Long-@$$ Meme
This one is really friggin' long! But now you will all know so much more about me! Like if I like orange juice or not. Hey, it could be important!
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
Well, it is currently on 7am. Which is WAY too early to be getting up, I say.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Like, really kissed? Oh, yes. His name was (is?) Dustin, and I was 17 and totally in love. *Sigh* Then I wised up soon after, but it was fun while it lasted.
6. Do you remember where you were on 11/9/01?
I was sleeping in, as I only went to class on Monday and Wednesday, and my best friend burst into the room and said two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center and one had just hit the Pentagon. It was the most surreal way to be woken up, and it took me a little while watching the TV to believe it. I was up just in time to see the South Tower collapse. I remember thinking that maybe most people got out, then I watched the North Tower go down and it really hit me how huge this was. It took me weeks to really wrap my head around it and start to grieve.
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Oh, taking the picture, all the way. I was a professional studio photographer, and I absolutely adored it; I still love to take pictures as a hobby.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
Oh, I just saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding for the first time yesterday! It was absolutely wonderful, and I totally want one of my own Ian Millers.
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Oh, yes. Step and otherwise. I tend to hang out with people my senior, so quite a few people I would call friends back home have kids, some not that much younger than me.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Me and my best friend. And that's only when I am lying around on my day off and am too lazy to get the remote. I am not what you would call a lazy person. :)
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
Absolutely not. The only time I do that is when I am sick as a dog and I will take NyQuil or something. Even then, I only do that when I am really bad off.
12. What CD is currently in your CD player?
Heh, heh, I don' even own a CD player anymore. But on iTunes, I have been listening to my Billy Joel's Ultimate Hits.
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
I drink skim milk in cereal, but I don't typically drink it in a glass unless it's chocolate.

Jellyrolls Friday night, baby! Oh, and I think I will be going on my first out of town business trip in two weeks, I hope!
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Dear lord, I was addicted. I quit dance lessons when I was nine because my mother was silly enough to give me a choice between dance and my Thursday afternoon cartoons. Needless to say, I regret that decision.
20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
I have a Beatles Yellow Submarine tshirt that I love. And a Billy Joel shirt from his concert here in Orlando.

Laptop. Don't have the other.
26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?

27. What’s the weather like?
After a weekend of 80 and sunny skies, it was a balmy 70 something with no a hint of sunshine all day. Oh, well.
