01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? -- Nope.
02) What was your dream growing up? -- Like, as a career? Singing.
03) What talent do you wish you had? -- The ability to create. I am void of original artistic thought, nevermind ability.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be? -- Double whiskey and Coke, preferably a bourbon.
05) Favorite vegetable? -- broccoli
06) What was the last book you read? -- Tiffany Twisted
07) What zodiac sign are you? -- Capricorn (and the Boar, if you're wondering about the Chinese zodiac)
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. -- Not yet...
09) Worst Habit? -- Chewing ice.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? -- In all honesty, I tend not to see anything while I'm driving but the car immediately in front of me and the lines I'm supposed to stay between. I zone out when I drive, sorry!
11) What is your favorite sport? -- to play, volleyball; to watch, soccer or baseball.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? -- Realistic attitude with a benefit-of-the-doubt filter.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? -- Smile politely, but not meet your eyes and just kinda fidget. If we're in there more than a few minutes, then I'm gonna make small talk to ease my own tension.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? -- An emotionally stunted childhood.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. -- I can thread my toes together like you would your fingers.
16) Do you have any pets? -- Nope, though I claim auntie status with the sister's dog.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly? -- I'd ask you to excuse the unwashed dishes, because I'm a lazy bum.
18) What was your first impression of me? -- You are from a perspective totally unlike my own --a *smarter* one-- and that's got me interested all the time.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? -- Clowns are mostly obnoxiously fake in that cheap synthetic way a lot of stuff at carnivals are nowadays, but if they're the older kind? I'm mildly disturbed and would like to get them out of my sight ASAP.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? -- I'd have never gained all the weight I put on in the past decade.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? -- Sadly, your conscience. I'm only 10% hooligan.
22) What color eyes do you have? -- Dark brown
23) Ever been arrested? -- Nope; only had a cop try to scare me straight.
24) Bottle or can soda? -- 20 oz bottle
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? -- Pay off my car, pay off a credit card. I think I'd kill that whole windfall before I finish those two things.
27) What's your favorite place to hang out at? -- A pub nearby. It's casual enough that I can flirt unselfconsciously and I've met great success therein.
28) Do you believe in ghosts? -- I don't disbelieve.
29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? -- Read fic.
30) Do you swear a lot? -- Boy howdy, do I!
31) Biggest pet peeve? -- People mispronouncing words and then getting pissed when you correct them.
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself? -- Easy.
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance? -- Not really. Not the red hearts and flowers and sappy declarations of emotion kind, anyway.
34) Favourite and least favourite food? -- Favorite is thin crust pizza with bacon bits on it; Least Favorite is migas, because just the smell is nauseating to me.
35) Do you believe in God? -- Um?
36) Will you repost this on your page so I can return the favor? -- Already ahead of you, there. ;)

09) Worst Habit? -- Chewing ice.
oh man, I used to do that all the time. I finally stopped because I hadn't been to the dentist in forever, and I was convinced that I had worn down my teeth to within millimeters of just crunching into dust.

Of course, I went to the dentist finally, and they claimed I'm cavity-free, magically, so anything that happens from now on is *their* fault.

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? -- I'd have never gained all the weight I put on in the past decade.

yeah, this is a good one too. I really preferred the state I was in around 2000 a lot more. It's one of my New Years things to help get back to that. Part of it is an activity thing, though. I used to be way more energetic and out there, burning the midnight oil(and calories). Not sure I can equal that, but I'm gonna try, by god.

Because memes are a good way to pass the time...

I was very sad to learn recently that elevator's top hatches are specifically built so that they are not capable of being opened from within. Apparently more people hurt themselves trying to climb out, so the recommended action is now to stay there until they repair the elevators, or a trained person comes to let you out.

29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Read, quilt, play on line... I'm assuming that X-rated answers are outside the perview of this question.


ha ha, that just reminds me of my favorite scene in Blazing Saddles(all the ones with Gene Wilder):

Sheriff Bart: So, since I am your host, and you are my guest, what's your pleasure? What do you like to do?
Jim: Oh I don't know... play chess... screw?
Bart: [quickly] Well, let's play chess!

The thing is, I'm claustrophobic. I can control it for a time but after about an hour (more or less) I WILL get out of there. Somehow.
