We broke the ruptured structure built of age
I am not in a very good mood. In no small part due to the apt complex not wanting to replace the part in the A/C that needs replacing. So the maintenance guys are behind me right now cleaning it instead... again. As if it isn't going to start dripping/peeing again tonight as per usual. So... not amused... especially as they're putting in a little gym and having little parties at the office, which I guess is a better use of our rent somehow. They figure the inevitable mold problem will cost less than the part, I guess. Karen's pretty jaded about it at this point, and I'm getting there. *sigh* Next year, we can start looking to move...
Anyways, short break from working, here's a meme. I'm way overdue for one, I suppose, and there's enough new folks on my flist right now that the survey sort seems like a good idea.
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Rent, currently. :P
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Erm... lessee... well, that would have to be on the free cruise we got to attend this year! Man, that was nice.
3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
Nope, it was my Karen. :) I'm glad I waited.
4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
Hmm... that's a good question. Oh! I wouldn't have gone rollerblading that time I broke my wrist. It's current state makes a lot of things hard to keep up with, like my art, typing, etc.
5. Name your first grade teacher?
Mrs... Burton? I think?
6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Sleeping.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
When I was in kindergarden, I told my teacher that I didn't need anymore schooling because I already knew everything I needed to to be a zookeeper. ROFL! Kids. ^_^
8. How many colleges did you attend?
One, http://www.artinstitutes.edu/phoenix/
9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
It's a comfy blue tank top both for optimum heat reduction and tattoo exposure. Also, it is blue.
10. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
I love our new Corolla, but man I wish we coulda afforded a hybrid. I look forward to a shift in what we use as fuel altogether to something cleaner, more ample, and more efficient.
11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would it be?
Karen and I want to move to Portland Oregon. :)
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
Mmmrrgghhhhhhbleh
13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
Why is it I never want to go to bed on Wed night and stay up talking to Karen when Thurs is her longest day?
14. Favorite style of underwear?
I like black underwear. Mostly because if my jeans don't cover everything properly when I bend down or something to tend to babies the black looks less like underwear and more like... I dunno, I'm wearing something else as well. Black and light blue are my preferences bra-wise. Similar reasons. Looks more like a part of my outfit then undies if a strap slips or something.
15. What errand/chore do you despise?
Vacuuming. Kills my back.
16. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
I'd like to think so, yes! I've always been tempted by helping out at a raptor center, not that I don't have enough poo to clean up at home.
17. What is your favorite cartoon character?
Too many to pick. :) Also depends on what you mean by cartoon. Animated? Comics? What?
18. Favorite thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Cuddle and watch TV/movie.
19. Have you found real love yet?
Yes. :)
20. When did you first start feeling old?
I'd say around when I started getting annoyed at teenagers, but teenagers annoyed me when I was one so... hmm. Probably when I started hearing things like "Who's Jim Henson?"
21. Favorite 80's movie?
Labyrinth!
22. Your favorite lunch meat?
Turkey pwns all.
23. What do you get every time you go into Costco/Sams Club?
We don't go to them because we have like... no storage space. At all.
24. Beach or lake?
I love both, but beach wins for spiritual metaphorical and sea air reasons. :) Also, the sounds... mmm. Man, I miss the ocean.
25. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
I think rituals can be lovely, it's how marriage is defined that's outdated.
26. Do you own property?
Not yet.
27. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Food.
28. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
Hmmmm..... movie I love but am mildly ashamed of... I dunno. Maybe Moulin Rouge. I'm a bit embarrassed to enjoy it so, but... the tango! Gotta love the tango.

Water or tea. That's pretty much all I ever drink.

40. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
Not me. ;P
41. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
Nope. But now I'm really curious as to what the unintended purposes people may have used it for are?
