:: I Like/Dislike ::
161. Coffee: Ick.
160. Anime: I don't get it.
159. Reading: Not ick.
158. Flowers: Not ick, but I have a tendency to kill them, so I don't tend to cultivate them. At least, not indoor ones.
156. Snow: Not ick. Especially when you have Y-chromosomed teenagers around to shovel it.
155. Driving: Love it.
154. Sports: Pretty much ick. Particularly the "professional" variety.
153. Television: Haven't watched it in...about 15 years, though we watch shows we hear about on DVD. So...pretty much ick. Commercials monumentally annoy me, which is pretty much why I said "NO MOAR!" to TV.
152. Star Trek: Adore it.
151. Smoking: MAJOR ick.
150. Fast Food: Ick, other than the very occasional craving for McDonalds French fries.
149. Candy: Meh. I like to suck on hard candies sometimes, but generally I prefer greasy salty things to sweet things.
148. Puppies: Love 'em, even though they can be a giant pain in the butt. Kittehs are so much easier.
147. Rain: I like it when it's warm outside, not when it's cold.
146. Rollercoasters/Thrill Rides: I used to like rollercoasters a lot but haven't ridden one in eons. I don't like the kind of thrill ride where they drop you from a great height, though.
145. Sushi: MAJORLY HUGE GIGANTIC ICK!
144. Name Brands: Depends. I couldn't care less about brand-name clothing, for instance, but some foods...Well, the cheap-o brand just isn't as good, dangit!
143. Hiking/Camping: Used to like it a lot more than I do now. Now, I'm old, and I like my comforts.
:: I Do/Do not Believe In :: (YES/NO)
142. Love at First Sight: Yes, says the goophead romantic.
141. Luck: No
140. Fate: No
139. Yourself: As in, do I believe that I exist? Well, that's a very interesting philosophical question, isn't it?
138. Aliens: That they exist somewhere? Yes. That they visit us? No.
137. Heaven: Not as an actual physical place, no.
136. Hell: Not as an actual physical place, no. (Is there an echo in here?)
135. Ghosts: No
134. Horoscopes: No
133. Soulmates: Yes
132. Chupacabra: Maybe. I hardly think we've discovered every animal that exists on the planet.
131. Brushing my Teeth Daily: Yes. Twice daily, even.
130. SATAN: Not as an actual corporeal entity, no.
:: Which is Better ::
129. Hugs or Kisses: Hugs
128. Drunk or High: How 'bout sober?
127. Phone or Online: Online. Phones of any kind are a tangible sign of evil in the world.
126. Red heads or Black hair: Black
125. Blondes or Brunettes: Brunettes
124. Hot or Cold: Pertaining to what, I have to ask? I'd rather be cold, since I can always put on another layer of clothing or grab another blanket. One can only take off so much...
123. Summer or Winter: They're equal, but neither is my favorite. (That would be autumn.)
121. Chocolate or Vanilla: Vanilla
120. Night or Day: Night
119. Oranges or Apples: Apples
118. Curly or Straight hair: I'm glad mine is straight
117. Coke or Pepsi: I have no preference. They're both just caffeine to me.
:: Here's What I Think About ::
116. Abortion: I would never have one under any circumstances, but I'm not at all political/activist about it.
115. Backstabbers: In real life....well, no one likes them. Yet, there's Starscream the uber-popular. What does that say about us? :)
114. Parents: They can be our best friends...or our worst enemies.
113. Movies: I want CGI to die in a fiery fire of fiery death. Seriously. It has destroyed, IMO, good story-telling. Watch Hitchcock, dammit.
112. Music: Is life.
111. Religion: In terms of practice and ritual and in some cases theology, I think it's mostly BS. I strongly believe in God and am a follower of Christ, but quite frankly, my fellow Christians these days piss me off more than anything else.
110. Politics: Boring! And pointless. And ultimately meaningless and inconsequential, too.
109. The Death Penalty: All for it, but I say once sentenced, take 'em out back and shoot 'em. None of this sitting on Death Row for 30 years crap.
108. Gay Marriage: I see no reason why two people of the same gender shouldn't be able to have the same little piece of paper and the same tax penalties as two people of different genders. I mean, seriously. Who the hell cares?

98. Was stung by a bee: When I was about...oh, maybe 8 or so and deliberately harassed a nest of yellowjackets.

90. Who is the ditziest person you know: Frosty's older son, Josiah. I made him a T-shirt with the "Intel Inside" logo on it, only I exchanged the word "Intel" for the word "Blond." (Since he has brown hair.) He loves the shirt. He has a very good sense of humor about his ditziness.

67. People call me: Kat, Nighty, Hey, you.
66. The person who knows the most about me: Frosty.
65. Do you like to bird watch: Yes. Especially little finches. They are amongst the cutest things on Earth, especially when it's cold and they're all poofed up. They're almost as cute as jumping spiders, even.

60. The most difficult thing to do is: Recently? Hear.
59. I have gotten a speeding ticket: No. I've never even been pulled over by cop, except once to tell me that I had a headlight out...which I already knew because it had just been broken 10 minutes earlier by some guy in Home Depot's parking lot, whose cart full of 2x4s had gotten away from him. I seriously think I scared the cop with my ranting about it...
58. I have contracted an STD: No

47. I have these pets: Cats, dogs, snakes, spiders.

23. FEET:
No, not gonna do these. But I touch-type, so the "eyes closed" one would not be an issue.
:: MISC Cont. ::
22. The all-time best movie is: The Lion in Winter. Every actor in it is amazing, but of course Hepburn steals the show.
21. The all-time best thing in the world is: Beautiful, sunny, warm, but not too hot weather.
20. Favorite type of Girl Scout cookies: The kind with the caramel and coconut with chocolate stripes. I forget what they're called.
19. Most overrated TV series: Wouldn't know. Don't watch.

17. I lose respect for people who: Are willfully ignorant.
16. The movies I have cried at are: Most of them that have sad bits and/or happy endings. The Lion King is a sure-fire bawl-fest for me. The opening makes me bawl. Mufasa's death makes me bawl. The end makes me bawl. That movie is DANGEROUS! ;)
15. Closest friends: I have two.
14. Favorite website: I don't think I really have one. I bounce around a lot, depending on my mood. The other day, I spent hours reading Wil Wheaton's blog. I adore him. (And I never hated Wesley Crusher, but that's beside the point. ;) )
13. Song currently stuck in your head: "Strangers in the Night" by Frank Sinatra. I have no idea why, as I can't stand Frank Sinatra.
12. And tonight, I am going to be: Simming, I think. I haven't done so in a long while, so I think it'll be fun.
11. The worst pain ever was: Toss up. Emergency chest tube (without anesthetic) to fix a collapsed lung, a wrenched back from a car accident, or childbirth. The most vivid in my mind is the chest tube. Yee. Ouch.
10. My favorite words are: Egregious and copious.
9. My room is: Also the living room.
8. My favorite male celebrity is: Hugh Jackman. Omnomnom.
