next_to_normal1.) Are your parents married or divorced?
Married 42 years this month.
2.) Are you a vegetarian?
Nope. I can't eat vegetables. I would die of malnutrition.
3.) Do you believe in Heaven?
Not really, but I'm working against a lot of Catholic conditioning.
4.) Have you ever come close to dying?
My mother has almost killed me several times. I trot out these stories whenever I need a good guilt trip in my favor. (Short version: (1) almost hit by a bus riding on the back of her bicycle as a baby, (2) jumped off the diving board, Mom was supposed to catch me, almost drowned, (3) passed out, Mom tried to catch me and dropped me on the floor)
5.) What jewelry do you wear?
I really like rings. I also sometimes wear earrings, but bracelets get in the way when I'm typing and necklaces give me rashes on my neck.
6.) Favorite time of day?
"For a dreamer, night's the only time of day." (I just rewatched Newsies recently, LOL. Newsies is so great.)
7.) Do you eat the stems of broccoli?
I rarely eat broccoli, period, but on the occasion I do, I generally eat all of it, yes.
8. Do you wear makeup?
Other than lip gloss, not really. Only for special occasions, and even then, only eyeliner, eye shadow, and maybe blush.
9.) Ever had plastic surgery?
No.
10.) Do you color your hair?
Yes, and have for several years due to it being prematurely gray.
11.) What do you wear to bed?
Pajamas.
12.) Have you ever done anything illegal?

Date: Oct. 19th, 2017 12:25 am (UTC)In college, my roommate got shot with a pellet gun (a serial killer in training classmate was SHOOTING people in the quad with a SNIPER RIFLE from his dorm room window), so I went with her to the hospital. I'm not sure the ambulance was entirely necessary, but obviously campus security were involved and it was protocol.
