Something OTHER THAN PAINTING!!
Wall painted. Trim painted. Curtain rod bought and hung. Curtains hung upon rod. Bunny very confused. Dogs upset. Hands blistered. NORAH PISSED OFF. Mragh, I hate complicated projects!!
1. Your full name? Norah Anne Kyle.
2. Grandparents’ first names? Edvardas and Ona (Edward and Anna in America); Harold and Joyce on the other side.
3. What songs do you sing in the shower? Showtunes, mostly.
4. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? I had a recurring terrible dream about a wolf eating my grandfather behind the garage. I was always very careful to keep my body parts on the bed, for fear that the house would become mysteriously infested with vermin and I would be bitten if I didn’t.
5. When and why did you last vomit? In October and because I was drunker than I ever have been in my life.
6. What’s in your pockets right now? Lint.
7. What color are your bedroom walls? Lilac.
8. Last thing that made you laugh? My bunny going slightly spastic earlier at me swearing at the curtain rod I was installing.
9. Nicknames your parents call you? My mother periodically refers to me as “Nor.”
10. Best bed sheets you had as a child? Rainbow Brite relics.
11. Favorite childhood pet? Hmm. The dog was mostly my mother’s, as was the cat. Probably Max, my albino hamster.
12. Any pets now? Andrew and Cecily the Scottish terrors, Sophia the cat, Penfold the hamster, and Beatrix the bunny. Jasper the other dog lives downstairs with my grandmother.
13. Others describe your ass as? I don’t know that anyone has really ever commented on it...
14. Do you like your teeth? NO! My back molars are FUCKED because of the orthodontics I had done as a kid. One of them has a gaping hole in it, the other got filled and has been in pain ever since - note that was January fucking 10TH! I can’t eat anything sweet, hot, cold, or salty without being in pain, nor can I eat popcorn without fearing that I’ve cracked said gaping-hole molar. Grar.
15. Innie or an outie? Innie.
16. Things you shout to stupid drivers? I called the woman who was obstructing THREE parking places on Highland with her minivan last night a variety of unpleasantries in three languages. Ask Matt.
17. Favorite bathroom? Ugh. Mine will be, someday. But not now.
18. Bake or broil? What’s cooking?
19. Black olives or green olives? Eww, olives.
20. What kind of phone do you own? Landline - we have two cordless (one dark blue, one white), an oak old-fashioned on he wall, and a white large-number for my grandmother. And a variety of antique rotaries up in the attic. I have a small silver Motorola cell phone.
21. What’s one of the strangest thing you ever chewed on? A pen with a gel end. Yes, it exploded.
22. Is your music kept in a particular order? On iTunes, it’s alphabetical by artist. In my CD rack, which I just reorganized last week, it’s mostly by genre (showtunes, classic rock, modern shit, Fleetwood Mac - yes, they ARE a genre)...
23. Where do you get your film developed? CVS or Target.
24. If your skin could be any color of the rainbow, what would you choose? Something less yellow/olive than I am now!!

31. How do you like your chocolate? The darker the better, and over espresso beans please.
32. Favorite kind of tape? DUCT TAPE! Duct tape is any old VW owner’s best friend. Electrical tape’s a close second.
33. Favorite thing to write or draw with? Pen.
34. Last movie you rented? I don’t think I’ve rented a movie since junior year of college, and that was probably not something I’d care to mention here. [Innocent look]
35. Last movie you went to see? Coach Carter, maybe? Josh was still in NH and we met halfway.

43. Favorite house? Not this one. [Growls at the curtain rods]
44. Favorite mode of transportation? My Volkswagen!!
45. Favorite place to swim? Josh’s folks’ pool is really nice. The one at Bally isn’t bad. And then there is Shadow Lake in Vermont...
46. Last porno you saw? ...
