~You can count to 10 in how many different languages? Hmmm... English, French, German, Latin, Spanish, Greek.
~The last thing your parents said about you was what? Ha! Over dinner last weekend my mother told me that I looked radiant, just before observing that the light in the restaurant was particularly flattering.
~What song was playing while you were driving or biking last? I was singing Lou Reid's Romeo and Juliet to myself yesterday
~Name a pet name a lover has given you. Kagarigen. I really liked the nickname but I didn't like the boy, so I dumped him - that's why my my LJ name is kagarigen.
~When did you get into your first fender bender? Never (touch wood).
~You're in a candy shop - which thing do you go to first? The imports shelf! Every candy store that I've ever been in has a dusty shelf at the back of candy that's been imported from Germany or China or anywhere.
~What 3 things turn you on most about a man or woman? Intelligence. I don't mean education, but just whether their smart and clued into the world and so on. A really great smile. Hmmmm... facial hair. I loves me some shaggy beards.
~What will you dress up as in Halloween? Haven't decided yet!
~What item do you get nagged at to get rid of but will NOT? My stuffed walrus puppet (Wally). My family has a thing with these walrus puppets - my brother got one first and immediately gave it a personality, and gradually everyone in my family (including my grandmother) got a stuffed walrus. I've had him for twenty years and he's falling apart - I recently hugged him and realized that the fluff had completely come off his tusks! I still sleep with him when I'm by my lonesome. Every person who's ever seen the inside of my bedroom teases me for having this ratty stuffed toy, but I'll never, ever get rid of him. Never.
~What habit do others have that drives you completely nuts? This is particularly about students (both my colleagues and the undergraduates): whining about how much work you have to do. I mean, we all have a lot of work to do. Whining about it won't get it done - you're just looking for sympathy. I don't want to hear it.
~You watched your first adult film? 16, I think. Dirty!
~Name something genuine or sweet that you did recently. I'm looking after a friend's pet rats for Fall Break. They freak me out, but she loves them so I know that I'm doing a good deed.
~Do you have a secret? Not really, I always end up telling someone.
~You are most envied for? I think I've fooled people into thinking I'm smart, which was a neat trick on my part.
~It's 3am, you can't sleep, what do you watch? I always look for a good 80s movie.
~Your most amazing kiss was.. Summer of 2000. I was backpacking in Europe with two friends, and when we got to Luxembourg we met up with some people that one of them knew. When we went out clubbing the first night there I spent the entire evening in the corner making out with one of them, a really nice guy named Niall. It doesn't sound romantic, but it was the best kiss ever... we parted ways two days later and I told him to write to me, but he never did. I still think about that kiss, and fantasize about running into him again one day...
~Have you ever had a paranormal experience? When? What? I get spooked out a lot. I can't really think of any particular experience though.
~What happened the last time you exclaimed,"Oh shit!" Rats. I was taking them out of their cage so I could clean it, and they started running all over me. One of them found his way into the hood of my sweatshirt, and then starting poking his face down my back. I squealed and did a wriggly dance to get it out, and I ended up taking off my shirt and throwing it on the floor. The rat then ran out from my shirt and behind the bookshelf. Still topless, I had to coax it out with some rat treats. I don't know how many times I said "oh shit" during this whole ordeal, but it was a lot.
~If you could learn any language instantly, which would it be? Why? Italian, probably. I love Italy, and it would be so wonderful to be able to speak Italian fluently.
~Who to you is the ultimate sex symbol? It changes a lot... right now? Probably Gerard Butler in 300. Wait - let me do an image search. Yep, sex symbol.
