Alphabet Meme!
(Because I'm waiting for an episode of 30 Rock to finish downloading.)
A. Age: 22. Such a baby.
B. Bed size: Queen
C. Chore you hate: DISHES. I can never make them all clean!
D. Dogs: When I am less broke and have some kind of stability in my life, I will have one. Or two. Or many.
E. Essential start to your day: Lately, a backward bend or two. Nothing is more refreshing. Usually followed by singing in the shower.
F. Favorite color: Red, forest green, turquoise
G. Gold or silver: silver
H. Height: 5'8", which is not too tall, but allows me to tower pleasantly if I wear heels.
I. Instruments you play: Piano, violin (although it's been ages since I played the latter).
J. Job title: Grad student (i.e. future vagrant)
K. Kids: None in the foreseeable future.
L. Live: Victoria, Canada. It's advertised in British travel magazines as North America's Most British City! (I wish I were joking...)
M. Mom’s name: Louise
N. Nicknames: I have a name that lends itself to many, many terrible nicknames. I will not share any of them.
O. Overnight hospital stays: None. I have been absurdly healthy my entire life. Possibly not even when I was born, because I think the nurses were on strike.
P. Pet peeve: SANS GLUTEN FREE. Oh, bilingual packaging.
Q. Quote from a movie: "For physical pleasure, I'd sooner visit my dentist any day." (Bright Young Things-taken directly out of Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh, but Emily Mortimer delivers it SO PERFECTLY.)
R. Right or left handed: Right. I spent a large part of my childhood trying to teach myself to be ambidextrous because I thought 'ambidextrous' was the best word ever. I failed.
S. Siblings: My absolutely delightful younger sister.
T. Time you wake up: Around 8 or 9.
U. Underwear: If I have done my laundry recently! (Also, compulsively matching.)
V. Vegetables you dislike: Vegetables are the love of my life. Especially when roasted.
W. What makes you run late: Everything ever. Fortunately, I live on an island where nobody really cares.
X. X-Rays you’ve had: Teeth. And an ultrasound on my knee and my ovaries.
Y. Yummy food you make: Thai green curry, these chickpea cutlet things, various pasta dishes, roasted red pepper hoummous... and lots of other things.
Z. Zoo: Horribly sad, but nevertheless fascinating.
Also, today was my 61st day of yoga. Yay?
