beansideirae, because... hey, why not?
1. What curse word do you use the most? Depends on context. Usually "crap," "dammit," or "frag."
2. Do you own an iPod? I have an MP3 player, yes. Well, an old one that I don't really use anymore. And a PSP with a good number of songs loaded on it. But no, I have not followed the sheep and gotten one of Apple's overhyped feature-free security shackled devices.
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most? Probablyksarasara.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to? The current time. That's what clocks are for. I don't use the alarm feature. My sleep is way too screwed up for that.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed? No, but I'm guessing it was one of my parents. On the cheek. When I was a few months old.
6. Do you remember where you were on 11/9/01? Assuming this is Sept 11 in Euro format. (Have to admit that Day/Month/Year makes a certain amount of sense. Although we do write Month Day, Year.) And yeah, I was at home. I remember waking up, checking my email, seeing a message from school saying that classes would continue as normal since there was no indication that campus was being targeted, wondering what the heck they were talking about, stumbling downstairs, and then staring confused and bleary at the picture on the TV that Mom was trying to show me.
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture? Take. I don't like pictures of myself. Family trait, though not uncommon in general, I think.
8. What was the last movie you watched? Ratatouille.
9. Do any of your friends have children? Yes.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy? Well, Mom has said it from time to time, but usually in a teasing way.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep? I tried a bunch of them, but the few that had any effect at all just made things worse.
12. What cd is currently in your cd player? CD player? I vaguely recall having such a device. Haven't seen it in ages.
13. Do you prefer chocolate or plain milk? Chocolate. To the point that plain milk just tastes odd now.
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week? I'm afraid that's classified information.
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks? I admit that I have, despite my principles, purchased a brewed beverage from the Evilest Coffee Shop On Earthtm. I think the last time was end of last summer.
16. Can you whistle? Yes. I used to be able to do it on the inhale as well as the exhale. Could even switch back and forth every few notes, keeping a continuous tune. But I got out of practice and lost the knack.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Depends on the person. Different things jump out at you with different people, you know?
18. What are you looking forward to? Erm... Oh, got a package coming soon. Got the Cafepress stuff figured out. Orded it on Monday. Got a tracking number today, but it hasn't actually shipped yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child? Still do!
20. Do you own any band t-shirts? Nope.
21. What will you be doing in one hour? Hopefully sleeping. Probably with this meme half-done, the rest saved for later.
22. Is anyone in love with you? I don't believe so.
23. What was the last song you heard? My niece was singing Frere Jaques a little while ago.
24. Last time you cried? I don't remember. Not something I do very often, even when I feel really down.
25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop? Laptop.
26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos? Nope. Never have, doubt I ever will. Besides, being diabetic means I have enough needles in my life, thank you very much.
27. What’s the weather like? It's been blazing hot, but the rain seems to have temporarily brought the temp down. Hopefully, that'll keep for a while.
28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos? I'm reluctant to say "never," but let's just say it's not particularly likely.
29. What did you do before this? I was reading downstairs. Should have been enjoying my niece's company, but I haven't been feeling well today. My head wasn't quite prepared for an energetic two-year-old.
30. When is the last time you slept on the floor? Uhm... did it in a sleeping bag from time to time when I was a kid. No idea when the last time was.
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function? Usually at least 9.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily? No. Sometimes I eat it at night. Me and my wacky schedule...
33. Are your days fast-paced? ... No.
34. What did you do last night? Slept?
35. Do you use sarcasm? Who, me? Wax sarcastic? Naaaah. :-p
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday? 30. Jeez. Thanks for reminding me.
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar? I was raised to be. Sometimes, I manage to let it go, but that doesn't always stop the little editor voice from muttering in the background. That's for grammar, though. A touch of dyslexia, a poor rote memory, and a very slow language processing center combine to make sure that I don't pay too much attention to spelling. Generally, I skim a little, getting just enough of each word to make an educated guess before moving on to the next. Unless, of course, I'm specifically working on editing something.
38. Have you ever been to Six Flags? Yeah. Used to get season tickets when I was a kid. Not too far from here, I enjoyed it, and my parents liked the exercise I got from running all over the place.
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex? *Checks flist* There's one male there. Hmmm. Tough question.
40. Do you like mustard? No.
41. Do you sleep on your side? Generally, yeah. Always fall asleep on my side. I think I tend to wake up on my side, too.
42. Do you watch the news? I watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I read Doonesbury and The Onion (which, surprisingly enough, sometimes has tidbits of real news). I avoid everything else as best I can. Too much of it gets me upset over things I have no control over.
43. How did you get one of your scars? The one on the back of my thigh is from when I was about three. I was in the play area in the back of the local YMCA. (Mom used to work with a local orginization who coordinated with the Y, which meant regular stops - weekly, I think. She'd go in for a few minutes and I'd play with the kids in the back yard.) There was a little riding toy there. A plastic car you could sit on and scootch along with your legs. Kind of like this:
I don't remember how it came up, but I told one of the kids that I thought I could jump it. He didn't think I could. I looked at it again. I was pretty sure it was doable. So, of course, I had to prove it. I got a running start, jumped, cleared the seat... and caught my leg on the edge of the handle (or maybe it was a steering wheel on that one). If I'd jumped an inch over to the side, I'd probably have been just fine. But, instead, the edge of the handle cut a long gash in the back of my leg. Nice thick scar a few inches long is still there.
And, since I'm thinking back to those days... bonus story! Different day, same YMCA yard. I was playing ball with a couple of the other kids when a wild shot hit some older kids (five-year-olds, maybe) off in the corner of the yard. As the one responsible, I was sent to retrieve the ball. There were three of them there, towering over me. The one who'd been hit by the ball looked at me.
"Did you do that by mistake or on purpose?"
I thought about that. I was confused. I'd never heard the word "purpose" before, and that threw me.
"Well? By mistake or on purpose?"
Three of them. Big guys. Off in the corner of the yard, where the adult (or were there two?) nominally in charge of the whole group wouldn't be likely to see. And his tone made it clear that I had better answer soon and answer right. Panicked, I did my best to think it through: "I know what a mistake is. And it was an accident. But is purpose better or worse? I have to get this right. Hmm. Well... purpose rhymes with circus, and a circus is fun. Rhyming doesn't really mean anything, but it's the best I have..."
"Tell me! By mistake or on purpose?"
"On... purpose?"
I waited, watching him carefully. If I'd answered wrong...
"Heh. Good for you. Here you go."
44. Who was the last person to make you mad? Hmm. Not sure. Probably this one jerk on this one message board. (Not L&C.) Not worth dwelling on, though.
45. Do you like anybody? I like lots of people. I'm a darned nice guy.
46. What is the last thing you purchased? Just ordered some dog food online. Thrilling, I know. But the new brand is harder to find locally than I'd thought. The stores that carry it around here don't seem to stock very much.
47. What side of the heart do you draw first? Usually left. If I'm drawing from the bottom. If I'm drawing from the top, though, I do the right first.
48. Can you dive without plugging your nose? Well, I'd hope so. Should have both hands on the wheel, and... oh. There's no r. NM. I don't think I ever learned to properly dive, truth to tell. Tried a few times, I think, back when I was a kid. Mostly did cannonballs, though. A couple of belly flops here and there. Or, more commonly... the stairs. Come to think of it, though, I have jumped in feet first a few times, for various reasons. And no, I don't have to hold my nose to do that.
49. What colour is your razor? I don't have one. And if I did, it wouldn't have a colour. :p
50. What is your blood-type? AB+. Universal reciever. Which disappointed me when I first learned it because I like to be generous. By the time I got old enough to donate, though (not to mention experienced enough with diabetes to get over my thing with needles), I realized that it probably wasn't a good idea. Too many screwed-up things going on with my body to risk donating.
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours? Assuming we're talking about being, say, handcuffed together... Robin Williams. He'd make it fun. And we wouldn't have to fight about which bathroom to use.
52. What is a rumor someone has spread about you? Uhm... I don't know. Who'd spread a rumor about me? Well, probably a few people. But I wouldn't be likely to hear about it.
53. How do you feel about carrots? They're nice. Crunchy, sweet. Nice color. Some vitamins and stuff. I like 'em.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table? Six at the one in the kitchen. We don't actually use the dining room more than a few times a year.
55. Which is the best Spice Girl? Cumin. Oh, wait... not an official member, and not a girl. I don't know. I guess I'll go with Ginger. Wasn't much for Posh or Sporty, and I don't remember the other two.
EDIT: Remembered on Day Three, but forgot to update. The other two are Scary and Baby. So I remember all five. Wow. That is scary. Anyway... Scary isn't my type. Baby was nice. Probably my second favorite, even if others have done the "bubblegum blonde" look better, and even if bubblegum blondes aren't generally my thing. Nice to look at, but... *shrug* Anyway, more than you wanted to know, I'm sure.
56. Do you know what time it is? About midnight. Should be sleeping by now.
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song? Not even close. Actually, I can't even remember the tune.
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator? Error: Insufficient data. Who else is in the elevator? What's going on? Why is it stuck? Is anyone in imminent need of something? I guess, in general, I'd call for help, then wait. Try to keep everyone else calm and entertained. Or something. Of course, if it was just me and, say, a young Kim Bassinger, well...
59. What’s your favourite kind of gum? I don't chew a lot of gum. Carefree's okay. Sugar-free Bazooka can be nice, every once in a while. Oh, and Bubble Tape was fun. Oh... but my favorite, back when I was a (non-diabetic) kid was Big League Chew.
60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war? False. Love, more than anything, ought to play nice. And nothing is fair about war.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone? Not at the moment. "Find attractive and enjoy her company," yes. "Crush," not really.
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning? What an odd question. I don't think so. I mean, how would you know how to use it correctly if you didn't know what it meant? ... Oh, wait. Strike that. I do have a few, I guess. Jabberwok, vorpal, and frumious bandersnatch.
63. Do you like to sleep? ... Yes. Actually, that's a good idea. I'll leave the rest of this for tomorrow. Wow. Don't think I've ever dragged a meme out for three days before.
64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time? Arizona and parts of a couple others. I could look it up, but I'm not sure offhand.
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart? I've heard it a few times. I know the chorus. Not the whole song, though.
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang? No thanks. I'm happy with the car I have.
67. What’s something you’ve always wanted? To be happy.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS? No.
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake? No.
70. Do you wear a lot of black? No.
71. Describe your hair ? No.
72. Do you have Entomophobia? No.
73. Are you an adult? No. (Not unless I have to be.)
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)? Scattered about...
75. Do you have a tan? No.
76. Are you a television addict? No. (I used to be, but now there are only a few shows I watch.)
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother? Usually.
78. Are you a sugar freak? No.
79. Do you like orange juice? Sure, it's okay.
80. What sign are you? "Soft Shoulder." ... Or, fine. If you must... Gemini.
Whew. Done. Finally. Can't believe that took three days. Hopefully, it'll take less to read...
beansideirae, because... hey, why not?1. What curse word do you use the most? Depends on context. Usually "crap," "dammit," or "frag."
2. Do you own an iPod? I have an MP3 player, yes. Well, an old one that I don't really use anymore. And a PSP with a good number of songs loaded on it. But no, I have not followed the sheep and gotten one of Apple's overhyped feature-free security shackled devices.
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most? Probably
ksarasara.4. What time is your alarm clock set to? The current time. That's what clocks are for. I don't use the alarm feature. My sleep is way too screwed up for that.

As for 80...
There was a question on The Dating Game years back. Don't know if you ever watched that, but it was still big when I was a kid. They used to come up with the ____est questions. I want to say "dumbest," but that doesn't really describe. And they weren't all dumb. Just... I dunno. The kind of questions a bunch of people would come up with because they thought it'd make good TV rather than because it was remotely like what anyone would actually ask. (I'm sure they had staff writers to come up with this stuff, and the contestants just read them off the cards.)
Anyway, one of the questions they used this one time was "If you were a road sign, what sign would you be?" (See what I mean about the questions?) The guy answered "Slippery When Wet." The audience made appropriate "wooo!" sounds, which made the guy realize what he'd just implied. "No, no! Wait! I just meant that I like water sports. You know, waterskiing and stuff..."
I thought it was an interesting question and tried to figure out what I'd have answered. Couldn't come up with anything for a while, but it wasn't much later that I saw an ad on the USA Network. They were promoting themselves using street signs. You'd see a sign that said "Dangerous Curves" and then a couple seconds' worth of, say, "La Femme Nikita." Followed, perhaps, by "Slippery When Wet" and a couple seconds of "Baywatch." One of the signs was "Soft Shoulder," followed, of course, by a close-up of one of their female stars baring her shoulder. I'd never actually seen a "Soft Shoulder" sign (parents explained that it meant the shoulder of the road was unusually narrow, so there was little to no space to pull over in an emergency), but, remembering the Dating Game question, I decided that that was my answer. If I was a street sign, I'd be "Soft Shoulder" - something for friends and loved ones to lean on.
Hadn't thought of that in ages, but when it asked me what my sign was, that's what popped to mind. Seemed a much better answer than some stupid meaningless astrological sign.
