I'm taggingprester_scott, dustthouart, dingodonkey,tenarr, arhyalon, elena23, spiritofjoy, expectare, and kalquessa.
What are your nicknames?
I'm new to the whole getting-a-nickname thing, since my name doesn't really lend itself to that sort of thing. I have, however, recently been dubbed "Babycakes", which amuses me to no end. :D
How do you style your hair?
With root lifter, a round brush, and a sense of dread. *Pleeease fluff up? Just a little? I realize that curls are out of the question , but even a vague waviness is a great improvement.*
What's the last book you read?
Canticle of Canticles, in RSV this time. It's a book . . . it says so at the beginning. *pouts* The last full-size book I read was one on how to make knitted sweaters end up the way you imagined they ought to be, rather than slavishly following pattern directions and being disappointed. (Can you tell I forgot the title?) The last novel I read was "Brother Odd" by Dean Koontz.
I've been having a lot of trouble with reading lately. Either I don't want to do it at all anymore, or I pick something up, read about 25 pages and never pick it up again. I have a whole bookshelf full of tomes with markers 25 pages in.
What colour shirt are you wearing now?
I'm wearing my Slytherin-striped hoodie. I didn't realize that I would be recording this for posterity in a meme.
Are you an introvert or extrovert?
An introvert that occasionally considers thinking a type of performance art.
Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?
Internet Explorer.
Do you nap a lot?
I aspire to nap more than I do. My cat likes to join me in team napping.
Who was the last person you hugged?
My daughter, when I dropped her off at school.
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Aranzi Aronzo and their cute things. I am reliably informed that girls need cute things or they'll die. You don't want me to die, do you?
Also, dyeing and spinning yarn. It's a lot fun to dye the roving and then see how the colors will move and swirl together in the finished yarn.
What was the last thing you ate today?
Coffee bean fragments. The filter in the coffee maker folded in again, so this morning my coffee is the "pulpy" kind.
How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
About ten minutes longer than I think it could possibly take if I have to get daughter ready as well. Not that she can't do it herself, and pretty quickly if she's in the mood; my part is to encourage her to develop a sense of urgency at increasing levels of volume and panic.
If it's just me, a half hour less than expected, so I can get a little knitting done. Unless I fail to look at the clock in time, and find that I'm ten minutes late again.
Pirates or ninjas?
If these types of questions are not asked, the internet *will collapse*!!
Pirates! I have a theory that if a ninja was faced with a pirate, he would either get shot a la "Indiana Jones", or simply wilt like everybody in a "Pepe LePew" cartoon.
What's the last movie you watched?
"Barbie and the Diamond Castle". I haven't actually watched it all the way through. My daughter watches stuff over and over again, so I wander in and out, get food, do spinning/knitting, etc., confident that one day I will have watched the whole thing.
Do you like to clean?
No. I want a "Merry Maid". :P
What time is your usual bedtime?
Around 10 p.m. I'm supposed to be getting up at 5:30 a.m. Ish.
What kind of mp3 player do you have?
I don't. I'm not even sure I could identify one in a line-up of random appliances.
What is your favourite weather?
Bright enough to be cheerful, but cool enough to wear a cute jacket. Fall's usually good for that.
How are you?
Better in some ways. Broken in some different places for now.
Where would you see yourself in ten years?
Poolside with a gin and tonic, and ten pounds lighter.
