Were you named after anyone?
[info]murphymom, remind me....
When was the last time you cried?
Earlier this week, while trying to convey to someone I really care about that no, I really care about zir.... (Yes, I'm being deliberately cryptic.)
Do you like your handwriting?
When I actually manage to slow myself down enough, yes. Otherwise I have this nagging tendency to drop letters out of words.
What is your favorite lunch meat?
I guess bacon doesn't count, so I'd have to say turkey.
Do you have kids?
Nope.
If you were another person would you be friends with you?
...uh...I just took my last vicodin. I'm having enough trouble parsing that question, never mind answering it.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Never. </deadpan>
Do you still have your tonsils?
Good grief, it's been over thirty years since they were removed.
Would you bungee jump?
Twenty years ago, maybe. I've gotten exceedingly paranoid about heights, etc., as I've gotten older.
What is your favorite cereal?
Golden Grahams - ideally with chocolate milk.
Do you untie your tennis shoes when you take them off?
Most of my everyday shoes fasten with Velcro these days...whether or not I unfasten them depends on how tired I am.
Do you think you are strong?
Probably stronger than I give myself credit for, at least emotionally. Physically, my upper body needs serious help.
What is your favorite ice cream?
Godiva's Belgian Dark Chocolate.
What is the first thing you notice about people?
Oh, good lord. I'm gonna be largely superficial and say their eyes.
Red or pink?
Depends on the shade of pink.
What is the least favorite thing about yourself?
While I've gotten better about it, I still have a tendency to be an attention-seeker.
Who do you miss the most?
That's a loaded question.
Do you want everyone to send this back to you?
I honestly have no preference whether or not anyone else does this.
What are you wearing now?
Jeans, a red-and-black Asian-print shirt, my wrist brace (still), my glasses, and a black hair scrunchie.
What was the last thing you ate?
A slice of mushroom pizza from Pizza My Heart.
What are you listening to right now?
Some video [info]gridlore just pulled up on YouTube.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Blue-violet.
Favorite smells?
Vanilla, sandalwood, leather, star jasmine.
The last person you talked to on the phone?
[info]gridlore, letting him know I was on the way to pick him up.
Do you like the person who sent this to you?
It wasn't sent to me, but I like the person from whom I acquired it.
Favorite sports to watch?
Figure skating. Arena football.
Hair color?
Brown.
Eye color?
Officially, brown. It tends to vary in depth, however, and if I've been crying a lot recently, they're almost green.
Do you wear contacts?
No.
Favorite food?
Reply hazy, ask again later.
Scary movies or happy endings?
I don't see these two as being opposites, frankly. But I don't watch scary movies if I can help it.
Last movie you saw.
Immediately putting the lie to the previous question, roughly 2/3 of Cloverfield.
Summer or winter?
Both. Summer because it means I'll be going to the playa soon; winter because it's an excuse to snuggle up under the blankets in front of the fireplace.
Hugs or kisses?
This is not an "or" question.
Favorite dessert?
Creme brulee. (You. Shut up. *grin*)
Most likely to respond?
[info]gridlore, if only because he's still awake while I'm posting this.
Least likely to respond?
Any of the several people I know reading this who don't actually post in their journals (anymore | ever).
What book are you reading now?
None, at the moment. I just bought a few at Bunns & Noodle after Doug's last dentist appointment, though, so that will change shortly.
What did you watch on tv last night?
The special edition of Countdown, covering the Obama passport debacle.
Your favorite method of relaxation?
Hot tub.
Favorite sound?
A lover's unrestrained laughter.
Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Queen.
What is the farthest you've been from home?
Massachusetts. I REALLY need to do something about that.
Do you have a special talent?
I'm good at several things, but I wouldn't necessarily call any of them a talent.
Where were you born?
Less than ten miles from where I'm sitting right now. (The hospital in question closed a couple of years ago.)
Whose answers are you looking forward to getting back?
I'm not expecting any.

Which is why I always answer that type of question with [dead relative]. Much less loaded that way.

Originally, I'd wanted to name you Katherine, so I could call you Kate, after Kate Jackson - this was long before she became well-known, but I loved her character on Dark Shadows. For some reason, that was voted down, as was every other name I came up with, including Kirsten, at which point, I literally stamped my foot, said, "This is my baby, and she'll be Kirsten or NOTHING!" So, I guess you were meant to be Kirsten. (One of the names considered was Melissa - you could have had the same name as the aunt neither of us knew about for years.)
