Here are the rules - post this list on your [whatever] replacing my answers with yours.

48 Questions.

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
The mother of God ("in one religion" - Eddie Izzard); and my father.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Ugh. Probably in Ikea. Though I almost cried during Up. The little old people remind me too much of my maternal grandparents.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
It's fine.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVO(U)RITE LUNCH MEAT?
Turkey, probably.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
No.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
This is a silly question.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Nevar!

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Maybe ... it would depend on the circumstances.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVO(U)RITE CEREAL?
Cocoa Puffs are pretty great, but I never eat them. I've been stuck on Kashi for a long time.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Not if I can help it.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVO(U)RITE ICE CREAM?
Chocolate chip is my usual standby. Sweet cream is good. So is coconut. None of the flavors with chunks of fruit in it, however (coconut flakes are different and more in a chocolate/vanilla category in my mind); fruit mixed into things grosses me out to no end.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Posture.

15. RED OR PINK?
Oh, I like Kat's answer. "Crimson."

16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVO(U)RITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
My introversion. [...]

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
The artists in my life. I never get to see them anymore.

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLETE THIS LIST?
No, I don't care that much.

19. WHAT COLO(U)R PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Dark-wash denim and black with silver embroidery.

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
Last.fm -- "Dirty Business" - The Dresden Dolls

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
I'd be a clump of those mistreated crayons that they melt into cupcake papers in the oven.

23. FAVO(U)RITE SCENTS?
Anything that comes off clean pleases me. Sickly sweet things stay away!

24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
I have no idea. I don't really use my phone for vocal conversations. Mayor Thomas M. Menino left a message on my voice mail the other day in promotion of the AIDS Walk--but I didn't talk to him.

25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
Yeah, Kat's the best!

26. FAVO(U)RITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Um. No. I don't care.

Light brown/dirty blonde.

28. EYE COLO(U)R?
Gray-blue.

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Sometimes, but not often.

30. FAVO(U)RITE FOOD?
Junk, pizza ... I've lately had a return of my yen for wasabi peas, though they make me feel ill shortly after eating them.

31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
I am a film junkie and can be easily pleased by both of these things.

32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
House of Wax (the Vincent Price version).

33. WHAT COLO(U)R SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
A purple T-shirt over a black camisole.

34. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Summer.

35. HUGS OR KISSES?
This depends on who's doing the hugging/kissing. Most of the time I don't want people touching me.

37. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
Oh, I have no idea, as I'm not going to be tagging anyone--but feel free to do it, if you wish.

38. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
(Ditto. Sort of.)

39. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
A few different ones, but Wuthering Heights is the one I have with me (by virtue of the Stanza application on my iPhone).

40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
I don't have, nor do I need, a mouse pad. My mouse operates with a laser, not a roller ball.

41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
I didn't watch any actual television last night. I watched Secret Window on DVD when I got home, and then used the Netflix Instant Queue to watch House of Wax.

42. FAVO(U)RITE SOUND(S).
Music. Rain. The ocean. I don't know--the peaceful sounds you hear when there aren't any people around.

43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
My answer will change on any given day, and sometimes I'll probably say: "Neither."

South Island, New Zealand
