sereneI have some lovely alone time before everyone else wakes up, so I'm catching up on LJ, which of course includes surveys.
I changed some of the questions, because the ones that say "Who do you think will answer this?" bore me. I also stole some of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clawfoot's answers.
1. Do you like blue cheese?
Yes, but I don't love it.
2. Have you ever smoked a cigarette?
I smoked about a half a pack in the seventh grade. I hated it.
3. Do you own a gun?
No, and I never want to.
4. What flavour do you add to your drink at Sonic?
I've never been to Sonic.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
Some, but not much, unless it's the gynecologist.
6. What do you think of hot dogs?
If I'm in the mood for them, I like them. I also think they're yucky with ketchup and/or relish.
7. Favourite Christmas Song?
"Merry Christmas, Darling"
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Nothing, but I have to have my pill with a glass of water, so I choke it down.
9. Can you do push ups?
I don't know. I haven't tried in years.
10. What's your favourite meal?
Oh, man, no way I could pick a favorite. Right now, though, sushi sounds really good.
11. What's your favourite piece of jewelry?
It's impossible to pick one. The favorites are all, however, things someone made for me.porcinea's charm bracelet (on chain she made herself!); sogwife's garnet choker; firecat's invisible-chain necklaces; etc.
12. Favourite hobby?
Cooking, hands down.
13. Do you work with people who idolize you?
Yeah, I guess I do. My mother would say "They think I walk on water." At any rate, I spend a fair bit of every day responding to compliments about how much I rock.
14. Do you have ADD/ADHD?
Nope.
15. What's one trait that you dislike about yourself?
I interrupt people. I'm perpetually working on that. I think I've gotten better. My friends can correct me if I'm mistaken.
16. Middle name?
The same as my mother's first name,wtfpotatoes's first name, and my favorite cousin's middle name. It's a family thing. My first name also appears other places in the family.
17. Name 3 thoughts at this moment.
(a) Depending on how personal the rest of this survey gets, I may lock it down.
(b) Geeze; what's making me sneeze so much?
(c) Ooh!someotherguy's awake!
18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday:
(a) canned spaghetti and meatballs (I know, I know. I had a craving.)
(b) school supplies for the munchkin (so fun!)
(c) lunch for me andsomeotherguy
20. Current worry right now?
I have some low-level anxiety about how the weekend will go, but nothing reaching "worry" levels.
21. Current hate right now?
None, and I'm grateful for that. My current peeve, though, is Democrats who say that since their favorite prospect didn't get picked to be Obama's running mate, they're gonna vote for McCain. Fuckwits. And if you are one of them, consider yourself warned that if you tell me that, I'm gonna think (though probably not say) that you're a fuckwit.
22. Favourite place to be?
My homes. Here, atstonebender's, and with my mom.
23. How did you bring in the New Year?
If I recall correctly,wtfpotatoes was here, so we did birthday stuff with her.
24. Where would you like to go?
Right this minute? Back to bed, but my back won't let me.
25. What makes you feel peaceful?
Walks or snuggles with my partners; a clean house; this time in the morning when everyone's asleep and I'm just hanging out in the dim and the quiet, all alone.
26. Who did you vote for the first time you voted?
To my shame, Ronald Reagan. I've spent a lifetime atoning.
27. What colour shirt are you wearing?
Green-and-white-striped tank top. I think of it as my Piglet shirt.
28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets?
I do, but if the pillow is also in a satin pillowcase, it keeps slipping out from under my head, so I tend to use a cotton one instead.
29. Can you whistle?
Yep.
30. Favourite colour(s)?
I like red. I like sage green. I don't really think I care enough about colors to have a favorite.
31. Would you be a pirate?
Heh. Nope. I don't even talk like one on September 19th, though I think it's cute when others do. Cute and annoying, but still cute.
32. What songs do you sing in the shower?
Stuff from Suzanne Vega's "Solitude Standing" album; Joni Mitchell songs; Tracy Chapman songs; "Luba, the Baroness"; "Tapestry"
33. Favorite girl's name?
wtfpotatoes. Hey, I can parse that any way I want. :-)
34. Favorite boy's name?
Munchkin The Elder, though he just turned 18, so I may not be allowed to call him a boy much longer.
35. What's in your pocket right now?
I have no pockets!
36. Last thing that made you laugh?
(09:43:30 PM)someotherguy: [we're not getting a dog]
(09:43:51 PM) serenefornow: I know. But I find some solidarity with [wtfpotatoes] in wanting a pet and knowing we can't have one.
(09:44:02 PM) serenefornow: I would love a kitten, but I know it's not gonna happen.
(09:44:08 PM)someotherguy: I told her even a pug would make the house smell like dog
(09:44:12 PM) serenefornow: yep
(09:44:24 PM) serenefornow: same with a kitten, but with kitten smells
(09:44:27 PM)someotherguy: and that it already smelled like too many fat people who eat too many eggs
37. Best bed sheets as a child?
The ones my mother bought for my brothers, to match their really cool beds. I was so jealous.
38. Worst injury you've ever had?
In terms of impressiveness, that would have to be the time I was stabbed. In terms of long-term effects that I'm still dealing with, it would be the defensive thumb wound -- my thumb is still mostly numb.
39. Do you love where you live?
So, so so so so much.
40. How many TVs do you have in your house?
Technically, one, but it's really only used as a DVD player these days. That'll change when the new fall season starts, probably.

42. How many dogs do you have?
None.wtfpotatoes and I are kinda wishing we could have a pug, but it's not gonna happen.
43. Does someone have a crush on you?

I don't have a favorite. I am, however, reading something I'm liking a lot -- Elizabeth Bear's Dust.
46. What is your favourite candy?
Tough choice. Tootsie rolls; Jelly Bellies; toffee.

48. What song do you want played at your funeral?
Don't care. What would *you* like to hear?

I zonked out around 10:30 on the recliner, and I think it was around midnight whensomeotherguy woke me to go to bed.

Date: 2008-08-23 04:00 pm (UTC)Please feel free to ignore this unsolicited suggestion, but if you can manage to bend time and space to free up a few hours a week, I hear that the SF SPCA is a great place to volunteer. Could help to slake the dog yearnings.
