I have stopped braining myself on the ceiling!! New problem: bed is too far from alarm clock. Suspect it is time for fun with extension cords.

Room fix-ups continue. I have made a nice detailed to-do list, and I'm going to try and knock a sub-item or two out before dinner.

But I want to see your answers too! I suppose I'll have to post it then!

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? No.
02) What was your dream growing up? I think to do something meaningful with my life. I can't remember a more concrete dream than that - though for a while I really really wanted to be an architect.
03) What talent do you wish you had? Language proficiency.
04) If I bought you a drink, what would it be? Tequila sunrise! \o/ Or a good solid Irish beer.
05) Tell me one thing you like about yourself. My intelligence
06) What was the last book you read? Recently finished "Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends", an oral history of two members of Easy Company, the subject of Band of Brothers. So wonderful!
07) What zodiac sign are you? Leo
08) Any tattoos and/or piercings? What and where? (And why, if you'd like to tell.) I have one tattoo on my ankle, parallel to my leg - it says "think happy thoughts". Reasons are multiple: it's a quote from Peter Pan, which I starred in as Wendy and high school and just had the greatest experience. It's also a line from a My Chemical Romance song, and when I got the tattoo, I had just flown from Dublin to London to see them play and they had played that song, which was one of their oldest and my favorite, so that was perfect. It's also just a great sentiment that I try to remind myself of often.
09) Worst habit? Biting my nails :(
10) If you could have any one thing, right now, what would it be? A plane ticket to Dublin
11) What is your favorite sport? Soccer
12) Are you naturally optimistic or pessimistic? Optimistic, I think. Though sometimes it doesn't feel that way.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Pick some songs to do a singalong to!
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you (that you're willing to share here)? Leaving Dublin after 9 months of bliss. I've never cried so hard, ever.
15) Tell me one weird thing about you. I get really stressed out about being a pedestrian. If someone's walking behind me and I can hear them, I seriously get stressed out. Idk.
16) Do you have any pets? My roommate has a cat, the first animal I've really lived with ever.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly? I'd blink and then offer you a couch if you needed it to crash on!
18) What was your first impression of me? Oh man, it's been forever. "Yay another SPN fan!"? Haha.
19) Clowns: Cute or scary? Meh. Don't care much either way, but not cute.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? Honestly, I would like to be skinnier. Otherwise I'm pretty okay with myself.
21) Would you be my partner in crime or my conscience? Haha, um. Conscience, probably.
22) What color are your eyes? Blue!
23) Have you ever been arrested? Lolno.
24) Soda/beer: Bottle or can? Bottle
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Give most to my Dad, as he's unemployed. Perhaps buy a new car (it could cover the deposit and I've got savings for the rest!)
26) What's your favorite place to hang out? My own bedroom. Or my friend Francisco's apartment.
27) Do you believe in ghosts? Nope. I'm a scientist through and through.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? If we're being honest here, watch awesome TV. Sigh. /o\
29) Do you swear a lot? More and more, really. Those damn soldiers and their filthy mouths!
30) Biggest pet peeve? Stupidity and a complete refusal to listen to any reason. AKA the Republican party.
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Smart
32) Do you believe in/appreciate romance? Yes, definitely, and I have never really experienced it. I want to, very much.
33) Favorite and least favorite foods? Hmmmmmmm. That's fucking hard, yo! Favorite in general may be eggs - I love them prepared any which way. Least favorite... I'm not really brave enough to have actually tried things that look unappetizing, so I haven't tasted many awful things!
34) Do you believe in God? Not at all.
35) Are you happy? In general... yes. Recently, no, but the clouds are clearing.

fairlight: I look kind of wistful and smart.  Wow. (contrary.)

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?

I just got married so yes!

02) What was your dream growing up?

Mostly, to get the fuck away from the rest of the Gracens.

03) What talent do you wish you had?

Whatever one I'm most envious of at the moment. Last week I was wishing I had been better at figure skating (read: not sucked), tonight I wished I could sing better.

04) If I bought you a drink, what would it be?

A cosmo or a lemon drop or something of that general nature--I'm especially fond of caipirinhas.

05) Tell me one thing you like about yourself.

You know when people say they wouldn't choose to be queer if they could avoid it? I'm not one of those people. The only thing I don't love about my sexuality is that some people are assholes about it.

06) What was the last book you read?

A textbook. I could tell you about it but I won't bore you.

07) What zodiac sign are you?

Pisces.

08) Any tattoos and/or piercings? What and where? (And why, if you'd like to tell.)

I have a tramp stamp! It says "non serviam" and is of wings. It is actually quite pretty and I got it when I was in my Luciferian fallen angel phase.

09) Worst habit?

Overextending myself and then crashing.

10) If you could have any one thing, right now, what would it be?

I think I would be happiest with my stepmother's obituary, which sounds really mean, but she's hurt a lot of people, not just me, and I'm afraid sometimes that it will never, ever stop.

11) What is your favorite sport?

To do, running, to watch, figure skating. Also, I like to drive as a sport, but I haven't in a while.

12) Are you naturally optimistic or pessimistic?

Optimistic.

13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?

Scare everyone else, probably!

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you (that you're willing to share here)?

Uhhhhhh...pass.

15) Tell me one weird thing about you.

One. Just one? Um. Okay, my sister and I are not twins, but we finish each other's sentences, and we used to sleep in the same bed a lot till they made us stop because I was 11 and she was 13. I read Twilight for her. She read Cyteen for me. I still think she got the better end of that deal, but I did become a fan of sorts, and not in the ironic hipster obnoxious way.

Oh yeah, I'm one of those people that is into Cherryh a lot and uses strange words in every day conversation but in present company that doesn't really qualify as weird.

16) Do you have any pets?

I have a Himalayan cat, the Fluffy Bastard.

17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?

I would probably squee and feed you. After I got my husband calmed down :)

18) What was your first impression of me?

That you were kind of adorable.

19) Clowns: Cute or scary?

Neither, just kind of ugly and stupid.

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?

Definitely taller.

21) Would you be my partner in crime or my conscience?

LAAAAAAWL I am never the conscience except with Jim, which should scare you. It does me.

22) What color are your eyes? Brown

23) Have you ever been arrested? Yeah.

24) Soda/beer: Bottle or can? Bottle.

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?

...I don't think I'm the target audience for this survey. That's not a lot of money to me right now although there have been times in my life when it definitely would have been, all of them times I was not speaking to family. I'd probably donate it.

26) What's your favorite place to hang out?

I am boring and really like my apartment right now. Possibly because I haven't seen much of it lately. I like tea shops too.

27) Do you believe in ghosts?

Well, they seem to believe in me.

28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?

Cook, play on the internet, garden, read webcomics, read books, watch torrents when Jim isn't home.

29) Do you swear a lot?

Fuck, yes.

30) Biggest pet peeve?

Stupid people.

31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?

Fairlight.

32) Do you believe in/appreciate romance?

Actually not so much. The most romantic relationship of my life which I don't regret at all was wonderful while it lasted but if he hadn't died we'd probably have eventually exploded in an awesomely terrifying manner. It was reckless and wonderful and completely unsubstainable with too many highs and lows. My current relationship started out as a strategic alliance with a lot of sexual attraction behind it and we fell in love basically in part because we're very intellectually compatible and also because we needed each other so we took care to be really good to each other.

33) Favorite and least favorite foods?

Faves: peaches, catfish, chicken and stuffing, basically Southern and Asian food. Vanilla anything.

Least favorite: fugu, octopus, anything sickly sweet or overprocessed.

34) Do you believe in God? Yes.

35) Are you happy? Mostly.

15) Yes, you do. Everyone should.

16) Yeah, FB is really really not naked, too. Jim insists that if we shaved him he'd weigh 5 pounds.

17) Please do; there is just too much general mayhem and mindfuckery afoot in my life as a rule for us to be other than cautious, and I like knowing where people I care about are if they are anywhere near it.

26) :)
