100 Things About Me
100 Things About Me
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
Hm. Which one has the most amusing story? Oh! The one on/in my left ear (good thing I don't wear earrings). I was with one of my cats out in our screenhouse (which is basically an amusing little tent-thing with walls made of screens so you can be outside and not be eaten by mosquitoes, and so that your strictly-indoor cats can get some fresh air), and he decided to pounce on some indeterminate object just outside. And, being a fairly hefty cat, he smashed a hole right through the screen. We sort of stared at each other, in a WTF kind of way, and then he took off running for the nearest tree with me in hot pursuit. He climbed up, I snagged him - and very cleverly pulled him down and toward me. Um. Kitty on tree? Probably has his claws out. And there you have it. (Of course I didn't notice until someone asked if I was okay. Then it was all - "Yes, what? Oh. Wait. My ear! My ear! Ow!")
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Used to be a big weather map, but it kept falling down so now it's rolled in a corner. Let's see... a little mirror, a big four-month dry-erase wall calendar, and a Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes calendar. :D
3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
Nope. Apparently, I don't do much breathing, either. (Sleepovers were a pain, because at least once a night someone would be shaking me awake and panicking because I breathe so quietly.)
4. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
Everything!
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Afternoon. 2 or 3, I think.
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Dunno. I'll probably figure that out when I get it. :D
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Lots of things!
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION(S)?
I dunno. I've been known to act very protectively over my laptop.
9. HOW TALL ARE YOU??
5 feet, 7-and-a-half inches.
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Only socially. Small spaces are fine by me - or I'd have some trouble in my room!
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Nope!
12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
Hm. Good question (better than that 'first person to make you cry' thing on that other meme). Probably my roommates, just because I get silly and frustrated with them. It happens.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR/EYE COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
No particular preference. :D
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?
Um. Okay. Every time I get a silly question like this, I'm gonna give a weird answer. So, yes. Skydiving. Over the Alps. About to crash into a tree. "Oh, and by the way, will you marry me-" THWAP. Good times.
16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
Neither!
17. FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Black olives. I totally have a tin of them in my fridge right now.
18. IF YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Some of those candies that I am told are called "Smarties" in the States. So I will. *munches*
20. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH?
Uh. No.
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU'VE EVER RECIEVED?
What, does everyone get gift certificates until they're twenty or something? How could I remember?
22. DO YOU LIKE ANYBODY?
Well, I like plenty of people. But like-like? Not really, no.
23. ARE YOU DOUBLE JOINTED?
Oh yes.
24. FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND?
My clothes are all cheapo no-name brand stuff.
26. DO YOU HAVE A PET RIGHT NOW?
Two cats, an adoptive kitty, a ton of fish and two frogs.
27. WHAT KIND IS IT?
Oh. Um. Right. See above.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
Uh, possibly? Are you trying to tell me something, mysterious meme-author of doom?
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU:
INTERPRETIVE DANCE!
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
42. Come on. Me, a geek? You should've seen that coming.
31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
Meh.
32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL MOST OFTEN?
(There's a dirty joke here involving Time Lords, but I'm restraining myself.) My parents' place.
34. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY?
Yup! (But not until I was... sixteen?)
35. YOUR WEAKNESSESS?
Kryptonite. But don't tell anyone.
36. MET ANYONE FAMOUS?
A bunch of well-known children's authors at a big writing conference back in grade five. (And I chatted with my idol Gordon Korman several times as a kid.) Lots of local politicians (the mayor of our city once came up behind me and gave me a hug. I had never met her before in my life; it was terrifying.) because of my Dad's work in the community. Jeremy Wotherspoon, olympic athlete. Probably some of the people who came back and gave speeches at my high school's hall of fame induction ceremonies.
37. FIRST JOB?
Taking care of my friend's cat. I did a lot of tutoring in high school, then worked in a kitchen.
38. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
Oh yes. For some reason, my ten-year-old self was very amused at the idea of calling up random people and trying to order pizza. And then caller ID came around. :(
41. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED THIS OUT?
Eating candy and looking vaguely for a meme to fill out.
40. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SURGERY?
Twice; for an injury to my knee when I was sixteen, and for my wisdom teeth when I was seventeen.
42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
My smile, apparently. Yay!
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Haven't a clue. Good thing I have six months to come up with something.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
I say none, but I'm probably wrong about that.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
My Mom figured out that her cousin/best friend's name was the same as mine when I was about fifteen. So I'm belatedly named after her.
47. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Oh, jeez. Last night I realized I could see the stars (big city, typically cloudy) and totally did.

Whatever's on sale. :D

56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Nah.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
I don't. Even when I fence, I'm cheerful (which leads to chants of "bloodlust, bloodlust" from my fellow fencers).
60. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
Katie Koala, a stuffed animal from my Gran.
61. HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE IN YOUR CELL PHONE?
Uh, let's see. Where is my cell phone? I don't have a land line, so this should be something I keep track of... 25 entries. Heehee. I don't use my phone much.
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Wait, how many missing numbers are there? 54, 56, 57, 60? That's crazy counting!
We're taking a break here while I teach all you meme-makers out there how to count using visual aids.
Doctor Who-related visual aids.
(because Gimp is my new plaything)
Now, how hard is that?
Phew. Actually, it took a surprisingly long time, considering I was just messing around with the Wikipedia pictures (Eccleston's = guh). McGann's was being uncooperative so I cropped him to death. :( Anyway.
64. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE?
Both!

Sense of humour. Otherwise I'm stuck.

Silly questions like that.
