad, though improving, Utah Blaze. Becoming a Jazz fan - surprising considering I never really caught onto the Lakers or the Clippers while I was in So Cal.
Go Jazz Go!
48. What song do you want played at your funeral?
Whatever people want to listen to. Actually, I just heard Sixx A.M.’s “Life is Beautiful” and I kind of got into it. Other than that, I want it to be light and fun and really, I don’t want a funeral. I want a wake.
49. What were you doing 12 AM last night?
Sleepinz.
50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up?
“Fuck”
