(no subject)

Both of these memes have been sclumphxterned from [livejournal.com profile] ladyvorkosigan, whom I don't even know.


1. IF YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE ANYWHERE WHERE WOULD IT BE?
London.

2. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?
My faded jeans with a hole in the left pocket.

3. IF YOU COULD HAVE CHOSEN YOUR NAME WHAT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN?
Hmmm...I've always liked my middle name (Kathleen). And I love the name "Frances" for a girl, as well as "Elizabeth" (for literary reasons). I'd like a name that makes me sound like the heroine in a regency novel.

4. WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE?
New York City, though I've only been there thrice.

5. WHERE IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE TO BE?
In traffic.

6. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING?
Depends on when I went to bed the night before or if I have something really exciting to do that day. Typically around 6am, though.

7. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
Microwave. Boring, but true.

8. WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY?
Willful ignorance.

9. IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE
I wish I had practiced more on the piano.

9a - If you could have one creative skill what would it be?
I like to fancy myself a decent writer, but I know I'm not great. So, writing, I guess. Though it would be cool to be able to draw.

10. FAVORITE COLORS?
Black. Yellow. Navy. It really depends on the time of year.

11. DO YOU BELIEVE IN AN AFTER LIFE?
Absolutely.

12. FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK?
Anything with Harry Potter in the title. Yes, I do believe they are children's books.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Don't have one. My favorite two times of the year are when it first starts to get chilly and when it first starts to get warm.

14. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Telepathy would be very cool.

15. IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT?
I don't have one.

16. DO YOU JUGGLE?
Ummm...no. Not in the literal sense. I'm not very good at it in the metaphoric sense either.

17. THE ONE PERSON FROM YOUR PAST YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO.
My mother. I'd also love to reunite with my three best friends from junior high.

19. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DAY?
Friday, because I only work half days on Fridays.

20. WHAT IS IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR?
Nothing at the moment.

21. SUSHI OR A BURGER?
Burger, without a doubt. I have tried sushi once, and am not impatient to try it again.

22. FROM THE PEOPLE YOU WILL EMAIL THIS TO WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO REPLY FIRST?
Whoever has the most time on their hands and sees it on my LJ first.

23. WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
All the people who couldn't care less about my LJ. :p

24. WHO DID YOU RECEIVE THIS FROM?
[livejournal.com profile] ladyvorkosigan

25. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON?
Spongebob Squarepants.

26. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL?
Roast beef, cream potatoes with gravy, green beans, and sweet tea. I used to have this every time I went to the MSU cafeteria.

27. WHO IS THE ONE PERSON THAT YOU cannot LIVE WITHOUT?
It's not really one person. I probably wouldn't survive my work day without my cubemates, though. ;)

28. IF YOU COULD MEET ANY PERSON, LIVING OR PASSED ON, WHO WOULD IT BE?
Katherine Hepburn.

29. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT GOVERNMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Where do I start? I've never cared for the electoral college voting system, and I particularly hate it now because it's responsible for the Toaster (excuse me, President Toaster) being in the White House. (If anyone wonders what the heck "Toaster" means, ask and I will explain.)

30. IF YOU WON A MILLION DOLLARS-WOULD YOU INVEST IT OR BLOW IT?
Blow some of it; do something huge for someone else (like buy my parents a house); invest the rest.
