reading day
Have spent most of today reading Tim Winton's Dirt Music. Am determined to finish it before nightfall because it's really damn good. I never knew Western Australia could be so interesting.
In the meantime, however, I offer something I pilfered from
viv_darkbloom.
You and Jesus go out to dinner - who pays?
Does Jesus have pockets for his wallet? I think he pays -- render unto Caesar the liquor tax that is Caesar's and all that.
Pick one state in the U.S. to get rid of permanently?
Nebraska. That would mean I'd never have to go and be a prof in Omaha.
You wake up as a Viking! what's the one thing you wanna try?
Drinking out of my horned hat.
What's an automatic deal breaker in a potential significant other?
Wedding ring.
What is the last movie you saw that actually scared you?
Don't Look Now -- holy christ on biscuits with toast.
You're sentenced to death and its the morning of your execution, what do you want to eat?
a) Executions usually take place at midnight, which may be technically morning, but I would want my last meal to be dinner: sirloin steak (medium rare), jacket potatoes swimming in butter and sour cream, chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, Caesar salad with ranch dressing, carrots, a full-bodied bottle of shiraz from the 1960s, and Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert.

Become an HRH
A wild animal you'd like to have as a pet?
Wolf
A drug you'll never try?
Heroin
If you were an animal what would you be?
She-Wolf
What's something most people don't know about you?
Dean Martin singing makes me go all happy squirrelly
Worst way to die?
Impalement while missing the vital organs
Grossest injury you've ever seen?
Knee-cap sliding down a guy's shin bone during a basketball game in high school. Ew.
The worst injury you've ever had?
Multiple sprains and I've got carpal tunnel, but my concussion was the worst.
What city in the U.S. do you want to visit?
Boston, NYC, Washington, Boston again -- the old favs
What's something you think would be sweet to know everything about?
How to make myself Queen of the Fucking Universe
What's one phrase you absolutely detest?
Valley Girl: "Whaat-evER!"
What makes an awesome party?
Good wine, fantastic cheese, scintillating conversation, perfect music
What's your material obsession?
I'm a book nut, but I also had it pointed out to me recently that I own 15 pairs of shoes here in London... and the number rises month by month
Favorite kind of dog?
Malamutes, Cairn Terriers and I adore my brother's German Shepherd b/c she's the sweetest thing EVER!

The 21st Century equivalent of the drunk&dial: sloshed emailing. *blushing*
It's Saturday at 3am where are you?
In your dreams! Oooo!
What's something your friends make fun of you for?
"OOT". I mis-spelled OTT and then pronounced it like a Canadian. The Aussies still take the piss for that one at the bar.
What's the meanest thing you've ever done?
I seriously can't think of anything TRULY mean. I mean, I haven't given anyone an incurable phobia or put their pet in the bunny boiler.
Have you ever dated someone you met online?
No.
Have you ever dated/fooled around with a coworker?
Yes.
Do you have any friends that you've known for 10 years or more
Absolutely!
Would you tell your parents if you were a Viking?
They're really not football fans, so if I was cheering for Minnesota (or wherever the hell the Vikings are based), they could care less.
Do you walk around the house naked?
I walk around my dorm room naked -- but I put clothes on if I go outside. Everyone remember my little bitty blue silk robe? It came with me to London.
Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
Henry Higgins is my own personal saviour and redeemer.
Are you a jealous person?
Sometimes with the jealousy -- I think it's more accurate to say I'm a competitive person.
Does it get annoying when somebody says they'll call you, but doesn't?
Depends on who it is and how serious they were about their intentions.
What would you rather be doing right now?
Having sex.
Do you get along better with the same or opposite sex?
Doesn't really make a difference. I can gossip with my girlfriends, but talk hockey and accessorizing with the boys. Go figure.
Do others make you cry easily?
If I have PMS, it's a no-holds barred situation. The rest of the time, I think I'm pretty tough.
Who was the last person to irritate you?
Buffy.
How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
To function: 5. To be happy: 7 1/2 to 8. To be angelic: 9.

Thor's pretty hot, for a blonde.
What personality trait is a must-have in the opposite sex?
SENSE OF HUMOUR

Some tats are fine -- completley covered, not as keen.
Have you ever dated one of your best friends?
No.
When was the last time someone hit on you?
Last night.
Are you apathetic or ignorant?
I don't really care and why are you asking me that anyway? What, are you trying to find out how I feel about stuff? Whaaat-evER!
