01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? Nothing romantic.
02) What was your dream growing up? Varied, a princess who went on quests, and an astronaut were the biggest.
03) What talent do you wish you had? More one I wish I'd cultivated...I'd love to be able to play the guitar or piano. I'm sure I could have if I'd studied and applied myself.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be? Assuming I didn't have a migraine or the threat of one, gin and tonic, preferably with Bombay Sapphire.

08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where. Two piercings in each ear lobe.
09) Worst Habit? Procrastination.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? Sure, um, assuming my head wasn't off in the clouds somewhere and I totally failed to notice or recognize you.
11) What is your favorite sport? Not much of a sports fan. On TV I like golf, lots of pretty green nature and at tense bits they get very quiet so they don't wake you up from your nap.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? Oh, optimistic.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Call Maintenance. Then talk, about everything and anything.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you? Hmmm...hard to pin down any one specific thing. Most had silver linings in retrospect. The clinical depression at the end of my hell year in Speech-Path grad school was pretty bad, worse than the breast cancer treatment the next year.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you. I sang a recital in Uppsala, Sweden in the house of Karl Linnaeus, father of the modern system of taxonomy.

18) What was your first impression of me? Calm and intelligent.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Depends on the clown.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I want to have a reduction mammoplasty on the unaffected breast so it's the same size as the treated one. They aren't vastly different in size, you have to really look but I'd like to be symmetrical.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Conscience, probably.
22) What color eyes do you have? Blue with a gold sunburst around the pupil.
23) Ever been arrested? Nope.
24) Bottle or can soda? Bottle.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Pay the co-insurance on my upcoming shoulder surgery and the reduction mammoplasty mentioned above, get a cap/bridge combo to fix my mixed-up lower right canine/incisor teeth, and save the rest towards a new car when mine finally dies.
26) Favorite band to listen to when you're mad? Not sure, Don't think about playing music when I'm mad - strange for a musician but then, for me, music isn't a background thing.
27) What's your favorite place to hang out at? My bed...comfy...mmm...
28) Do you believe in ghosts? I reserve judgment pending satisfactory evidence one way or the other.
29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Read, sew/embroider, noodle around on the internet, play with my nieces and nephew, sleep.
30) Do you swear a lot? Depends on context. Almost never in public, moderately in private, like a trooper with close friends.
31) Biggest pet peeve? People who don't tell me when they have a problem with me. I don't know about it, I can't fix it (if only by going away). Telepathic I'm not.
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself? Eccentric.
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance? Oh, yes.
34) Favourite and least favourite food? (spelling intentional) Ice cream and okra.

A small grey dot on my arm where my little brother stabbed me with a pencil

Wow, me too! I mean, from my kid brother, not yours. Still, wow.
(On actually checking, the mark is scarcely visible after all these years. But it seemed to last forever, and as Big Julie would say, I remember where da spot formerly was.)

[metahacker.livejournal.com]

I have a spot on my palm from where Some Moron stabbed himself me with a pencil when I was...err...6. I guess graphite just persists in the body forever...
