Bored. Procrastinating. Haven't posted in ages.
Um... meme?
1. Explain what ended your last relationship. He wanted no-commitment sex, I hadn't yet learned that I fall in love with anyone I sleep with, things ended predictably badly. At least I finally had the sense to end it myself. Learned later that he'd been cheating on me, but really, that was just salt to the wound at that point.
2. When was the last time you shaved? ...last year sometime? I dunno. Occasionally I get a fit of bad self-image and shave my pits, but really, me and razors? Not a good combo. And I'm frankly too lazy for the sustained effort shaving requires.
3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.? Making like a log. Until the alarm went off, anyway. Curse you, foul contraption!
4. Were you any good at math? Eh. Not terrible, not great. No retention of skills whatsoever; I doubt I'd recognize a calculus equation these days if it bit me in the butt, although anything biting me in the butt is, on reflection, unlikely to be a calculus equation.
5. What were you doing 15 minutes ago? Either catching up on Battlestar Galactica (note to self: order anti-depressants), putting food in the oven, or playing Nexus Wars. I dunno. Clocks are foul contraptions too.
Food in the oven! ARGH!
6. Your prom night? ... Oh yay. Not burned.
Prom night? I was homeschooled, but I've heard of those. Some kind of torture session, right?
7. Do you have any famous ancestors? My aunt once paid someone to say we were related to some guy named Lafayette -- no, not that Lafayette, some other one who did something or the other during the War of 1812. Supposedly my last name is a corruption of his, which is actually the only likely bit about the whole story. It made my aunt happy, though. She's that kind of person.
8. Have you had to take a loan out for school? No. My extended family has money in an unassuming kind of way; they put me through college. Which was damned nice, I must say, and freed me from the silly obligation to "get a good job" using the magic piece o'paper and allowing me to use my years in college for the unique purpose of learning.
Not that I have Opinions on the educational system er anything.
9. Do you know the words to the song on your myspace profile? I will get a myspace profile when -- eh, actually? Even mild torture would do it. But voluntarily? Not so much.
10. Last thing received in the mail? A catalog from Heifer International. Go Heifer International! If I had money I might even give you some!
11. How many different beverages have you had today? Just water. The evil milk truck driver came and sucked away all my milk before I got to work. Curse the name of the milk truck driver! (Actually, I can't remember the name of the milk truck driver, so even if I was good at cursing he'd be safe.)
12. Do you ever leave messages on people's answering machine? Sure. In many cases I view this as superior to speaking to the actual person. See: Evil Contraptions.
13. Who did you lose your CONCERT virginity to? Jimmy Buffett. Yes, really. If you don't count the dozens of music festivals I attended from toddler age onward.
14. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach? No. I prefer making Easter Island faces. Or, better yet, playing the Wave Chasing game. But I haven't been to the beach very often, and about half the ones I have been to had no sand.
15. What's the most painful dental procedure you've had? Beats me. I haven't been to a dentist since I was six, because they wouldn't stop threatening my mother about how Dire Things would happen if I didn't get braces. So far the only Dire Thing has been an occasional cut on my inner lip from the jutting tooth. Frankly, if the choice is between two years of pain, sub-brace cavities, mouth sores, and no apples, and the occasional self-inflicted cut, I'm all about the bleeding.
16. What is out your back door? Porch, grill, backyard, and a bunch of very insolent deer.
17. Any plans for Friday night? Since I work most Saturdays, nope.
18. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair? I've only been swimming a few times in the ocean, and always with scuba gear. For the record, I don't like what scuba gear does to my hair (mostly, get caught in it).
19. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different popcorns? It's possible a clueless relative gave us one once, but I doubt it.
20. Have you ever been to a planetarium? Not since I was ten.
21. Do you re-use towels after you shower? Is this some kind of trick question? Does anyone who does their own laundry actually use a new towel for every shower?
22. Some things you are excited about? World Fantasy, successful playing with PHP (more on this later), having a day off tomorrow, potentially getting time enough to write soon.
23. What is your favorite flavor of JELLO? The kind with fruit in is okay. Not really a Jell-O person.
24. Describe your keychain(s)? It used to be a great big green thing so I couldn't loose my keys. But I lost it. So now it's Dan's nifty flashlight-onna-keychain and one of those thingies that opens your car before you get there, in theory. This one is I think possessed by the Devil.
25. Where do you keep your change? In theory, in my wallet. In practice, in my wallet, in the car, on the coffee table, in various tupperware containers, on the floor where I dropped it.....

Hrm. My memory says there was something about "two words" in this meme originally which seems to have been lost by the time I got it. Oh well. I never was good at brevity anyway.
More posting soon. Need to go kill a guy on Nexus Wars.
