I really need to post a proper update... there's a lot going on in this busy little life and mind of mine. Until then, here we go with a survey, copied and pasted from animal_cookie.
Where is your cell phone?
3 feet across my desk.
Where is your significant other?
Working hard at his day job.
What color is your hair?
Golden summertime blonde. I got all the chemicals right; it's quite stunning without any gray.
Where is your mother?
If there's a heaven, my Mom is there. She died in 1996.
Where is your father?
He should be at work in California.
What is your favorite thing?
Adventure.
Your dream last night?
I am sure I had a few, but nothing that really sticks out. Side effect of long-term benzodiazepine therapy.
Your favorite drink?
At present, flavored seltzer as I'm on a health kick. Usually, Long Island Iced Tea.
Your hobby?
Writing. I've been keeping and indexing personal notebooks. I also obsessively read.
Your fear?
The unknown, in general - with driving as a very close second.
Where do you want to be in 6 years?
Happy and free of drama.
Where were you last night?
At home, alone after a long weekend out of town, doing Excel spreadsheets, and having an extremely awkward talk. Yikes.
Something that you aren't?
Definition can vary over time. I'm not disrespectful overall. I'm not a person who takes anything for granted.
wish list item?
Mariposa needs a new pair of shoes.
Last thing you did?
I sent a text message.
What are you wearing?
A very light cardigan, pink tanktop, sparkly necklace, green khakis.
What did you watch on TV last night?
I don't generally watch TV except for Hulu and downloads. I'd like cable, and may sneak it on housie within the month.
Your pet's name?
They are all feline and living the good life with my family in California. Neko, age 11 (Siamese mix, blue eyes, raccoon-type tail), Sasha, age 3 (ginger tabby, my little lovecat), and Albert (littermate/brother with Sasha, also age 3). I love them; alas, housie's allergic, so they live with my family.
Describe your friends?
The best friends a person for which a person could wish. They come from different backgrounds, ideologies, some are related, some are not. Some (well, many) are Bluelighters! All are in my thoughts and my heart. I am very blessed.
Describe your life?
A clusterfuck. I need to start doing my own filing and buy another cabinet. It's Monday, after all.
Your mood?
Also a clusterfuck. Personal reasons.
Are you missing someone?
I miss my mother. I'd like to hear her laughter when she was normal, which was not often. I miss my housie too. She's pretty cool even when she's batshit manic.
What do you drink?
Most of the time, it's water out of a Brita pitcher or a safe plastic bottle. If I'm drinking alcohol, it's vodka mixed with whatever or a Long Island Iced Tea.
What kind of car do you have?
1995 Toyota Tercel. Silver. Very basic. I'd like an SUV again, but I'm not willing to finance a hybrid at present. I hate driving. I have to drive to get where I want to go, though, so I'm going to run this thing until its engine dies (hopefully not anytime soon). Did I mention I hate driving? My little automobile is speedy
Something you're not wearing?
Earrings. They annoy me on myself; very stylish on others and on me at times. Just not right now.
Your favorite store?
Powell's Bookstore, Portland, Oregon. It's the largest independent bookstore in the USA. I never lack for perspective when I go get lost and read for hours. They won't be going out of business like these jackass 'overcorporations' and the people that work there are wonderful! They've gotten me all my texts in all domains, timely, and cheaper than expected. I'll go there anytime.
Your favorite color?
No clue. Probably clear.
When is the last time you cried?
Today. My right eye has a messed-up tear duct due to allergies. From emotions? Happy ones, yesterday. Sad ones, about a month ago.
Who will resend this?
I won't re-send this beyond BL. I'll guess that any of we regulars should welcome the newbies. I know I look forward to welcoming others to Blogs. I really like the process of others expressing their thoughts.
Where do you go to over and over?
Yosemite National Park. Family has a home 30 mi outside there. We can't go there in winter unless I'll get in a turboprop, which isn't likely, as the roads are impassible if the snow gets above 1500 feet of elevation.
Five people who email me regularly?
I'll keep this relatively anonymous for all purposes.
Favorite place I'd like to be right now?
London, UK. It's another home in many ways. Locally, probably anywhere away from my desk.
Four people I think will respond?
Many of my favorite folks already have; I'm late in the game and I'm not the predictive type.
