And here are my answers…Except for #13, 17 & 18, because that depends on YOU.

1) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
No. Single.

2) What was your dream growing up?
Become Princess Leia…or Spock. *g*

3) What talent do you wish you had?
Novelist, film director, or the political skills to rise the ladder at work better than I did.

4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Scotch

5) Favorite vegetable?
Brocolli, carrots, sweet potatoes.  (Does garlic count?)

6) What was the last book you read?
Real Food by Nina Planck.

7) What zodiac sign are you?
Taurus

8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
Just a single set of ear lobe piercings.  I’m not big on the adornments.

9) Worst Habit?
Nail biting and dressing too casually.

10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
When I had a car, for the first and only time ever back in L.A. a few years ago, probably not cuz nobody picks up strangers.  But I’d have to say that would depend on the situation.

11) What is your favorite sport?
Ping pong, thumb wrestling.  (Does cat herding count?)

12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I like to think of myself as snarkily optimistic.

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
While I was going through the biggest (romantic) breakup of my life, my mother’s sort-of-ex-boyfriend attacked her.  He was imprisoned, and I had to rush to the state she lived in to help her quickly relocate.  To top it all off, the guy I was breaking up with was on the frakking plane with me, sitting right next to me, flying to meet my mother.  Because we’d bought the tickets together before the breakup.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
Right now, I am worried that I spend way too much time with online virtual friends and not enough in the meatspace with, erm, meatier friends…

16) Do you have any pets?
Yes, a kitty.

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Scary!

20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Go from a size 14 to a size 8 without losing too much of my boobs.

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Depends on the crime! *snicker*

22) What was it that brought you onto livejournal as a signed-in member?
Fan fiction at first...but also icons and fanart/fanvids in general.  It always seems such a well-read, geek-heaven sort of place to hang out.  Also quite civilized and pretty spoiler-free.

23) Ever been arrested?
No.  But I had a boyfriend in college who went out one day to buy some milk and cigs and ended up in the gorramed slammer for shoplifting.  Frakking idiot.

24) Bottle or can soda?
Water, tea or coffee thanks.

25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Buy a weekend escape cottage in the woods or near the beach. 

27) What's your favorite place to hang at?
Home.

28) Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes.

29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Read (mainly online these days)…blog…watch shows…chat w/pals.

30) Do you swear a lot?
Only in the meatspace!

31) Biggest pet peeve?
Stupid people getting in the way of progress.

32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
Yes!

33) Do you believe in God?
I believe that matter and energy take on many forms…and that what we humans call “god” is part of the energy cycle on this planet.  Something is definitely “out there.”  But it’s not a He, not Our Creator, and it doesn’t sit in judgement of us.

34) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Wanderer.

I am going to put this post on my linksroll at the top of my LJ for a while, for easy reference.  I hope it might make my world a tiny bit FRIENDLIER.
