48 Things Meme

OK, [livejournal.com profile] grifyn, I'm a meme whore too.

1. What color are your kitchen plates?
Mostly white. They're mixed, actually. Some are brown, some are blue, and some are the happy white glass plates that take a hell of a beating before finally giving up.

2. What book(s) are you reading now?
Working on More than Honor, plus textbooks and Code Complete.

3. What's on your mouse pad?
No such beast: I've got an optical. ...heh. If I were being snarky, I'd have said, "A mouse."

4. Favorite Board Game?
Othello, hands down.

5. Favorite Magazine?
If I read magazines, I would say that it would have to be one of the science-type magazines. I'll say Discover, because that's one I read an online article from just now.

6. Favorite smell(s)?
Rose, musk, sandalwood, Darkside's work uniforms (hot, slightly dryer-scorched cotton), lotus boquet incense, leather jackets, clean chicken (bury nose in feathers of live, clean, happy bird), chocolate, good food.

7. Least favorite smell(s)?
Eggs. Raw or cooked. I worked in a bakery for a year and had to deal with buckets of raw, frozen eggs. Eww.

8. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
What time is it? When's my first class?

9. Favorite color(s)?
Black, navy blue, rose pink, deep rose pink, silver.

10. Least favorite color(s)?
That screaming green-yellow, and most oranges. They are fine in their place, which is usually not on or in anything I am wearing (unless it's a tropical print on a black background with good colors dominating), which means keep them away from me. Even though I have [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa's color on my friends page as orange. She's an exception.

11. How many rings before you answer the phone?
Enough to make sure the caller ID picks up the number.

12. Future child's name?
Probably as the Lady E. and I planned: Eric James, Joshua Eric, David Randall. I can't remember any of the female names we plotted.

13. What is most important in life?
This time around, it seems to be love.

14. Of all the possible circles of Hell, which are you most likely to be assigned to?
Perhaps something involving lust.

15. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Chocolate. Unless it's a candle scent, in which case, vanilla.

16. Do you like to drive fast?
Yep. Only when I have complete control of the vehicle, though.

17. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
Does a plastic lightsabre count?

18. Storms - cool or scary?
Very, very cool.

19. What was your first car?
Red 1987 Toyota Tercel stationwagon. Bonnie. I miss her.

20. If you could meet one person dead or alive, who would it be?
Toss-up between Feynman and Asimov.

21. Favorite alcoholic drink?
Vanilla coke with almond amaretto. *waves* *bows* I'm really glad you like it, guys...

22. What is your sign and your birthday?
Gemini. June 04. Monkey.

23. Do you eat the stems of broccoli?
Yep.

24. If you could have any job, what would it be?
Writing, and/or something having to do with the proper setting up and maintaining of networks and databases.

25. If you could have any hair color, what would it be?
Dark blue. Like, navy blue that glowed cobalt in the sun.

26. Have you ever been in love?
Yes. And am.

27. Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
(gacking from gryf here): That had better be vanilla coke with almond amaretto that makes this smell like almonds, yo...

28. Favorite movie?
Um, gods. Um. The Gods Must be Crazy always scores high, though I got some really funny looks from my 4th grade teacher for cheerily suggesting it as a great movie for the whole class to watch. Had the movie rating system explained to me.

29. Do you type with your fingers on the right keys?
Only with my right hand. The left hand's on the left keys.

30. What's under your bed?
Carpet. And a little dust, probably. My bed lies flat on the floor.

31 - What is your favorite number(s)?
8 and 11 are up there, but Darkside's phone number is the #1 favorite. 42 and 23 are also very interesting.

32. Favorite sport to watch?
Gymnastics or fencing.

33. What is your single biggest fear?
Rejection. Exclusion by friends.

34. Favorite song? Right now?
Bizarre Love Triangle pretty well sums it up. Or Forever Young. Gotta love CTY.

35. Favorite TV show(s)?
I have a sneaking fondness for Malcolm in the Middle. Have given up sci-fi TV as bitterly disappointing. If you have a B5 night, invite me. Please.

36. Ketchup or mustard?
If pretzels, pretzel-like snacks, or sausage: mustard. Else, ketchup.

37. Hamburgers or Hot Dogs?
Burgers. Dude.

38. Favorite Soft Drink?
Dr. Pepper, vanilla coke, Mtn. Dew, strawberry soda. Pepsi is nasty, and coke hurts my teeth.

39. The best places you have ever been?
Home. Fairbanks-home. And/or anywhere m'love is.

40. What screen saver is on your computer right now?
Starfield Simulation, as I don't seem to have blank screen.

41. Burger King or McDonalds?
Um. Let's go for Jack-in-the-crack instead, eh? Cheaper, and maybe even with less crap.

42. Do you know someone right now that you could fall in love with?
Mr. Shallow, or my pretty. Or both. 'cause I'm already in love with Darkside.

43. What did you do yesterday?
School. Cleaned. Read. Listened to music. Watched the Little Fayoumis. Cried about getting my Calico back.

44. What's your favorite food?
Beef stew, the way Mama makes it. Or pizza, the way I make it.

45. Where do you see yourself in twenty years?
In Alaska, with my family, and a nice job. Hm, maybe the Geophysical Institute wants my father's firstborn son...

46. If you had the choice of any superhero power to possess, what would it be?
Flying and/or teleportation would be nice.

47. What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?
Putting aside all the supernatural stuff, because that's only normal... the ones where Darkside kisses me, as he's usually exactly true-to-life.
The weirdest supernatural dream I've ever had, I didn't have. It's kind of interesting when a friend of a friend who's never met or heard of you asks who your best friend is...

48. Who is your favorite classical composer?
Bach.

Heeeey... that's what I was gonna say!

Interesting is a good way to put it. :-)

Doh, Phoenix, Arizona! Just reading your responses triggered my 'cool person to hang out with in RL' sensor. Ah well. If you ever get out to Silicon Valley, we've got B5 nights (Well not currently, but we're going to run through the show again sometime soon, [livejournal.com profile] girgirl has only seen my videotapes of it and now that it is coming out on DVD...) gaming, and general geeky activities. Heh. Mmm Vanilla Coke (preferably made manually by putting a shot of Torani Vanilla Syrup in some Coke).
