How old will you be in fifteen months?
42. 42! I should do something monumental.
Who was the last person who texted you?
Stephen from work, wishing me a happy New Year (don't do the text thing a lot).
What are your plans for tomorrow?
That would be going to my job at the state. No plans otherwise.
Who is the last person you had a face to face conversation with?
Cathy and Dave- Sunday brunch at Cafe Java rules. Strawberry French toast, woo!
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Kinda sorta. It's not that fast, but it can surprise the hell out of you for certain.
Was yesterday better than today?
Better? Dunno, yesterday was pretty cool, but today's not over yet.
Do you prefer to call or text?
Macht nix; whichever you prefer. My only concern is that I don't get the best cell reception in the house, so if I'm at home call the land line, willya?
What's the nearest green object that you have next to you?
A chunk of malachite sitting on the base of the lamp near the monitor.
What were you doing at twelve am last night?
I think I was playing Rock Band with Stevie; I wasn't watching the clock.
When is the last time you saw your mom?
13 April 2007. :(
What do you miss?
Well, Mom, since you asked.
What are you looking forward to?
Whatever 2009 has to bring! A new season of growth.
What are you doing for your next birthday?
That's a ways off; who knows? Probably get together with friends and eat a bunch.
What is your favorite color?
Blue.
What color is your shirt?
It's a grey sweatshirt with a green Atlantic City logo, which is weird since I've never been to Atlantic City. Where the hell did this sweatshirt come from?
What are you thinking about right now?
Fucking.
Do you have anything bothering you?
Right this second? Nah. I'm feeling sort of sleepy, which is annoying. Also I still want to back up my LJ.
Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
48? No. I think my longest stretch has been about 36.
How is your hair?
Big, curly, tangled.
Is your phone right beside you?
Just about.
Will this weekend be a good one?
The one I'm currently experiencing? Sure, it's done well by me.
When was the last time something bothered you?
My digestive tract seems to be unhappy with me about something I ate recently.
How did you feel when you woke up this morning?
Who the hell is calling?
Have you ever had a best friend of the opposite sex?
Sure; Gordon. Well, and Eric for that matter.
What's in your pocket?
Nothing.
When is your birthday?
16 November. I'm trying to notate dates in that European way for this meme. Aren't I cool?
Are you a forgiving person?
For the most part. Intent counts for a lot. Everyone fucks up.
Did anything weird happen in the past 3 days?
Weird... nah, nothing particularly weird.
What's the last thing you put in your mouth?
Orange juice, you pervs.
Someone/something that made you laugh today?
Eric discussing the peeing habits with one of the cats, to limited effect most likely.
When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday morning. Got something off my chest that was a long time going.
What's the connection between you and the last person that texted you?
Work Stephen? He's a guy I work with. He's also a friend.
Could you date someone who has a lot of issues?
I'm kind of thinking I can't date someone who doesn't have a lot of issues. Everyone has issues, man.
Have any memories that you'd like to forget?
Oh, nothing comes to mind. I think I've forgotten all the stuff I wanted to forget.
Would you kill someone for a million dollars?
Fuck, no.
Do you have a favorite soft drink?
DrPepper made with sugar rather than HFCS.
Do you believe that it is best to have a good friendship first then love?
It often works out that way, but it can work out the other way too. So, "Oh sure, probably" rather than "Absolutely yes."
What do you spend most of your money on?
Debt.
Ever kissed someone over 30?
*snork* Yeah, jesus, it's not like it's a disease.
Do You Like Yourself?
I Suppose I Probably Do, Yes.
What would you name your future son?
WTF Dude, I Had A Hysterectomy
Do you miss anyone?
Sure.
Do you chew on straws?
I avoid straws at all costs.
What song are you listening to?
If you really must know, the random pull at the moment is "Too Hot To Stop" off Ben Orr's solo album.
What was the last movie you watched?
Bender's Game, the latest Futurama movie.
Which of your friends lives closest to you?
Not sure, actually... maybe Nikki?
What CD is in your stereo?
Jeff Buckley's in Homer; Tangerine here on the computer.
When you're home alone, do you still close the door when you shower?
I always leave it open; don't like fogging up the mirror.
Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level?
If I'm alone, I like it on the loud side.
Are you a beach person or a snowy mountain person?
What, I have to pick one? I'd probably go for the mountain. I consider myself a forest person.
Next vacation you're going on?
There's a DMB concert in Houston in May, if that counts. Dad wants us all to go somewhere around Easter too; maybe Ruidoso, NM...
Would you rather stay home all day, or be out and about?
It depends. Too much of either doesn't work for me. My tendency is to stick to the homestead if I had to pick one.
Last time you went to the mall?
Yesterday, matter of fact.
Last thing you purchased?
A tankful of gas.
Do people ever spell your name wrong?
All. The. Damn. Time. Every name too; first, last, pagan, LJ. It's my lot in life.
Are you watching TV?
Not right at the moment.
What are you doing right now?
Guess. I dare you.
When was the last time you were extremely disappointed?
Oh, hell, I dunno. Extremely? Oh- yeah, that one time with that thing there. That's all I'm gonna say about it.
Would you rather have roommates or live alone?
I don't want to live with anyone I'm not fucking, frankly. Eric and I were talking about how being an introvert means that you can't be around people all the time, but certain people somehow don't count as people. For me, I think, that's what makes you not-people in the good way. Somehow.
If you found out that you were going to have a baby, what would you do?
Shit myself. (hysterectomy, recall)
