50 questions meme
50 questions meme, from dreamflower02:
1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
"I really should clean this mirror."
2. How much cash do you have on you?
None. I keep my cash in my wallet which I don't tend to have on me when I'm just lounging around the house.
3. What’s a word that rhymes with DOOR?
Snore
4. Favo(u)rite planet?
Direidi, the planet that the Star Trek TOS crew visit in the pro novel How Much For Just the Planet?, which is my favorite Trek pro novel.
5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone?
Some joker who was calling and texting my phone repeatedly a couple of days ago, under the impression that my number belonged to their friend who I think they were trying to arrange getting a lift from. I didn't talk to them since I generally don't answer unless I know the person, but that's what I gathered from the texts. I finally just blocked/spamlisted them.
6. What is your favorite ringtone on your phone?
It's a tossup. I'm the kind of person who likes to have different ringtones for different people: Bicycle Race by Queen for my husband (because he's a cyclist), What's New Pussycat by Tom Jones for our vet, Keep Yourself Alive by Queen for my doctor's office, the 2005-09 Doctor Who theme for unknown numbers. Ha ha, I'm so clever.
7. What shirt are you wearing?
A t-shirt with different colored flowers on a blue background that has a few purple blotches here and there. There are sparkles on some of the flowers.
8. Do you label yourself?
No
9. Name the brand of the shoes you’re currently wearing?
I'm wearing slippers, not shoes. No idea what the brand is.
10. Bright or dark room?
For what purpose? Bright if I'm reading, dark if I'm sleeping.
11. What do you think about the person who took this survey before you?
She's an excellent writer and seems like a very nice person.
12. What does your watch look like?
I haven't worn a watch regularly for a few years. I have a black, kinda ugly one that I sometimes will wear in conjunction with my heart rate monitor.
13. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Sleeping. Because I'm extremely boring.
14. What did your last text message you received on your cell say?
It was the pharmacy letting me know my meds were ready for pickup. Not going to quote it because (1) too much identifying information and (2) no one gives a crap.
15. Where is your nearest 7-11?
About a mile away, to the east, but it's kaput.
16. What's a word that you say a lot?
"Uh-huh"
17. Who told you he/she loved you last?
Mr. DeNimme
18. Last furry thing you touched?
Bijou, our 1-year-old tuxedo kitty. She's my Jelly Baby. :)
19. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
Lots and lots. Or maybe just a few. None of them recreational, though.
20. How many rolls of film do you need developed?
Hey, I'm old but I'm not THAT old.
21. Favorite age you have been so far?
Don't think I have one. Each one has had its highlights and lowlights.
22. Your worst enemy?
Time.
23. What is your current desktop picture?
A picture I took in New Zealand, of some small islands (just big rocks really) in the appropriately-named Bay of Islands, near Paihia. It was a beautiful sunny day and the sea was sparkling just so. Ahhh...
24. What was the last thing you said to someone?
Don't remember. Must not have been important.
25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly, what would it be?
Million bucks, any day. But only if you mean money, not male deer.
26. Do you like someone?
I like plenty of people.
27. The last song you listened to?
Lea Salonga's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. She's amazing, BTW.
28. What time of day were you born?
7:59 am.
29. What is your favo(u)rite number?
I don't have one.
30. Where did you live in 1987?
Indianapolis.
31. Are you jealous of anyone?
No.
32. Is anyone jealous of you?
If so, they're doing a great job of keeping it to themselves.
33. Where were you when 9/11 happened?
At home. We lived in a flat at the time.
34. What do you do when vending machines steal your money?
I guess I probably wouldn't do anything except avoid that machine in the future. Maybe complain if there was an appropriate person around.
35. Do you consider yourself kind?
For the most part.
36. If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be?
The only reason I would get a tattoo would be if someone held a gun to my head and demanded that I get one or die. And if that were the case, where I got it would probably be their choice, not mine.
37. If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be?
Spanish, probably. I took some in high school, which was too late for it to really stick (US schools are terrible about that, or they were when I was a kid). Now my city has a huge Hispanic population, though, so it could have come in handy. Alas, I can only pick out a word here and there whenever I hear people speaking it.
38. Would you move for the person you loved?
I'll scoot over on the couch for them, sure.
39. Are you touchy feely?
Pretty much only with my husband.
40. What’s your life motto?
I didn't have one until a minute ago when I looked up some quotes from Tim Minchin. So this is my new life motto: "Searching for meaning is like searching for a rhyme scheme in a cookbook: you won’t find it and you’ll bugger up your souffle." Thanks, Tim.
41. Name three things that you have on you at all times?
OK, I'm going to assume the writer of this meme meant "things other than clothes" and was aware that (ideally) you have nothing on you when you're bathing/showering. But in that case, I still don't really have an answer. Unless I'm out, my phone is either in my pocket or on the charger, my keys are on a shelf, my wallet is in my bag.
42. What’s your favo(u)rite town/city?
I really enjoyed Queenstown, New Zealand when I was there.
43. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
Jeans.
44. When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it?
There have probably been a few times since, actually, but the last time I remember was in December 2009, the month before my dad died. He never had a computer so it was always either phone calls or snail mail letters.
45. Can you change the oil on a car?
I suppose it would be physically possible, if I could ever remember how. But it's a moot point now anyway, now that we've got an electric car.
46. Your first love: what is the last thing you heard about him/her?
That he's sweet, said by the waitress at the restaurant we ate at earlier today. Actually she said something like "You guys are sweet", so technically I was included in that.
47. How far back do you know about your ancestry?
Apparently I'm descended from John Paul Jones. Other than that, I don't know much at all except that my maternal grandmother's family were German immigrants.
48. The last time you dressed fancy, what did you wear and why did you dress fancy?
A blue dress, to my nephew's wedding.
49. Does anything hurt on your body right now?
No.
50. Have you been burned by love?
No.
