OLOGY

TECHNOLOGY
Q. What is your wallpaper on your computer?
I have a sweet pic I took of Jen a couple weeks ago. Before that it was a rude picture of three guys in a museum doing the -M-C-A to Jesus's outspread arms on the Cross as a Y to make a Village People song and dance. Tsk tsk tsk. Going to hell, am I.

Q. How many televisions do you have in your house?
One.

BIOLOGY
Q. Are you right-handed or left-handed?
I am right-handed. My brother writes equally well with either.

Q. Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
Tonsils, adenoids wisdom teeth, appendix, gall bladder, ovarian cysts, uterine polyps...

Q. What is the last heavy item you lifted?
I think it had something to do with the garden. Most likely, anyway... I'm not supposed to be lifting heavy things. .


BULLSHITOLOGY
Q. If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
Nope.

Q. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
Nah... no name changing, though I may take back my maiden name as a hyphen later in life. I miss it.

Q. What color do you think looks best on you?
Pretty much anything but yellow.

Q. Have you ever swallowed a non-food item?
Sure. Including the probe for my endoscopy (EWWW).

DAREOLOGY
Q. Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100?
I'd do it for nothing, but if you've got the money, I'll pretend it'd take $100 to make me do it.

Q. Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000?
Nope.

Q. Would you never blog again for $50,000?
I really couldn't do that.

Q. Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?
Nope.

Q. Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
Um, no. It may be ok going down... but coming out?? OUCH.

Q. Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?
Only to relieve pain in a situation like assisted suicide.

Nuttin!

Q: Is Napoleon Dynamite actually a good movie?
No.

Q: Do you have hardwood or carpet in your house?
Both.

I love baths, but if I have to shower, I stand (what kind of question is this??).

Q: How many pairs of flip flops do you own?
One.

LASTOLOGY

Crash.

FAVORITOLOGY

Spring.

Q: Color?
Blue. No, red. No, green.. eh... Anything but yellow, and even that on a wall looks good in certain situations!

CURRENTOLOGY

Q: Missing someone?
I'm always missing someone. Life is full of people you've lost. What you do with what you have learned from them is what determines your mettle.

Q: Mood?
Contemplative.

Q: Listening to?
The dog snuflfing in her sleep.

Q: Watching?
The screen.

Q: Worrying about?
Money. Bills. Traveling. Getting everything done this week that needs doing. Ditto for next week.

Burgundy short sleeved top, white capri knit bottoms.

RANDOMOLOGY

Q: First place you went this morning?
Morning? I was awakened at 3 with the dog wanting to go out, and was up until almost 5... I went back to bed and didn't get up again until a moment after noon.  

Q: What can you not wait to do?
See Crash later today. Get on with the next four weeks' worth of business then fun. See the mountains again and breathe in the clean air and hear nothing but aspens and animals. Ride steam trains.

Q: Do you smile often?
Almost all the time. I smile a lot.

Q: Are you a friendly person?
Not always ... I think I lend an air IRL of being aloof and formidable. Online? I don't know. Comment and tell me!

OMG. It's True!

You Are a Boston Creme Donut
You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you.
But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft.
You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily.
You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out.
