Another Tardy Lemming
Worst Colour You've Dyed Your Hair: I don’t do dyes because my hair is naturally very dark brown and it would get very damaged. However, I have done washes in the following colors: blue, purple, ruby, and burgundy. The ruby one stuck around a little too long and got a little ruddy and brassy but that’s about the worst colour disaster.
Do you know why the foreign kid on That 70's Show is called 'Fes'? Nope. Doesn’t really make sense to me. I think he’s Hispanic, but that’s about all I know.
If you could have sex with one person RIGHT NOW, who would it be? Someone who can bend like a pretzel, breathe through their ears, and put the Energizer Bunny to shame.
What are you doing tomorrow? After work, leaving for my folks’ place at Lake Texoma to celebrate Thanksgiving. punkinbutt & her hubby have to work Thursday, so tomorrow and Tuesday are their holiday/weekend.
If you were having a party tomorrow night, who would be 5 people you would absolutely want to be there? cluegirl (and she would bring KingOberon so yay!), buffalobills, The Original Scottish Cardinal, yinshu because I miss her too, and for my final I’m counting the Once and Future Collective as a single unit! ;-)
Ever made out at a drive-in movie?
No, and I feel depraved deprived.
Ever had a one night stand?
::whistles nonchalantly::
If a hot girl or guy walked into your room right now wanting sex, and you really clicked, would you do it? Hmmm, that’s difficult. Junior and I are getting ready to have the exclusivity conversation. Right now I’d have to say no because I’d be pretty devastated if the shoe were on the other foot.
Not sure I’m ready to take that leap into agreed upon monogamy because the implications are rather scary, but once I do there is absolutely no question of fidelity.
But given a situation with no Junior and loads of chemistry, BRING IT!!!
Ever fallen asleep on the toilet?
Closest I came was passing out in the bathroom (SXSW 2002). I was on the toilet and saw my PJs on the floor. They looked very inviting so I leaned over to get them and, well, just kept falling. Laid there for sometime in a haze, enjoying the feel of cold tile on my face.
Moral of this story? If Angie asks, “Do you trust me?” when ordering drinks, JUST SAY NO! She'll start with double Tanqueray and Tonic and it gets uglier from there... (as anyone who has had her egg nog knows too well).
Ever come close to death? Probably more than I’ll know. Had a nasty habit of falling asleep at the wheel when I was younger (not to mention some other nasty habits)...
Ever been put in a psych ward or mental hospital? Ended up in the psych ward of Parkland for an evening after a bad trip, but didn’t have to stay.
You have no choice, and absolutely HAVE to regret something you did in your life. What is it? I took Frank back. Not catastrophic but left ripples that can sometimes still reach me today. However, regretting things I did is still easier than regretting things I didn’t do.
What is your most ridiculous indulgence? Got to agree with kangitanka3 here… my Amazon.com habit. Close second? Sephora. I don’t actually need most of that stuff (which is why I don’t do it more often), but it makes me feel better.
If you could have anyone in the world sleep next to you tonight, who would you choose? To me that’s as intimate, if not moreso, than sex… so that discounts hunky actors & random beefcake automatically.
This has taken me an embarrassingly long time to answer so I guess that says way too much about me already! I tried to come up with a more interesting answer, but I kept coming back to Junior. If I had to pick someone other than the fairly obvious, it’s cluegirl cuz she’s fun at a slumber party (and if I haven’t mentioned it in the last 30 seconds, I miss her).
You're a vegetarian for one day. What do you eat? Eggplant Parmigiana and anything Greek without meat. Oh! And waffles for breakfast. With real maple syrup, thankyew very much!
Ever taken naked pictures of yourself? Oh good gods no!
What's the sweetest thing that's ever been said to you? Ever? My friends say sweet things all the time so I am fortunate there. Sad to say, but in a romantic sense, I’m usually so shocked that it doesn’t register!
However, the other day I sent a friend email thing and one of the items was “Someone thought of you last night before they drifted off to sleep” and Junior sent back “I know I did!” Yeah, he can stick around a little longer!
How do you deal with a break-up? Not very well, but I’m getting better. I usually stay too long until I’m beyond miserable because I have to know I’ve done everything in my power and there’s absolutely no chance for it to work… which means I am less than pleasant when I finally reach that point. But I think I’ve learned that lesson (although the gap between “theory” and “practice” is usually sizeable).
When's the last time you drank alcohol? In St. Louis… last Sunday before the “Invasion: ANIME” screening. Long Island Teas. Yes, several.
Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? Thankfully, no.
If you have a cellphone what brand is it? Samsung, I think.
Is there excess fat on your body? Yes, and some of its friends and relatives have come to visit too.
When did you last get a tattoo or piercing? Almost came home from NYC with something pierced… but I didn’t know where to go that was safe. Got my tattoo in 1989. Am waiting to find (or have created for me) the right artwork for more ink. Have ideas but no artistic talent myself! And the piercings are rewards for shaping up so that will have to wait until my motivation catches up with me.
Would you have ever remove a piercing because a partner didn't like it? Depends why they didn’t like it. I’d be willing to discuss, but probably not… and I probably wouldn’t be with someone who would dislike them or demand such things of me.
Do you have any wrinkles? A couple tiny ones under my eyes.
When did you last walk along a beach? About a month ago in Oscoda, Michigan (near Thunder Bay).
General Motors, Ford or Chrysler? Ford, but only if it’s a new T-Bird hard top convertible!!!
Donuts for breakfast? No, but it’s not because I dislike them… it’s just not recommended for diabetics.
Church every week? Bwaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha *pant, gasp* ha ha ha ha! Unless Thursdays or Sundays at the Lizard Lounge counts…
Do you SMS? Huh? I guess not.
Where is the last place you would want a tattoo? Face? Privates? I’ve more thought about where I would put them than where I wouldn’t.
Is 13 an unlucky number? I was born on it, so since I’m still alive and relatively content, I’d say no.
What color are the curtains in your bedroom? No curtains, just blinds and a swag.
What size and type of monitor are you using? It’s a wee 15” here at home. Samsung, I believe. But my happy Compaq at work is 21”.
What is the biggest stress in your life right now? My health/weight/appearance. Trying to juggle the time to manage my life and get everything done that’s important to me. Between the new job, career goals with Tempest and trying to still have some semblance of a life (spiritual and otherwise) I’m having a hard time.
Ever broken down in a car? Again, ditto what kangitanka3 said. Yes, emotionally and mechanically.
Can you fly an airplane? Nope.
If the internet was turned off for good, how would you spend your time? I’d write more letters but the rest would stay about the same. Might read more magazines and newspapers.
Add together the day and month of your birth? 15
What is your least favorite flavor of ice cream? I don’t tend to like anything fruity... in my ice cream, that is! Fruits as friends are perfectly acceptable (and often necessary).
