Fifty questions
Taking this meme from Joel.
- When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought? Darn. I look run down from that cold.
- How much cash do you have on you? One dollar.
- What’s a word that rhymes with “DOOR?” Four.
- Favorite planet? Saturn. The rings are pretty.
- Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone? Restricted. Usually that means it’s my mother-in-law.
- What is your favorite ring tone on your phone? When the Saints Come Marching In. Someone sing that song at my funeral.
- Do you “label” yourself? Yes, but the label varies with the situation.
- What shirt are you wearing? White long sleeve, with snaps and two pockets.
- Name the brand of the shoes you’re currently wearing? None. I’m in socks.
- Bright or dark room? Bright, since Joel turned on the lights to read the brand name on his shoes.
- What do you think about the person who took this survey before you. I love him dearly and want to spend the rest of my life with him.
- What does your watch look like? Like Joel, I use a cell phone instead of a watch.
- What were you doing at midnight last night? Sleeping. Given that I have a cold, I’ve been sleeping as much as possible.
- What did your last text message you received on your cell say? It told me that my cell phone bill had been automatically paid by my credit card.
- Where is your nearest 7-11? I have no idea, but it’s got to be the same as the nearest 7-11 to Joel, so I’ll just reference his answer.
- What’s a word that you say a lot? Email.
- Who told you he/she loved you last? My husband.
- Last furry thing you touched? Boadicea, who has been curling up next to me when I try to sleep off my cold.
- How many drugs have you done in the last three days? More than usual, but they’re all OTC cold medicines. Unless you count chocolate.
- How many rolls of film do you need developed? None.
- Favorite age you have been so far? I have no idea.
- Your worst enemy? I’ll pass on this one.
- What is your current desktop picture? A picture of some white alders in Holy Jim Canyon. Joel and I share a PC, so it’s the same as his.
- What was the last thing you said to someone? Told my husband it was sweet that he said he still had a crush on me.
- If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly what would it be? I think I’d be greedy and take the million bucks. Though flying would not be bad either.
- Do you like someone? ? Like, have a crush on someone? Only on the silver screen. And, of course, my husband.
- The last song you listened to? The Temptations singing Christmas carols. I try to get in as many Christmas carols as possible between Christmas and Epiphany.
- What time of day were you born? I have no idea. I suppose I could dig up my birth certificate and find out, but that’s too much trouble.
- What’s your favorite number? I don’t really have a favorite number.
- Where did you live in 1987? Same as Joel, Menlo Park, California
- Are you jealous of anyone? Not at this time.
- Is anyone jealous of you? Possibly.
- Where were you when 9/11 happened? At work discovering that the network was unresponsive. When I went to talk to our IT person, he told me about 9/11.
- What do you do when vending machines steal your money? I rarely use vending machines.
- This question is missing from my list.
- If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be? Same as Joel, a henna tattoo on my arm.
- If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be? Depends whether I’m supposed to study for fluency or get to wave a magic wand. If I’m supposed to study, I’d pick the language I’m closest to fluent in already, which is German. If I get to wave a magic wand, I’d pick Greek, since it would be easier to talk to some of my relatives that way.
- Would you move for the person you loved? As Joel says, it would more likely be him moving for me, but I’d also move for him if we needed to.
- Are you touchy feely? Only with Joel, really.
- What’s your life motto? I’d like to say it’s “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” I don’t know, though, that my life will bear that claim out.
- Name three things that you have on you at all times? Only my wedding ring really qualifies. I often also have my keys and my cell phone, though.
- What’s your favorite town/city? I’ll go with Sorrento, Maine.
- What was the last thing you paid for with cash? I can’t remember. I give Joel all the cash.
- When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it? Last month, to my oldest niece.
- Can you change the oil on a car? Joel showed me how, on our old Toyota. It’s been years, though, and we now have completely different cars, so I might need a refresher.
- Your first love: what is the last thing you heard about him/her? That would depend heavily on who I call my first love. Either way, probably my last information came from vanity searching Google.
- How far back do you know about your ancestry? Well, one line has a genealogy that goes back to 1066, when Sir Hugh de Malbisse allegedly came to England with William the Conqueror. I can’t promise, though, that the part of the genealogy that’s in England has been vetted for accuracy.
- The last time you dressed fancy, what did you wear and why did you dress fancy? This November, for my grandmother’s hundredth birthday.
- Does anything hurt on your body right now? Yes, all the time. Especially, right now, my left arch.
- Have you been burned by love? Yes, of course.
