next_to_normalSlow day on LJ today. What's up with that? Unfortunately, not as slow as I'd like it in work, as I've had two different, but equally annoying people call me no less than six times today.
Anyway, questiony meme under the cut fromellan_vannin.
Anyway, questiony meme under the cut from
ellan_vannin. What do you usually have for breakfast?
During the week, a breakfast bar that I can throw in my purse and eat at my desk. I'm one of those "get up as late as humanly possible and still make it to work on time" people, so portable breakfast is key. On the weekends, I usually do cereal or waffles. It's funny, because I LOVE breakfast food - eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, the works. I just can't be arsed to actually make it for myself. I am so totally marrying the first man who will cook me breakfast.
Favorite item of clothing?
My grey zip-up hoodie sweatshirt. I actually love it so much, I'm on my third, having worn holes in the first two. I'd have just kept wearing the first one anyway, but my mother told me I looked like a homeless person and insisted I throw it out and buy a new one.
Favorite CD of the moment?
The Dr. Horrible soundtrack, which technically isn't a CD, because it hasn't been released yet, but some enterprising soul made mp3s from the video. (I promise to buy the actual soundtrack when it comes out.) But I rarely listen to whole CDs, thanks to the magic of iTunes, so I couldn't think of anything else.
What kind of car do you drive?
A 1999 Chevy Malibu. It was mother's, until she completely totaled it, had it fixed, and then gave it to me, so she could get a new one. It was actually pretty hilarious - both my parents wanted new cars, so they had this little competition, trying to get me to take theirs so that they could get the next new one. I think it says a lot that I picked the one with the salvage title over my dad's midlife crisis-mobile. (When my dad asks when he gets a new car, my mother reminds him that he was allowed to pick out the car of his dreams, and now he's stuck with it. FOREVER.)
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
My standard answer to this is usually London (sidebar: my mother called me yesterday to tell me about this movie called "The Bank Job," about this bank robbery (duh) at a bank on Baker St, and I was all OMG that's across the street from where I lived!), but in the interest of variety, I'll pick someplace I've never been before and go with Italy.
Favorite quote?
Oh, man, can I just say anything Jed Bartlet's ever said? I was rewatching season 1 of The West Wing this weekend, and you know, I am a political junkie and this is my crack. Okay, narrowing it down: "With the clothes on their backs they came through a storm, and those that didn't die want a better life. And they want it here. Talk about impressive. My point is this: Break's over."
Also, this: "You know, I was watching a television program before with a sort of a roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends, apparently because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. Then they brought the boyfriends out, and they all fought, right there on television. Tell me - these people don't vote, do they?"
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A Broadway star. Or a marine biologist, except I was afraid of fish, so I wanted a job where I could just play with dolphins all day.
What are you now?
Well, I'm still afraid of fish.
Summer or winter?
What's wrong with spring?
Diamonds or pearls?
Diamonds. But I mean, if someone were to give me pearls, I certainly wouldn't turn them down. I just really like shiny things.
Chocolate or vanilla?
Chocolate. Unless it's ice cream, in which case, vanilla. Because yes, I am the only person in the world who doesn't like chocolate ice cream.
Disney or Warner Bros?
I was always a Disney girl as a kid, plus Pixar's pretty awesome.
What is under your bed?
Those big plastic under-the-bed boxes full of clothes I never wear. Also, occasionally, my cat.
What do you do most often when you're bored?
I have to go withellan_vannin on this one: Post memes, obviously.
