I swiped this from trishpip, because it looks like fun to do! It is a BIG meme, so I think I shall thoughtfully put it behind an lj-cut thingy.
1.ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? Which one? I got a whole bunch. Let's see...the monster scar on my right mid-thigh is from when Dr. Hackenslash put in my femoral artery bypass/graft, and then took it out again during my infection right before lopping off my lower leg.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Paint, a heart-shaped picture that says, "Love grows happy hearts" and has a little duck on it, a ducky with little knobs to hang things on, and a mirror, with a little plaque right above it that says "Jesus Loves Me."
3. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN? I don't remember the exact time of day, but I think it was in the morning.
4. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW? Mint chocolate chip ice cream, and I'm going to get some when I go shopping! (Sugar-free, of course)
5. WHAT DO YOU MISS? Being able to wear a shoe on my right foot.
6. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION? My photos of friends and family, because it means I can see them whenever I want to!
7. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5' 2 1/2" without the chair, about 3' 6" in the chair.
8. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DAY? I am fearless at all times, except for when a spider comes to terrorize me.

10. WHAT KIND OF HAIR COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX? No preference, as long as it's clean and nicely combed.

12. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK? Coffee. Cream, two sweeteners.
13. FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING? Double cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and green peppers.
14. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Ramen soup, and I have some!
15. FAVORITE COLOR OF ALL TIME? Purple
16. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH? Nope. That would be cruel to put the little fishy in my digestive system, and he'd be like all "Where the hell am I? What's all this gooey stuff?"
17. WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU EVER RECEIVED? My mother made my First Communion dress when I was about eight years old. It took her hours and hours, and she put a lot of love into it.
18. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH? I'm 48 years old. I don't do crushes anymore. I do "Does he have a brother?" searches.

20. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU WANT? An energy-efficient duckymobile with lots of cool gadgets and gizmos.

22. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE USA? I went to Canada a couple of times, but I don't know if those times I astrally projected to Scotland count.
23. YOUR WEAKNESSES? Kids.
24. MET ANYONE FAMOUS? Shall I list? Alice Ghostly, Adrian Zmed, David Lee Roth, Charlton Heston, Theresa Saldana, James Coco (RIP), Jonathan Frakes (waaayyy before Star Trek TNG), Bob Pastorelli (RIP), Robert Reiner (a delightfully gracious man!) Laurie Walters (I taught her how to smoke cigarettes), all the guys in Stryper, Gilbert Leib, Frankie Avalon (who thinks he's a music critic), Michael Considine, plus a few folks whom I've forgotten over the years. I lived in West Hollywood in 1985, and there were celebs running around everywhere, you could pick them off the trees.
25. FIRST JOB? Babysitting and paper route when I was 12 years old.
26. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL? Of course, when I was about nine or ten.
27. DO YOU THINK EVERYONE OUT THERE HAS A SOUL MATE? I think that it's God's call. I believe that, if there is one out there, He will let you know, but sometimes, it's not part of His plan to hook you up.

37. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Only until I get a cramp and it turns into chicken scratches on paper.
38. ANY BAD HABITS? I shall not admit to any, as I am making supreme efforts to eradicate them from my life.
39. ARE YOU A JEALOUS PERSON? Nah.
40. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes, but it would be a little weird, because I would always know what I was about to do and say.
41. DO YOU AGREE WITH FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS? No. Firmly and staunchly, no. Ask me why if you want a sermon on God's opinion on the matter.
42. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER? Play music, pray, try to divert it into something useful, like laundry.
43. WHAT’S YOUR MAIN GOAL IN LIFE? To share my humor with everyone, and to share my faith enough that even one person might learn the love of the Lord.
44. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD? The Slinky. In fact, I still have one.
45. HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE IN YOUR CELL PHONE? No cell phone. But, if I had one, there would be about 20.

52. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO? CBS Evening News
53. LAST THING YOU DRANK? Iced tea, sweetened, with lemon
54. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT? Secret ballot.
55. DO YOU HAVE A LOW SELF ESTEEM OR A HIGH SELF ESTEEM? I have all kinds of esteem, unless, of course, I run out of esteem.
56. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? I'm right between books. Recently finished "Fatal Vision," getting ready to read "The Jesus Incident," and have "Imponderables" in the bathroom.
Okay, enough about me. Now, let's see how many of you will do this meme.
