01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?

Yes. But I could go for another. ;) (Simultaneously.)

02) What was your dream growing up?

To be a comic book writer/artist.

03) What talent do you wish you had?

Be able to write.

04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?

Oh... Hot chocolate with rum? A Dark N' Stormy? Or even just a straight rum, Kraken for preference. :)

05) Favorite vegetable?

Asparagus, at the moment. I might be sick of it tomorrow, though.

06) What was the last book you read?

I think the last one I finished was "One Of Our Thursdays Is Missing" by Jasper Fforde. I'm still reading "The Yellow Admiral" (Patrick O'Brian) with mandc_read, "The Stainless Steel Rat" (Harry Harrison) - that's a reread, but from when I was a kid - and "The Practice Effect" (David Brin, I think) - that's my reading-in-the-bath pulp. :)

07) What zodiac sign are you?

Leo

08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.

None. I'm going to be the only old lady in the old folks home with no tattoos.

09) Worst Habit?

Reading too much slash and not doing anything else with my copious spare time.

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?

If I knew it was you. :) Last time I started to offer a random woman walking a ride I realized she was yelling to herself, and I changed my mind.

11) What is your favorite sport?

Pointing and laughing.

12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?

Optimistic, considering how horrible the world is.

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?

Tell you about all my dreams where the elevator drops. ;)

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?

"I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven's knows I'm miserable now." (I can't pass up a chance for a random Smith's quote.) Nothing particularly bad has ever happened to me, I've lived a very uneventful life.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.

I'm not in the least bit weird. I'm poly and bi and like to sleep with my feet sticking out and my head covered up, but I'm sure there's thousands of other people like me in those respects.

16) Do you have any pets?

Only Eor. And he has a job, so I'm not sure he counts.

17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?

I'd invite you in and ask you if you wanted some tea. :)

18) What was your first impression of me?

That you were smart and a dedicated worker.

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?

Neither or either.

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?

I'd make my eyes line up and track together.

Oh oh, I'm 700 characters over. Split comment time...

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?

I'd prefer to be you partner in crime, but unfortunately would more likely be your conscience because, although I like to joke and speculate, I do tend to always think about the Right Thing To Do before I do anything.

22) What color eyes do you have?

Brown.

23) Ever been arrested?

Haven't made that milestone, no. (My brother managed it on his 40th birthday at like 4am, so made it in under the wire as he was born at 4:30AM.)

24) Bottle or can soda?

Bottle. Preferably with a screwtop so I can save it for later; I hate drinking a whole soda all at once.

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?

Probably something boring like put it toward my mortgage, because I always try to think of the Right Thing To Do.

26) What's your favorite place to hang out at?

My home. Oh alright... Coffee By Design up in the LL Bean main store.

27) Do you believe in ghosts?

Not. at. all. *looks around* But I know there are more things on Heaven and Earth...

28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?

Read slash fanfic.

29) Do you swear a lot?

I think I do, but coworkers are always surprised by it, so maybe I save it for important enough occasions.

30) Biggest pet peeve?

Rudeness. But that's how I classify most anything that annoys me. Maybe women who pee on the seat when they could just as well put it up out of the way.

31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?

Marsh-mellow.

32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?

I do! But not the serial type. The ongoing kind, based on mutual trust and friendship.

33) Favourite and least favourite food?

Most kinds of food are my favorite, starting with Indian curry and heading on through Thai curries and into Chinese food. Cumin is my favorite spice. But I guess my tacos, which I make at least once every week, must be my most favorite.

Least favorite is harder, because I'll eat almost anything if it's in the right dish. Cilantro, though, tastes like soap.

34) Do you believe in God?

No more than ghosts. But again, there's no way I can know. (And I don't ascribe to any religion because I think it's utmost hubris for humans to think they can understand what God would want from them.)

35) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?

Maybe. :)
