Hi, everybody!

1. Have you ever left the country you live in and where?
A couple of times, but I didn't go very far. When I was seven, my parents took me on a cruise to the Bahamas. I had fun, but I think I'd enjoy it more as an adult. And a few years ago, I went to Toronto to visit some friends.

2. What countries would you visit if time and money ( Read more... )

1. Do you prefer to play games on a console or PC?Console. My ex kept trying to convince me that PC gaming was better for some reason, but I would have none of it. With a console, you don't have to worry about whether your game will ( Read more... )

1. What do you really want to be when you grow up?
Well, I guess I'm technically grown up, and I am a librarian. So there you go. I do reference right now, but I'd like to be a systems librarian. And I think it would be really nifty to be a freelance technical writer.

2. Where were you born?
St. Ann's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

3. Who were ( Read more... )

1) You are on your way to work, when suddenly a wormhole to the far side of the galaxy opens in the middle of the road. You are thus the first to meet the alien being that emerges. Despite your protestations, you are now Earth’s unofficial First Contact ambassador. What will you say to the visitor?Throw up the Vulcan ( Read more... )

While I was cleaning my living room today, I found four tubes of lip balm. I know I have at least two more at work, and at least one at broodingfool's place. I fear I will end up like these people, but with really soft lips.

1. How often do you clean your home?Depends on the part of the home. I try to do the kitchen every other day or so, the bathroom every week or so, living room and bedroom get picked up and vacuumed every... er... couple of weeks or so. Litter box gets scooped at least once a day, of course. Cleaning up too often is futile, as cats are physical ( Read more... )

Copy this sentence into your LJ if you love bacon with a passion that borders on holy, where you imagine yourself eating strips of bacon out of a bowl made of bacon with bacon bits sprinkled all over it...with bacon ice cream for desert.

... I wish I had some bacon. :(

I haven't been blogging much. Obviously. And it's not that I have nothing to talk about, it's just that I feel like none of it's very interesting to talk about. LJ is all about drama, and I have none. I guess being on an even keel again is good, though. My job is mostly good, with the usual little frustrations that come with librarianship. I'm ( Read more... )
