Drat, he's doing it again. I FED HIM ONE MINUTE AGO! Literally, I put him down and walked out the door and he started to scream. May have even been less than a minute. He needs to figure out how to fall asleep without screaming.
So while I'm here, here's a couple surveys I've had hanging around:
01. Is anything wrong?
My possibly gall bladder doesn't work right. Neither do my sinuses. This has made me grouchy, but this could also be due to hormonal fluctuation. EDIT: And now it's that Sammy can't seem to lay in his bed without screaming unless he's already asleep and doesn't wake up on the way down.
02. Would you kiss anyone on your friends list?
I've probably kissed my sister before.
03. Where do you want to go to college?
I'd go back to college to actually get a non-mail-order degree in creative writing if someone would pay me for it. That was a "what" rather than a "where." But probably somewhere in Pittsburgh. Carnegie Mellon has a creative writing program.
04. How many kids do you want to have?
Three?
05. Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
Yes
06. You drive up to McDonald's, what do you order?
Fries... and quite possibly if I am driving up to McDonalds it is March and I have gone there expressly with the intent to get a Shamrock Shake, so one of them. But anyway, typically a chicken sandwich or, dude, I forget what else they have. Definitely the fries though.
07. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Quite possibly sleeping, though I was reluctantly awake again shortly after that.
08. Do the people who make these surveys ever know how to count?
Do they ever know how to make up really creative questions that don't imply that you are a high schooler, either?
09. Do you like seafood?
Not as a rule, but I like salmon, tuna, crab cakes, fried clam strips and Christmas Eve Clam Dip, and occasionally white fish with tartar sauce.
10. What is one thing you would change in your life?
Number one, my health currently, so I no longer feel like I'm falling apart. Number Two, my housekeeping abilities, so I no longer feel like the world around me is falling apart. Okay, that's two things.
11. If you had the choice, what kind of house would you want to live in?
One with a tower room to be my office.
12. Last thing you ate/drank?
Yogurt. Strawberry. Also just before that I had some PUMPKIN SEEDS.
13. What's your favorite month?
December.
14. What is your least favorite month?
Either February or August. Possibly August because it's several days longer.
15. Do you like peanut butter?
No, I LIVE AND BREATHE peanut butter.
16. What's making you feel the way you are right now?
Like I said, my ill-working sinuses and gall bladder.
17. Most visited web page?
comcast so as to get to email
18. Last person to make you mad?
Sammy for refusing to be put down without screaming.
19. Sprite or mountain dew?
Sprite
20. What was your highlight of the weekend?
It was a pretty lame weekend. We watched X-Files. I made Sammy's hat for halloween out of a pair of old socks. I guess that's pretty cool.
21. Who would win in a fight between Zeus and Odin?
I don't know enough about Odin to say. Granted, I probably don't know enough about Zeus to say, either.
22. Would you rather be able to cast fire, ice, or lightning spells?
How well can you CONTROL the fire spells? Possibly fire spells. But ice would probably be handy when transporting groceries.
23. Do you have any pets?
No, I have a big boy and a little boy, they're quite enough.
24. What's your favorite number?
eleven?
25.Do you like someone?
Well, not YOU
26. Do you know how to swim?
In the sense that I won't drown if you toss me in. Assuming you haven't bound my limbs and/or encased my feet in cement
27. Do you have a best friend?
Yes.
28. Do you have a crush?
No, I can't even say I have a crush on my true love husband at the moment. I'm not in a very crushy mood.
FRIEND CONFESSIONS;
01. Are you jealous of one or more of your friends?
Yes.
02. Have you known any of your friends your whole life?
Yes, though I don't talk to those friends very often, and sometimes I'm not sure if they're so much My friends as People I've Just Known Forever. I mean, I'D consider them my friends, but I don't know if they still do.
03. Are any of your friends taller than you?
Um, yeah. I'm 5'3". Though, granted, I do still have quite a few friends who are my height or shorter.
04. Have you ever been ditched by a friend?
Yeah, yeah I guess so
05. Do you have your friend's phone number's memorized?
Just Jason's cell. I used to know Molly's and Liz's off by heart, too, but now not only do I forget those numbers, they also neither one of them live with their parents anymore.
06. Do you have any enemies?
I hope not.
07. Have you been to most of your friends houses?
Um, yeah. Actually I may have been to ALL my friends' houses. Well, maybe not. I haven't been to all YOUR houses. And a few of my friends I've been to a house OF theirs, but not their current house.
08. Do you love most of your friends?
It would hardly be friendlike of me not to.
HABIT CONFESSIONS;
01. Do you play with things when nervous?
Even when not nervous. Then again there's a good chance that I'm always slightly nervous.
02. Do you have an odd obsession with knives?
No... but I do always have the desire to open and shut every single part of any Swiss Army type knife I see.
03. Do you sleep with the door open or closed?
Umm... I'm too tired to tell
04. Is there at least one sound you can't stand?
Oh, many. I'm sensitive to sound. I don't like annoying sounds. Or repetitive sounds. Which are also annoying sounds.
05. What is your worst habit?
Inertia
LOVE CONFESSIONS;
01. Do you currently love someone?
Yes.
02. Do you want to kill one of your ex's?
No.
03. You get bored of your girlfriends/boyfriends easily?
No. Except the one, but that was because he was innately boring.
04. Has one of your crushes ever called you self centered before?
I've heard it from people, but not from any of my crushes. At least any of my sexual crushes. If you count nonsexual-I-can't-believe-how-cool-that-person-is crushes, then yes, a couple times I think.
PERSONAL OPINION CONFESSIONS;
01. How do you feel about immigration?
I don't even think immigration is an issue. People just make it out to be one because of their xenophobic tendencies.
02. Do you think abortion is horrible and should be illegal?
that's two separate questions for which I have two separate answers. Yes, I think it is horrible. No, I think making it illegal at this point in time would be dangerous, and it is better to change people's understanding of what abortion is, instead, and then when society as a whole can accept that it is murder, then we can make the law.
03. Is gay marriage fine by you?
Yes. It's better than any kind of sex outside of marriage, so be it.
04. Is pink an ugly color?
It depends on the shade of pink and what it is that is pink.
05. Needles aren't so horrible?
Aside from trying to figure out the syntax of that... statement, um, I don't like needles when they pierce skin, but I do like to sew. Not skin though.
06. You have plenty of secrets?
Nobody ever asked
HAVE YOU EVER CONFESSIONS:
01. Have you ever fallen up the stairs?
Oh yeah, regularly.
02. Added questions in a survey with missing numbers?
I think I actually did once, but mostly I just don't notice.
03. Have you ever hit someone?
I think I have but at the moment I honestly can't remember
04. Have you ever killed someone?
Not in real life.
05. Worn the same clothes for a week straight?
Um, maybe ALMOST a week, when I wore a uniform.
OTHER CONFESSIONS
01. Have you kissed anyone on your top list?
Like I said, maybe my sister.
02. Do you enjoy drama?
Only on television.
03. Have you ever gotten in a fight?
Of the verbal varieties.
04. Whom would you like to hit right now?
D'Bottle
05. Is there any type of rumor going around about you?
I don't know, I'm so out of the loop.

gloworm59 or majellen. Would I have gotten into it if it hadn't been for that coincidence? I don't know.
# Still friends with this person: Yes. Seriously, it wasn't THAT long ago.
# How many people have you introduced to LJ: Um... none? I might have helped inspirepunterschlagen to get her account, but I don't know how she found me on LJ in the first place.
# List everyone on your friends list who you have met in person: it used to be everybody, but now I've gone and added some random cool other people so I don't know. The ones I HAVEN'T met are, let me see: ardentreader, iamdamanda, and marisa724
# Total LJers met: 13. Well, on my friends list. I've seen other people I've met, but they're not on my friends list.
# 5 people on LiveJournal that you have known the longest: magnolia (23 1/2 years), wonderingmind (23 years... even, maybe?), jent9202003 (13 1/2 years, but there was a large gap of time in the middle that I didn't know anything about her whereabouts, either), gloworm59 (from very first meeting, almost 12 years, but known 11 and some months), and rockonliz127 (11 and some months but less). vovat and punterschlagen miss tying with liz by, like, a day. Maybe some hours.
# Anyone on LJ you can't stand: well, that's the nice thing about quitting my communities, only the nice people are still around.
# Name one person on your friends list you would most like to meet: Well, I was actually thinking this, but if J would ever decide he wants to pack up and go teach at his old boarding school, which is near Buffalo, I would like to make real life friends with iamdamanda quick. But I don't think we're likely to get that desperate.
