Monday morning meme
My cousin, of all people, sent me a meme. I'ma post it here and see who bites.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
My alarm is set for 7, but I have a terrible tendency to wake up just before it. This morning was 6:35, then sleep, then 6:50, then dozing, then 6:53, then more dozing, then 6:59.
2. Diamonds or pearls?
Pearls.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Either The Dark Knight or Wall-E; I can't remember. But I'ma see me some Coraline next weekend. :D
4. What is your favorite TV show?
I don't think I have one, cause I don't watch much TV. Maybe Spongebob.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast?
Nonfat chocolate yogurt. And bread, if there's any kind around, or cereal.
6. What is your middle name?
Elizabeth.
7. What food do you dislike?
OH GOD, EGGS
8. What is your favorite CD at the moment?
I have three on my Take-To-The-Moon list. Daft Punk's Discovery, BT's Movement in Still Life, and TMBG's Mink Car.
9. What kind of car do you drive?
I don't. But I miss my Ravemobile, a beautiful '92 Toyota Cressida, which my parents almost never let me drive and then drove into the ground and killed while I was in college after the impossibly aged van crapped out and then didn't tell me until I came home and suddenly there was this IMPOSTOR CAR sitting in the driveway with seats that had clown-barf-kinda speckles all over them and had this silly tinkly-wee bell when you opened the door with the keys in and it was BROWN, BROWN I SAY, and I'm not bitter, really I'm not.
10. Favorite sandwich?
I'm partial to tuna, or turkey and brie.
11. What characteristic do you despise?
I hate when people laugh after everything they say.
12. Favorite item of clothing?
My Rise & Whine fleece hoodie in winter, and my black-and-white-checked sundress in summer.
13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
I'd like to go to Japan, but I'm too scared to fly.
14. Favorite brand of clothing?
H&M has begun to hold my attention lately.
15. Where would you retire to?
That's a good question.
16. What was your most recent memorable birthday?
My 18th was amazing, cause I spent it at Glen Echo with all my HS friends, doing what bivalves do best.
17. Favorite sport to watch?
I find televised sports pretty dull. Sometimes I can watch about five minutes of baseball if it's on in the background, but I'll wander away real quick.
18. Furthest place you are sending this?
The furthest reaches of the Internet, I guess.
19. Person you expect to send it back first?
Eh, nobody does these anymore. But the first person to reply will either be Sandi or Dyanne.
20. When is your birthday?
August 28.
21. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Definitely night. I'm really more of a mid-afternoon person, when I think about it, but at night I have all the energy when morning-person Will is ready to collapse.
22. What size shoe?
7. I wish I had money for every time someone says to me "You have really tiny feet!"
23. Pets?
None, anymore. Oh, god, that really hurts to say.
24. Anything new and exciting you'd like to share with us?
I found a lot of books in Japanese at work!
25. What did you want to be when you were little?
A veterinarian, after a bird crashed into something in the backyard and hurt itself. I ended up just being one for Halloween.
26. What are you doing today?
Buying drugs! (No, really, I need a refill...)
27. What is your favorite candy?
3 Musketeers, peanut butter cups, chocolate-covered cherries

Roses. I'm a pretty traditional girl.
29. What is a day on the calendar you are looking forward to?
Valentine's Day promises food and Will, both of which I like.
30. What is your full name?
Emily Elizabeth Bryant, soon to be Emily Elizabeth Lotto. EEL. Oh joy. Will plans to call me "unagi."
31. What are you listening to right now?
BoA, "Eat You Up." I shouldn't like her Americanized English release, but it sounds so good, and it worked a treat when Hikaru Utada did it. Oh, that's another CD I'd take to the moon. Utada's Exodus.
32. What was the last thing you ate?
I'm eating lunch now. Pasta with sauce and ground turkey.
33. Do you wish on stars?
Yes. It's a vice.
34. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?

TEA. I'm not human until I've had my morning tea.
45. Do you want your friends to email you back?
Of course not! I don't want to talk to you! What do you think we are, friends or something?
46. When was the last time you cried?
Really cried? When Maggie died. That was full-on, on-my-knees sobbing.
47. What is under your bed?
Sometimes I lie awake at night wondering about that.

Started a new videogame and played Scrabble until Will almost faceplanted into the board.
49. What are you afraid of?
Throwing up, flying, and this.
52. How many years at your current job?
.25?

Saturday. All the freedom of Friday, and none of the doldrums of Sunday.
54. How many towns have you lived in?
3 - Gaithersburg, Haverford, and NYC.
55. Do you make friends easily?
I'm not sure. I'm pretty shy until I get to know someone. I make friends by osmosis, really; my friends from high school and college were pretty much determined by meeting people my friends knew.
56. How many people will you send this to?
Whoever reads it and wants to pick it up.
Someday I'm going to look over all my meme posts and see how my answers have changed over time.
