'Cos today is really friday in disguise...
...a meme.
1. Your ex is on the side of the road on fire. What do you do?
I think I'd stop my car with a bit of dramatic screeching of tyres. Then I'd jump out and run in a circle bibbling for a moment. Then I'd phone for help, and try to work out whether my fire extinguisher is actually still in the car and works at all. Then I'd hope to somebody I wasn't about to blow the flesh from his bones with the thing. Then...I'd run in circles a few more times frantic over what I'd tell to his wife and two stepsons. It would sum to easily one of the Worst Days Ever for many people, and now I'm fretful. Thanks very much, meme.
2. Your best friend tells you she is pregnant. What is your reaction?
Which best friend? If the one told me she was with child, my jaw would pass by the floor altogether and hit the bedrock, 'cos...her man, well...yeh. To put it delicately, that possibility's been completely taken off the table. If another told me she was with child...well, I'd wonder who's the dad, right? 'Cos she's recently divorced, and there are no prospects on the horizon of any sort, so. If the third one announced a child on the way...I don't know, perhaps? You know, provided he survived the Going On Fire bit in question 1. He's indicated he'd rather not have his own children, but I think he'd do well enough. I always imagined him having a girl. /shrug.
3. When is the last time you wanted to punch someone in their face?
Well, there were those two people at Dragon*Con who got up my nose in a surprising way. It served as further proof that I simply don't belong at science fiction conventions.
4. Congratulations! You just had a son. What's his name?
Declan...something something. Robert might figure in there somewhere. Michael? Scott?
5. Congratulations! You just had a daughter. What's her name?
Aislínn Margaret...something. Anne?
6. What are you craving right now?
Five. more. minutes. Please. Snrrrrr.
7. What was the last thing you cried about?
Not in a public forum, please?
8. When you buy something and your change is a penny. Do you keep it or tell them to keep the change?
It depends. If there's a little tray with pennies in, I'll leave it into that, otherwise, I keep them lest I come upon a fountain. Chucking pennies into fountains is one of life's tiny joys.
9. What color is your tissue box?
Much like Nikki, I prefer mine to match the room. So at the moment, brown is the colour of choice. Brown, red, or lavender.
10. Do you have a ceiling fan in your room, and if so, is there dust on that fan?
I have got one, and I use it fairly much, so I doubt it's terribly dusty. I should check though.
11. What is the last voicemail you received about?
Shaddow bidding me goodnight 'cos I couldn't answer the phone in time (de ja vu...)
12. Scariest thing you've experienced in the last year?
Erm. I don't know, really.
13. What do you order when you go to Taco Bell?
Usually a smallish burrito and a lemonade.
14. Have you ever had a garage sale?
At the moment, I've not a garage. Erm...myself? No. I've contributed to them, though.
15. What was the last alcoholic beverage you had?
Peroni; last night at the Marlay House (I know, I know - I'll behave next week).
16.Are you happy right now?
I'm in a state of flux, but who isn't?
17. Who came over last?
Kim, to fetch me for a rafting excursion.
18. Do you miss anybody right now?
Many people.
19. Dark or light jeans?
Where am I going in them? To a seisiún? It doesn't matter. Jeans Day at the office? Better had be dark.
20. What was the last movie you watched at home?
Erm. 'Hancock'? It's been a while.
21. What is in your pocket?
The more urgent question is 'what should be in my pocket, yet isn't there'. To which I answer: the key to my desk. If I don't find it soon, life will not go well for me.
22. Who introduced you to your significant other?
I...don't think we were introduced by a person, actually.
23. Where do you hurt?
At the moment, nowhere, really. This is a boon, a chairde.
24. What is your favorite aisle at Wal-Mart?
The road that takes me past the place.
25. When is your birthday?
In the winter time.
26. What are you going to do after this?
Find my damned key.
27. What is your favorite dessert?
Something with baked apples in. Anything that isn't chocolate.
28. Do you have the same name as one of your relatives?
I know that Elizabeth is taken from St Elizabeth, but there may be a cousin back in my line with that name as well. I honestly cannot recall.
29. Is someone plotting your demise?
Aside from the obvious? Who knows.
30. Has anyone ever mistaken you for a family member?
My sister-in-law and myself are often confused for one another.
31. Does someone like you right now?
I believe so, yes.
32. Do you know anyone in jail/prison?
My cousin. He's now on parole as far as I know. There was ugly drama, thus I don't ask. I think he's been disowned. Needless to say, what he did to land himself behind bars was very, very bad.
33. Do you like the color green?
Some would say I've an unhealthy obsession with green. It's never quite that so, but I do have many things that are green.
34. Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Possibly, but not likely. It's early yet to be thinking anything beyond 'nnrrrk...'
