Busier day than I thought it would be, but relatively easy. Worked 8-2, did laundry (which, believe it or not, is a fun task around here), then took [livejournal.com profile] sogwife to the doctor, which was a lot less hassle than it could've been (she's fine). So now I'm sitting drinking chocolate milk and goofing off before putting away the laundry, and what's more goofy than a silly survey?



1. Elaborate on your default icon.

[livejournal.com profile] lcohen took it at apc13 in San Diego last October, and I really love it. I don't love my hair that way, but I think the look of "Ooh!" on my face captures me pretty well.

2. What's your current relationship status?

Happy. :-) (I've been with [livejournal.com profile] stonebender, [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy, and [livejournal.com profile] sogwife for about three and a half years, and I plan on keeping them around if they'll stand for it.)

3. Ever have a near-death experience?

Yep.

4. Name an obvious quality you have?

I'm large.

5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?

"We built this city on rock and roll"

6. Any celeb you would marry?

Not unless I got to know and love them first.

7. Who will cut and paste this first?

I neither know nor really care.

8. Name someone with the same birthday as you:

Sophia Loren

9. Do you have a crush on someone?

Nope, but they come and go for me.

10. Have you ever vandalized someone's private property?

Hm. I don't think so.

11. Have you ever been in a fight?

Not with anyone other than siblings.

12. Have you ever sung in front of a large audience?

Yes, lots.

13. What's the first thing you notice about people of the OPPOSITE sex?

First thing? Probably whichever physical attribute is most obvious -- say if they have flaming red hair.

14. What do you usually order from Starbucks?

I have never bought anything from Starbucks, but I placed an order on [livejournal.com profile] stonebender's behalf once, and I'll bet it was a hazelnut latte, no foam.

15. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?

I took some pills when I was 13 in a half-assed suicide attempt.

16. Say something totally random about yourself.

For the past month or so, I've gotten calf cramps every night so badly it awakens me.

17. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

Yes, Kathy Najimy.

18. Do you wear a watch? What kind?

Nope.

19. Do you have anything pierced?

Ears.

20. Do you have any tattoos?

Nope.

21. Do you like pain?

Not as a rule.

22. Do you like to shop?

Depends. Food shopping (either alone or with someone else who likes it) is fun for me. Other shopping depends on my mood. Shoe shopping is like having teeth pulled without anesthesia.

23. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?

Bus fare this morning.

24. What was the last thing you paid for with a credit card?

It's a debit card, but this afternoon's groceries (avocados, tomatoes, peaches, apricots, some candy for [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy, and an orange)

25. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?

[livejournal.com profile] loracs

26. What is on your desktop background?

The default cloudy-sky Microsoft background.

27. What is the background on your cell phone?

I haven't got a cellphone.

28. Do you like redheads?

Some. Some I don't. I like personalities, not hair colors.

29. Do you know any twins?

Yeah, including my cousins, my uncles, and several surviving half-pairs of twins, including my sibling.

30. Do you have any weird relatives?

So. Beyond. Weird.

31. What was the last movie you watched?

The extended version of Fellowship of the Ring

32. What was the last book you read?

I just gave up on The Gate to Women's Country. Don't know what will be next.

33. Did you or are you planning to go to college?

Been there, would love to go back. Might one day.

34. What is your favorite pair of pants that you own?

My black velvet palazzo pants. Used to have two pairs, but wore one out.

35. Do you like to party?

Nope.

36. Where do you see yourself in five years?

Right here in North Oakland, tending my family and my garden, and being happy.

*nod* That's what [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy thinks. I tried eating bananas and avocados (potassium), but it didn't help. As soon as I find medical benefits, I'll go get some tests done. Meanwhile, trying to make sure I eat a large variety of healthy stuff.
