Although work shall follow soon after. Gakked from debg

Welcome to the 2008 edition of getting to know your Friends! Change all the answers so that they apply to you. ADD ANOTHER QUESTION TO THE LIST.

1. What is your occupation?

Writing, child wrestler, dog petter

2. What color are your socks right now?

White. Cotton, ankle length crew. Yeah, I'm boring.

3. What are you listening to right now?

Kate Voegele's Don't Look Away CD

4. What was the last thing that you ate?

Penne ala Vodka with peas, prosciutto, and shaved Parmesan. Crusty bread. Mint crisp M&Ms

5. Can you drive a stick shift?

Oh yeah.

6. Last person you spoke to on the phone?

Hm... probably the hub last night on his way home from work.

7. How old are you today?

Forty.

8. What is your favorite sport to watch?

On television, college football, figure skating; live, nothing like going to a baseball game.

9. Have you ever dyed your hair?

Yep. Nothing too outlandish although there was that unfortunate experiment with highlights that went brassy.

10. Favorite food?

Cheese.

11. What was the last movie you watched?

Dead Again

12. Favorite day of the week?

Hm... usually Sundays. We've always had a tradition of those being very lazy, do whatever you want sorts of days and there's a certain peacefulness that comes with that.

13. How do you vent anger?

Depends on the circumstance. If it's a "You've annoyed me" sort of sudden anger, I vent with yelling (or ranting on my blog). If it's something that's long fuse oriented, I tend to go cold, the angrier I am, the colder I go.

14. What was your favorite toy as a child?

This electric blue hideous stuffed critter, akin to a hippo that I won at one of the midway games at the Dade County Youth Fair when I was a kid. His name was George.

15. What is your favorite season?

Fall. I like the sense of everything closing down on itself. It's also the season for my sports to begin.

16. Cherries or Blueberries?

Echoing Deb, mmmmm, blueberries....

17. Who is the most likely to respond?

Not a clue

18. Who is least likely to respond?

Ditto.

19. What is on the bottom of your closet? Shoes. The odd skeleton or two.

Sneakers, a stool to help me reach the top shelves of my closet.

20. What did you do last night?

Worked on the new story, played around with the playlist, watched NUMB3RS.

21. Favorite smells?

Vanilla; garlic, onion, green peppers cooking in Spanish olive oil; fresh sea air

22. What inspires you?

Music, my surroundings

23. What are you most afraid of?

Literally? Snakes are NOT on my happy list. Metaphorically, failure, that I won't reach my highest potential, that if I do, I won't be able to enjoy it.

24. Plain cheese, or spicy hamburgers?

Black and bleu. Seared hamburger, medium rare, with bleu cheese and grilled onions.

25. What celebrity would you most like to meet?

Hm... there are a couple I'd love to meet if only so I could smack them upside the head. With a 2x4. Other than that, I don't like meeting celebrities, I like meeting interesting, talented people. And there are quite a few of those who happen to have achieved recognition in their respective fields and whom I'd love to speak to from that standpoint.

26. If you knew you had 30 days to live, what would you do with your time?

Go live in a house on the beach with my family and pets.

27. All-time favorite cartoon?

Animated? Classic WB cartoons. Print comic strip? Bloom County.

28. Favorite spiritual place to go when your soul needs renewal?

Either my bedroom or the beach on the edge of the ocean. One of these days, I'll have a bedroom that opens right onto the ocean.

29. Favorite mode of transportation?

Driving. I like the control and freedom to go where the spirit moves.

30. Instrument(s) you play or wish you could?

I play piano and once upon a time played French horn and trumpet. I also sing. But I always wished I could play classic flamenco/Spanish guitar. No gift for it whatsoever, I'm afraid.
