A survey made up of lists?

Five details about you...

1. I should be working right now.
2. I am wearing closed-toed shoes, because I have to, and I'm mildly annoyed by them.
3. I just saw Fawlty Towers for the first time yesterday. (Thanks, stonebender!)
4. I really like how clean my teeth feel right now.
5. I am in a really peaceful place right now (minus the minor irritation of the shoe thing).

Five details about your appearance right now...

1. I have a cut on my thumb (from removing an industrial-sized staple yesterday).
2. My hair is in a massive ponytail on top of my head.
3. I am wearing tight-ish black slacks and a rose sweater.
4. My skin is a little dry today.
5. I keep smiling to myself -- I can't see this, but my co-irkers have commented on it.

Five things you did today

Gosh, it's 6:27 am, so not much:
1. Took my Pill because I forgot to take it yesterday
2. Found my work shoes, which I couldn't find yesterday
3. Wrote to my loves
4. Checked my email
5. Went to work

Five things that everyone should know about you...

Heh. On my userinfo, there's a poem with way more than five things, but um, okay:
1. I sometimes say things that I don't end up agreeing with, because I tend to think things out by talking them out.
2. I am a flake, who loses things and thoughts with regularity.
3. I seldom have a strong preference about things, so when I say "whatever," I'm not being passive-aggressive.
4. I have never promised monogamy, and I doubt I ever will.
5. I need lots of alone-time, and get a little snakey when I don't get it.

I seldom have a strong preference about things, so when I say "whatever," I'm not being passive-aggressive.

This is SO me. Would we end up doing nothing if we spent more time together?

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

No, because we both have a passion for Thai food and bookstores, and that could keep us occupied for *months*. :-)

mmmMMMMmmmm. Thai food. That is what I'm trying to convice the girls to have for dinner tonight before Dar. Better do it tonight with Girl B cause I'm most likely getting beer and pizza tomorrow with Girl A.

Haven't had Thai since I've been back from Bangkok.

Well, there ya go. :-) I would -- well, not *kill*, but do something bad right now for a good bowl of Tom Khar.

We really need to do a YASBP.Vegas.

I suspect my Vegas tour would be perfectly targetted to you.

Five good used bookstores, one utterly fantastic, droolworthy, must-constantly-recommend-to-my-friends Thai restaurant.

You cruel, cruel bastard.

Yes, let's do it. When's a good time of year to visit Vegas?

You cruel, cruel bastard.

I live to serve.

Yes, let's do it. When's a good time of year to visit Vegas?

Um. When it's cheapest? Which is midweek at a bunch of odd times. Midsummer (late june / early july) seems to be looking not bad right now.

Wanna do it the weekend after July 4th, so that the tourists have gone home? (Not that we're not tourists, of course, and you don't have to decide now, but it'd be fun, I think, if we figgered something out.)
