Frivolity Courtesy of Carla

I am feeling much better after day two of new job than I was yesterday.  In fact, how about a silly meme right about now? I got this from Carla (Zena Moon).

Do you own a gun?
No

What do you think of hot dogs?
Haven’t eaten one since I discovered what’s in them.
What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
I reach for the water bottle beside the bed first thing. Once I’m up, I have Earl Grey tea or–in winter–Camino cocoa dark, to which I may or may not add stevia.

Can you do push-ups?
Probably not.

What’s your favorite piece of jewelry?
A pin/pendant made by a couple of artists in Ithaca, NY who are married to one another. She paints miniature scenes on glass and he mounts them in tiny metal frames which he works by cutting and stamping patterns into the metal. The one I have is a tuxedo cat among flowers. It reminds me of my late cat, Zelus.

What is your secret weapon to lure the opposite sex?
I am not into luring.
Middle name?
Ann

Name three thoughts at this exact moment:

1. I wonder what email just came (heard the ding)
2. My foot is asleep
3. Am I drinking enough water?

What time did you wake up today?
5:20 a.m.

Current hate?
No hates

Name three drinks you regularly drink:

1. Water
2. Earl Grey tea
3. herbal tisanes

Do you own slippers?
Yes, I’m wearing them now

What shirt are you wearing?
A tee shirt of Sylvain’s
Do you burn or tan?
Burn and freckle which can become tan when all the freckles almost join.

Favorite color(s)?
Depends if it’s for walls, wardrobe, art? I mostly enjoy dazzling juxtapositions of colours, especially warm and cool colours of the same value.

Would you be a pirate?
Some aspects of pirate life appeal to me, like hiding away on an island, eating mangoes and not having a social security number.

What is your favorite holiday?
Persian Solstice Celebration of Shab-e Yalda

What songs do you sing in the shower?
Sometimes silly Irish ditties like The Old Woman from Wexford
What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child?
I didn’t fear the night. I did sometimes experience out of body sensations and enjoyed floating around the upper corners of the room.
What’s in your pockets right now?
No pockets in my jamma pants.
Last thing that made you laugh?
Andrew and Sylvain talking about their foreskins on Violet’s blog.
Best bed sheets as a child?
They were all 100% cotton and groovy hippie patterns–yellow and orange daisies, blue and purple paisley, jungle animals.

Worst injury you’ve ever had?
Was dropped flat on my back by a boy who got me falling down drunk my freshman year. Have had lower back problems ever since that night.

Are your parents still together?
No, father died in 1969.

Do you wish on shooting stars?
No but I very much get a kick out of seeing meteors.

What is your favorite book(s)?
See my The Story page for books that changed my life.
What is your favorite candy?
85% dark chocolate
How is the weather outside right now?
Cold and misty and damp but I like it.
What was your first thought this morning when you woke up?
I will doze for 10 more minutes (and I did, then I got up).

I invite anyone who wants to do this meme to do it (especially Jennifer, who loves to get picked to do memes) and leave us a comment here if you do it.  If you don’t have a blog, you can do it in the comments area. Cheers!
