- What's your favourite biscuit to dunk?
I'm not much of a dunker, but crispy chocolate chip cookies are pretty good when they're not too dunk-soggy - Which would you rather have if you had to, a broken leg or a broken arm?
arm. It would make me crazy to be truly immobile. - Do you read a daily newspaper?
I glance at it more now than I have in years, just because of the house-hunting. My landlords take the local paper on Fridays through Sundays, and there's also a copy at work every day. - Do you watch the news on TV?
just about daily. So weird. I'm looking forward to being done with that when I relocate again. - Have you ever had anything published?
I have. If I told you what it was, you'd pass the F out. - Do you believe in love at first sight?
sure. Why not? It's at least as plausible as finding a decent guy over time. - How many remote controls do you have in your house?
I can see five from where I'm sitting. There are also a number of them packed in boxes in the basement, along with various individual ones for odd things like fans and speakers. It's a very techy household. - Have you ever been in a hot tub or sauna?
um, yeah. There was a sauna at a health club of which I was a member, briefly. And the hot tub thing was big for a while in a life I used to lead, long ago and far away. - Have you ever had chicken pox?
I did, the summer after kindergarten. I have a scar in my eyebrow but that's it (as far as I can tell). - Do you own a lava lamp?
no, and I wish that I did! The one I had pooped out after many years of service. I want one for my rec room--when I get a rec room! - What is your one major weakness?
certainty--I either have it in excess or I can't find it anywhere - What's been the best decision you've made in your life so far?
ending my marriage. I know how that sounds, but the way that I mean it is this: we are both now living the lives that we were supposed to live, and they are not the same life. He's married with a kid and living in a major metropolitan area. I'm single, about to buy my first house on my own, working in a totally new field, and in the part of the world that I've always known was home. It was enormously difficult, but the best thing I could have done. - What's been the worst decision you've made in your life so far?
every moment that I wasted trying to succeed at my last job, or (horrors!) to make my previous employer happy or satisfied. It was self-defeating and sucking the life out of me, every moment at a higher and higher cost. Finally realizing that I could leave, needed to, and would, were what saved me. - What words do you always struggle to spell correctly?

7 and rising - On a scale of 1-10, how smart would you say you are?
9 - On a scale of 1-10, how funny would you say you are?
either 2 or 8, depending on my audience and how it's rolling - On a scale of 1-10, how devious would you say you are?
9 - On a scale of 1-10, how awesome would you say you are?
3 - On a scale of 1-10, how devilish would you say you are?
7 - On a scale of 1-10, how nice/caring would you say you are?
5 (or 1 or 10, depending!) - On a scale of 1-10, how bitchy would you say you are?
6 - On a scale of 1-10, how polite would you say you are?
HA! 5. Or 1. or 10. - On a scale of 1-10, how attractive would you say you are?
6 - If you could be any famous person who would you be and why?
I have zero desire to be famous, but I'd love to inhabit Stephen King's brain for a while--and then be able to give it back. I think he's brilliant and terrifying, and that his books maybe don't scratch the surface of everything he's capable of thinking about. - What's your favourite animal beginning with the letter A?
