Survey gacked from disadulation
I need to do firthgal's seven-things-you-don't-know-about-me meme but in the meantime here are some MB Q&As, in which your awareness of my Office-lovin, Diet Coke and Chipotle-lovin, job-h8ing self will be confirmed:
1. Do you prefer smoking or drinking?
Ugh, hate smoke. Much prefer margaritas and wine.
2. What were you doing at 8:00 this morning?
Lying in bed awake, telling myself to get up, listening to the news station WTOP.
3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Looking for a new job.
4. Who is your favorite fictional television character?
Ooooh tough. I'd have to say Pam Beesly, but give honorable mentions to the rest of The Office cast, The Office UK cast, and Veronica Mars.
5. What is the last thing you said aloud?
"Damn you, yes I want to go to Chipotle for lunch today." (Clearly I started this survey before lunch).
(When my agency moved office buildings 2 years ago, we moved out of Penn Quarter, a great area of DC with lots of fast & relatively inexpensive lunch places, and now we have to take Metro to get back over there. A number of other attorneys and I have been discussing for years how we need to franchise a Chipotle on Capitol Hill NE because we'd make a killing because there is nothing worthwhile here WHATSOEVER and we are TOTALLY BITTER about it).
6. How many different things did you drink today?
Just Diet Coke, of course. Don't tell my trainer.
7. What are you wearing right now?
Black pants, black v-neck cotton sweater, and black sandals. It is 90 degrees outside, but it is 50 degrees in my office. My tootsies are cold. I couldn't wear these pants a couple of months ago, and now they are loose and I have to keep pulling them up! :)
8. What was the last thing you bought?
If you ask me this question at any point of any day, there is a 99% chance that the answer is Diet Coke. So I will also disclose the last interesting thing I bought, which was my Office Season 3 DVDs. Dear BJ and Mindy, ILU please provide commentary for every episode and please be best friends with me and please get together again. Kthxbai
9. What is your favorite color?
Red. Maybe blue. Or pink. But probably red.
10. Name the closest blue object to you.
My agency's 52nd annual awards celebration program booklet. Not like I went. But I like to see the list of who has been here for 25+ years so I can consider shooting myself in the head if I were in their position.
11. Where do you keep your change?
I don't discriminate.
12. What is the closest picture to you?
My niece hugging me. Awwww.
13. What is the best ice cream flavor?
OMG Turkey Hill Peanut Butter Cup. There is NO BETTER peanut butter & chocolate ice cream in the world. And I've had lots. Turkey Hill is THE BEST. And in DC, I can only find it at the Giant. So most of the time I make myself do grocery shopping at the Harris Teeter.
14. What is something you are excited about?
My friend beautifulday72's wedding in October. I haven't seen her in about 3 years!
15. When was the last rainbow you saw?
Can't remember. Probably last year.
16. Do you have a sister?
Do I have a sister. Is the Pope German? (hee, deleted scenes!)
Interesting fact, if you don't already know: My sister and I were born less than 11 months apart (I was born July 4, '73 and my sister was born June 2 of '74). Yeah, that whole thing about breastfeeding being a natural method of birth control? Don't believe the hype!
17. Are you very random?
fuck you
18. Do you want to cut your hair?
I hate getting my hair cut. All that anxiety! My mom still hounds me about getting it cut.
19. Are you over the age of 21?
Quite.
20. Do you talk a lot?
My Italian grandfather used to call me "chiacchierone," which means "chatterbox." Plus I'm a lawyer. So, yeah.
21. Do you watch The O.C.?
Pffft. I only have time for The Office, 30 Rock and Heroes. I DVR some other stuff but normally have to delete before I get around to watching because I can't bring myself to delete old Office eps.
22. Does your screen name have an "x" in it?
No. Should it?
23. Do you know anyone named Barbie?
Not anymore. ILU, Kate!
24. Do you make up your own words?
I just rely on Steve Carell to make up words for me, like incalculacable.
26. Are you typically a jealous person?
Only of the unreasonably-beautiful-and-multi-talented-and-have-slept-with-John-Krasinski Rashida Jones.
27. Name a friend whose name starts with the letter "B":
In high school I was friends with identical twins named Brad and Chad. No lie.
29. Name a friend whose name starts with the letter "K"
beautifulday72!
30. Who's the 1st person on your received calls list?
My sister. Of course.
31. What did the last text message you received say?
My brother was cursing the Phillies. They are in the wild card race, and they were up by 6 runs yesterday, but they let the Braves score 7 runs in the last 2 innings and lost.
32. Do you like the last person who called you?
Yes.
33. Do you like the last person that texted you?
Sometimes. ;) Kidding, I love my bro. Bros before hos!
34. Name your favorite memory with the last person who called you?
I don't think I could possibly identify one favorite. My sister is my best friend and she has been for my whole life.
35. Name your favorite memory with the last person who texted you.
Yeah, I can't do this for my brother, either. I will say that I very much enjoyed the 5 days I spent in Texas visiting him a few months ago. We get along much better now than we used to.
36. How many times have you cussed today?
Incalculacable. I took Metro today. (To get to Chipotle).
37. What is something you say a lot?
"You guys, I don't know what I'm going to dooooooooooooooooo." /whine
"Do you think they would hire me?"
"Fuck."
"Are you an attorney? ... We can only provide interpretive guidance as to the statutes, rules and regulations governing the federal [subject] laws, and can't answer your [dumbass, waste-of-time] question about/provide you with legal advice.... I think you should contact a [subject] lawyer. "
38. What is the last thing you ate?
Animal crackers. Nutritious vending machine breakfast!
39. What are you doing right now?
Looking for a new job.
40. Do you have work tomorrow?
Fuck.
41. Is your best friend older than you?
Nope, she's 11 months younger.
42. When was the last time you said "I love you"?
I don't say it that often. But I did yesterday, to my 4-year-old niece when she was getting off the phone after telling me about her first day at preschool.
43. What should you be doing now?
Working.
44. Do wish you had a different name?
Sometimes. But now that I live in a state whose Division of Motor Vehicles can actually manage to reflect my proper name on my driver's license, it's not as big a deal as it used to be. Like when I had to take the bar exam with my passport opened up and clipped to my collar and interfering with my writing.
45. Have you lost something recently?
My will to work. Oh, and 20 pounds! :)
47. Do you live with anyone?
All byyyyyy myyyyyyselllllfffff. Don't wanna live.... Someday I'm going to rescue a dog, hopefully a basset hound or maybe a beagle and call him Murphy.
48. Is there anyone you like right now?
It's been 2 years since my major crush moved to Cali. I still lurve him, but I feel like I might someday come to lurve somebody else more local. That's good enough.
49. When was the last time you did the dishes, be honest...?
Hmmm. Excellent question.
50. Are you currently happy?
I'm miserable. But I'll feel better soon, I hope.
