next_to_normalSnagged from tattycat.
1) Where do you live?
Washington, DC metro area.
2) If you could live anywhere at all, where would you live?
London. Or Key West. Maybe both. London full time, and Key West as my vacation home.
3) What did you eat for your last meal?
I am eating BBQ chicken pizza right now, in fact. I took my car to get the oil changed and it took a long time, so I'm having a late lunch.
4) What is your ideal meal?
Mom's lasagna and meatballs, with garlic bread. And something chocolatey for dessert.
5) What is your favorite part of your body?
I have nice eyes, as long as I've gotten enough sleep and they're not overwhelmed by dark circles. Also my nose. SO glad I got my mom's cute Irish nose and not my dad's Italian monstrosity.
6) What color are your eyes? Do you wear glasses or contact lenses? Do you wear colored lenses that change your eye color? Would you rather have a different eye color?
Brown. I wear contacts most of the time, glasses occasionally. Not colored, though I did want purple contacts when I was in high school, lol. I have dark hair, and I've always liked the combo of dark hair/blue eyes, but not enough to cover up my real eye color.
7) What's the first book you remember reading?
Oh, I don't remember. I read a lot as a child. Goodnight Moon was a favorite, lol.
8) What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas! I love the traditions, family, food - and presents!
9) What is your favorite season?
Fall. I like spring, too - anytime the weather is nice and cool - but fall in particular seems... comforting, for some reason, I'm not sure why.
10) What are you afraid of?
The dark, fish, and big ugly insects are the top three, I think. Oh, and social interaction. :-P
11) Do you like trains?
Love 'em. Wish there was more/better/cheaper public transportation in this country.
12) Do you like your name?
It's all right, I guess. The thing that annoys me is that it's spelled exactly the way it sounds, but people seem to get confused by it anyway.
13) Do you have a pet or pets? What is your ideal pet?
I have a kitty cat, Chelsea, who is pretty much my ideal pet. Though I wouldn't say no to a dolphin. :)
14) What TV shows are you currently watching?
Haven't you been paying attention to my posts? Okay, let's see: Chuck, HIMYM, No Ordinary Family, Life Unexpected, Parenthood, Being Erica, The Vampire Diaries, Community, The Office, Fringe, Dexter, and Mad Men.
15) Got any podcasts to recommend?
Nope. I don't listen to podcasts.
16) Got any webcomics to recommend?
xkcd and Hyperbole and a Half
17) Pickles: sweet or dill?
Dill
18) Toilet paper: over or under?
Over
19) Do you recycle?
Yes
20) Oxford commas, or not?
YES! The Oxford comma doesn't get nearly enough love, and I am forever adding them to documents whenever I proofread things for work, lol.
21) What's your favorite gender-neutral pronoun?
I... don't really have one? English is sadly lacking in such things, and attempts to create one haven't really caught on.
22) What are you wearing RIGHT NOW?
A green Bermuda t-shirt and jeans.
23) What's one of your favorite articles of clothing, ever?
Actually, I kinda love this t-shirt. I bought it for myself when I went to Bermuda with my friend Kelly three years ago.
24) What is one thing that you want? Anything at all. No limits.
A vacation to someplace I've never been before.
25) What is one thing that you made and are proud of?
I don't really make things... Um, I've done some nice scrapbooks, lol.
26) What's the last thing you failed at?
Haha, sticking to my exercise routine, perhaps? I've been down to once a week lately, and so yesterday I did an extra-long workout, and I am sore today.
27) How quickly do you put away clean laundry?
The same day I wash it, at least.
28) Have you ever used a neti pot?
No. My one friend swears by it, but it seems kind of bizarre to me.
29) Do you know how to swim? Did you ever have swimming lessons?
Yes and yes. I started lessons at the Y (or so I'm told - I don't remember), and then I vaguely remember lessons at the swim club after we moved (which was when I was 3).
30) What color ink do you prefer writing with?
Black or blue.
