And now, a meme of random questions, which I got from aiela , who got it from kshandra , who found it on a dusty scroll in an ancient tomb’s gift shop.
If I looked on your bed right now, what would I find?
A pile of crumpled covers, and quite likely a black cat.
Do you go to the bathroom with the door open or closed?
It depends. No one in our house is shy, so I don’t think much on it one way or the other.
Are your clothes ironed?
Not typically.
Sleep on your back or stomach?
Ever since I got the CPAP, on my back. However, without the CPAP, I cannot sleep on my back at all, so for years I slept on my side or my stomach.
Are you a cuddler?
Oh yes. I love to cuddle.
Are you single?
Well, there’s only one of me. This is probably just as well; can you imagine two of me?
Does someone love you?
Several someones love me. I am blessed beyond words.
What were you doing before this survey?
Well, let’s see. First, I was born, and then several years of being an infant followed. Later, I was a child…at some point I went to college. It’s all a bit of a jumble at this point.
What will you do after the survey?
More of the same sort of thing, I imagine. I really don’t expect this to change my life much.
Marriage or living together?
We decided to do both. Being married and living apart would kinda suck.
What shirt are you wearing now?
A blue Geoffrey Beene dress shirt, with the gold and blue tie that goes well with it.
Do you believe in love?
Oh, you can bet I believe it too.
Do you de-label your beer bottles?
Is this like taking the labels off all the canned vegetables, so you never know what you’re having for dinner?
Do you talk about your feelings or hide them?
Mostly I talk about them. People likely wish I’d hide them more often.
Is there something you regret and wish you could take back?
There are many things I regret. But most of the things I regret taught me valuable things, or else moved me to be in a place for later brilliant things to happen. So I’m a bit hesitant to suggest I’d like to take them back.
In retrospect, I don’t regret the things I’ve done nearly as much as the things I didn’t do.
First thing you do when you wake up?
Curse loudly.
What are you excited for?
I’m just really happy to see you.
Do you like the beach?
Without it, we’d all be underwater, and I can’t breathe underwater. what’s not to like?
Who’s the last person you texted?
museinred
Do you hate someone?
No. Life’s too short.
Do you tend to rip the paper off water bottles?
I don’t think the clerks at the store would appreciate that. Even if bottled water *is* a scam.
When you shut off your alarm clock, do you tend to fall back asleep?
My alarm clock is kitanzi , so I don’t ever shut her off. I do sometimes fall asleep again, though.
If you were given the chance to take care of a monkey for a weekend, would you?
My monkey is the only one who has nothing to hide, other than myself.
What is the current advertisement on the side of the screen?
There isn’t an advertisement on the side of my screen.
What are you looking forward to in the next few months?
February, followed by March and April. Then we should probably have a May before going on to June.
When will you turn 50?
June 25, 2020.
Are you ticklish?
At times, in places.
Where do you wish you were right now?
Resting in the arms of a pretty girl.
What song are you currently listening to?
"Beautiful Ones" by Suede
Have you ever passed out from drinking?
Yes, but very rarely. I don’t tend to drive to excess. (ETA: that should have read "drink to excess." Hrm. Maybe I should *start*.)
Do you believe in cheating?
No, I believe in changing the rules of the game.
What time did you wake up this morning?
Around 6:00am
Do you have any cousins?
I have several. I have four first-cousins on my mother’s side, and I know I have one or more on my father’s. I see none of them regularly, which is too bad.
What makes you smile?
A ’52 Vincent and a red-headed girl.
Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
My doctor’s office.
Are you happy?
Yes, and I know it. *claps his hands*
Are you hungry?
I’m halfway through my sandwich, so less and less by the moment.
What was your dream last night?
I’m afraid that is not suitable for a public blog entry.
Do you like to shop?
No particularly. I like buying things, but that’s not the same thing.
What side of the heart do you draw first?
Whichever side is closest to me. You get the same amount of blood.
Can you dive without plugging your nose?
I actually misread this as "Can you drive without plugging your nose?", which made me wonder where on Earth this survey’s author lives. I mean, I thought the smog in Atlanta was bad…
What color is your razor?
What colour is my what? I have no idea what you are talking about. (The only razor I use on a regular basis is Occam’s. You’ll have to ask him what colour it is.)
What is your blood-type?
I think it’s A+. I’d have to find my little card to be sure.
Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Goodness. Um…"I’m afraid that is not suitable for a public blog entry."
What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
Why? What have you heard?
How do you feel about carrots?
I’m not sure I feel anything about them. I think they’re tasty, and I enjoy eating them, but it’s not like we have a relationship…
How many chairs are at the dining room table?
Three at the moment.
Which is the best Spice Girl?
I could be happy the rest of my life with a cinnamon girl.
Do you know what time it is?
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
