Meme from my sister's LJ
Make a list of things you can see without getting up: Computer Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc., Purse, Cup of tea, Phone, Hairbrush, Space heater, wood stove, LOTS of computer related stuff, a redwood forest, my deck, patio furniture, plants, a cat, hmm, I think this could go on forever, I can see a lot from my desk!
What were you like when you were five? very very shy
What are you wearing now? jeans, long underwear, shirt, fleece pullover, down booties
What story/book/novel have you read over and over again in your life? I don't tend to read something more than once although Craig got me a poker book for Christmas that I keep rereading.
What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading? I listen to more audiobooks than reading books; I'm listening to the Amber Splyglass right now.
Do you nap a lot? Never; if I try I just lay there thinking about all the things I could be doing.
Who was the last person you hugged? Craig
What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction? Pokerstars
What was the last thing you ate today? A bowl of cereal - half Grape Nuts and half Raisin Bran
What was the last thing you said aloud? "Do you want some breakfast" (to my cat)
What websites do you always visit when you go online? Livejournal, CNN, Craigslist
What was the last thing you bought? Postage Stamps
What are you listening to right now? The wood crackling in the wood stove, my laptop fan, a bird squaking.
If you could have any super power, what would it be? I agree with Erica, teleportation. And I would like to be able to teleport people with me if I want to.
What is your favorite weather, and why? Summer, warm and dry; I love being outdoors but I don't like being at all cold. I also like being able to let fresh air into the house.
What time do you usually get up? usually between 6am-8:30am depending on work/etc. My body doesn't change schedules quickly so even on weekends it wakes me up early. On vacations I get on a later schedule after a few days and wake up more like 9-10am.
What is your most challenging goal right now? I don't really do goals but the challenging thing for me right now is trying to get good at poker; seems like it should be possible but I haven't figured it out yet!
Say something to the person who tagged you: Hi Erica!!
If you could have a house-totally paid for, fully furnished-anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? Scotts Valley. I like living here and my friends are here and having the house paid for and fully furnished would relieve our huge financial burden!
Favorite vacation spot? Hawaii, no contest!
What is your favorite children’s book? One I remember liking a lot as a young child was Jean-Marie (not sure if I'm spelling it right.) I think it was about a child with a pet, maybe a lamb or something. Oh, also a book about a very small house wedged between large buildings that has a cookie recipe at the end. I think I still have both of these books.
Name one thing you just can’t resist no matter how bad it is for you: Too much chocolate at one time!
If you could meet anyone famous - dead or alive - who would it be? Hmm, no one comes to mind; I guess I'm not that into meeting famous people. I would like to meet my great-grandparents that I didn't get to know (I grew up near one great-grandfather and step-great-grandmother, but didn't get to know any of the others.)
What was your first job? Other than paid chores around the house, probably Kid Power, a "business" my sister and I started after reading a book about kids starting such a business. We pulled weeds, did odd jobs, babysat, etc.
What do you love to do? Cook, be outdoors in warm weather, sit around with friends, travel to interesting places, play poker online, crafts especially scrapbooking.
What cool or interesting website have you recently discovered? Instructables.com
What is/was for dinner tonight? Meeting friends at Fresh Choice (it's kid friendly and most of my friends have kids.)
