You know, I hate this thing
That 36 questions meme
1) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
No way... uh uh... And don't try to get me in one either.
2) What was your dream growing up?
I wanted to be a rock star.
3) What talent do you wish you had?
Uh... I wish I could draw with less effort.
4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
depends on my mood. Morning, might be coffee.. but not swill.. only good coffee, preferably with hazelnut. Afternoon, if I've had enough water you might give me a caffeine free diet Dr Pepper.
5) Favorite vegetable?
I have lots. I like lots of veggies. I have to pick a favorite? Um... Broccoli? Cauliflower? Carrots? Those are the three I buy the most often.
6) What was the last book you read?
Reading a story called "Offspring" by Steven Harper
7) What zodiac sign are you?
Scorpio. (Scorpios are either nuns of whores I'm told. I'm a nun I guess.)
8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
One pierce in my right ear to represent my child. It is hung with a sapphire which was placed there following her initiation as an adult (which btw, that sapphire was hung there WAY be fore some people decided she needed to be initiated again) I guess if I'd had a husband that he might have been a ring in my right ear too. I also have three in my left ear... One represents my own coming of age. Completion of high school and completion of college. I never ever take these out. I will never have an MRI.
9) Worst Habit?
Well... I quit smoking, so it's not that. Maybe letting myself get sucked into the whole "He said... She said" game from time to time... which goes hand in hand with the "bitching about other people to different people" game. I hate that, and yet, I do get sucked into it sometimes.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
I would offer![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marynachaotica a ride.
11) What is your favorite sport?
Cycling. Followed by Roller Skating. I don't do team sports really.
12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
Optimistic.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
With you,marynachaotica? I hope that never happens. However I'd insist on keeping you calm, or knock you out trying. ^_~
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
To date, probably finding out my dad has lung cancer/coming to terms with the fact that he will die. By this time next year? Unfortunately I think it will be losing my dad... but I know he'll still be with me. Just not in that worn out body.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
Just one? Well... I used to have about 3 pairs of shoes. Usually a pair of worn sneakers, a pair of dress shoes and a pair of boots (and the dress shoes and boots were often the same one pair of dress boots). I might also have a pair of flip flops which I didn't count. I never thought shoes were that important. Well, I still don't think they're that important... but something weird happened and now I swear to the goddess I have become a complete shoe hound. If I had all the shoes I wanted I'd have to have a special room just to put my shoes in... a shoe library... yes, that would totally rock. ^__^
16) Do you have any pets?
I have one right now. A bizarre orange female cat named Lady Galadriel Starfire. I say Bizarre, because normally the gene that causes orange cats in males, causes tortoiseshell in females. Well.. technically, Star is a tortoiseshell. If you really dig through her fur, you can find a stray black hair here and there, but visually she is solid orange. So was her sister... so two in one litter and that's a very rare color for a female. Their other two sisters were true tortoiseshells. Star is a weirdo too. She plays fetch. She carries her toys around in her mouth and asks you to throw them for her. She also has a number of distinctive calls and talks a lot.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
Ifmarynachaotica showed up, I'd welcome her with open arms and show show to the peace that is my guest room, because I know if she showed up unexpectedly that she'd be exhausted from the unexpected 12 hour journey and whatever caused it. I'd ask questions later.
18) What was your first impression of me? (hmmm...careful!)
I knew thatmarynachaotica was someone I knew from home. That's why I chased her across half a country's worth of BBS's to find her when the network we'd first spoken on went down.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Clowns suck.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I don't know. I kind of like the way I look. I wish I could grow my hair out as long as it's supposed to be. It will only grow a little past shoulder length and then it starts looking stringy and won't grow any longer. So I get frustrated and cut it all off short.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
I'mmarynachaotica's conscience hahaha...
22) What color eyes do you have?
They are grey. Depending on my mood or clothing, they can range from bluish to greenish, but they are grey.
23) Ever been arrested?
Yes. Yes I have. It's what I get for trying to keep a friend out of trouble.
24) Bottle or can soda?
depends on the bottle. Glass returnable bottle, like old days? YAY... plastic bottle full of aging flat pop? yuck. Can please.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Pay off everything except my house. put a big down payment on another house to live in. Furnish this house with a minimum of nice looking furniture until it sells and then move the nice furniture into my new house.
27) What's your favorite place to hang at?
I don't really have a favorite now. I don't hang that much any more. Used to be Canal Street Tavern because the live shows were usually interesting... but it's so far away now. Then Tudy's for the friends and karaoke... but that burned down, and was replaced not with the quaint old tavern it once was, but a plain blocky looking building... doesn't look like they've have a fireplace in winter and that whole tavern/inn feel that was a big turn on for the rest of us. I'd like to find someplace I could go and just hang with friends once in a while though. Be around people I actually like.
28) Do you believe in ghosts?
Given the number I've encountered and known? Yah... it would be pretty hard not to.
29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
30) Do you swear a lot?
Not really. It depends on the situation though. The more I'm exposed, the more I tend to swear... and if I'm really irate.. yah...
31) Biggest pet peeve?
When I ask someone how they are doing at the beginning of a conversation, I don't like it when that is taken as an invitation to give me a lengthy run down on all the things that are wrong with them and their life. I'd like to hear what's right first. Some people never even get to what's right.
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Ishte
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
Sure. I'm just not all that interested in it right now.... er... not for me. I like it for my chracters. ^_^
34) If you could live anywhere in the world where would you chose?
I really don't have any idea. If I could travel more, and see more places I might have a better idea. Japan might be really cool. But then again, I could get there and it could totally suck. I wouldn't want to be in a MegaTokyo kind of situation right from the start. Really I do like where I am. I think I'd like to visit other places, but live here. We think our political system is so bad, but I challenge anyone to find a country where the people have more freedom than right here. Other places don't have the kind of free speech we do even. Much less some of our other important freedoms.
35) Do you believe in God?
Sure. I just don't call her that. You can call her whatever you want. We all know who she is.
36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?

and I love the symbology of your piercing

I actually wandered off in the middle of explaining about my piercings, and forgot to explain the other three... cos remembering when I got that sapphire, made me mad about some people who wanted to change the rules and say she wasn't initiated, and couldn't be initiated till she was 18...
I'll change it up there... but I also have three in my left ear... One represents my own coming of age. Completion of high school and completion of college. I'm actually owed a couple more... I need to be a little more clear on them for myself before I put them in though. I never ever take these earrings out once they are placed. I had a long hard fight with an employer about that too.

Interesting symbology about the earrings. I likes.

#13...*LOL* It would be BEST if you just knocked me out.
#17...Something would DEFINITELY be up if I just showed up on your doorstep unexpectedly! I'd probably be physically exhausted and emotionally at the end of my rope.
#18...*beaming* Was such a relief to reconnect with my Ishte again!
#21...*pouting* Can't get away with much around Ishte! *giggle*
Naw I don't think we're supposed tag anyone. It's a case of having them perk up and WANT to do it. But we can guilt them! *wicked grin*
