tagged.

yes, it is 10:00 pm on a saturday night and BoyCat and I are home. it was movie night - amelie, to be specific. can you believe i hadn't seen it yet? fun little movie, and really, could she be any cuter? i think about 1% of the female population can pull off that haircut.

anyway, toast has tagged me with the A-Z meme. so here goes.

(you know what? i did a meme very similar to this back in December. so you can read that too, if you want to know some other things about me. i’m going to cut and paste the answers that are the same, because i’m lazy!)

Accent: none, really. one of the first things many people say when they find out that i’m from the boston area is, “you don’t have an accent!” i assume that this is because they’ve only been exposed to boston accents through snl skits and mystic river. the only time i really drop any “r”s at all is when i’ve been drinking, or when i’m talking very quickly.

Booze: there's not much that i won't drink. in my short time on earth, the only two drinks that i've learned to refuse at all costs are shots of tequila and irish car bombs.

Chore I Hate: all. all of them.

Dog or Cat: cats. dogs are nice and all, i just don’t want one. and even if i did, we don’t have room for more than one small pet in this place.

Essential Electronics: BoyCat’s laptop. my laptop is a dinosaur, and we can’t get the wireless internet to work on both and be secure. i’m too lazy to figure it out, so we just share. and i could buy a new laptop or go to vegas in august, so guess what? the dinosaur stays.

Favorite Cologne: i don’t wear perfume, really – i have a bottle of sunflowers on the nightstand in case i’m feeling particularly icky, but normally it’s deodorant and out the door.

Gold or Silver: silver. i have no affinity for gold, which my zodiac sign says is against the laws of nature. i say screw the zodiac, silver’s better.

Hometown: catville, ma (yeah, i'm not telling you this here).

Insomnia: bouts of it. i watch some late night episodes of check, please! or read blogs until i just can’t keep my eyes open any longer.

Job Title: grants + communications [blank]. i’m paranoid about work finding this blog, so i won’t type the whole thing.

Kids: bearing one? no. the idea of pregnancy literally turns my stomach. raising one? i'll consider it, vaguely, for a minute, in about 10 years.

Living Arrangements: sharing a north side apartment with BoyCat and CatCat.

Most Admirable Traits: hmmm. i’ll take a cue from toast and say that i am a loyal friend. and however naïve and idealistic it might sound, i do have a desire to leave the world a bit of a better place than i found it.

Number of Sexual Partners: you know, it’s funny, instinctively in my head i thought “eight,” but when i just went back over it in my head, i only come up with seven. so if there’s a number eight, he wasn’t very memorable.

Overnight Hospital Stays: never.

Phobias: how much time do you have? flying. bridges. strangers. wicker furniture. (just kidding about the last one. sort of.)

Quote: "brevity is the soul of lingerie." - dorothy parker

Religion: none. soft atheism, if i must categorize.

Siblings: just one. SisterCat. and believe me, one is enough - we've got our hands full with each other!

Time I Wake Up: you’re going to hate me. 7:15 a.m. god bless Chicago transit.

Unusual Talent or Skill: i just asked BoyCat if i had an unusual talent or skill, and he said “umm…you can juggle.” i said, “that’s not unusual. and i juggle poorly.” he said, “well there you go, you juggle poorly.” i said, “that’s not unusual either!” i’m abandoning this question.

Vegetable I Love: spinach.

Worst Habit: mild paranoia over just about everything.

X-Rays: none. kinda remarkable.

Yummy Foods I Make: i make good baked ziti florentine. that's about it!

Zodiac Sign: leo.
