surprise, as I have often said, is everything

1. Who was the last attractive person you saw? 

    alas, it's been a while since I've had an opportunity to swoon

2. What drives you crazy?

    people who let their dogs poop on the sidewalk

3. Have you smoked a cigarette in the last 24 hours?

     I've never, in my life, smoked a cigarette. As much as I know about addiction, tobacco is one thing I've never understood.

4. Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance? 

    no

5. What's the nicest surprise you've had lately?    I got a FB request from my high school math teacher. We haven't been in contact since I graduated, so it was particularly amazing after all this time. And we have no mutual friends, so it really came out of nowhere.

6. What time did you go to sleep last night? 

    9:50

7. Are you one of those people that always answer their phones?

    not hardly. There is one person whose calls I always answer, and one project I'm currently working on that's requiring some answering. Otherwise—I'm a voicemail girl.

8. If you died today would your life be complete? 

    uh, no. Isn't that the point, that there's still living to do??

9. If you are being extremely quiet, what does that mean?

    normal day

10. Do you know what high school your dad went to? 

    yup, we graduated from the same one (25 years apart)

11. Last time you had butterflies in your stomach? 

     I had an interview last week

12. Where is your cell phone? 

    on the table in the living room. It's been a very, very quiet couple of weeks so I'm out of the habit of having it nearby.

13. What is the nearest purple thing to you? 

    the ledger for one of my accounts, on the dining room table

14. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

    I went to dinner last night with my parents, brother, niece, and great nephew and niece

15. What is the last thing you watched on TV? 

    CSI (original series)
