sereneSurveys are apparently all I have the energy for right now (standard Serene-had-social-fun-and-will-now-crash-for-a-while thing). I just did one on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fat_sex, and here's one I gakked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
surelars:
1. What is your occupation? Editor, writer, homemaker, temp
2. What color are your socks right now? Not wearing any
3. What are you listening to right now? Nothing beyond background noise and my own typing
4. What was the last thing you ate? A bowl of tamale pie
5. Can you drive a stick shift? Sure
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Unapologetically red
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone?sogwife
8. Do you like the person who sent this to/tagged you? I like the person I nicked this from a lot
9. How old are you today? 40 and a couple months
10. Favorite drink? Water
11. What is your favorite sport to watch? baseball
12. Have you ever dyed your hair? Yep
13. Pets? Not now, but I grew up with them and have had many many cats (and dogs as a child, but I'm not really a dog person in general)
14. Favorite food? (I love Lars's answer, so I'm stealing it) Something I haven't tried before.
15. What was the last movie you watched? Oh, god. Frankenstein Conquers the World (dubbed, not subtitled)
16. Favorite day of the year? I don't do well picking favorites
17. What do you do to vent anger? Rant to one of my partners. Rant to one of my friends. I guess I rant. And now that I'm thinking about it, I also tend to try to identify what I might do to make the angry-making situation better, and I try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I didn't really realize until just now, though, that that's part of my process. I often will be ranting to PersonA about PersonB, and by the end of the rant, I'm thinking of ways to help PersonB with stuff.
18. What was your favorite toy as a child? I had a few. My Ursula doll, who was one of those dolls with a knob on her head so you could change her facial expression. My Mrs. Beasley doll. And my Shape-O toy.
19. What is your favorite: fall or spring? Both are nice
20. Hugs or kisses? Depends on from whom
21. Cherries or blueberries? Cherries
22. Do you want your friends to email you back? Sure, if they like to
23. Who is most likely to respond/do this meme? No idea, and don't care
24. Who is least likely to respond? No idea, and don't care
25. Living arrangements? Live withsomeotherguy and sogwife, but sogwife just found a place to move to, so she'll be living a few miles away come this weekend.
26. When was the last time you cried? This morning, but they were happy/schmoopy tears, not sad ones
27. What is on the floor of your closet? basket of mending, basket of clothes to give away (forgot to give you the sweater,wild_irises, a few random things
28. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending this to/tagging? I don't do that, but the friend I've had the longest who's on LJ? Hmm. Let me go look. I have a guess, but I may be wrong.mommaduck doesn't count because she's not actually on LJ, so it'll have to be misanthropoid.
29. What did you do last night? Went toloracs's Christmas open house, drove stonebender to and from the movies and had coffee with him, got a lovely kiss from clever_doberman, went home, crashed.
20. Favourite smells? Bread baking. Vanilla. Babies' heads. And when I get a small sniff of Polo, I think of my first "boyfriend" (a larger sniff of any scent, and I just get sick.)
21. What inspires you? Knowing I have a limited time on this earth to do some good. People who do good in the face of adversity (Harriet Tubman was an early one; there have been many many more in my life.)
22. What are you afraid of? The void beyond death. Being alone in the dark. Harm befalling the munchkins. None of these fears paralyzes me, but they're there, and I acknowledge them.
23. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers? No cheese on meat! I like my hamburgers with mayo, tomato, and lettuce. Onion is nice, but optional, and other condiments are acceptable, so long as there's not too much ketchup.
24. Favourite dog breed? None, butstonebender's dog is a sweet sweet sweetheart!
25. Number of keys on your key ring? Probably around ten, but I'm too tired to get up and find out.
26. Number of years at your current job? Heh. Hard question to answer. I've been at my temp gig for three hours so far. I've been doing copyediting work since 1999. I've been a homemaker since 1994.
27. Favourite day of the week? Every day
28. How many states have you lived in? Hmm. Let's see. Connecticut, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, New York, Washington, California. I *think* that's it.
29. Favourite holidays? I don't care much about holidays, but Halloween and Christmas are fun for me.
30. Ever driven a motorcycle or heavy machinery? Nope.
