1. Can you cook? I can, if I put my mind to it, but I don't enjoy it...and so I don't.
2. What was your dream growing up? I wanted to be either an astronaut or a writer. Given that my feet are planted firmly on the ground, you can figure out which dream came true.
3. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could conjure money out of thin air.
4. Favorite place? Montreal or Boston, I think. Ooh or Berkeley. Or the bookstore after closing, with the lights turned off and the music turned up. Or my own couch, late at night, with a book.
5. Favorite vegetable? Okra. Yum.
6. What was the last book you read? The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster (very good).
7. What zodiac sign are you? Sagittarius.
8. Any tattoos and/or piercings? Two tattoos (a rune on my left wrist and the wheel off the Roma flag on my upper left calf).
9. Worst habit? Worrying too much about things I can't change.
10. Do we know each other outside of lj? Nope.
11. What is your favorite sport? I can't play sports to save my life...but I've been enjoying watching baseball over the last year or so.
12. Negative or optimistic attitude? I have the odd bad day but optimistic, for the most part.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Challenge you to a punning contest!
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? I could say being laid-off but...despite the stress and having to look for new work, it was good for me in the long run. So we'll go with...the Ex-Boyfriend. He did more damage to me than I ever realized at the time.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you: I have synaesthesia.
16. Do you have any pets? Yup, I have a Siberian husky named Rowen, and two cats named Bonny and Reilly.
17. Do you know how to do the macarena? Noooooooo.
18. What time is it where you are now? 11:47am.
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Vaguely creepy.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? Probably something simple like drop a few pounds.
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Crime partner, of course!
22. What color eyes do you have? Greenish-blueish-greyish.
23. Ever been arrested? Nope.
24. Bottle or draft? Draft, please.
25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it? I'd pay off my student loans and Visa card...and go shopping with what was left.
26. What kind of bubblegum do you prefer to chew? I'm not really a big fan of bubblegum, actually...though sometimes I get a taste for peppermint.
27. What's your favorite bar to hang at? I don't actually hang out at bars...but in terms of going someplace to get a drink, I like a place called the Urban Well here in Ottawa.
28. Do you believe in ghosts? I like the idea but I don't really believe in it.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Watch movies or read.
30. Do you swear a lot? I swear more now than I ever did before, yup.
31. Biggest pet peeve? Cruelty of any form.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself? MostlyHarmless.
33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? Maaaaybe...I'll have to look and see if I've done any memes recently, first. (I'm trying to keep them to about one a week from now on...I get out of control with them.) ;)
