lunadelcorvoI took this 8 years ago - these are my answers from today; some have changed, and a lot have not.
Yet another fun & festive questionnaire.... I don't know why I like these dizzy things so much - maybe I don't have enough people to talk to..... maybe I just like to expound about myself waaaay too much! Anyway, here goes:
LAST PERSON WHO...
Slept in your bed? Me, B, and ( a few days ago) my munchkin.
Saw you cry? Hmmm. Probably B, but maybe the little one.
Made you cry? Aside from music, fiction, or something on TV/DVD,
probably B.
Spent the night at your house? Hubby's sensei came to stay for a weekend of training.
You went to the movies with? B & the niblet; we saw the Avengers
You went to the mall with? My son, I think - it's been a long time.
Yelled at you? B
Sent you an e-mail? Aside from junk mail and newsfeeds, B.
You kissed? My son.
HAVE YOU EVER...
Said "I love you" and meant it? Many times, every day!
Gotten in a fight w/your dog/cat/bird/fish, etc.? Yes, many times, with any or all of my cats; and anyone who has lived with cats wouldn’t bother asking…. (Not gonna even bother changing this one, since I have cats again!)
Been to New York? No.
Been to Florida? Yes, Clearwater/Tampa.
California? Yes. Lived in San Francisco for 8 months, Monterey for almost 2 yeas, nd visited Napa, Berkeley, Davis and San Jose lots. Oh, and went to LA with a boyfriend a couple times years and years ago.
Hawaii? No.
Mexico? No.
China? No.
Canada? No, but I’d love to. (i’ve been to over half of Europe, why doesn’t anyone ask that?)
Danced naked? Yes, but not in public.
Dreamed something really crazy and then it happened the next day? Yes.
Wish you were the opposite sex? Not that I can recall.
Had an imaginary friend? On and off....
RANDOM...
Red or blue? Red, I guess.
Spring or fall? Fall
Are you bored? Often.
Last noise you heard? Grandfather clock chiming the hour.
Last time you went out of the state/province? Other than quick trips over the river to Indiana, 10 days in Panama in early summer. If you mean in country, we went to Chicago in early summer to get the Niblet his passport for that trip.
Things you like in a guy? Funny, intense, a wicked streak a mile wide, intelligent, a little bit arrogant, intuitive, noble, and, yeah, I’m shallow, but I do like em’ hot! I will add that it seems I like them a little broken, and more often than not, utterly unobtainable.
Do you have a crush on someone? Almost constantly.
What book are you reading now? Several – I'm an academic, it's what we do! So, a few on theory, rereading 1984 (teaching it) and Medieval Art (teaching that).
Worst feeling in the world? Things you want to make better with all your being, but still can’t help. And loving someone impossible.
What is the first thing you think when you wake in the morning? What time is it? Can I go back to sleep?
How many rings before you answer? Usually lots, I have almost as much trouble keeping track of phones as I do keys! And I turn it to vibrate for class and forget to turn it back to ring. Daily.
Future daughter's name? "Miracle"
Future son's name? Well, I already have one, but ditto.
Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? Not generally, but every now and then.
If you could have any job you wanted, what would it be? What I am doing now, but with a little more security.stabilty, maybe an office? (Dreaming big, I know!)
Are you a lefty, righty or beambidextrous? Southpaw all the way.
Do you type with your fingers on the right keys? Nope. I am one of the fastest hunt-and-packers you have ever seen. (Just don’t ever let me make that statement out loud…..)
What's under your bed? Oddly, there isn't an 'under' my bed, so, floor.
Siblings? Only child. Lost my a'adoptive' sis a few years ago, and still miss her like mad.
Location? In a liberal city buried in the conservative wastelands, surrounded by far too many Southern Baptists.
College plans? Teach it? Really, been there, done that, got the MA. Naturally, I am now in the process of getting another one (collect them, trade them with your friends!) and of course teaching.
THE EXTRA STUFF...
Do you do drugs? Decongestants are my friends, as are caffeine and chocolate. Otherwise, no.
Do you drink? Sometimes, a bit. Primarily for epicurean reasons, not to get ‘sloshed.’
Who is your best friend? That would be a tie between my son & hubby.
What kind of shampoo and conditioner do you use? I change it often, but right now Organix Morrocan Argan
What are you most scared of? Screwing things up in a way that keeps me from being there for my son. Losing my sense of self.

Do you have a "type" of person you always go after? Not type of person exactly, but i tend to want what i can’t have, so that is who tend to crush on.
Want someone you don't have right now? I'll plead the fifth.
Are you lonely right now? No.
Ever afraid you'll never get married? Since I am married, I guess that woul dbe a ‘No.’ I wasn’t ever really afraid of not being though, before I was…
Do you want to get married? Um, see above.
Do you want kids? I love the one I have, and I would loved another, but likely not now. (MIddle school seems a little late to start adding sibs, eh?)
FAVORITE...
Room in house? Familty room; it's where my desk is, it has my favorite things (books, my pens) and it's where the TV/Xbox is, meaning both the games and the family tend to be here.
