Oh good, kesselegend has sent me another meme...isn't that special?

I think this will be my last one--at least for another week or two. So if anyone reading this is or was planning on tagging me...give it a rest for a few weeks, ey? I don't mind getting tagged, mind you, but it's been getting a tad carried away of late.

This is another long one so this is: PART I

Anyway--last one (promise):

1. What book are you currently reading, or what was the last book you read?

I'm currently reading "The Medea" by Euripides, the Grene and Lattimore translation.

2. What do you do before bedtime?

Make one last check my e-mail, make sure the cats have enough food and water for the night, shower, sometimes sit up in bed reading.

3. What would your dream date or perfect night out with your partner be like?

Well, I dunno'. Not something I've given a lot of thought to in the last 10 years or so. I suppose, I'd just like to be with someone I'm really comfortable with, and maybe we'd talk over coffee or Cokes, or perhaps, maybe we'd go play some crazy golf, or shoot some pool, or ten-pin bowling? Perhaps we'd watch a flim we both like, or maybe play a board game and listen to music....I'm honestly not sure, all I can say is that I'm not someone who needs to be wined and dined, really, I'm just, by my nature, not the kissy-cuddly type.

4. If you could live in any city in the world, which one would you choose?

I'm not really a "city" type of person, but I suppose, because of all the cultural attractions--and also as some of my friends aren't far from there--I'd choose London.

5. What makes you most unhappy these days?

Me.

6. What makes you most happy?

Always happy when my friends tell me they are happy or have some good news.

7. Would you prefer being single and rich, or married and poor?

You know, I'm single and wouldn't mind at all being rich....but, if by some crazy miracle (and it would HAVE to be a genuine miracle) some guy actually truly loved me--even with all my faults, then it wouldn't matter at all to me, if we were living in a boxcar and eating vienna sausages all week long.

8. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?

Giving.

Are you obsessed with a televison series, soap opera or reality show?

Yes...but trying to back away from it.

9. What's your favourite gemstones to wear in jewelry?

Never given it much thought, but I suppose I tend towards lapis, garnet or emeralds. I most like sapphire, but consider it (if it's the real gem) to be unlucky (long story)...sometimes turquoise, as well.

10. What color are your bedroom curtins?

Brown and beige.

11. What color is the chair you are sitting in?

The cushions are are a tan, brown and forest green plaid.

12. Have you ever owned an orange tabby (ginger) cat?

Yes, have three of them--well one's ginger and white.

13. Do you know anyone living in Paris, New York City, Los Angles, London or Rome?

I have a couple of internet pals who live in London, and a former classmate of mine is currently living in New York City, and I know two people in Los Angles--tho' not well.

14. Do you know anyone who lives in Vermont, Utah, Alabama or Oregon?

My sister lives in Vermont.

15. What is the last thing you put a postage stamp on?

My rent payment for July.

16. When's the last time you held a baby?

16 or 17 years ago, I think.

17. Puppies or kittens?

I've spent years attending cat and dog births. As for puppies and kittens, I think they're both wonderful! But, while kitens scratch you and run around like loons, puppies pee on you and fuss a lot, so prefer kittens, I suppose.

18. Favorite flavor of mouthwash?

Tropical mint

19. What kind of car were you driving 10 years ago?

I think I was still driving my Buick station wagon

20. When is the last time you went to a Six Flags or other amusement park?

I worked at an amusement park in 98/99.

21. Choose one: Day at the races or day at the shopping mall?

Races--if it's horses.

22. Do you have any wallpaper or wood paneling at home?

Some of that naf 70's dark wood paneling in my kitchen--hate it.

23. The closest thing to you that is green?

The cushion under my bottom.
