Goodness knows, I love a survey
I want to write, but I don't wanna think hard, as it's been a long and thinky day, so this survey from

wordweaverlynn looks to be just the thing. I think they're supposed to be done 1 per day, but I'm 10 days late, so here we go with the first 10.
1. How do you feel about snow?
I love it, but I haven't lived in it since I was 7, so I am not sure how I'd like it as a not-kid.
2. If you were a toy, what would you be?
Pft. I AM a toy. (James: "I don't know, but I know you couldn't buy it without being 18 or over.")
3. What’s your current weather situation, and how is it affecting your day?
It's chilly and gray, and I love it. But I couldn't see the ISS today, so that was a very small bummer.
4. What was the last live performance or concert you attended?
I think it was a college production of Bring It On.
5. What is the most offensive thing a person could say to you?
Stealing Lynn's answer: Any opinion about people that’s based on the tenets of the KKK, the Westboro Baptist Church, and/or Donald Trump.
6. Do you take compliments or praise well?
And again with Lynn's answer. Lynn is wise: I’ve learned to do that.
7. Who was your first teeny-bopper celebrity crush? Did you have posters on your wall? Did you ever see them in concert or meet them in person? (Pictures, please! Gotta have that pin-up poster on the wall.)
Oh, lord, so embarrassing. Had a whole bedroom wall devoted to cut-out Tiger Beat photos of... Scott Baio.
8. What is your morning routine like?
I get up around 6, turn off my CPAP, go to the bathroom and shower/brush teeth, etc., while James puts away the bed. Then I take my thyroid pill, wait 30 minutes, eat breakfast and take my breakfast pill. I start work at 10am, and many days, I spend the next few hours reading, writing, or playing my video game. I used to be productive in the mornings; these days, I just let myself exist.
9. What is your evening routine like?
Work ends at 6:30. James and I usually watch TV in the evening, and there's usually a snack involved (we eat around 5pm, while I'm still at work). We go to bed at 10 and I read my e-books in bed before going to sleep.
10. Of the four personality temperaments based on the ancient Greek humors-sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric, and melancholic, which one best describes you?
I have a vague memory of doing these in school, but I don't remember which one, so I shall google a test and trust that: Your temperament is phlegmatic. The phlegmatic temperament is fundamentally relaxed and quiet, ranging from warmly attentive to lazily sluggish. Phlegmatics tend to be content with themselves and are kind. They are accepting and affectionate. They may be receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are consistent, relaxed, calm, rational, curious, and observant, qualities that make them good administrators. They can also be passive-aggressive.
11. If you could live in any TV show, which one would you choose?
12. What’s your favorite holiday cookie? (Post the recipe?)
13. What is something you’ve done that no one would expect of you?
14. If 2021 could see you moving to another city, where would you go?
15. What’s the best thing to do on a snowy day?
16. Are there any foods you are allergic to?
17 .What was the biggest change in your life in 2020?
18. What is your favorite local restaurant where you live? What type of food, atmosphere, and prices does this place have?
19. Have you ever been told you look like someone famous?
20. What TV game show would you be really good at?
21. At the solstice, as the light begins to return, what would you like to see increase in your life over the next few months?
22. Are you a “peeker” about gifts, or do you prefer to be surprised?
23. Do you think you will be making any New Year’s resolutions in January?
24. Do you prefer to receive money/gift cards or an actual gift?
25. If you could receive a $1000 gift card from any store, which would you choose?
26. It’s Thank You Note Day/Boxing Day. Do you write hand-written thank-you notes or do you thank people for gifts in some other way?
27. No matter what holidays you do (or do not) celebrate, do you have a good recipe for leftovers? Post it!
28. Do you usually make a special effort to thank someone who does you a favor? How do you react when you aren't thanked for going out of your way for someone?
29. Would you rather your life have a rewind button or a pause button?
30. If you could change one bad habit you have, what would it be?
31. Do you prefer beginnings or endings? Collapse This entry was originally posted on Dreamwidth (DW). I welcome comments here or at the original post, where there are currently
comments. If you don't have a DW account, you can post using your LJ name as an OpenID account, or feel free to comment anonymously and I'll unscreen.
