Quiz-o-rama!
1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
“…is concerned. Slam its tail in the door of the milk truck, and…” Me Talk Pretty One Day by Davis Sedaris, waiting to become a bookcrossing book.
2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?: a half of a bagel.
3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?: “Heart of Gold” from the Firefly DVD collection.
4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is: 12:15
5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?: 12:11
6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?: cars from the busy road we live on.
7: When did you last step outside? what were you doing?: Two minutes ago, to pick up the mail. We got a package for my daughter from her grandmother. It contains the stuffed animals my daughter accidentally left at Nana’s on her last visit.
8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at? http://www.tomatonation.com
9: What are you wearing?: Loose black pants, a loose knit (not by me) burgundy top, ankle socks and tan canvas sneakers.
10: Did you dream last night? Yes.
11: When did you last laugh? hard? A half hour ago. I was sending a care package to Jadzia, and when the post office guy stamped the box, it totally caved in. We riffed on the yarn engulfing the post office when the box went through the machine. But being nice and having a good attitude got the guy to take it in back and re-pack it for me. Yay!
12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?: a large world map, an Appalachian Trail calendar, a white board with the names of all my wedding couples and their various states checked off, a poster of a Camille Pissarro print, a picture of myself and my husband, and my two Addy awards. Go me!
13: Seen anything weird lately?: My daughter stacked a small plastic goat on top of a small plastic polar bear. The polar bear represents a troll to her, for the Three Billy Goats Gruff. In this house, it doesn’t qualify as weird, but I suppose it does in the real world.
14: What do you think of this quiz?: It’s interesting, and a bit stream of consciousness-y.
15: What is the last film you saw?: Hidalgo. That Viggo sure is easy on the eyes.
16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?: I’d pay off our debts, mortgage, car, put some money away for my daughter’s college, give some money to relatives who need it, etc. I’m afraid I’m a very practical person about money these days. What do they say? “Time ain’t money if all you got is time.”
17: Tell me something about you that I don’t know: I thought my husband was a total idiot the first time I met him.
18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?: Free education for everyone.
19: Do you like to dance?: Yes. I look like I’m having a seizure, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy it less.
20: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?: Emily. Although we almost went with Molly.
21: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?: Alexander? Ross? Daniel? Cuthbert? I have no clue.
22: Would you ever consider living abroad?: Sure, if they had proper resources for my child – and if I were a multi-millionaire as above so that I could jet back whenever I wanted to. But truth to tell, I like the place I live.
23: Will you pass on this survey?: Sure!
