Memery
1. What curse word do you use the most?
In Yiddish, probably a broch-- effective Yiddish cursing doesn't depend on bad words, but on putting good words together in the right order. In English, 'fuck', although I prefer the gerundive form, like when speaking of my fuckin' cats, than the imperative. I don't swear much in German, and not at all in Hebrew.
2. Do you own an iPod?
Nope. Ben says I should get one. For what reason do I need a pricey little gizmo to break or lose?
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
Hell, I don't know. Probably Pippa or Alan.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
7:00, but I'm usually already up.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Ah, to be fourteen again.
6. Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?
At work. We gathered around the TVs, the radios, and just...
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Be in it. I take crappy pictures.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
I'm not sure. Tomorrow, though, Ben and I are going to watch some Lord of the Rings. Thanksgiving tradition. Yes, my son and I are geeks. Your point?
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Several.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
No. Usually the opposite.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
Not to fall asleep, no.
12. What CD is currently in your CD player?
Dylan's "Tell Tale Signs"
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
Chocolate.
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Not that I recall.
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
I think this came up on another meme some time ago. I haven't had it since that meme. I don't really drink much coffee.
16. Can you whistle?
Yup.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Hmmmm... hair, I think. Shallow as I am.
18. What are you looking forward to?
Spending some time tomorrow with Ben
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
No.
20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
A few. Most of them are relics of the seventies and should probably be burned.
21. What will you be doing in one hour?
Probably getting ready for bed.
22. Is anyone in love with you?
Highly doubtful, thank G-d.
23. What was the last song you heard?
Most of The Time
24. Last time you cried?
Earlier today, on the way home. A car took the corner close, hit the gutter water, and soaked me, which was apparently enough to set off the 'bawl like a baby' impulse. If nothing else, this week's certainly showing me I still need the anti-depressants. ...how depressing!
25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop?
Desktop.
26. Are you currently wanting any piercing or tattoos?
Oy, no.
27. What's the weather like?
Disgusting. I wish it would snow.
28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos?
I don't see why not, provided they had other things to recommend them as well.
29. What did you do before this?
Checked e-mail, called sister-in-law #1 to clarify who's bringing what on Thursday.
30. When is the last time you slept on the floor?
Oy, I don't even know. Years and years and years ago.
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
6-7, usually.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
Most days, even if it's just a bagel.
33. Are your days fast-paced?
It really depends on what things are like at the library. They tend to go faster when I'm working reference and dealing with patrons. On the days I'm just handling the books, they are kind of slow, but not to the point that I find it tedious.
34. What did you do last night?
Slept. Which is nice. Sleeping-at-night is easy to dismiss as a wonderful thing, until you can't do it.
35. Do you use sarcasm?
Me? Never. G-d forbid!
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
Pleading the Fifth on this one.
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
Sometimes.
38. Have you ever been to Six Flags?
Nope.
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
Hmm. I think it's gone back and forth a lot in my life. On the whole, though, I'll say women.
40. Do you like mustard?
It's alright. I'm more of a mayonnaise person.
41. Do you sleep on your side?
Occasionally. I prefer face-down, doing a good imitation of smothering my head in the pillow.
42. Do you watch the news?
No TV.
43. How did you get one of your scars?
C-section.
44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
Sister-in-law #1.
45. Do you like anybody?
What sort of question is this? If it's meant platonically, of course I do, it'd be a pretty sad existence to not like anybody. If it's meant romantically, then we're back into the damn "high school crush" territory that so many of these things seem to be fixated in. What next: 'Do you have a date to the prom?'
46. What is the last thing you purchased?
Foodstuffs for Thursday.
