1. Can you cook?
Yes, though I don’t usually as cooking for one is tough.

2. What was your dream growing up?
My future occupation: archaeologist.

3. What talent do you wish you had?
Knitting or sewing (or both)

4. Favorite place?
In the US, Blue Ridge Mountains.
Abroad, I loved my time in the UK - St. David’s Wales, Haverhill England, and Edinburgh Scotland.

5. Favorite vegetable?
French Fries. Or corn on the cob covered with butter and a bit of salt.

6. What was the last book you read?
There are so many… probably one of the Torchwood novels. I’m reading the latest John Grisham now.

7. What zodiac sign are you ?
Scorpio

8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
Ears are pierced. Debating a tattoo, but I’m kind of a wuss.

9. Worst Habit?
According to whom? Not staying in touch with my friends & family as often as I should
is currently something I’m working to improve.

10. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
Not that I know of ;-)

11. What is your favorite sport?
Football (American) or basketball, but I’m not a huge fan.

12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
About others, very optimistic - I can always point out the good in others.
About myself I tend to be more negative.

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Wow is *that* a loaded question… well since I (probably) don’t know you outside of LJ probably
silently pray that the elevator would start back up before I freaked out since I’m claustrophobic.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Hmm. It’s a tie between the night I found out that the guy I was in love in was dating my friend
and the time shortly after that when he “forgot” that he had given me a ride to an event and I had
to walk the 45 min in the dark to his house to get my car (as I had left my cell phone in his.)

15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
I have been known to use raw, uncooked oatmeal as an ice cream topping.

16. Do you have any pets?
Two cats, Noelle and Simon

17. Do you know how to do the Macarena?
Yes. And the Time Warp.

18. What time is it where you are now?
Daytime

19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
SCARY. They creep me out big time.

20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Like everyone I wish I was a bit more fit / toned, but otherwise I’m actually pretty happy as is.

21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Depends on what you’re doing. I’ve been both ;-)

22. What color eyes do you have?
Blue

23. Ever been arrested?
Nope.

24. Bottle or Draft?
Draft if possible.

Pay off my bills - no question.

26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
Something spicy or minty.

27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?
Salem Beer Works in Salem, MA

28. Do you believe in ghosts?
Tough one. I believe that there is a whole supernatural realm that exists beyond what we can normally
see & hear, but whether they are the actual souls/spirits of past loved ones or something else I’m not sure.
Could be Cybermen.

29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Read, take long bubble baths.

30. Do you swear a lot?
When I’m alone or close family/friends. Or if I’m having a REALLY bad day at work -
but I typically don’t lose my cool at work, so when I do it kinda freaks them out. ;-)

31. Biggest pet peeve?
Didn’t I answer this already? No that was bad habits… hmmm. Incorrect grammar and/or spelling.
It’s one this if English is your second language, because translating is tricky. I was a tutor in the writing center
at my college and it bothers me tremendously that kids are promoted up through the ranks without having
even a basic understanding of THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. *steps off soapbox before she throws something*

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
One word, huh? Enigmatic.

33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
