Gag Me Meme

Do you have a sensitive gag reflex?

Not particularly, definitely not as bad as people who can't help clean up a "situation" because they're afraid they'll contribute more vomit. I once worked with someone with nearly-grown children who told me she couldn't handle when the kids got sick because then she would too. WTF? It's not fun, but really?

Where are you the most ticklish?

Like I'm gonna TELL you? Hah! I learned young that you don't give that kind of info to your older brot.... uhm, enemies!

What was the last situation to upset you?

Sparky made a comment on Facebook yesterday upon which one of his friends commented. I responded and was let us just say underwhelmed by his attitude toward my response, education, my job, and me. I left quickly thereafter; Beast continued the conversation private, but about 45 minutes ago he finally threw in the towel. There is no one so ignorant as a know-it-all recent college grad.

Have you ever had an online argument?

Oops, well, yes. This was only the most recent. I am, actually, much quicker to call myself out when things devolve. I also am VERY unafraid of the Block function on Facebook. Some people are just irritating on purpose, and whether they mean to be or not, I don't need more hassle than I've already got.

Do you like to listen to music while filling out surveys (memes)?

Nope, usually it's TV. Right now it's my Howie (Long) and crew on FOX NFL. I love Howie...sigh

How long do you spend on the phone each day, on average?

Talking on the phone? Less than 1. I don't like talking on the phone, but I use my phone for a lot of other things besides phone calls.

Is anything in your hair right now, like gel, hairspray, etc.?

Nope. It's still too humid for product. Once winter really arrives, I'll start using gel again.

When was the last time you were up before the sun? Do you like wearing sunglasses? Why or why not?

What do these questions have to do with each other, really? I'm up before sunrise about 50% of the time overall. Unless you count insomnia in which case, I'm up before the sun every night. My sunglasses are my glasses--they have magic lenses that darken in sunlight. I haven't ever worn sunglasses in my life, except Rx ones.

Last show you watched?

We're watching foo'baw now, just switched to the Cowboys-Eagles game. Hi, CC! [she and my bro live in Dallas; she's originally from Philly]

Next vacation you’re going on?

We're doing a run through the Ozarks next month. I'm going to Mansfield, MO. If you need to ask why there, you're clearly not addicted to the childhood books I am.

Do you regret doing anything you’ve done this week?

How about just today?? I regret stuff almost hourly. Nothing major today, to be fair, but there are some things I wish I'd've done yesterday that are still looming. And some other stuff that I missed the boat.

Last night you felt?

Yes. I did. { snerk }

What are you wearing right now?

Gray cotton capris, gray T-shirt that says "Born Free" on it, underwear, jewelry and a hair clip to keep my bangs off my face.

Have you ever kissed underneath the stars?

Yup. In fact, that's where most of my early kisses happened.

What are you doing now?

Watching TV and answering circular questions.

What plans do you have for tonight?

The Pack plays tonight!! We'll probably order a 'za to eat while we watch. And we need to tidy up the house for the cleaning ladies this week.

What’s the very first thing you do when you wake up, other than breathe?

Look at the clock and figure out if I need to get up or if this is one of the usual many false-alarms: 12:28, 3:12, 5:01...

Do you like reading?

Huh. Yeah. It's ok.

Do you ever think about stuff and start crying?

I occasionally think about people and cry. Things? Not so much.

Have you ever kicked a vending machine?

Uh, no. That would be counterproductive. Remember, I grew up in the era of "TILT" on pinball machines....

Do people consider you smart?

Probably. Except people who think they're smarter than me. ;-)

Have you ever stayed online for a very long time waiting for someone?

This sounds like some sort of existential question that I'm not really equipped to answer today. Anyway, I think Beckett died before the Internet Age was upon us.

Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you?

Very much so. While I wouldn't say I'm hyper-aware, I am usually pretty clear on where people are and what's going on in a broad sense.

How much money did you spend yesterday?

Not a thin dime. I didn't leave my yard, and I didn't shop online.

Is there anything in your past that you’d like to try again?

Sure. Lots of things. I've a long and storied past, some events of which would be a blast to relive.
