[1] are you in a complicated relationship?
i'm not sure...so i imagine the answer is yes. i like someone very much. he likes me...how much remains to be seen.
[2] do you hate more than 3 people?
probably. i shouldn't hate...it's not good for the soul. and yet i do.
[3] how many houses have you lived in?
14 homes altogether - only 4 of them were houses.
[4] favorite candy bar?
twix. and those 100 calorie cadbury chocolate mint bars.
[5] what are you currently listening to?
marilyn manson's "lest we forget" album.

are you kidding? i have brothers. not sure a day went by that i didn't trip someone....
[7] least favorite school subject?
gym class.
[8] how many pairs of shoes do you own?
dozens. eight or nine pairs of dress shoes in different colours and eras, hiking boots, winter boots, dress boots, running
shoes, swim shoes, sandals, sneakers...and then there are the costume shoes. and i'm not even a shoe person.
[9] do you own a britney spears cd?
no, but i've bought one for my stepson.
[10] have you ever thrown up in public?
once, when i had the norwalk virus.
[12] favorite genre of music?
absolutely anything and everything, from bach to marilyn manson and everything in between.
[13] what is your zodiac sign?
scorpio
[14] what time were you born?
5:20am.
[15] do you like beer?
do i like beer? no. do i drink beer? yes. and alexander keith's is the best beer on earth, as far as i'm concerned.
[16] have you made a prank phone call?
you know, i'm not sure i have.
[17] what is the most embarrassing cd you own?
air supply's greatest hits. i ordered it years ago in the midst of a dozen albums for a penny, and then got it stuck in my
cd player. i was terrified that i would have to take my player in to be repaired and they would find the air supply album
in it, so i had my then-husband take the player apart with a screwdriver, get the cd out, and then take it in to be repaired.
[18] are you sarcastic?
oh my god, yes.
[19] what are your favorite color(s)?
lime green, fuchsia and orange.
[20] how many watches do you own?
i used to work for a watch manufacturer, so i own about half a dozen of that brand. i have a couple of fancy dress watches
and a chunky, every-day watch, as well as a vintage expo '86 watch. those are in my regular rotation.
[21] summer or winter?
couldn't begin to choose. winter's got snow and christmas, and summer's got camping, road trips and long, long days.
[22] do you love anyone?
well, yeah...there are a couple of people out there that i will always love. if you want to know if i...uh...actively love
someone, no, it hasn't gotten anywhere near that far.
[23] favorite color to wear?
lime green, orange, fuchsia or black.
[24] pepsi or sprite?
usually barq's or coke. occasionally ginger ale.
[25] ever been out of the country?
yes
[26] where is your second home?
anywhere i can find a spot for my tent.
[27] have you ever slapped someone?
once. he informed me that if i ever did it again, he's slap me right back. made sense to me...i always thought men didn't
hit women, but i never gave thought to why women think they should get to hit men.
[28] how many states have you been in?
five.
[29] how many lamps are in your bedroom?
technically, two. i moved my bed under the window, though, and haven't set the second lamp up again since.
[30] how many video games do you own?
ew...none.
[31] what was your first pet?
i don't know if i was born yet when my big brothers had their first dogs. the first pet i remember was my big brother's guinea
pig, squeaky.
[32] ever had braces?
no. i had a retainer on the inside of my lower teeth while my adult teeth were coming in, as there wasn't enough room in my
mouth and the dentist didn't want the gaps closing up before they did. every time i said my name, i'd cut my bloody tongue
on it. to this day, i pronounce my name slightly different than it actually is.
[33] do looks matter?
right after brains. uh...and personality.
[34] do you use chapstick?
carmex. chapstick doesn't work.
[35] what was your favorite class in high school?
algebra. but most of the time i was too busy goofing off to realize how much fun i actually found it.
[36] american eagle or abercrombie?
ew, again...neither.
[37] are you too forgiving?
oh no...i can and have held a grudge forever.
[38] how many children do you want?
my great-aunt just sent me a letter telling me i should just have a hysterectomy since i won't be needing my uterus after
all. i think that means i shouldn't count on any! when i was a kid, i never wanted any...then once i was married, i wanted
five. now i'm on the fence. if i don't get any, i'm sure i'll be fine. if i do...well, under the right circumstances, that'll
be fine too.
[39] do you own anything from hot topic?
oh my god, i own everything from hot topic! they've got the best t-shirts!
[40] favorite breakfast meal?
scrambled eggs with sausage links. for obvious reasons, i don't allow myself to have them very often.
[41] do you own a gun?
there's a closet full of them at my mom's, but i don't imagine any of them will come my way. i've been asking for a daisy
air rifle for christmas, though, like i used to shoot with when i was a kid.
[42] ever thought you were in love?
i've "thought" i was in love and "knew" i was in love. i'm not sure which this is actually asking for.
[43] when was the last time you cried?
the beginning of the semester, when school, life and everything else started to feel completely futile.
[44] what did you do 2 nights ago?
i took a couple of the girls i go to school with on a tour of washington state hot topic stores. i needed pink hair dye,
so they came along to buy clothes and stuff.
[45] been to the olive garden?
once, with my brother-in-law and his wife. i wasn't impressed, but i know other people who like it. we're supposed to be going
there for our graduation lunch next week.
[46] have you ever called your teacher "mom"?
who on earth would do this? you mean by mistake? uh...no.
[47] have you ever been in a castle?
a castle? or a mansion that people call a castle? either way, i've been in both.
[48] nicknames:
my brothers call me ratbag. i plan to put it on a personalized license plate, if icbc will let me.
[49] do you know anyone named bertha?
i don't think so. i have a distant cousin named berna, but no bertha.
[50] ever been to kentucky?
no, but i've had their fried chicken.
[51] do you own something from banana republic?
no
[52] are you thinking about somebody right now?
yes, as a matter of fact. i think about him a lot, lately.
[53] ever call somebody babe/baby?
i think i've only ever called somebody that out of sarcasm. my ex's best friend and her boyfriend called each other "babe"
all the time and it just about drove him nuts. after that, we did it occasionally as a joke.
[54] how many people have you kissed?
like, really kissed? or like grandparent kissed? if you want "real" kisses, there haven't been that many - i can only come
up with a half-dozen off the top of my head. most men irritate me long before i've reached the point of being interested in
kissing them. actually, that's not true - i was probably interested in kissing them right off, and then they irritated me
to the point where i lost it.
[55] do you own a diamond ring?
my engagement ring has a teeny, tiny diamond chip in it. i think it's a diamond chip, anyway...for all i know, it's a cubic
zirconia. i told rob that i'd kill him if he blew more than $300 on a stupid engagement ring when we had other things to spend
our money on. not very romantic, i guess.
[56] are you happy with your life right now?
nope...not even close.
[57] do you like your hair?
at the moment, very, very much. i just re-dyed the brown part and added a gorgeous dark fuchsia streak in the front. i'm
just sorry i waited so long to do it.
[58] does anyone have a crush on you?
hm...maybe. you'd have to ask him.
[59] any siblings?
three full brothers, one living half-sister and one dead half-sister. the half-sister doesn't know we know about her, though.
[60] what were you doing in may of 1994?
oh my god, i know this one! i was living with rob in an apartment in little italy. he'd just informed me that we were roommates,
rather than boyfriend/girlfriend like i thought, and i took revenge with a one-night stand that i've been trying desperately
to forget ever since.
[61] do you own a backstreet boys cd?
oh! ew! no!
[62] mcdonald's or wendy's?
wendy's, definitely. but only for salads, baked potatoes, chili and the very rare (as in unusual, not raw) burger.
[63] do you like yourself?
i liked myself better before three strokes ate my brain. i'm a bit of a mess, now.
[64] are you closer to your mother or father?
dad died right before my 15th birthday, so it would have to be my mother. while dad and i never got along, i suspect that
we would have done much better as adults. i think he would have been a good guy to go to with a problem. and we have a lot
in common - ghost towns, hank williams, do-it-yourself campers, junk shops, etc.
[65] favorite physical feature of the preferred sex?
the eyes are definitely the best physical feature, although i've developed a weird thing about arms and hands. i don't like
huge muscles, just...i don't know...capable-looking ones. and flawless, girlie hands are just a turn-off.
[66] are you afraid of the dark?
kinda. i'm afraid of the things that happen in the dark, and the little noises you don't usually notice. i'm always terrified
that someone's in my apartment.
[67] have you ever eaten paste?
my mother and i joke about my first apartment, and how all i could afford to eat was flour and water pancakes, but it's not
really true. i've eaten play clay, but never paste.
[68] do you own a webcam?
no. and you folks out there should be grateful.
[69] have you ever stripped?
i can't actually remember. i would imagine so, though no specific incident comes to mind. do you mean professionally or privately?
[70] ever broken a bone?
a couple of ribs, at the canada day concert at thunderbird stadium in 1992. i never did anything about them and to this day
they stick out at an odd angle. whenever i make dresses for myself, i have to make sure there's a little extra room in the
midriff.
[71] are you religious?
i'm a panenthiest. people have differing opinions as to whether that constitutes religion or blasphemy.
[72] do you chat on im often?
never. i find it even more annoying to be tied to a little text box for hours than i do to be stuck on the phone with someone.
[73] pringles or lays?
i never allow myself either. i can devour a whole can of pringles without a second thought, and sour cream & bacon lays should
just be kept as far away from me as possible. i sometimes eat barbecue-flavoured baked lays, though, so i guess lays is the
answer.
[74] have you ever broken someone's heart?
well, my ex-husband wasn't very happy when i announced that i was leaving, but i doubt his heart was actually broken...if
we'd been in love rather than just bored, the marriage would have been more successful.
[75] full house or the brady bunch?
yeucch. the brady bunch, if i have to choose one - at least it's classic. and if you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of
desi arnez jr. when he was still really hot.
[76] own an ipod, mp3 player, cd player?
sony mp3 network walkman. i own a cd walkman, too, but i always thought they were a stupid idea.
[77] did you like your high school guidance counselor?
i never had much to do with him.
[78] has anyone ever called you a tease?
i'm not a tease so much as i have a tendency to blow really hot and cold sometimes. i'm just easily turned off by things.
[79] favorite food?
thai curries - the hotter the better.
[80] do you own a car?
not technically, although my mom's has been in my possession so long that i'm hoping she'll just sell it to me and get a new
one for herself. it's a corolla wagon - great on gas and i can sleep in the back of it.
[81] can you cook?
if i have to. i'm not very adventurous, as a rule, but i can follow a recipe and generally have it work out right.
[82] 3 things that annoy you:
philandering men, screaming children, and vancouver's hosting of the 2010 olympics.
[83] do you text message often?
only to my big brother and my ex-husband. when we get on a roll, the messages fly, but most of the time my cell stays buried
in my purse where it can't bother me.
[84] who was the last person you text messaged?
i have a feeling it was my brother. i don't think i've done any messaging since badgering him for his flight times last week.
[85] oh really?
huh?
[85] do you have any scars?
see the prior question about tripping people. i have three brothers - scars and bruises were par for the course. my favourite
is one on the inside of my right forearm - about an inch long, i got it when my big brother kicked me with his bare feet.
the guy had the longest toenails when we were kids, and took a huge chunk out of my arm. the other large one i have was from
stepping down on a tin can and taking off the outside of my left heel.
[86] what do you want more than anything?
security without strings.
[87] do you enjoy scary movies?
i'm learning to.
[88] relationships or one night stands?
neither have worked very well for me, but i'm particularly abysmal at one-night stands.
[89] big red or juicy fruit?
i hate gum. in two minutes it's lost its flavour and then you're stuck chewing on this lump of goo until you can find a non-offending
way to get rid of it.
[90] do you enjoy greasy food?
aside from an almost catholic-like guilt about eating it, i find it too hard to stomach these days - too many years of watching
my fat-intake. my brothers and i ordered fish and chips the last time glen was in town, and i could barely struggle it down.
[91] have you seen all the rocky movies?
none of them, actually. every once in awhile i wonder if i should see the first one.
[92] do you own a box of crayons?
lots of them...i keep boxes of them and assorted colouring books on my coffee table, for guests.
[93] ever had sex in a public place?
i seem to recall a stop made on a hiking trail, once upon a time. can't remember if it erupted into full-fledged sex or not,
but I don't think so. it seems to me some other hikers came along.
[94] who was the last person that you said "i love you" to?
luke. well...i wrote it in a letter. i couldn't tell you whether or not (a) he got it or (b) he read it.
[96] who was the last person that made you cry?
i haven't cried over anybody since i was married. my best friend died suddenly at the age of 39 last year - does that count
as "making me cry"?
[97] when was the last time you laughed?
while talking to the cashier at hmv last night. that was more "polite" laughter, though. the last time i really laughed
was in class yesterday.
[98] who was the last person to text you?
i would imagine it was my big brother, with those flight times.
[99] who was the last person that called you?
uhhhhh...according to the phone, it was my ex.
[100] when was your last kiss?
again, i presume we're talking about a "real" kiss? that would have been jeff, last august. as of this moment, that was about
seven and a half months ago.
