Procrastinating with another questionnaire

I'm also stealing this one from JennP (missed numbers are repeat questions from yesterday's questionnaire):

1.Your ex is on the side of the road, on fire. What do you do?
Help. I’m trained in first aid and come armed with a cell phone. To do anything else would be a violation of everything I believe in. Besides, despite certain character flaws, he really is a great guy and we had some wonderful times together. I would never, EVER want to see him hurt.


2.Your best friend tells you she's pregnant. What is your reaction?
Considering that I consider myself to be my own best friend, I would freak the f--k out. I mean, I *love* kids but pregnancy’s not for me right now …


4.Congratulations! You just had a son. What's his name?
Simon, after my mom (Simone).


5.Congratulations! You just had a daughter. What's her name
Charlotte. I don’t know why. I knew a Charlotte once, and she was a piece of work. But I like the name.


6.What are you craving right now?
A nap.


7.What was the last thing you cried about?
Oh, it was probably some short-lived “poor me” thing.


8.When you buy something and your change is a penny. Do you keep it?
You betcha!


9.What color is your tissue box?
I have several, but the nearest one has a green bamboo pattern on it. Kinda masculine; I bought it for my office where I would routinely offer tissues to the guys on my team who didn’t think ahead about things like tissues.


10.Do you have a ceiling fan in your room, and if so, is there dust on that fan?
I have a standing fan, and yes it is a little dusty.


11.What is the last voicemail you received about?
Probably a library book.


12.Scariest thing you've experienced in the last year?
My dad gave us a health scare in September. Also, the career change has been nerve-wracking at times. The first was a little more intense but shorter-lived, and I was reassured by the excellent care he received.


13.Have you ever had a garage sale?
No.


14.What is the last alcoholic beverage you had?
A half-pint of Rickert’s red last night with some friends after watching “Quantum of Solace”.


15.Are you happy right now?
I’m at peace. Or too tired to care. I need a nap, but my bed is covered with stuff at the moment. :)


16.Who came over last?
A classmate and potential roommate was just here.


17.Do you drink beer?
In a limited fashion. The half-pint I drank last night made me feel a little woozy.


18.Have your brothers or sisters ever told you that you were adopted?
See, this is the one bright spot of a genetic disorder – you know you are their biological offspring even when you wonder how you could possibly be related to your parents otherwise. LOL


19.Dark or light jeans?
Medium – dark.


20.What was the last movie you watched at home?
"Casino Royale". Apparently it was good that I did, as the others with whom I watched "Quantum of Solace" felt a little lost without fresh knowledge of what happened in the last Bond movie.


21.What is in your pocket?
My hopes.


22.Who introduced you to your boyfriend/girlfriend
N/A


23.Where do you hurt?
My throat’s a little raspy. Fighting another cold.


24.What is your favorite aisle at Wal-Mart?
Like Jenn, I dislike Walmart, haven't been in 2 or 3 years

26.What are you going to do after this?
Clean my room, which is full of the crap that I moved from the spare bedroom so I could show it to the potential roommate.


27.Who was the last person you went shopping with?
Mel, at St. Lawrence Market.


28.What about your favorite dessert?
Blueberry pie, cherry pie, cheesecake, chocolate cake. Don’t ask me to pick.


29.Do you have the same name as one of your relatives?
YES! TWO of my cousins have the same first name as me. (They are both older.) One of them even had the same last name as me until she got married. Once, in my hometown, I went to the doctor and they brought in the wrong chart. Fortunately they figured that one out pretty quickly. LOL


30.Do you like pickles?
They’re okay, but not really my thing. Sweet pickles with a grilled cheese sandwich are good, though.

31.Is someone in love with you?
I highly doubt it.


32.What color is your couch?
Sage green.


33.Has anyone ever mistaken you for a family member?
When I was 16, I spent a summer living with my older cousin Marlene as a nanny for her two kids. When our mothers called the house, neither of them could tell my voice apart from Marlene’s.

Also, when I was very young, someone called the house asking for me. I don’t think I’d ever received a phone call before, and I remember feeling very excited and special. But it turned out that it was some high school kid calling for my cousin who had the same name as me. LOL


34.Does someone like you right now?
I hope lots of people like me.


35.Do you know anyone in jail/prison?
My parents used to be foster parents, and some of those kids were messed up. Maybe one of them is now in prison. I know one of them was killed years ago.


37.How many hours did you sleep for last night?
not enough. I had to get up earlier than I wanted to clean my apartment.


38.Do you swear at your parents?
I sometimes use swear words when speaking with my parents, but I try not to, and they’re not aimed at them.


39.Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Possibly. I know a lot of people.


40.What is the last thing you spent money on?
Food at the pub last night after the movie. Perkin bought my beer because he owed me one and I reminded him. ;->


41.Name one thing no one can ever take away from you?
My intrinsic value as a human being.


42.What is the last thing you ate that had onions in it?
Soup, probably.


43.Crunchy or Puffy Cheetos?
Puffy. Evil, addictive creations. I try to stay away from them.


44.The first person on your friends list just called you a bitch. What do you have to say to them?
Nothing, I would just assume it was her pregnancy hormones.


45.Have you ever blocked someone on Myspace before?
Yes, he was just trying too damn hard.


46.Do you wear a name tag at work?
No.


47.What color is your iPod?
White


48.What is your favorite key chain on your keys?
My Canada key chain. It is long and narrow, and fits perfectly in my fist. You know, for those days when I’m fighting crime and beating up the bad guys. :)


50.What were you doing at midnight last night?
Writing an e-mail. I need to start going to bed earlier.

That's okay, Jason! It would have been fun to have you and Natalie there, but it was still awesome.

If I didn't have to watch my spending, I would TOTALLY go with you to see it again!!! :-D
