sereneSurvey snagged from firecat, along with some of her answers. I'm waiting for the meds to kick in. I turned 22 pounds of fresh tomatoes into mountains of lovely stuff, and I feel mighty for having done it, but now I'm completely wrung out.
Name: Serene
AGE: 44
BIRTHDATE: Don't you love how they pepper these things with security questions? I mean, it's easy enough to find out, but I still think it's amusing.
WHAT WAS YOUR:
1. last beverage = Just finished an iced coffee made with most of a glass of whole milk and a small amount of cold-brewed extra-strong espresso
2. last phone call = Probably my mom -- she's basically the only person I talk to on the phone.

6. dated someone twice = Really?
7. been cheated on = I don't think so
8. kissed someone & regretted it = Yep.

Date: 2011-08-29 02:06 pm (UTC)I'm not sure what the "Really?" means here. If I'm interpreting the question here correctly (i.e. that it's asking if you've been dating someone, broken up with them, and then gotten back together with them thereafter), then I think that that's something you could easily find lots of people on both sides of. I've never done that, for example, but I know lots of people who have.
