bladespark | If Rahball, at the ripe old age of 25 can take this, I'm certainly old enough to take this.

...Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?
'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'Missed someone?'
'Told someone you loved them?'
'Drank alcohol?'...

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
My student loan. I'm still ahead of my payments, so the bill always comes with zero due, so I always have to argue with myself about actually paying any, but I really do need to get it paid off asap.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Hmmm... There was the Cornucopia place last week, dunno how romantic that really was, but it's the last time we were at a restraunt.

3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
No comment.

4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
Oh man... Most of my life I'm pretty happy to have lived out as I did, mostly because changing the screwups would remove some of the best bits too. There is one thing with keeping a secret that I shouldn't have kept though, which I do regret because it hurt somebody else before all coming out in the open, and it wouldn't have if I'd spoken up.

5. Name your first grade teacher?
No clue. I don't hang onto the past much, and I'm lousy with names.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Well, I'd like to be sitting her goofing off just like I am now, only without the crappy day I just had and the pile of work I have to do tomorrow...

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
An artist!

8. How many colleges did you attend?
Two, Sothern Utah University and Weber State University.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
I own it because I worked at Treehouse, I picked it up today because it was on top of the pile.

10. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
Annoying, but mostly because of the reasons behind the rise and fall, the price itself isn't half as bad as it could be if you look at say, England.

11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would it be?
Ooooo, hard one. The urge to move to Canda is there. SanFransisco is a tempting one too. I'd bring along JJ, of course. And the critters.

12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
No alarm. Benefits of being self-meployed.

13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
Ooog. You don't want to know, and I don't want to bring that up again.

14. Favorite style of underwear?
Depends on my mood. 90% of what I own is plain black or white, but when I'm feeling whimiscal I rather like the leopard print satin...

15. What errand/chore do you despise?
Doing the dishes. Ugh. Also cleaning out the catbox isn't that much fun, but I'm doing a needed thing for the keeping of kitties, whereas dishes just don't feel like there's any reward associated with them. I could eat food with my fingers, after all.

16. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
Probably. Or else I'd make costumes and give them away to people I liked.

17. What is your favorite cartoon character?
I don't think I have one. Possibly Hazel from Watership Down, but that's as much the book as the cartoon.

18. Favorite thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Cuddles.

19. Have you found real love yet?
Yep.

20. When did you first start feeling old?
Oh gosh. The first time I attended a younger cousin's wedding. I was... 20? I started feeling ancient when my baby brother got married, which was somewhat more than a year ago now.

21. Favorite 80's movie?
I can't pick just one! But mostly the fantasy stuff, Labrynth, Legend, The Last Unicorn, The Dark Crystal. And the Star Wars stuff, the later two came out in the 80's, after all.

22. Your favorite lunch meat?
Turkey breast. Especially the honey roasted and such ones.

23. What do you get every time you go into Costco/Sams Club?
I get weird random stuff. I have a jumbo jar of artichoke hearts in the fridge which I may never eat, but... jumbo jar of artichoke hearts!

24. Beach or lake?
Beach. There are usually more intersting things in the way of critters and seashells and stuff, plus the sand, and rocks and ocean and all that is really attractive to me. Lakes tend to be muddy, and I've been around them much more, so they don't seem as neat.

25. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Nope. It may no longer be the thing for everybody under the sun, but it'll never be outdated for some folks, including me.

26. Do you own property?
Not unless you count a Windstone collection...

27. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Spending money on frivolous stuff. (Been raised my whole life to pinch pennies. Buying non-necessities always feels so decadent!)

28. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
I don't think there's any I wouldn't want people to find out about, and if there were, would I be mentioning them? But as far as things that most people might not confess to, I love Unico! Even seeing it again as an adult and knowing just how very bad it is, I still like it. I've only ever seen the Puppet one though, I've no idea if I'd like the others. They're hard to find.

29. What's your drink?
Fruit smoothie. Or milk. Or microbrew rootbeer.

30. Cowboys or Indians?
Neither, really. I'd only like them for the horses, and both sides have 'em.

31. Cops or Robbers?
Robbers. They get to have more fun. And I'm a reformed klepto anyhow.

32. Who from high school would you like to run in to?
Dunno. It might be interesting to see what some of them are these days, but also probably depressing, and really I never enjoyed high school much, and haven't kept in touch with anybody at all from then.

33. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
The supposed classic rock station, which still has a classic rock tagline played in between songs, but it tends to be in between current pop hits songs an awful lot, which is sort of annoying, even if I don't mind the songs themselves much, because JJ always changes the station. Also some of the songs themselves suck hugely. Greenday what happened? You were such a good band!

34. Norm or Cliff?
Who?

35. 'The Cosby Show' or 'The Simpsons'?
Neither. (Gee, "funny" family with pasted-on smiles or breeding ground of profoundly juvenile humor? I think I'll go watch the Discovery chanel.)

36. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?
...you know I can't remember his name. This one guy though, who was just a complete twit. If it would result in the same relationship I have with JJ today, also, I would take back ever dating fishy at all, like right from the day I met him at BC '02. But that whole mess is actually indirectly responsible for JJ and I, so I think I'm stuck with it.

37. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
I suppose technically I sit across from JJ, he's across the hall, and the only other person in the house when I'm working. So sure, I like him!

38. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
Hard to say. I've had dinner with Melody Pena, which was awesome. She may not really qualify as famous though. She is within select circles. Mercedes Lackey would be awesome to meet. Also I suppose it would be interesting to have dinner with Johnny Depp, but I would really hope he would turn out to not be one of those guys who's a total twit in person.

39. Indoors or Outdoors?
Indoors. But only if I can go outdoors once in a while.

40. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
For a given value of crashed.

41. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
No.

42. Last book you read for real?
Well, I mostly skimmed over Quag Keep (heavens, I liked this as a teen? It sucks so bad!) so I suppose the last Harry Potter book would be it.

43. Do you have a teddy bear?
Yep. He's in a box somewhere though.

44. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Uhm? Outdoors when camping, I guess. I don't think I've brushed my teeth anywhere really odd.

45. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
The Windstone factory. I've been to SanFran, and most of the national parks there now, and the rest of the state can fall off and drift out to sea in the next earthquake for all I care, really.

46. Do you go to church?
Yep.

47. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
Can I take neither? If I must, career. I'm rather attached to my current relationship.

48. Just how OLD are you?
29

Though it seems that somewhere in the passing along of this meme we lost two questions. I wonder what 49 and 50 were?
