Getting To Know Shiny-‘ol Me
I’m sitting here relaxing with some Barefoot Cabernet, so why the hell not….. :)
---------------------------------------------
copy all questions, write response, and tag a few other victims. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you - not in a creepy stalker kind of way. But - obviously- I want you all tagged or not) to spend you valuable spare time answering these.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
9am-ish. It’s okay, the boss said I could sleep in today….
2. How do you like your steak?
Alive and Moo-ing. We evil vegetarians prefer when our steaks are still alive, and ideally grazing happily in a field while dreaming lazily of gumdrops and fairies…..
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Star Trek. (I *totally* geeked out and embarrassed Oliver, and drooled profusely over Spock.)
4. What is your favorite TV show?
MASH. I watch it almost every day at some point….. but, in my defense, that is because it’s played ALL the time on TV. I’m also horribly addicted to LOST. But, my newest love would have to be Little Britain. Hee hee hee…… see now, I’m giggling just thinking about it…… “Computer says nooooo” Hee hee
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Alaska. Even despite Crazy-ass Palin…… however, I’m not so sure I could deal with the months of total darkness. Oooooh, Maine! I could so live in Maine.
6. What did you have for breakfast?
Black coffee and Kashi oatmeal.
7. What is your favorite cuisine?
Indian (specifically Southern Indian).
8. What foods do you dislike?
Obviously, any meat. Other than that, anything that involves a cream sauce or milky base. <> Asparagus (no one should eat that). Squash of any kind. Anything sugary or sweet….. I just don’t like sweet things.
9. Favorite Place to Eat?
I am very bitter since 2 of my very favorite places to eat (Off The Wall & House Of Dosas) closed, but since I now need NEW places to call my “favorites”, Iguess I would have to go with Globe Market on Elmwood in Buffalo and Sakura (sushi bar).
10. Favorite dressing?
Balsamic Vinaigrette
11.What kind of vehicle do you drive?
2007 PT Cruiser
12. What are your favorite clothes?
Flare jeans (Oli immediately answered “bellbottoms!”… but, in fact, it is flare jeans - which I do, in fact, live in) & my green flower-weed-looking-print Threadless teeshirt & Southern Tier hoodie. I think I might wear that precise outfit more than is really sanitary….
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
Literally: So long as there is still something in the cup, I will look at it and say “hey, I still have some drink left! Yay!”
Figuratively: I’m a pessimist who desperately wishes that I were an Optimist.
15. Where would you want to retire?
I want to go to Maine, or anywhere in Connemara. Oliver wants to retire to somewhere tropical with lots of hot bikini-clad women. We may have to flip a coin when it comes to that time in our lives…..
16. Favorite time of day?
NOT morning.
17. Where were you born?
Jeannette, PA
18. What is your favorite sport to watch?
Hockey! GO BUFFALOOOOOOO!!! :-)
19. Who do you think will not tag you back?
Your mom.
20. Person you expect to tag you back first?
Again, we’ll go with Your Mom.
21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this?
Do I really need to answer this? Because if I do, you know my answer will be “Your Mom”. I’m just sayin’….
22. Bird watcher?
As in “flap flap chirp chirp” OR “60’s slang term for a girl”?? Either way: Occasionally.
23. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Refer to question #16.
24. Do you have any pets?
An old, slightly overweight, incredibly stinky Boston Terrier (Micky), a very sweet and cute yet slightly insane kitten that desperately needs his balls chopped off (Hermes), and fuckin’ MollyCat.
25. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share?
I killed a hobo…..
26. What did you want to be when you were little?
A turtle. Yes, REALLY. And then, after I aged enough to realize that was crazy-talk, I wanted to be a comedienne/actress. The turtle ambition may have been more sensible……
27. What is your best childhood memory?
Santa Claus sneaking into our rooms after we had fallen asleep on Xmas Eve, stinking of whiskey, and stripping us down…………………….. and changing us into our brand new pajamas. (Oh! We were always so surprised on Xmas morning to find ourselves clad in shiny new PJ’s! Oh, Thank You, not-at-all-psychologically-damaging Santa!! I will NEVER forget you!)
28. Are you a cat or dog person?
Dog person. Do not be deceived by the fact that I also own cats…..
29. Are you married?
Yes. 3 Years this Wednesday. :-)
30. Always wear your seat belt?
Yes, always. Even when just backing out of the driveway to move cars.
31. Been in a car accident?
Does having your car spontaneously burst into flames while you’re driving it count? No?? Oh, well, then I’ve only had 1 fender-bender.
32. Any pet peeves?
…..I read this question to Oli, and his eyebrows went up, he started to cackle, and looked at me with that “are you fuckin’ kidding me?” look. LOL
You want the list?? I thought not.
33. Favorite Pizza Toppings?
Pineapple & crushed garlic (preferably on a white pizza). Yummmmm.
34. Favorite Flower?
Daisy.
35. Favorite ice cream?
I’m not a big ice cream fan, actually (usually eat the soy ones), but when I DO have real ice cream, it is Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby.
36. Favorite fast food restaurant?
I don’t like fast food. Does Subway count? That’s probably the closest thing to fast food that I eat.
37. How many times did you fail your driver's test?
More times than I care to tell………………………. Hey, that instructor deserved to get kicked out of my car!!..... hee hee. I did finally get my license when I was 18 or 19 though. ;-)
38. From whom did you get your last email?
Donald.
39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
I wish I had a more glamorous answer, but it would most likely be Home Depot. Our house is an eternal work-in-progress. :-)
40. Do anything spontaneous lately?
Killed that hobo……….
41. Like your job?
When I don’t have to deal with people, yes.
42. Broccoli?
Is this question offering me broccoli, or asking me if I like it, or is it just attempting to ponder the essence of broccoli…?

Oliver. We went to Brew Works On The Green in Allentown while we were in PA last week.

46. What is your favorite color?
I have no bloody idea. Not pink.

None. I have that weird metal allergy that would make getting repeatedly pricked by a needle hell for me.
48. How many are you tagging for this quiz?
No one. Tag yourselves, bitches. ;-)
49. What time did you finish this quiz?
11:06pm (but I’m not quite finished yet….. looks like I still have 1 question left. This is very bad placement for this question……. That last question lurking down there might be a real poser. I may have to ponder it for hours before answering. By the time I actually finish this dumb-ass quiz, it may be hours after the time that I just quoted you…………………………………………………..…...)
50. Coffee Drinker?
Yes.
