mactavish and be a spoilsport and do the "getting to know you" meme here instead of over and over again in everyone else's journals....
For a change, this one's all about YOU. I'd love it if you filled it in, and posted it as a comment. There are lots of people on my friends list I still don't know a lot about, and I'd like to!
1. Can you cook?
I don't think of myself as a cook, but I can generally follow a recipe well enough.
2. What was your dream growing up?
Being an author was my longest lasting ambition (I'd still like to do that, but not enough to actually, you know, do it). In elementary school I wanted to be an archaeologist, too (like my aunt), but didn't have any good conception of what an archaeologist actually did. During my dolphin phase, I wanted to be a marine biologist.
3. What talent do you wish you had?
I'd like to be more coordinated.
4. Favorite place?
The Pacific coast. Yeah, the whole thing. From the Mexican border to the Canadian border, anyways.
5. Favorite vegetable?
Varies
6. What was the last book you read?
Um... I think Sixty Days and Counting by Kim Stanley Robinson was the last I finished, but that seems like it was a long time ago, so I may have read something less memorable since. Or maybe not.
7. What zodiac sign are you ?
Leo
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
Just one hole in each ear. I sometimes think about doing more ear piercings, but I never really do much with the ones I have, so I'm not entirely sure what the point would be.
9. Worst Habit?
Procrastination
10. Do we know each other outside of lj?
Depends who you are.
11. What is your favorite sport?
Martial arts or soccer
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I try for optimistic, and generally succeed these days.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Depends who you are.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Waking up and discovering Leif wasn't there (he sleepwalked away or something in the middle of the night and was picked up by the police).
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
My thumbs are double jointed. In 9th grade biology class, we were talking about how only mutants can bend their thumbs backwards. The person sitting next to me and I both tried it, and had no trouble, and decided it was a bunch of hooey. Then we noticed the rest of the class was staring at us. Apparently we were both mutants.
It's less flexible now - I used to be able to bend it backwards and touch my wrist, but now it only reaches about halfway.
16. Do you have any pets?
I live with cats, but they aren't mine.
17. Do you know how to do the macarena?
Not off the top of my head, but I've done it in the past.
18. What time is it where you are now?
11:17PM
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Depends on the clown.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Um... permanently get rid of all unwanted hair.
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Depends on the crime, but probably reluctant and vaguely conscience-like partner. Kind of like Hermione.
22. What color eyes do you have?
Hazelish
23. Ever been arrested?
No
24. Bottle or Draft?
Neither
25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it?
Pay off debt. Buy a new wardrobe (at thrift stores! We're talking $100 or so here. Maybe up to $300 if I get nice nursing bras and a new gi). Pay the remainder that I need to pay for a new laptop. Pay for activities for the kids (well, Leif at least). Get an Ergo carrier (can sell it for near full cost if they aren't all that they're said to be). Give some amount tokoyote to spend as he wants. Put the rest in savings.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
None.
27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?
Don't have one.
28. Do you believe in ghosts?
I don't disbelieve in them.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Depends on my mood and what you mean by "spare time".
30. Do you swear a lot?
Not a ton, but I do from time to time.
31. Biggest pet peeve?
Questions that ask me to choose a favorite. It's rare I actually have one.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Idon'tknow!
33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Dur.
Do it here, or in your own journal, or not at all. Doesn't matter to me :)
