forty-seven intrusive questions (and answers)

1. Where were you three hours ago? Plunked on the couch, alternating between the Cubs game (they beat the Rockies 5-3) and the race (the guy that I wanted to win was essentially out of it after 19 laps) and finishing a very good novel.
2. What do you think of your last kiss? It was not quite right.
3. Are you wearing socks right now? No - you can pretty much expect that state between now and probably October.
4. When was the last time you went out of town? Ugh. I don't remember! Must've been the last time I was in my hometown. Yargh!
5. Have you been to the movies in the last 5 days? Not hardly.
6. What was the last thing you had to drink? Blackberry sage tea.
7. What are you wearing right now? PJ pants & white cami. I'm stylin'.
8. What was your last purchase? A very convoluted bunch of stuff from Target. I was in a shopping mood, so I splurged: I bought a bath towel. Sigh - I am officially an adult.
9. Last food you ate? Saltines.
10. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Fluffy, yesterday afternoon. I was powerfully lonely and contrived an excuse to waste the majority of her lunch hour, which she gave generously (as always).
11. Have you bought any clothing items in the last week? No, but I got a few things the week before.
12. Do you have a pet? No, and I doubt that I ever will again.
13. What did you do last night? Read, took a shower, and went to bed *very* early.
14. If you could be anywhere you want, where would it be? Norman
15. What is the last thing you purchased online? Checks, and fucking Deluxe fucked up my order.
16. One thing you hate about your parents? Sometimes it's how close they are. Sometimes it's how far away.
17. What's your favorite soup? Fresh: Chicken tortilla (OMG, *so* good!); canned: Progresso chicken with herbed dumplings.
18. Do you miss anyone? Yes
19. Last movie you saw? The A&E version of Jane Eyre, with Samantha Morton. Before that it was Road Trip.
20. What are your plans for the day? [note: I'm writing this on Sunday evening] Dinner (either soup or pizza); fix my pedicure (I colored a bit outside the lines); LOTS of email replies...and I should get some milk, but I'm guessing I'll procrastinate that until tomorrow's lunch.
21. Did you have fun today? Not really. I'm in a mood.
22. Who is your last text message from? BF
23. Were you an honor roll student in school? Yes
24. What do you know about the future? "There is no saint without a past - no sinner without a future." [from an ancient Persian mass]
25. Who was the last person you rode in a car with? Fluffy
26. Do you have a tan? Only in permanent tiny roundish spots on my forearms.
27. How old do you want to be when you have kids? Oh, God.
28. Did you meet anyone new today? No - I've been home alone all day. I scampered outside at 6:10 to snatch my newspaper before the neighbors did, but apart from that I've only haunted my rooms like a Gothic wretch.
29. Do you have any tattoos or piercings? Yes. Two and four, respectively.
30. How do you like your soda? Fresh, because otherwise it will not raise the dough.
31. Do you like hot sauces? More lately than before. Perhaps it's an awareness of my own mortality - the same impulse that led to the tattoos and is sending me to get more holes in my head this month.
32. What are you doing tomorrow? Working, buying milk (see how easy that was?), and possibly dragging Sam to St. Getavia, depending on her availability and my own strength of will.
33. What day is tomorrow? Monday
34. What is your current mood? Vaguely uneasy. Hot (and not just physically). Dissatisfied. Confused. In other words: the usual.
35. Why? I feel like the ax is about to fall.
    I'm sitting in the sun (which is fucking hot for the first time this season), and someone at work did a rather unkind thing to me on Friday that I can't seem to release.
    I am lonely.
    I am doing none of the myriad things that could relieve the above.
36. Do you remember the first person you ever kissed? How could I forget Blake?
37. Do you have a crush on anyone right now? No
38. If you could be on a TV show, which one would it be? CSI: Miami
39. Why?
    • I LOVELOVELOVE Miami.
    • I would very much like the opportunity to wipe out "Lt. Horatio Caine", personally.
    • They can make *anyone* look good in a tight-fitting, v-necked top.
    • I would very much like the opportunity to wipe out Elizabeth Berkley (not just her character, but that woman) personally. [Incidentally, she was born and grew up in the same town as my former boss, Andy.]
    • I LOVE Miami.
    • The bad guy is hotter than blazes.
40. Have you ever watched a movie and just "had" to do what they did? Yes. I lived Pretty Woman in its entirety as a 19-y-o. WTF?!
41. Do you have a "face" you make in the mirror? No
42. Ever use someone else's toothbrush? No
43. Do you like/love the person you got this survey from? She's my kitty cat! Of course I like/love her.
44. Can you whistle? Badly
45. Can you wiggle your ears? No, but my mum can.
46. You have a song that comes on that you just "have" to turn up and sing to? Dozens.
47. Who are you thinking about right now? It doesn't matter. This, too, shall pass.
