White with green flower stem borders and flowers... they're from Walmart.
2. What book(s) are you reading now?
I'm in the middle of Lord of the Rings: the fellowship of the ring but haven't read any of it in weeks. Do text books count? If so, I'm reading several usability books on international interfaces.
3. What's on your mouse pad?
The DELL logo.
4. Favorite Board Game?
I like Outburst... I like Trivial Pursuit... I like Catch Phrase... I like clue... I like pretty much anything Harry Potter or trivia related... I don't know that I have a favorite exactly... Board games are either REALLY enjoyable or fill me with TREMENDOUS fear depending on my mood so it's hard to choose.
5. Favorite Magazine?
Highlander
6. Favorite smell(s)?
Mmmm Vanillia. Oh, and raspberry... and orange... anything fruity, really. And I like cigar smoke (thanks to my grandfather, lol)
7. Least favorite smell(s)?
Cigarette smoke, grass, garbage, it all goes downhill from there...
8. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
'There's a cat sprawled out on my tummy. How do I get up?'
9. Favorite Colors:
Blue, then greens and blacks and purples
10. Least favorite color(s):
mustard yellow, and that really icky shade of olive green that is hard to describe but really ugly
11. How many rings before you answer the phone?
At least two, though I usually let the machine get it
12. Future child's name?
Dimitry or Dmitry or Dmitri or Dimitrius or some variation if it's a boy. But I don't want a boy. I wouldn't mind having a girl, but I dunno what I'd call her. I'd adopt though, I don't actually want to have a kid!
13. What is most important in life?
Living.
14. Of all the possible circles of Hell, which are you most likely to be
I don't know what those are. I've never killed anyone... but I run a 'porn' site and I've hurt a lot of people emotionally. But I do volunteer work. LOL. Where do they put people like that? I dunno. I don't actually believe in Hell so I don't know much about it.
15. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Vanilla, hands down
16. Do you like to drive fast?
HATE to drive, especially fast. I avoid all the major highways and parkways and bypasses at every chance and spend twice the time getting there on the back roads.
17. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
There are some on my bed, does that count?
18. Storms - cool or scary?
Relaxing and magical.
19. What was your first car?
A minivan my parents are lending me. I want my real first car to be an Element. I love those :-)
20. If you could meet one person dead or alive, who would it be?
I don't know. I'm not any good at meeting people. I'd mess it all up and then feel badly about chossing that amazing person to seem stupid to. So it'd have to be someone I wouldn't go insane over meeting but still want to meet and I can't think of anyone like that right off hand. :-(
21. Favorite alcoholic drink?
I hate alcohol. If I have to drink something, I go for hard lemonade, but I don't like the alcohol portion of it. I'd much rather have regular lemonade. lol
22. What is your sign and your birthday?
I am right on the border- April 19th (when all the bad stuff happens like the Waco storming and the OK city bombing, etc). So I call myself a Taurus rather than an Aries because I fit it much better and I'm only a day away from actually being one.
23. Do you eat the stems of broccoli?
Of course! Yummy veggies!
24. If you could have any job, what would it be?
I dunno... novellist I guess, but that's assuming talent comes with the job? :-) Does professional nap-taker count as a job?
25. If you could have any hair color, what would it be?
Hard to see myself in anything but this... so I guess a slightly lighter blonde?
26. Have you ever been in love?
Yes
27. Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
Half empty, until it all evaporates from waiting for this debate to be over and then we have nothing to drink and we all die of thirst
29. Do you type with your fingers on the right keys?
Most of the time *G*
31. What is your favorite number(s)?
I can't tell you, it's my PIN number. LOL My second favorite is 592 (Duncan MacLeod was born in 1592 and the police car car in second season episode 'Run for Your Life' was 592) My third favorite is 7.
32. Favorite sport to watch?
HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOHOO!!!
33. What is your single biggest fear?
Not being able to breathe
34. Favorite song?
I've got WAY too many favorites... I go through phases. I usually say Steve MacDonald's 'Come to the Isle of Skye' but really, it's a hard question to answer at any given time.
36. Ketchup or mustard?
Ketchup if I have to pick... usually neither. I hate mustard. I don't like adding things to things... if they were supposed to be together, they should have come that way. I like to enjoy food in its original form.
37. Hamburgers or Hot Dogs?
I'm a vegetarian, so as long as they're fake, I'd go for cheeseburgers... though I really like veggie chicken patties... mmm... I'm kind of sick of fake hot dogs.
38. Favorite Soft Drink?
I try not to drink anything carbinated. So I usually have to get iced teas from vending machines. I'd much rather have juice than anything else to drink. And I hate coke... Pepsi's much better, though I don't drink it any more.
39. The best places you have ever been?
Scotland... and Ireland... and California... though everything's relative. I enjoyed the beauty and woods of Vermont and Connecticut. I enjoyed the world's second largest ball of twine in Iowa. I enjoyed the mountains of Virginia and Colorado, oh, and Yosemitie and other nearby parks (like Zion). It's hard to pick. But I think I like my home the best out of everything else in the world I've ever seen.
40. What screen saver is on your computer right now?
John William Waterhouse pictures
41. Burger King or McDonalds?
Neither. McDonalds has much too cruel policies regarding the animals they use for food *shudder* So I don't want to give them ANY money. And there's really nothing I can eat at either. I've had the veggie burger at BK's and it's ok, and their onion rings are ok... but I don't really like their stuff that much. I eat at Wendy's, though... good potatoes and salads.
42. Do you know someone right now that you could fall in love with?
Nope
43. What did you do yesterday?
Read the aforementioned textbooks, went to sleep around 5:30, woke up at 8, ate breakfast, said goodbye to people, came home from the sleepover, cried, showered, cried, went to two meetings and tried to stay awake, came home, cried, went to the elementary school to see my girls for the last time, came home, cried, went to dinner, came home, had sex, napped all evening, woke up, snacked, watched some QAF eps and Stargate eps, went back to sleep, ate some more, then went back to sleep for the night
44. What's your favorite food?
Hrm... I don't really know. Right now, Lemon bars *G* heehee
45. Where do you see yourself in twenty years?
I can't. I don't know what I'm doing in 3 months, let alone 3 years. Kinda feels like my life is going to end in August, so there's not much point in my looking any further.
46. If you had the choice of any superhero power to possess, what would it be?
To change/control the passage of time. Oooohhh, or to make people more tolerant with a special tolerance ray gun or something LOL. *sings Stephen Lynch's 'If I could be a Super hero' song*
48. Who is your favorite classical composer?
Geez... I'm not really a classical music fan... I need lyrics- I'm a writer. Got to have a narrative. Which is why I'm not a fan of pointless techno songs either. So, uh, maybe anything from Fantasia so I can imagine those plot lines with the music. Hrm... Moonlight Sonata is good, they played that in a third season episode of Highlander...
Ah, that was a fun way to procrastinate. LOL! Off to my dreaded paper now... *sigh*
