1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES??? Blue-edged (like Blue Edge Realty. Okay, the real reason I don't watch TV is because I apparently absorb commercials too easily), white in the middle.
2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING??? Whenever I fill out a survey that asks this, I'm not reading a book. I finished Pratchett's Thud! yesterday morning. I have nothing to replace it with. I'm hoping that maybe having nothing to read will make me start WRITING instead.
3. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? The cover of Let It Be. And it's got a crack in it, which is sad-- I love this mouse pad. I can look at it and say "Hi boys!" and feel quite cheerful, even though I know they were all generally miserable during the making of that album. George looks relatively cheerful in his picture though.
4. FAVORITE BOARD GAME??? Well, my favorite game that comes in a box and sits on the board games shelf is Apples to Apples. Of course, that doesn't have a board so probably doesn't count. I always have been a fan of Clue, I must say.
5. DO YOU DRINK COFFEE OR ESPRESSO? Noooo... the closest I've ever had to enjoying coffee was drinking a Kahlua and cream, and even that was more of a toleration thing.
6. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING??? What time is it? Do I want to lie in bed or get up early and maybe do something productive? I have to go to the bathroom. That would require me to get out of bed, wouldn't it.... Maybe I should go to the bathroom now. Hmmm. Maybe I'll think about it some more.
7. FAVORITE COLOR??? A certain shade of blue. There's a line in, I think it's "The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" where the heroine says that she likes places with blue walls because she's certain that Heaven has blue walls. But on the other hand, maybe it isn't that book, maybe it's something by Lois Lowry. At any rate, the blue-walled place in question was a museum, which is why the first book occured to me.
8. LEAST FAVORITE COLOR? throwup. Also, I do not like large quantities of red or black, although I like them both in small quantities.
9. HOW MANY RINGS UNTIL YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? however many it takes.
10. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME??? Really leaning on James for a boy. Jason wants to name his child "Remington" but I'm fairly sure he's kidding. It wouldn't be bad for a middle name though. I don't know about girl's names, because all the girls names I like already belong to important people in my life, or else are too annoyingly common in this current generation. Like I wanted "Madeleine" after my favorite author, but NOOOO... so then I came up with "Natalie," after one of my favorite self-made characters, but Natalie is becoming disgustingly common, too. So everybody sucks, so there.
11. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA??? Vanilla. Ice cream. If you're talking about CANDY, then chocolate.
12. DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST? I like to drive however fast or slow I feel comfortable with at the time, whether that is below, at, or above speed limit. This is very dependent on weather and how alert I am feeling.
13. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL??? Jason?
14. DO YOU LIKE THUNDERSTORMS??? Not usually. In fact usually not at all.
15. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? silver Dodge Intrepid that used to belong to my cousin.
16. WHAT IS YOUR SIGN??? Ask me after I learn sign language. Hey, anyone want to teach me sign language?
17. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI??? I've seen this question before in an email forward survey. My question is, why WOULDN'T you eat the stems? They're the best part in cooked broccoli. The leafy parts are soggier.
18. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB WHAT WOULD IT BE? You know, I don't know. Children's librarian PLUS full-time writer PLUS mother, but most importantly, I JUST WANT TO BE USEFUL TO THE WORLD.
19. IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY COLOR HAIR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?? So, what you're saying by "IF YOU COULD HAVE..." --this implies that I have an entirely different complexion? Then we will go with deep dark brown or auburn. Neither of which would look good on the real me incidentally.
20. IS THE GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY??? Full.
21. FAVORITE MOVIE? The LOTR trilogy, Almost Famous, Star Wars as a series... and those are the ones that always occur to me off the top of my head.
22. DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? MOstly. I remember joining "typing club" in third grade and our teacher explaining how you shouldn't look at the keys when you type, and how I thought she was crazy. And now I do it-- or, DON'T do it-- all the time.
23. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED??? the carpet. Our box springs sit right on the floor.
25. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH??? soccer. Not that I ever do. But when I do, I enjoy it.
26. YOUR SINGLE BIGGEST INTENSE PAIN??? What? I don't understand the question. But the pain of knowing you've hurt somebody you really care about is probably the worst.
27. PERSON MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO THIS??? Respond? Maybe![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vovat, because I think he's my most common responder. MAybe my sister, but it will probably be a two-word response like, "mmm, chocolate" or "DON'T DO SURVEYS!" Which is three words.
28. PERSON YOU SENT THIS TO WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Luckily, I haven't sent it to anyone, and all are likely to ignore. But most likelymadmadammim, because I know she doesn't read this, because she was totally shocked to hear about Miffy's head popping off the other day.
9. KETCHUP OR MUSTARD??? Yellow mustard. Yellow mustard on everything.
30. HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG? Hamburgers with everything.
31. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON??? The very beginning of every season. Maybe fall. I say fall because it is fall now.
32. THE BEST PLACE YOU HAVE EVER BEEN? Never a best place. Wherever I am with loved ones and we are laughing together, that is the best place.
33. WHAT SCREEN SAVER IS ON YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW? "Mystify." I used to have a Series of Unfortunate Events one, but I lost it when my computer crashed and haven't felt like downloading another. It was getting boring anyway.
34. FAVORITE FAST FOOD? Does Quiznos count?
35. WHAT IS YOUR BIRTH NAME??? Would I tell you? I mean, ANYBODY could be reading this.... *doing the paranoid face*
