1. Do you like blue cheese?
Yes, on salads, and occasionally as a dip, like in place of ranch with pizza or chicken strips.
2. Have you ever smoked?
No. I like the scent of pipe tobacco - one of my grandfathers used a pipe occasionally - but except for that and a few cigars, I loathe the smell. I can really feel it in my throat, which is especially annoying since it's bad for singing.
3. Do you own a gun?
Yes, including staple and airsoft. Technically the glue gun is a loan...
4. What is your favorite flavor?
For what? In general, spearmint is pretty awesome.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor visits?
Depends on what the visit is for.
6. What do you think of hot dogs?
Pretty yummy.
7. Favorite Christmas movie?
Holiday Inn. Though the last couple years I've watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade while decorating the tree.
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Apple-flavored soft drink.
9. Do you do push-ups?
Not voluntarily.
10. What is your favorite piece of jewelry?
I've worn my Aggie ring every day since I got it, with the exception of reenacting and costuming events where it would be anachronistic. Aside from that, the rose gold and morganite earrings my mother gave me for Christmas. I'm also very fond of my pearl/CZ earrings that are similar to
QEII's button earrings.
11. Favorite hobby?
Hitting the high notes, and swanning around in pretty clothes with my friends. I'm waiting for the opportunity to combine both...
12. Do you have A.D.D.?
No.
13. What is the one thing you hate about yourself?
Pride.
14. Middle name?
Melissa.
15. Name three thoughts right now?
1) Why is my arm twitching?
2) It's getting late and I'm sleepy.
3) What am I going to work on tomorrow?
16. Name 3 drinks you drink regularly.
Water, Diet Pepsi, and Dr Pepper 10.
17. Where's the question?
AWOL.
18. Current hate right now?
I try not to have a hate.
19. Favorite place to be?
Home.
20. How do you ring in the New Year?
Last year, staying up eatting yummy food and watching what I want to, and listening to the neighbors blow up fireworks.
21. Where would you like to go?
England. Three days there years ago wasn't enough. And definitely Williamsburg.
22. Name three people who will complete this?
Whoever feels like it!
23. Do you own slippers?
Yep. My toes get cold stupidly easily, even in summer, and I can't sleep when they're cold.
24. What colour shirt are you wearing?
White and pale blue 1960s vintage nightgown.
25. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets?
I never have, but I doubt it. I love smooth, cool percale sheets. Sateen is too soft and warm even when it's not pilly.
26. Can you whistle?
Yep, pretty well, both in and out with no change of tone. I used to be able to get even higher notes by whistling between my front teeth, but braces put an end to that. The only thing I regret about braces.
27. Favourite colour?
Dunno, I like a lot. From my wardrobe, medium blue. But I also love white, and red, and various minty/limey/grassy greens. And pink.
28. Would you be a pirate?
Not for real. That's a seriously selfish lifestyle.
29. What songs do you sing in the shower?
Usually choir songs, especially when I'm trying to learn something or stretch out my voice.
30. Favourite girls name?
This isn't something I've ever considered.
31. Favourite boys name?
Nor that either.
32. What is in your pocket right now?
No pockets in a nightgown! But if I have one, always my step counter.
33. Last person that made you laugh?
I think the checker at Walmart this morning.
34. Best toy as a child?
The swingset.
35. Worst injury?
Probably stepping on a golf tee, point up. One measly stitch. But I had a couple of alarming experiences from disobeying my parents when I was very young - touching the hot iron, and shocking myself trying to plug in the Christmas tree lights - so I think that's why I'm so very cautious now.
36. Where would you love to live?
Aside from heaven, I can't think of anywhere else but here! North Texas is NOT heaven, but with all its quirks, this is my home and I really do love it.
37. How many TVs do you have in your house?
1, plus the computer monitor with an antennae receiver.
38. Who is your loudest friend?
In terms of singing voice, Aaron. Sometime we need to have a sing-off to see who's louder in our best pitches. Definitely without microphones - no one needs to hear that.
39. How many dogs do you have?
None.
40. Does someone trust you?
I believe so.
41. What's your favorite movie?
I don't have one. Last Crusade and Charade are the first to come to mind right this second.
42. What is your favorite sweet?
Ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie dough and cherry vanilla are current favorites.
43. What is your favorite sports team?
For pro, the Texas Rangers. For college, Texas Aggies of course.
44. What song do you want played at your funeral?
Well Done, My Faithful Servant (Choplin) 45. And since that was a morbid note to end on -- what is your favorite thing about *yourself*?
I am a new creation!
