which_chickYOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know things about you. I don't care if we never talk, never liked each other, or if we already know everything about each other. You're on my list, so let me know who I am friends with.
(just put this in a reply if you do it)
I got this from LadyIvy.
1. Can you cook?
Of course. I am an excellent, enthusiastic, and frequent cook.
2. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Daydream. This is also how I entertain myself while driving long distances.
3. What talent do you wish you had?
I'd like to be able to sing in tune.
4. Favorite place?
Barns with horses in them.
5. Favorite vegetable?
I'm partial to Brussels Sprouts.
6. What was the last book you read?
Hrm. I'm not actually sure. The last hunk of measureable text I read recently was a reread of M. Trieste's DM/M smutfic with Shades of Grey as one of the three parts. Man, that's a nice read... but it's not a book. I read a stack of dreadful romance novels when I was vacationing in Florida -- those were real books, I guess. After that, I read some forty odd parts of Spander fic, a textual offering which was book-length but again, not an actual book.
7. Are you Dirty or Clean?
I am cleanly dirty. (Go ahead, ask what that means. I double dog dare you.)
8. Any tattoos and/or piercings?
No tats. I have a total of three holes in two ears but do not wear earrings anymore.
9. Worst habit?
At this point? Treating other people like things. I've quit all the "bad habits" of my youth.
HERE COMES THE FUN ...
1. How did we meet?
It was a dark and stormy night in the sophomore year of college. We were both in one of those interminable educational theory classes.
2. What's your philosophy on life?
Largely amused resignation.
3. Negative or Optimistic?
Surprisingly optimistic.
4. What was your dream growing up?
I wanted to be happy. I wanted to fit in. I wanted, not to be normal, but to be in among people for whom my lack of normality wasn't a dealbreaker.
5. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
I was abducted by Pirates.
6. What was your first impression of me?
I thought you were a nerd.
7. Tell me one weird fact about you:
I have oddly thick calluses on the sides of my big toes.
8. What’s your favorite memory of us?
Climbing over a chain link fence in the dark.
9 is missing. Make up something if you want.
No. I don't have to.
10. Have you ever kept anything from me?
Many, many things. Trust me, it's better this way.
11. What do you think of me as a person?
I'm rather fond of you.
12. Do you think I'm sane or insane?
You're largely sane, small side order of neuroses.
13. Would you cry for me if I died?
Oh hell yeah.
14. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Conscience, totally. You've been more amoral than I am really comfortable with. I'm a huge white-hat... despite the fact that it galls the hell out of me to be so.
15. If you could change anything about me, would you?
Nope.
16. How do you fall asleep?
On my right side, easily. I do not have any trouble at all getting to sleep.
17. Ever gotten angry with me?
Other than about the purple bridesmaid's dresses? No.
18. Would you go on a blind date if I set you up?
I wouldn't go on a blind date no matter who set me up.
19. If you had one day to live, what would you do?
Regret.
20. A million bucks… what would you do with it?
Bankity bank bank bank. Also, new(er) 3/4 ton pickup truck for the horse trailer.
21. What is your worst fear?
I don't like heights, much.
22. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
I don't have one thing. I have many things. Which one I do depends on how I feel.
23. Can you sing or dance?
Neither one.
24. In one word, how would you describe me? Be honest....
Human.
25. Will you repost this so I can fill it out?
Good grief, do I have to?
