A random Q and A session with me. Want to ask me a question? Contact me!

Do you like having your picture taken?
Yes. I am a picture whore. As if you all didn't know that already.

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
I want to go to Italy. I have an unreasonable obsession with Italy. I blame the Romans.

Have you ever done crossword puzzles?
Yep. I usually get bored about halfway through and wander off to find something better to do.

Pick up the closest book and write a sentence at random from it:
"In the living world too, we shall expect to find complex and sophisicated design wherever we are dealing with the end-products of a long, asymmetric arms race in which advances on one side have always been matched, on a one to one, point for point basis, by equally successful antidotes (as opposed to competitors) on the other." - Thank you, Richard Dawkins.:p

Do the same with a lyric from either a cd or the radio:
"I want to touch the earth, I want to break it in my hands. I want to grow something wild and unruly." - Dixie Chicks, "Cowboy, take me away."

Have you ever tried to analyze your own dreams?
Yes, but usually the anlysis tends to just be my subconscious blowing raspberries at me.

Can you sing?
Yes, I can. Can I sing well? Not in the least. But I can sing.

Do you ever sing to yourself while doing everyday tasks?
Sing, talk, mutter, recite beat poetry. All of the above.

What's your favorite color of post-it note?
Bright blue. I hoard post-its so that I can use different colors. Drives my boss nuts.

Have you ever lied to get off the phone or out of talking to someone on line
Yes. All the time. Who doesn't?

Is your VCR flashing 12:00 all the time?
No, but my computer thinks that it lives in Colorado.

Do you read your horoscope?
For humor value, yes.

Would you rather chew gum or use mouthwash and why?
Both. Though I prefer mints to gum.

How many times a year about are you sick?
All too often. I work with the public. It's a job hazard.

Ever been in an airplane?
Yes.

What radio station do you listen to most?
WVXU.

Do you know how to play dominoes?
Yes. But building things to knock down with them is more fun.

What color are your eyes?
Green

How many surveys have you filled out this lifetime?
All too many.

Name one person your life is made better by:
My mom.

Can you do math with ease?
Most of the time.

Are you a vegetarian?
Yes.

How about an aspiring actor/actress:
Nope. I can't even lie convincingly. I can be a drama queen when I want to though.

Which movie(s) can you watch and say the lines along with the actors?
Star Wars! And the Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Name one of your passions in life:
Creating pretty/interesting things.

What's your least favorite time of day?
The half an hour of lying in bed before I actually fall asleep.

What color is the inside of your head when you close your eyes?
Right now I can see the inverse of the computer screen. But if you mean the first color you think of - lavender/purple.

Ever listen to classical music?
Yep.

Have you ever said 'lol' in real life without thinking about it?
Not that I know of. Sometimes I worry that I do. I have mentally tried to delete or put strikethrough tags on things people are saying.

Do you wear a watch?
I can't stand to have it off. My watch has been through everything, from a horse's mouth to an MRI.

Write one sentence stating what you want people to say about you after you've passed on:
I have no clue.

Describe the ideal superpower and what you would do if you had it:
I would like to be able to absorb knowledge and ideas really quickly. Or I'd like to be a Nox. That would be fun. If I was a Nox, I would make myself all wavery and wander around in a white dress and make people think I was a ghost.

Name something you've done in the last 24 hours no matter how big or small:
Made papier mache skulls.

Do you wear necklaces, bracelets, anklets, earrings, rings?
One or two rings, a necklace and earrings.

What's on your computer desk?
Right now I'm trying to make the family computer work, so on this desk/table there is the computer's monitor, two printers, my laptop, a phone, a bowl of chocolate ice cream, my snowflake nalgene bottle, several stacks of cds. A copy of National Geographic, my lotion, Dusty the cat and a bottle of red nail polish.

When you're talking do you ever use your hands to do quotation marks in the air when saying certain words?
Nope, but I've apparently been mimicking Rumsfeld's "boobies!" gesture a few too many times.

Do you think you're pretty?
Yeah. As egotistical as that sounds. I'm not ugly. I may not be drop dead gorgeous, but I'm attractive enough.

What's in your fridge right now?
Don't know. I have ice cream. All is right with my world.

How many people do you live with?
Three/four family members depending on the season, a dog, three cats, two turtles and a fish.

What is the strangest thing you've ever done?
Umm, I've probably blocked out most of the strangest things. Spending three weeks pretending that I was an 18th century gold panner is probably pretty far up there.

Name an instrument you've never played but would like to:
Guitar.

Have you ever been on TV or the radio?
Yep. NPR interviewed Kelly and I about eating cicadas.

Pain bad.

Are you a fast typer?
Yep.

Describe how you sleep:
Curled up on my right side with my arm thrown over my head.

Have you ever read a book and not understood it? If so which one?
Well, there are some books that I haven't understood why an author thought a certain way, but I can generally understand anything I read.

Do people pick up your slang language more than you pick up theirs?
It's about equal, I think.

Have you ever bought anything just because it was a fad?
I'm not sure. I generally wear the same things no matter what everyone else is wearing.

What would you like to do with your life?
Something that keeps me amused and thinking.

Do you bite your nails?
Not unless they're already ragged, then I can't stand to leave them alone and I'll pick at them until they're gone.

Tell me about your dream last night:
I don't remember much of it. It was a gothic ghost story set in the South.

Are people's perceptions of you usually correct?
::shrug:: I guess they are.

When they start sending rockets to the moon for us civilians, will you be on the list to go?
I don't know. I get awfully claustrophobic at times. I would like to.

Have you ever written anything on your skin?
Yes. At times I'll cover my entire arm and whatever other bit of skin I can reach with decorations.

What color are most of your clothes?
light green is the predominant color, but I have all colors.

Are things as bad as they seem?
I hope not.
