That Meme Thing

[lhskarka]

1. What does your LiveJournal headline mean?
Perambulations in Verbiage = Long rambling strolls through language? *Shrug* It sounded good when I typed it.

2. Elaborate on your default photo:
It's not a photo of me. Currently, it's a head shot from an Alex Ross painting of Wonder Woman. My only actual photo icon is from a picture of me taken at KCRF during the 2004 season.

3. What's your middle name start with?
D as in Dawn.

4. What is your current relationship status?
Life partner with gmskarka Yum!

5. What EXACTLY are you wearing right now?
jeans, grey t-shirt, berkinstocks, the usual jewelry

6. What is your current problem?
Not enough money and too much drama in the air. I'd like more of the first and less of the second for everyone, please!

7. What do you love most?
My hand-picked family and writing.

8. What makes you most happy?
The act of creation. When the words flow, or my hands draw what my mind sees, or my body finds the right invocation in the music, or the sewing machine is humming, etc...

9. Are you musically inclined?
Inclined, yes. Talented, not so much.

10. If you could go back in time, and change something, what would it be?
Public: I would ensure that both the 2000 and 2004 US presidential elections were honest and above board. I'm afraid that the 2000 elections were rigged, and I'm positive that there was aggresive ballot tampering during the 2004 elections which changed the outcome.
Personal: The time I broke one of my best friend's heart through my complete and utter willfull cluelessness.

11. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day, what would you be?
A hawk or falcon. Flight, baybee.

12. Ever have a near death experience?
Nope.

13. Name an obvious quality you have?
Calm.

14. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
Love Machine (the Wham!UK version)

15. Who did you cut and paste this from?
gmskarka

16. Name someone with the same b-day as you:
Dweezil Zappa. Same day, same year.

17. Have you ever vandalized someone's private property?
Nope.

18. Have you ever been in a fight?
Yep.

19. Have you ever sang in front of a large audience?
Yes - Choir in school. Oh, and Court Sing at KCRF...wait, you said large audience - never mind.

20. What's the first thing you notice about the OPPOSITE sex?
Height. Face. Hands.

21. What do you usually order from Starbucks?
I don't. And it changes when I have done. Chai, maybe?

22. Do you have a crush on anybody from your friends list?
Nope. Crushes are unrequited affection for your own idealized version of what a person is like. Therefore, I have crushes on Simon leBon and Johnny Depp, not on anyone that I actually know. (Not that you aren't all quite nifty.)

23. Ever had a drunken night in Mexico?
Nope. Why would anyone go there?

24. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
Yes. Lots of them. I believe the two most common comparisons have been Brooke Shields (when we were both much younger) and Geena Davis.

25. Do you still watch kiddy movies or TV shows?
Selectively, yes. Doctor Who. Some Disney films. Nearly anything with Muppets. And gmskarka and I occasionally get sucked into nostalgia cartoon viewing on the Boomerang network, but that's very often wince-worthy.

26. Did you have braces?
No. Just retainers. I was probably the only kid I knew who actually wanted them. Still might get some work done, if I can get the insurance figured out.

27. Are you comfortable with your height?
Yes. Quite like it, in fact.

28. [There is no Question 28]
Thank you Monty Python and the Bruces.

29. Do you speak any other languages?
French. Well, mostly I can read French and understand when it's spoken. I'm not really conversational in it.

30. What's your favorite smell?
Wind that carries rain with it. And the smell of old books, which is sort of ironic, because the smell comes from book dust, which means that I'm really enjoying the smell of the death of books.
