1. Can you cook?
About as well as I can draw.

2. What was your dream growing up?
Don't recall having one in particular.

Boulder, CO.

5. Favorite vegetable?
Corn.

6. What was the last book you read?
Gods Behaving Badly, which is entirely Stubble's fault.

Four ear holes, one tat. Saving up for another.

9. Worst Habit?
Oversleeping.

10. Do we know each other outside of lj?
I doubt it strongly, but you never know.

11. What is your favorite sport?
To watch, hockey. To engage in, downhill skiing, if that counts.

I tend to think of myself as a pretty balanced realist, but I suppose at core I'm basically a positive-outlook person.

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Depends on you. My default would be to share a wry grin, sit down, close my eyes and quietly wait it out. But if you want to talk or are claustrophobic and need help chilling out, I'm up for it.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Nothing the internet needs to hear about.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
Harry Potter drives me nuts.

22. What color eyes do you have?
Grey.

No, though mostly because I'm lucky.

24. Bottle or Draft?
Vodka. Or Coke. Or hell, tap water. I've never met a tolerable beer.

25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it?
Buy a car that doesn't make me want to quadruple-check that I have my AAA card on me every time I get in it. Then upgrade to PS3.

26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
Not much of a gum-chewer, but I generally go mint Trident when I'm flying or driving in the mountains.

27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?
B-dub's, I suppose, but I only go there for playoff games.

28. Do you believe in ghosts?
Not especially, but I'm not invested in their nonexistence either. Something of a ghost agnostic perhaps.

29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Reading or gaming. It goes in cycles. (Or writing, but I don't consider that "spare time" any more than dinner or sleep.)

30. Do you swear a lot?
A *lot* only when I'm angry, but I'm still very cognizant of the utility of a well-placed "fuck."

31. Biggest pet peeve?
Incorrect use of apostrophes. ARGH.

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
"Storyteller."

33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Heh. No. I'm a bit surprised at myself for doing this much, actually.

That horoscope thing...my mind is blown!

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Just one? Well, everything else is just aesthetic, so, six inches taller. That way I look more like my self-image and I can reach the top friggin shelf.

Just how short are you?

[identity profile] bluefall.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
5'2". And, like, a half.

What's funny is, I can tell that to people who know me in meatspace and they go "wait, really? Are you sure? I don't remember you being that short."

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-03-11 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
People remember me as being taller than I am as well. Of course, I'm 5'8"...

Okay!

15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
All the books on my shelves have to be AS JUMBLED as possible. Cookery next to big literary novels next to trashy sci-fi etc. No two books of a series or author next to each other. If I have a series, they have to either have ALL IDENTICAL or ALL DIFFERENT covers.

Not with my head, no.

29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

30. Do you swear a lot?

Driven.

33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Probably not!

Re: Okay!

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-03-11 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Curious - were you raised veggie, or did you 'convert'?

All the books on my shelves have to be AS JUMBLED as possible. Cookery next to big literary novels next to trashy sci-fi etc. No two books of a series or author next to each other. If I have a series, they have to either have ALL IDENTICAL or ALL DIFFERENT covers.

I'm not going to sugar-coat it, that... is kind of weird.

Re: Okay!

[identity profile] kay-taylor.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I converted when I was nine - non-veggie family, so they were LESS THAN PLEASED and thought I'd drop dead from malnutrition within the year ;)

I know, the book thing is weird. I just love the way it looks.

[identity profile] parsimonia.livejournal.com 2009-03-06 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
1. Can you cook?
I can bake, I can make quesadilla, pancakes, grilled cheese, cinnamon toast, and a variety of strange snacks.

To be a fashion designer and bring back those ridiculous giant hoop-skirts, for some reason. Also, to be a marine biologist, an actress, an artist, and an astronaut.

3. What talent do you wish you had?
To be able to sing and dance, enough that I could be in a musical.

4. Favourite place?
Home, I guess. I'm fond of the area surrounding Bancroft, Ontario, too. And I went to Greece seven years ago and have never stopped wanting to back (especially Athens, Delphi and Santorini.)

5. Favourite vegetable?
Carrots.

6. What was the last book you read?
The last non-school book I read from start to finish was probably Anna Brownell Jameson's "Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada". Comic-wise, the last thing I read was Booster Gold #17.

Procrastination.

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
I'm sure we'd have plenty of conversation.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
I don't know. My aunt dying last year, I suppose. My life has been pretty tragedy-free, and most of my problems are of my own making.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
When I was a little kid I would take off my socks and drop them into the space behind the chesterfield and the radiator and wall behind it. Then when someone would get around to moving it and vacuuming behind it, there would be a treasure drove of little girl's socks. I have no idea why I did it, but I remember finding the process quite delightful.

No.

17. Do you know how to do the macarena?
YES!

Excel winterfresh. Although I got a free sample box of "5", peppermint flavour, and it's pretty good.

27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?
There are a couple in North York that I like, but I also really like the Bier Markt downtown. They've got strawberry beer there.

28. Do you believe in ghosts?
No, but I like to entertain the idea. I'm a I'll-see-it-when-I-believe-it kind of person, although I have had an odd experience in a place that was *supposedly* haunted.

29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Durrr....comics? Really, I also love doing stuff outdoors, but I don't do it enough.

30. Do you swear a lot?
It depends on my mood, who I'm talking to, what I'm talking about, etc.

31. Biggest pet peeve?
When people are unclear in their meaning in such a way that what they say can be easily misconstrued as something that they really did not mean.

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Goofy?

33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Alrighty.

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-03-11 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Pay for my tuition

That was my answer too. -_-

Have you been to Smokeless Joes?

[identity profile] parsimonia.livejournal.com 2009-03-12 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I've been to a Smokey Joe's? I think there are a number of bars in TO with names like Smokey Joes, Smokeless Joes, Smoking Bones, Smokey Jones, and god knows what else, and it confuses me greatly.

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-03-12 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Smokeless Joes is near Much Music. It's a walkdown bar that has every kind of bear known to man.

[identity profile] parsimonia.livejournal.com 2009-03-12 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, okay, I haven't been there, actually.

It's a walkdown bar that has every kind of bear known to man.

Oh, how I love typos. For a minute there I was wondering what kind of bar had every bear known to man. "Every bear? Really? Polar, grizzly, panda? Were they stuffed? Heads mounted on the wall? Someone should tell Colbert!"

[identity profile] schmevil.livejournal.com 2009-03-12 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yo, pandas aren't bears. Bitch. I'm crying into onto my bear, now. Thanks. *sobs, pets bear*

=*(

[identity profile] parsimonia.livejournal.com 2009-03-12 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, FINE! The koalas and pandas can go to ANOTHER BAR! But I thought that we, as a society, were past segregation at this point. Just because their offspring gestate differently, DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT FLUFFY AND CUTE LIKE "REAL" BEARS!

Just know, that this is bear you've rejected:

Image

Look into his eyes and tell him he's not a bear! I dare you!

(HAHAHAHA I really need sleep.)
