S A D S E C T I O N

01. Have you ever really cried your heart out? Well, not literally! But figuratively, yes. And quite regularly, too.

02. Have you ever cried yourself to sleep? Not too often. I usually only manage to cry until I feel stupid and have a headache.

03. Have you ever cried on a friend's shoulder? Oh, dear; all my friends have soggy shoulders!

04. Do you cry when you get an injury? Eventually. Ironically, the worse the injury, the less crying I do.

H A P P Y S E C T I O N

01. Are you a happy person? Depends. Overall, I do feel as if it's getting harder and harder to achieve unadulterated happiness.

02. What can always make you happy? Babies, giggles from anyone, good music, flashes of brilliance (defined in many ways), and people doing stuff that makes them happy. And cows.

03. Do you wish you were happier? Yes.

04. Is being happy overated ? Not for me.

05. Can music make you happy? See above...yes.

L O V E S E C T I O N

Anyone besides your family ever said they loved you? Yes.

Have you ever told someone you loved them? Of course.

Did you mean it? ...I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it!

H A T E S E C T I O N

01. Who do you actually hate? I don't think there's anyone I hate. A large number of people are really freakin' annoying, though.

02. Have you ever made a list? A list of people I hate? Wow, uh, no.

03. Are you a mean bully? No, I'm a nice bully. Actually, I shouldn't joke; I've known people who were bullyish with their niceness. In seriousness, I can be very pushy with Certain People (primarily offspring). Ahem.

04. Do you like George Bush? I'm sure that he's a lovely person to have as a friend. As a politician, however, he bites. And sucks. And blows. Which is pretty amazingly difficult.

MOVING ON

1. When was the last time you shaved your legs? Friday night.

2. What were you doing this morning at 8? Sleeping, and having some very odd dreams.

3. What were you doing 15 minutes ago? This meme. And, uh, reading my RSS feeds.

4. What are you wearing right now? See above. I don't change clothes THAT often.

5. Are you mad at anyone right now? Not mad. Annoyed.

6. The last two people to say they loved you: Beast and Sparky.

7. Kissed someone in the last 24 hrs? Yep.

8. Are you happy with your living arrangements? Yes.

9. Last thing received in the mail? Another offer for another "fabulous" deal from Comcast. Which went directly into the recycling bin with the rest of 'em.

10. Have you ever been searched by the cops? Nope. I could avoid that for the rest of my life, too, and die pretty happy!

11. Are you a GoofyAuctions.com type of person? Never heard of it, but upon cursory examination I don't have time for it.

12. How many different drinks have you had today? 3 DPs and a large cranberry juice. And water.

13. What have you eaten today? Less than usual. Yay.

14. Are you any good at math? I have moments of intelligence, and some really stupid moments, too.

15. What did you do Friday night? Put in my newly-prescribed eyedrops and finally felt less like ripping my eyes out of my head.

16. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach? Nope. And I'm racking my brain to remember the last time I was at a beach doing ANYthing.

17. Are you taken for granted? Hello? I'm the mother of a teenager. Hell, I'm a mom in almost any capacity! Otherwise, I don't really know. Probably. Yes.

18. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight? Yes.

19. Do you like the ocean? ...eh, whatever...it's nice, I guess.

20. Did you stay friends with your ex? The first ex I've seen in about fifteen years was at our college reunion, and I'm not sure how much of an "ex" he was, but it was very interesting watching him figure out who I was when I introduced myself. I almost laughed. Apparently, he had fun, too. ;-)

21. What are you excited about? Sadly, right this minute I'm only excited about sleeping. I'm kinda looking forward to the museum tomorrow but it's a muted excitement.

25. Do you remember the best night of your life? Just one? How could you forget something that you remember this way??

26. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone? As long as the other person doesn't kick me all night (ahem, Sparky), I don't really care. I do sleep a little better alone.

27. How many piercings do you have? One in each earlobe.
