Ridiculous meme designed to get me at least posting in LJ again. Snagged from the lovely sarrabellum.
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Any bill - being broke sucks.
2. Where's the best place to eat a romantic dinner?
Outside, under the stars, with candles and a bonfire nearby.
3. Last time you puked from drinking?
2004: soda + hard liquor + Paxil + big hooka hits of chronic = gigantic sickness death-wishing Rowan. Puking helped.
4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
I am pleased to say that I have never danced on a bar. Who does that?
5. Name of your first grade teacher?
I can't remember her name, but I remember what she looked like. She had a bowl haircut and looked a lot like Sandy Duncan. Her name might have been Miss Piper.
6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
I want to be out on the road, driving down the 101 with my best guy, feeling the cool air coming in through my window, listening to good music.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Cowgirl, writer, marine biologist, film director, veterinarian, crazy cat lady.
9. Why did you wear the shirt that you have on right now?
I'm wearing a cotton granny-style nightshirt that my mother gave me when I was recovering from surgery. It's the coolest thing I own for sleeping in.
10. Gas prices!
I take the bus, so gas prices don't have me suffering too much. I'm far more concerned about peak oil and the inevitible oil crisis that I'm seeing coming. We desperately need to focus on alternative enegry sources. I'm trying to do my part by recycling, reusing, buying things with little or no packing, producing some of my own food, and buying locally. These simple things save gas from shipping food and goods, eliminate demand for byproducts of petroleum, and alleviate some of the pressure on dwindling oil reserves. I don't want to support oil wars any more!
11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would you go and who?
I would move to a place just like this one, but that Rob and I could afford on our own. We currently share a home with two housemates who are great, but I miss living on our own.

26. Beach Or lake?
Either! I love both. I like swimming in a lake better though - the waves are far less violent and I don't end up with saltwater in my sinuses.
27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual that was invented by people who died at 20?
Sometimes. I think there are aspects of modern marriage that don't make much sense. I'm a total romantic though. I want to believe in true love, I want to believe in marriage for life. I want to believe that the committment can strengthen the bond between two people and make their love stronger. I think that it has the capacity to trap or liberate people. I think that marriage has had to change as society has changed, it certainly does not exist in this country as it did 200 years ago. It means something different now.

A comfy couch, sweet kitties to cuddle with, good movies, and my sweetie to fulfill my every desire and make me organic chicken soup from scratch.
