I stole some of her answers, too.
1. Is there someone in your life you know you'd be better off without?
Counting "in my life" as people I interact with regularly—no. Wow, how fortunate I am.
2. Do you get criticized because of your body?
To my face, hardly ever (see #1). When it happens it's mostly doctors. But as a fat middle-aged woman, I come across a lot of critical messages about bodies like mine.
3. Did you kiss the last person you called?
The last person I called on my cellphone was
james_huber, so yes.
4. When was the last time you danced?
Hmm. I bop around sometimes, but dancing like going out to dance? Maybe three or four years ago, with a couple of friends. I don't enjoy dancing.
5. Do you keep in mind other people's feelings?
I put a fair bit of effort into that, yeah.
6. If you have a hang nail, do you pull it or clip it?
I try to bite it and if that doesn't work I clip it.
7. Who do you want to forget?
I'd rather not say.
8. Who was the last person to send you a letter?
piglet, I think. Or maybe
ailbhe. My friends are MUCH better correspondents than I am.
9. Who did you last tell to shut up?
My kid, but it was in a joking way, and she wasn't upset about it.
10. What's the last thing that you smelt that smelt bad?
james_huber's fish snacks. Ewww.
11. What's your favorite cereal?
I like most of the not-overly-sweet kinds: corn flakes, shredded wheat, rice krispies, grape nuts...
12. How do you feel when people lead you on, but they don't even like you?
I have a well developed bullshit detector so I can usually tell when this is happening, and I don't like it. But it doesn't happen very often because strangers usually don't see me as a person who has something they want. It most often happens in sales transactions.
13. Could you live without sunlight?
No one could. But if the implied question is "do you like it when it's not sunny outside?", then YES.
14. What's something you know is bad, but you want to do it anyway?
This is another thing I'd rather not talk about in public.
15. What was the last thing you lied about?
Yeah, like I'm going to tell you that.
16. Do you regret anything you've done in the past week?
Yes, but it's something I didn't do as well as I could have at work, so while I feel bad about it, it's not going to keep me up nights.
17. What was the last movie you bought?
Hmmmm. Oh! Yes. Bull Durham.
18. What is a sport you would like to do?
I'd love to play not-too-competitive baseball. I love the game, but I have no idea if I'd be any good.
19. When was the last time you felt like crying?
About an hour ago. I was telling
james_huber how much I love our low-drama relationship, and he joked, "Do you miss the drama, baby?" (referring to my previous marriage), and I got weepy. I SO don't miss the drama.
20. Have you ever wanted to kill someone (not that you actually do it)?
Yes.
