sereneI'm really tired, but I just put a casserole in the oven (don't ask me why; my brain isn't working right), so I'm up for a while. I shall spare you from having to read the nonsense I post tonight by using a liberal amount of cut tags.
61 Things You Possibly Didn’t Know About Me

Two fluorescent light bulbs. A box of napkins. A box of baby wipes. An umbrella.
2. When was the last time you threw up?
At the hospital after my latest surgery. Yuck.

Trying to sleep.
6. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Puttering in the kitchen, probably.
7. Where were you born?
In Connecticut.
8. Have you ever been to a strip club?
Nope. I don't really see the appeal.
9. What is the last thing you said aloud?
"That's okay; lots of artists were misunderstood and unappreciated in their lifetimes." (This was in response towtfpotatoes's mock dismay at my less than appreciative reaction to her artwork, which featured the nuclear annihilation of the world and Mr. Hanky pooping on it.)
10. What is the best ice cream flavor?
My favorites are sweet cream, coffee, and mango, but I like a lot of ice cream flavors.
11. What was the last thing you had to drink?
Well, I didn't HAVE to drink it, but it was grape juice. :-)
12. What are you wearing right now?
Long black skirt, "yummy" t-shirt, Birkenstocks, gray zippered hoody
13. What was the last thing you ate?
I'm currently eating some of the unsalted nuts that are supposed to be for the LID.
14. Have you bought any new clothing items this week?
Yep. At Costco, I gotsomeotherguy a pair of jeans, and myself a pair of bike pants to wear as leggings.
15. Where were you last?
That's a weirdly phrased question. Today, I went on an erranding trip that included coffee withstonebender, a stop at the zoning office, a stop at the revenue office, lunch with stonebender, coffee with someotherguy, and a short walk home from there.
16. What's the last sporting event you watched?
I honestly have no idea. I don't watch much in the way of sports, but if I did, it would be baseball, which is really the only sport I have any interest in.
17. Who won?
See above.
18. Who is the last person you sent a comment/message on myspace?
Nobody. I don't use MySpace.

20. Where do you live?
Oakland, California. I love it here.
21. What song are you listening to?
I'm not listening to music right now. I can hear strains of something coming from the teenager's headphones, but I can't identify it.

24. Do you drink your soda with a straw?
Sometimes.
25. What did your last text message say?
"a. dore. you."
26. Who's your best friend?
I don't feel comfortable ranking my friends. I used to say I had a best friend, and then I said I had many best friends, but really, the closeness and best-friend-ness I have with people is more fluid than that, and trying to... Well, never mind. I could've just said "N/A" here, couldn't I? :-)
27. What are you doing tomorrow?
Sex, bank, editing, resting, cleaning the kitchen. Not necessarily in that order.
28. Where is your mom right now?
San Diego. 500 miles too far from me.

Art and my rejection-/acceptance-letter wall.

I don't own a watch.
31. What do you think of when you think of Australia?

Sure, and I was surprised to read thatmicheinnz hadn't.
33. What is your birthstone?
Sapphire.
34. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive through?
Depends on the line at the drive-through (and, of course, on whether or not I'm even driving).
35. What is your favorite number?
13
36. Do you have a dog?
Nope, but my partner does. She's a cute doberman puppy.

someotherguy
38. Have you met anyone famous?
For some values of "met" and "famous", yes.
39. Any plans today?
It's nearly the end of the day. Vegging out online and then taking the casserole out of the oven -- after that, bed.
40. How many states have you lived in?
I think it was 6 last time I counted. Let me see: Connecticut, Hawaii, Washington, Pennsylvania, New York, California. Yep, six.

Yeah, but only junior college and National University (which is basically a college-level diploma mill).
42. Where are you right now?
Sitting at my computer in the main room.
43. Biggest annoyance in your life right now?
That's classified, Citizen.
44. Last song listened to?
Didn't you just ask that?
45. Are you in love with someone right now?
Yep. :)
46. Are you allergic to anything?
Vicodin. Other than that, I have some sensitivities to food and scented things, but nothing, I don't think, that qualifies as a true allergy, and nothing people need to worry themselves about.

My Birkenstocks.

Sometimes.
49. Is anyone jealous of you?
If they are, they haven't told me.
51. Do you love anyone?
I love lots and lots of people.
52. Do any of your friends have children?
Some of them, yeah.

Eat healthy what? If you mean "eat healthily", then yeah, for the most part, although there's room for improvement.
54. What do you usually do during the day?
Go to work at Cal, come home and do domestic things, spend LOTS of time on the computer, either on LJ/Usenet/listservs, or working on the magazine. (subscribe! subscribe! subscribe!)
55. Do you hate anyone right now?
Yes, but not with any kind of ferocity. It doesn't keep me up nights or anything. I just revile the person and all the person stands for and all the person does to make the people I love miserable.
56. Do you use the word 'hello' daily?
Fucked if I know.
