I think I've done this one before, but most of the answers change anyway.
1. Elaborate on your default icon.
I just put up a new one. Although I've actually had it a long while. It's from somebody on the

discworld community, in reference to the concept of L-space, which is basically-- oh, let's see if I can explain this properly-- I forget the exact equation, but it's based off of knowledge=power, and the idea that a large concentration of books is also therefore a large concentration of power,
and all writing is connected to all other writing in the multiverse so theoretically you can travel through the multiverse using L-space... eh, it's not coming out clearly at all. But it's a secret only Librarians know!

2. What's your current relationship status?
Married with 2/3 of a child

3. Ever have a near-death experience?
No?

4. Name an obvious quality you have.
glasses

5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
None; though I'm listening to "Lowdown" by Chicago (a song few people know but more people ought to). The last song I remember randomly humming and singing although it wasn't on anything I was listening to was a spiritual that I think is called "Shall we Gather at the River"-- at least that's how the words go-- this morning

6. Name a celebrity you would marry.
Dav Pilkey maybe. Maybe if he was at least five years younger and didn't live in Seattle and we were both single. Possibly also Dhani Harrison. If either of those people count as celebrities. Do any of you know who either of them are? Well, I know Maggie knows who Dhani is. I think she likes him more than me.

7. Who will cut and paste this first?
Well, Nathan already did it. Liz does a lot. Maybe Leah.

8. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
Everyone said I looked like the female lead in "Man in the Iron Mask" when it was out in college and that's the only one I have EVER heard before. Maybe I should look her up so I actually know who they're talking about. Oh, it appears her name is Judith Godreche and she's French and is usually just in French movies which is why no one has ever seen her in anything else.

9. Do you wear a watch?
To work or anywhere else where I need to know what time it is. I usually take it off the moment I'm home.

10. Do you have anything pierced?
A rephrasing of the question, so I could point out that I have a gum wrapper here that has been pierced with a pen, if I really wanted to

11. Do you have any tattoos?
Sure, there's something that looks curiously like an eye on my left ank... forget I said that.

12. Do you like pain?
Um, no.

13. Do you like to shop?
Only sometimes.

14. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
parking passes

15. What was the last thing you paid for with your credit card?
CREDIT card? I used debit to buy groceries, but credit... possibly a Christmas present. Yeah, probably the movie I got J from Amazon, because I think the default card in Amazon is the credit card. We've been trying to avoid the credit card so that the bill for it doesn't go up-- although it's not actually that high a bill. Just the concept of the thing. And then we can save the credit for emergencies that way. That or a cabinet for the dining room, which is almost an emergency. Or should at least be gotten by April.

16. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
Jason

17. What is on your desktop background?
Hah, I just changed this one too. It's a banana. Jason is disturbed by its phallicness, but to me, it just looks like a banana, and I am always hungry, so I'm like "BANANANANNANANANNANAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" and it also looks funny so it's a happy thing.

18. What is the background on your cell phone?
uhhh... grayness

19. What was the last movie you watched?
Um, Attack of the Clones, although at this point we never actually sit and WATCH any of those movies, we just put them on and shout comments at the screen in between doing other things in the living room like reading or whatnot. The last movie I saw for the first time was Kill Bill Vol 1 which was on TV, but Jason got bored before Vol 2 started so I never found out what happened (I assume more people got killed), although I was rather bored myself. The last movie I saw in a theater was... I have no clue. Pirates of the Carribbean Two?

20. What was the last book you read?
I can't remember for sure, it was something in a pile of middle-grade/YA books I'd gotten out... might have been The Loud Silence of Francine Green by Karen Cushman, but for some reason I think that was too long ago and I've read something since. Well, right now I'm slogging through "The Portable Writers' Conference" which is quite long, although some of the articles are very informative and some are even entertaining.

Then this next part is the one that YOU'RE supposed to do, right here in the comments section! Actually do it, as opposed to Carrie's friends who are all boring apparently:
