My hair, I think.

My only hoodie is light gray. I didn't think I'd like it, but I love it.

3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
Every. Chance. I. Get.

4. Do you plan outfits?
Not as a rule, no, but I have been known to do so. Most of my clothes are mix-and-match.

5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
I had a sudden onset of terrible-head-cold (probably caught it on the plane), so I'm all sniffly and coughy and yucky, but my mood is just fine.

6. What’s the closest thing to you that's red?
Netflix envelope.

7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having?

Nope.

9. What are you craving right now?
I'm actually not craving anything.

10. Do you floss?
Not as often as I should.

11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
Corned beef and.

12. Are you emotional?
Often I am.

13. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
Probably. I had little kids, and little kids are not easily bored by repetition.

14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
Depends on my mood.

15. Do you like your hair?
I do!

16. Do you like yourself?
More and more every day.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Nope

Oh, sure. I like sparkly things.

25. How many countries have you visited?
Four? Five? Hmm. The US, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Morocco, Japan. So six.

26. Have you made a prank phone call?
Nope.

27. Ever been on a train?
Not what I would consider a "real" train, but yes, commuter trains, the BART, etc.

28. Brown or white eggs?
I don't believe there's any difference.

29.Do you have a cell-phone?
I have two, but they're not really mine. People bought them for me for business reasons.

Nope, nor anything

31. Do you own a gun?
Nope, nor anything like it.

32. Can you use chop sticks?
Yep.

wild_irises for a while, and then my family.

34. Are you too forgiving?
I don't believe so. I'm fairly forgiving, but I haven't yet been burned by that habit, so I'm going to say no.

35. Ever been in love?
Yes!

36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
You'd have to ask them.

Sure.

I got a little weepy watching the video in #18

39. What was the last question you asked?
"Sweetie, what was the last question I asked you?" ;-)

40. Favourite time of the year?
I'm one of those obnoxiously lucky people who genuinely enjoy whatever season it happens to be.

41. Do you have any tattoos?
Nope.

42. Are you sarcastic?
Although the question simply begs a smartass comment, I'm actually going to give a straight answer: I do use sarcasm, but not, I believe, to excess.

No. I don't think I've even

It varies, but more often than not, it's red.

Hmmm. I think it was a dollar copy of "Pop Pop" by Rickie Lee Jones.

49. Do looks matter?
Sure.

50. Could you ever forgive a cheater?
Yes, but that doesn't mean I'd risk trusting them again.

51. Is your phone bill sky high?
No, but it's pretty high, because I have to have unlimited long distance or my mother and I would die of anxiety. :-)

52. Do you like your life right now?
I do!

53. Do you sleep with the TV on?
No. Nor the radio. I prefer to sleep in silence.

54. Can you handle the truth?
About what?

55. Do you have good vision?
Yep, but some day, it's likely to just go away, because I have a rare form of macular degeneration that could switch at any time from the "dry" kind to the "wet" kind and leave me blinded.

The Decadent Brunch, alt.polycon 13(?), San Diego.

62. Can you hula hoop?
I was able to at one time. I haven't tried recently with a hoop big enough. I can't with the hoop I have, because it's not big enough.

63. Do you have a job?
I do! I have more jobs than I want to have, but that's not really a complaint.

I stopped on the way home at Whole Foods and bought a pork roast, some red potatoes, and an onion.

I have indeed, although it's been a long time.

"I was working in a restaurant, and I couldn't work fast enough to keep up with everything. Classic anxiety dream."

Given how many video games there are with that exact theme (zillions), I wonder if playing them would make that particular expression of anxiety go away.

I didn't know that. Never even heard of the condition. Learn something everyday.

I think when I've talked to you about it, it's been to talk about these weird crystals in my eyes that made the eye doctor ask me several times if I'm sure I don't do drugs. The weird crystals are a sign of macular degeneration, and usually only happen in heavy drug users, but even then, the pattern of them in my eyes is really rare, and eye doctors always call other eye doctors in to see them. I have to monitor changes in my vision with an Amsler grid, which looks like this:

Oh yeah, I'm just being a bonehead. I didn't connect it up somehow.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Nah, not a bonehead. I'm not sure I've ever really talked about it in detail. I found out about it around the same time I found out about the tumor, so it went right to the back burner of my brain.

How does the grid work? All I see is a grid with a dot in the middle.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

I'm to note any distortions in the lines (waviness, etc.). There's a little description here: http://www.stlukeseye.com/EyeQ/amsler.asp and here are some examples of what I might see if my vision suddenly starts to go:

Oh, that's really clever! I hope it's a bloody long time before anything happens.
