ishte | I have been taggified.

Thus:

A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

01. What are your nicknames?
"Ishte", "Liz", "The Liz" and "The Lizard".

02. How do you style your hair?
Style. Listen, let me explain something about being of mostly Irish heritage. You don't try to make your hair do ANYTHING other than what it wants. Styling involves combing out the tangles after washing, and letting it dry in whatever direction it wants.. and then every morning, brushing it tangle free and again, let it do what the hell it wants. Anything else will result in a very troubling bad hair day

03. What's new in your life right now?
I just became a manager. (So new I haven't even gotten a full paycheck yet.) I did not want this btw. I was forced to do this because one of my bosses stopped paying me, and is still in the hole to me for over $400 right now.

04. How many colors are you wearing now?
One... actually... two different shades of the same green. I'm also wearing white socks, but that's all colors or no colors depending on whether we're talking pigments or hues.

05. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Extrovert. No doubt about it. I'm like the class clown everywhere I go. I talk to anyone.

06. What was the last book you read?
The Talisman by Stephen King and uh... some other horror writer... (Still reading it actually) Before that was Robot Adept by Piers Anthony.

07. Do you nap a lot?
No. Just when I'm tired.

08. If the person you secretly like is already taken, what would you do?
Been there done that. Listen if he'd cheat on her with me, then he'd cheat on me with someone else. I'd rather not invite that kind of behavior. I'd rather he stay true to his wife. I do wish he would have continued our friendship once he decided he wasn't interested though. That hurt more.

09. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Meh... not being paid by my former boss has been upsetting, and I'm unhappy over that.. but not in a long term kind of way. It'll be my first Christmas since my dad died. Last year, he was able to wake up enough to sit and chat with us for a little while, and that was nice. Mom opened his presents for him. It was really the last time that I felt he really knew me. I miss him. I'm glad he's safe now and not hurting any more. I know it's sad when people we love die, when they go on without us where we can't go. But I don't understand being angry over it, or long drawn out mourning periods. People come into life with the intent to accomplish certain things, and learn certain things. When they have done that, it's usually about time to move on. Why stay in the class room if the lesson is over. It's time to plan a new experience and enter a new 'classroom'. It makes the ones left behind sad, but it's all a part of the natural cycle. So while I miss my dad, yes... has it made me unhappy? No. Not really. It's a normal part of living. It's a road we all must travel some day. Maybe when he's ready for his next series of lessons, he'll be in my classroom again.

10. What's your favorite dessert?
Really depends on my mood. It usually involves chocolate, and strawberries... If you can get cheesecake in there too, that'd rock.

11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
From bed to unlocking the door at work can happen in 10 minutes. I prefer to eat breakfast and check my email though, so usually my last minute getting up is about half an hour before I have to be there. That gives me a good 15-20 minutes to lollygag around before I need to leave. (Note: I'm an evening bather, and not much of a sweater, so I wake up clean, no point in showering again just to go work in a hot smelly kitchen... better to bath off the stink of the kitchen after work. I usually want to soak by then anyway.)

12. What websites do you visit daily?
Livejournal usually. That's really about it. Oh I probably visit the great Moogly Googly at least once a day too.

13. What classes are you taking right now? And if you're not in school any more, what's your job?
Not taking any. I need to find out what kinds of classes I need to take before I start taking.

14. Do you like to clean?
Eh... do I LIKE it? not normally, but if I have a lot of nervous energy or something has made me angry, it often gets used in a bout of cybercleaning.

15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?
Thanks, but I got it out and now I can't remember what it was.

16. What's the last movie you saw?
Ooh.. Um... I totally don't remember!

17. What's better: eternal love or memorable love?
They both have their merits. My most memorable love was also my most eternal, but that didn't mean I got to be with him. (see above)

18. What is your least favorite thing to do that you have to do every day?
Not a morning person. Hate to get up in the morning. Wish I could just go to work whenever. *snicker* Hey, about that lottery thing.....

19. Best time of your life?
The Present. Let me tell you that people who live in the past, who dwell on the past, fume over the past, they aren't moving forward. By the same token those who spend their life too far in the future, aren't dealing with the here and now either. You have to stay anchored in today, and deal with today. Let the past go, move forward and just live your life as well as you can.

20. What are you most looking forward to in the coming month?
Yuletide
