It's after midnight, so clearly that must mean time to answer 80 silly questions. Stolen from beckaandzac.



1. What curse word do you use the most?
Fuck. Augmented by fuckity, fucking fuck, ffs (which just kind of sounds like a hiss, but I know what I'm saying), and fuckwittage.

2. Do you own an iPod?
Three, but only two that work. My original iPod is a 30g video iPod that hasn't worked since 2006. I replaced that with a silver matchbook shuffle. Then I got an iTouch. Which I love like air.

3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
dreamlittleyo. She's not around so much these days, and I miss her! Actually talking to, like with voices, would be bethctg2 who I like to pester with phone calls, and skyblue_reverie who I get to see in person!

4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
I have not used an alarm clock except for one airport-getting-to situation in four years. When I was working, it was set to 6:12.

5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
I remember the situation (a truth or dare game at summer camp) but I don't remember his name anymore.

6. Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?
I was at work, and when I heard about the towers, I was in the middle of clerking a woman in for Cesarean section. She had three kids with her, and they were running wild.

7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Take the picture times a billionty. I cannot stand having my picture taken, because I am one of those annoying people who truly believes she is utterly hideous in every picture taken since about 1995.

8. What was the last movie you watched?
Percy Jackson

9. Do any of your friends have children?
Yep.

10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Frequently, I imagine, though most people don't call me that to my face.

11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
I used to when forced to work night shifts, because I cannot sleep during the day, even if I've been up for 24 hours catching babies. It was awful. I've used a few of my left over prescription pills to help with jet lag, too.

12. What cd is currently in your cd player?
I don't own a CD player. Oh. In my car I do. It has six discs in it. Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Our Time in Eden, some Indigo Girls--I forget which one--and a mix CD of mashups. I mostly listen to Adam or to my iPod, though.

13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
regular. Chocolate is only for special treats, and it's not nearly so much a treat anymore now that I am not ten.

14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
I doubt it.

15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
I have no clue. I don't drink coffee. I think I had a frappuccino some time last fall?

16. Can you whistle?
Yes.

17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
I tend to assess their likelihood to talk to/bother me if they are existing IRL. In movies/TV, I notice their prettiness factor.

18. What are you looking forward to?
My parents going away for a week.

19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Every Saturday morning. And I watched Scooby Do after school when I was 10 or 11.

20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
No. I don't wear shirts with any writing on at all. A holdover from getting tits when I was 9 years old and hating people to look at my chest. Also, I am not all that into music.

21. What will you be doing in one hour?
Sleeping, maybe, or reading. I hope sleeping since it's after midnight.

22. Is anyone in love with you?
No. Unless it's a big seekrit.

23. What was the last song you heard?
The theme song for United States of Tara.

24. When was the last time you cried?
I'm losing track of my days this week, but it was in the last few days. I was watching the news about Chile.

25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop?
Laptop.

26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
I have all the piercings and tattoos I want at the moment.

27. What’s the weather like?
Dark.

28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos?
I tend to draw the line at face tatts.

29. What did you do before this?
Had a bath and read the awesome book victorian_tweed sent me. Holding the Man by Timothy Conigrave.

30. When is the last time you slept on the floor?
The night before Thanksgiving. My air mattress had a hole. It was not good. I didn't actually sleep much, though, and then I went and shared with my little niece and nephew.

31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I usually sleep about 6 hours a night for a week and then 10 for a night.

32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
Yes.

33. Are your days fast-paced?
Not even a little bit.

35. Do you use sarcasm?
More often than other people seem to realize.

36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
38

37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
Exceedingly. And even more so since taking a hardcore grammar class last year.

38. Have you ever been to six flags?
I don't know. I don't think so. We had a Great America park here when I was little, and Marine World. Which actually now might be a Six Flags park, but it's moved from my town up to Napa, and I haven't been since it moved. I might have been to one in LA, though, when I was little.

39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
Same sex. Though I get along pretty well with gay men, so long as they aren't the sexist types.

pretty much always.

Only Rachel Maddow.

43. How did you get one of your scars?
I stepped on a piece of glass in the Merced River.

44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
My dad. He ate two large helpings of the left over chicken tacos for lunch which meant I got nothing.

45. Do you like anybody?
What does this question even mean? I like many people. Many many people. If it means do I have a crush, then, yes, that too. But I'm not going to be passing her a note saying "Do you like me, tick yes or no"

46. What is the last thing you purchased?
A chicken Caesar wrap, a diet Dr. Pepper, and Charleston Chews.

47. What side of the heart do you draw first?
right. Unless I draw the left first.

48. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
I used to take diving lessons, and I definitely didn't plug my nose. I can't actually remember the last time I dove, though.

49. What colour is your razor?
I don't have a razor. In the winter I'm hairy, and in the summer I wax. If I need a razor for anything, it's whatever color is cheapest.

50. What is your blood-type?
O pos.

51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
I would like to be tied between Cat Deeley and Rachel Maddow.

52. What is a rumour someone has spread about you?
I seriously, honestly, do not pay any attention to that. People must have spread rumours about me in high school, because our class valedictorian signed my yearbook, "You sure kept the gossip mills churning." Fuck knows what they said about me, though.

53. How do you feel about carrots?
I love raw carrots and will not touch cooked ones.

no. though I can pretty much sing along.

When I was stuck in an elevator I talked to the other people there and bitched about the heat. would depend on if I had my handbag with me, and whether the building had wifi.

59. What’s your favourite kind of gum?
mint

60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
F.

61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Yes. It's the passive sort of crush, though.

62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Maybe?

63. Do you like to sleep?
I neither like nor dislike sleep. I like what it does for me, and I don't resent the time spent doing it, but I am not one of those people who loves sleep zomg. It's kind of like breathing. Necessary for life, but not very exciting.

64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time?
I know that Arizona didn't in 1990. Other than that, nope.

65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Absofuckingloutely! I love that song. Insane amounts. It's one of those songs that I have to sing when I hear it.

Dear god, NO.

67. What’s something you’ve always wanted?
A girlfriend who loves me like pie.

68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
at the moment, yes. I cannot be bothered with waxing when I'm going to be wearing jeans all the time.

69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
A lake if I didn't ever have to touch the bottom *shudder* But really, a pool, thanks. The ocean is freezing and salty and dangerous, and lakes have mud.

70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Almost none.

71. Describe your hair:
Short, saucy, and "winter wheat" (that last is my hairdresser's description). It's fine but I have tons of it, it's super straight, and it grows really fast. It's the one feature I have ever been even a little bit vain about.

72. Do you have Entomophobia?
I'm terrified of dragonflies, even pictures or other representations (like earrings) of them. And I'm terrified of grasshopers. Otherwise it's totally dependent on how likely I think the creature is to crawl on me.

73. Are you an adult?
Yes.

74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
In my computer.

75. Do you have a tan?
No. I am pasty pale, or I burn. Tan, not so much.

76. Are you a television addict?
By pretty much any definition.

77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
Generally. Though living together is trying occasionally.

78. Are you a sugar freak?
Sadly, as it tends to make me feel crappy, yes.

79. Do you like orange juice?
Yes, but not fresh squeezed. I like cheap and pulp-free stuff best. I'm weird, I know.

80. What sign are you?
Leo. Rat. (it's interesting to me that I did not have to change this answer from the person I stole this from.)
