stolen from my LJ flist

1. Do you like blue cheese? No, you may have mine, thanks.
2. Coke or Pepsi? Neither
3. Do you own a gun? I have for a long time. I used to enjoy plinking (tin can targets). I haven't touched it in a decade or more. It's locked up.
4. What flavor of Kool-Aid? Ack, augh, I can still smell it from making it for my kids. No thank you.
5. Hot dogs? Yes, about three times a year.
6. Favorite tv show? Supernatural, as long as it lasts, baby.

8. What do you drink in the morning? Coffee, or tea if the tum isn't up to coffee.
9. Can you do a push-up? Unlikely
10. Favorite jewellery? I have a thing for lockets.
11. Favorite hobby? Writing, playing with stuffed animals and the occasional doll (repairs, including clothes, cleaning, replacing missing parts)
12. Do you have ADD? ADHD, inattentive
13. Do you wear glasses? Yes
14. Favorite cartoon character? Aang Uncle Iroh
15. Three things you did yesterday? Organized a list to speak to my PCP, scrubbed the bathroom vanity counter and toilet. Need to do the mirror.
16.Three drinks you drink? Water, tea, clear soda
17. Current worry? Some troubling physical symptoms that may be drug side effects or interaction.

28. Where would you rather be right now? Right here's good.
29. Favorite food? OH's veggie-barley-beef soup
30. Least favorite chore? vacuuming
31. Most favorite chore? Honestly? Things like wiping down the cabinet fronts, cleaning the fridge or freezer door gaskets, washing the kitchen trashcan lid, wiping down the stovetop, emptying the toaster's crumb tray. Anything I can start and finish while the coffee's brewing is great—small effort, things that often get neglected, and job *done*--accomplishment!
32. What is in your pockets? lint, and a very sad wrinkly tissue
33. Last thing that made you laugh? Scathing political screed, well delivered
34. Favorite animal? Always? Cats of all sizes, canines of all sizes. Elephants and giraffes, just because they're both ridiculous looking, but there's some delicate elegance about them both.
35. What is your most recent injury? Bit my tongue
36. How many tv's in your house? One
37. Worst pain ever? Dislocation and buggering of knee: torn ligaments, stretched tendons. Six months on crutches. Still won't bear my weight bent.
38. Do you like to dance? Not as much any more.
39. Are your parents still alive? No
40. Do you like camping? I would probably not endure the lack of creature comforts well now, but when the kids were young, I loved tent camping at the lake. We pitched camp on the slope down to a tiny, private cove, and would take the boat out onto the main lake, or into other coves to fish. In the afternoons, OH would nap and the boys and I would moor the boat in the center of the cove and dive and swim and play for hours. I must have lost 15 lbs in the two weeks that summer, despite the fact we were all eating like ravening beasts. It was fabulous. Also the first time I ever saw the Milky Way, as nothing was around the lake but farmland, and no streetlights. Amazing.

Voice, probably, then body language


Football or baseball?

Gymnastics or figure skating

I don’t remember. It’s been a while since I saw a movie in the theater.

Do you wish for anything at 11:11? If so, what do you wish for?

I don't understand the significance of 11:11 (feel free to provide info), but I wish for A. As little damage as possible done to the country and the world until we get the US government back. and B. To get settled in and as familiar with DW as I became at LJ, and for all my flisties to follow me here. And C. A pony.

A picture of yourself.

A picture of your handwriting

Sorry, I've been busy.

23--A letter to someone, anyone.

Dear kid,

Why didn't you say something? Anything.

Love,

Mom

24. Seven things that cross your mind a lot
People I love who are far away, people I used to be close to with whom I've lost touch, random memories of things I could have handled better, The cats who've lived with me over the years, Other people's dogs I've known. Favorite desserts I have known. Random flashes of sense memory: sunlight through leaves on a specific mountain road, the mountain view from the balcony of the gasthaus where we stayed in in Berchtesgaden, leaving the windows open all winter in our apartment in Firth so we could breathe in the steam heat.

25. Would you rather date someone plain with an amazing personality, or someone beautiful with a plain personality? Anyone with a personality sparkling enough for me to date them is automatically beautiful to me.

26. What are some little things that make you feel warm and fuzzy? The mug of tea OH brings me when I'm chilly. The fleece throw on my lap. Purring kitties. Happy well-written curtain fic. A well-scrubbed bathroom. New sheets on the bed. Thoughtful comments on something I wrote, fic or random post.

Turn ons and offs

Really? Okay. Ons--

Bodies--living breathing bodies: the curve of the nape, the angle of a wrist, the roundness of shoulder, of bicep, of breast. The heavy ripe weight of the buttock, the round fullness of the back of the thigh, the luscious apple-curve of calf, the spread of toes supporting weight. The sweep of eyebrow and the shadow beneath, the wet glint of cornea, the fall of eyelashes, the tender double pleat of philtrum. The human body as a collection of angle and curve, of hollow and fullness, each facet singled out for isolated appreciation. Not as a sexual object, merely living sculpture, studies in light, shadow, perspective, tension and relaxation.

Performance, earned by practice and dedication.

The quality of sunlight in those few days when the earth's axial tilt changes.

The sound of water: surf, running river, waterfalls large or mere trickles, soft rain, and the afterthought drip of eaves.

Offs--Assaults on the senses: too loud, too sudden, too harsh. Light too bright, flavors bitter, too sour, sharp or too highly spiced. Unpleasantly textured cloth: upholstery, clothing, bedding. Personalities too abrasive, too loud, too self-absorbed and unaware of emotional atmosphere.

Cruelty, careless handling, use with no investment or regard.

While each of us is the center of our own universe, that does not mean that we have the right to use up all the quiet, all the beauty, all the resources for mememe. Those who do so are wrong.

Concerts you have attended

The Music Department was constantly giving concerts--selections from operas, choral, instrumental, either chamber or symphony performances.

Popular commercial artists concerts, the only one was Peter, Paul & Mary. No matter we had nosebleed seats, we were right off Paul's shoulder, stage right. I knew every note of every part of the harmony of every song they'd released. I was in anticipatory heaven. I got hysterical laryngitis in the car on the way to the venue, which didn't go away until I got home. Lost my chance to sing along. No matter. It was a fabulous concert.
