Getting to Know You Meme
Copy all questions, write response, and tag 25 other victims. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you - in a creepy stalker kind of way.
1. What time did you wake up this morning? Around 9am, when M's med alarm went off. Which is weird, because usually Shadow wakes me up around 5:30 so she can go outside.
2. How do you like your steak? Rather rare. I want tender, juicy, bloody meat!
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Yay! Probably the only I'll see for awhile, because we almost never go to the movies.
4. What is your favorite TV show? Little House on the Prairie. And I watch a lot of M*A*S*H. And I LOVE House, but always miss it, it seems.
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Someplace in the woods, with a lake, but not too far from civilization. My friends would live on the property, and we would build a community which worships the Old Gods. The weather would be mild and the animals wild!
7. What is your favorite cuisine? I like to eat Mexican at least twice a week. And I love Japanese food. And Chinese. Jamie likes food.
8. What foods do you dislike? Food that is too spicy or greasy or too bad for you.
9. Favorite Place to Eat? Sushi bars! But I can never afford it. How fun is it to chase down the moving sushi?
10. Favorite dressing? Ranch, I believe. But I am in constant search for the perfect honey mustard dressing, which could be my real favorite.
11.What kind of vehicle do you drive? It is a 99 Chevrolet. It gets me where I need to go, and should last almost forever, if I'm good to it!
12. What are your favorite clothes? jeans and a tank top. Or nekkid!
13. Do you believe 13 is unlucky enough to leave out of a list? I think that says more about you than me.
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? My life is more complex than a cup.
15. Where would you want to retire? Not sure yet. How about I get a job first?
16. What is the theme of your kitchen? Probably "I found this on the side of the road".
17. Where were you born? Anchorage, Ak.
18. What is your favorite sport to watch? Highland games!
19. What is your favorite sport to play? I don't like to play sports. Unless dancing is a sport. But the competition really turns me off.
20. What is your favorite musical instrument? I suppose the guitar, just because it is so versatile. And it sounds so nice.
21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this? Since I'm not tagging anybody, it will be interesting to see who decides they have the time/inclination to respond to this.
22. Bird watcher? Indeed. We have a variety of birds in the area. When I was a kid, I used to paint bird models. They sucked, but it was fun to do. Now I have chickens, so I can get my dinosaur fill!
23. Are you a morning person or a night person? Honestly more of an afternoon person. I don't wake up well, especially early, and if it's too late I get tired. I strive for balance, I suppose. Now that I am rarely working, I still try not to sleep all day, and I'm doing pretty well so far.
24. Do you have any pets? Yes, but it seems to be less and less all the time. Currently we have Shadow (a wee black kitty) and two chickens named Belle and Candle. In the last year, we lost Luna, Book and Achilles. It's been a sad year. M and I may get a cat when he is back from camp.
25. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share? I think I'm dropping my Masters in Divinity in favor of a Masters in Counseling. Turns out it doesn't help much as a therapist to have an M.Div, and the school I am at is super-conservative. All signs point to "make it go away".
26. What did you want to be when you were little? A marinebiologist, so I could pet whales. Turns out there is a lot of science. Bummer.
27. What is your best childhood memory? Perhaps playing "Hook" and "Peter Pan" with some of the kids at the daycare. I was always Wendy, and told stories. We'd make forts and fight pirates. It was all so real back then!
28. Are you a cat or dog person? Very a cat person. I like a critter that (mostly) takes care of itself, and is soft to pet, and shows appreciation without eating your stuffed animals.
29. Are you married? Yes. Technically. Thanks for bringing it up. The initial paperwork is filed, in about two weeks, I'll go and set a court date. Which reminds me, I need to get some preliminary paperwork. Why is it so easy to get married and so hard to get divorced?
30. Always wear your seat belt? Yes. Even if we aren't going far. I have to think about not wearing it.
31. Been in a car accident? Only as a passenger. I sprained my sternum, and had some sweet bruising. And I got a fat settlement check!
32. Any pet peeves? People saying I'm too young to do something. Unhelpful remarks in class. Sexism, consumerism, bigotry...the usual.
33. Favorite Pizza Toppings? Pineapple and canadian bacon. Least likely to give me an upset stomach.
34. Favorite flower? Hydrangea are probably my favourite.
35. Favorite ice cream? I have to eat sorbet or else badness. But when I do imbibe, good ol' vanilla is most likely it. With brownies.
36. Favorite fast food restaurant? I seem to eat at Burger King a lot. I like Taco Bell best, but it kills me, so I eat at Taco Time when I can afford it.
37. How many times did you fail your driver's test? For which lisence? I think I failed my regular once and my class B one once on the written and once on the practical (couldn't name the damn bus parts).
38. From whom did you get your last email? Probably spam. But for real was a professor with academic advice, which I had solicited before class.
39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? CREDIT IS EVIL!! I can't think of a place where I would wantonly spend so much money.
40. Do anything spontaneous lately? I sponaneously went swimming nekkid. But we were at a clothing optional festival. It was only spontaneous because I don't like swimming in chlorinated pools, and despite years of swim lessons, I can't swim very well. But it was hot. And there were noodles to float on. And there was tianas_knife.
41. Like your job? I like working at the Academic Institute, because it pays so much for so little work, but I feel like I am using my teaching degree. I like having school as a job, though it doesn't pay a lot of bills. I accidently got a job working for the elections department, a job which involves sitting in a hot place, mostly. I like reading tarot for money because it is like giving therapy, but it is hard to get clients.
42. Broccoli? What about it? That is not a complete sentence. It is good steamed and raw, in smallish quantities.
43. What was your favorite vacation? Probably driving to Utah with my Grandma when I was 12. That was the first time I menstrated (Which was weird for me) but we went to all kinds of cool places like the dinosaur national park, and there may have been a summer flirtation.
44. Last person you went out to dinner with? Tianas_knife and I got some food on the way home from the festival. Mostly I eat out by myself, which is pitiful, I know, but it is too hot to cook.
45. What are you listening to right now? Just typing. I almost never turn my music on because I find it distracting.
46. What is your favorite color? Purple lately. I like the fact that it is gender neutral.
47. How many tattoos do you have? Two, so far. I LOVE tattoos! I like getting them and the artisitc collaboration. I like shows about people getting tattoos. I wish I had talent so I could give them to people. When I get in a job where I can be who I am, I'll probably get sleeves. And when I get my 3rd degree, I'll get the cresent moon on the forehead as a sign of my work for the Old Gods.
48. How many are you tagging for this quiz? No one, since I'm writing it on LJ and it posts automatically to Facebook. Then it will allow others the freedom to respond if they feel moved, but not obligated out of tagging.
49. What time did you finish this quiz? 6:53pm, and it's a million degrees out!
50. Coffee Drinker? No. Coffee is gross to me. I prefer a nice herbal tea. But I get my caffine from soda. It's bad, I know, but I like it.
1. What time did you wake up this morning? Around 9am, when M's med alarm went off. Which is weird, because usually Shadow wakes me up around 5:30 so she can go outside.
