From this point forward I'm done answering repetitive, childish questions. I'm going to throw in my own when I deem a question too stupid to live. You'll know which ones, I promise.
Friday Night: sneaking in a quick survey while I wait up for the kids' return from a pool party
What was the last thing that made you smile? Beast's return from the Far Western Edge.
If you could fast forward life, would you? Parts of it, certainly. I'd be more than willing to skip December 26 through March 1 every year.
Has there been a day this week you just wanted to say "fuck it"? Has there been a day this week when I haven't wanted to? Perhaps the question might be whether I've verbalized the sentiment, but I have. Actually, verbatim.
If your ex showed up at your front door wanting you back, what would you say? I wouldn't recognize him, and I'd definitely call the police.
Are you a shy person or outgoing? Bit o' the both. I find myself very uncomfortable around people from whom I sense condescension.
What are you listening to? Beast has NASCAR-flipped-with-golf on the TV while he sorts through his dad's bills and prepares to pay them. Welcome to my living room.
Your best friend likes your ex, are you mad? Well, wouldn't that be weird! Only one of my best friends even met my last ex, or would know who he was!
When is the last time you cried and why? Today. Song lyrics. At work, yeah pure awesomeness!
Where is the last person you kissed? Currently feeding Ruka. So much for bill-paying, nu?
Will you kiss the last person you kissed again? I think it's in the contract. Yeah.
Do you like to
How old are you? Officially: 46. Physically: 50. Mentally: 19. Metaphysically: -5.
What time did you get up this morning? I got up at about 6:30. Sigh....
Are you sleeping alone tonight? For the first time since Sunday, I will have to share the sheets.
What's your favorite
Does the person you like, like you back? We're still married, so I guess he at least tolerates me. He keeps coming home from business trips. So far. ;-)
Who are three friends you can always count on? Beast, Jenny, Amy.
Are you excited about the future? Yup. I'm wearing shades. [Except for those stupid winter months...]
Has anyone ever told you they love you and didn't mean it? How the fuckety-fuck would I know?!
Whats [sic] your favorite
Are you happy with the way your life is going right now? My life right now could not be more interesting and fun...and complicated.
Do you miss someone right now? I have very good aim, so...no.
If you could be anywhere right now,
If I say "psycho", who is the first person that comes to your mind? Sparky.
Is there a specific moment you can replay in your mind perfectly? Oh yeah. Oddly, I vividly remember accidentally breaking the crystal champagne flute in 1988.
Who was the last person to call you and why? Beast. Which pisses me off, since Sparky was supposed to call when he arrived at tonight's party. He is in SO.MUCH.SHIT when he gets home.
Do you plan on sleeping in tomorrow? That ain't happening in the foreseeable future, at least not in the next week or so.
If you were in the hospital on life support, would the last person you kissed come see you? He'd better be there enforcing my damn DNR order!
Have you ever spent the night with the last person you kissed? I . am . MARRIED . to . him.
What was the first thing you thought of this morning?
"Nooooooo....wanna sleep iiinnnnnn...."
Do you think you've ruined your chances with someone? Yup. Feels good, too.
Do you think there are circumstances when it's okay to wait for someone? Only if you're at different doors at the mall.
Would you rather go to California or leave the country? I need a vacation so badly that I'm not about to be fussy about where I go!
Are you legal to drink? Ahhhh-dohhhh? What a weird way to phrase this question. I was going to change it, but it's so weird. And, as I'm drinking Bacardi and DP intermittently as I do this meme, I am drinking so fuckit.
Think back to the last person you kissed, how many times have you cried in front of them? Let's see...known him for 27-ish years...I cry regularly...so 1,327 times? At least.
Have you ever been caught skipping class? I've never really skipped class, except in college on Senior Skip Day (when there weren't classes anyway).
Have you ever fallen asleep
Six months ago,
Do you know anyone that smokes weed, or has? I'm about the only person over 30 I know who hasn't (intentionally), and I know at least a few teens/20-somethings who do. Or have.
Made out with a stranger? Pretty much, yeah.
Made parents cry? If so why? I took my job very seriously in my teen years, at least the part that involved "being stupid." And then, later, too. My parents were pretty easy criers though, so it wasn't exactly a challenge.
Dated someone more than once? I've heard that leads to marriage....
Have you ever kissed anyone who's name starts with a, j,c,n,d,i or t? Yes. Some of those. Not all of them, but quite a few, now that I really think back.... [and I'm only including "those" kinds of kisses, by the way, which isn't exactly fair since the type of kiss wasn't specified...]
What did you do today? Got up. Took the kids to school. Went to the store and bought a couple of mixes to make for the party tonight. Came home and made the fastest batch of brownies ever, and then took a bath. Took out the brownies. Went and got my hair cut. Came home, made cinnamon swirl cake. Went to work. Came home, made sure the kids headed out more-or-less on time for the pool party. Ate dinner. Welcomed Beast home. Memed.
What do you want for your birthday? Whirled peas.
Is there anyone who doesn't like you? Uhm, virtually certain, yeah.

Promise not to lie or erase any of these questions? Not erasing, just editing.
Your ex says they never even liked you, you say? I'm unlikely to find out about it.

When did you first get
When was the last time you were told you were cute? Earlier this week.

Feel like talking to someone that you haven't in a while? Not really. Kinda tired tonight.
Would you date someone three years older than you? Not as long as Beast is around. He frowns on my dating people other than he.

Monday night waiting for the kids to return from movie night
Could you see yourself dropping out of high school? Seeing as how I graduated almost 30 years (fuck me!) ago, no. And at the time, my parents would have totally killed me.
Have you ever received a
Are you a different person now than you were five years ago? Depends on your definition. Skin-wise, yes. Otherwise, I suspect there are differences, but my DNA is the same.
Did you sleep alone last night? The part of the night I slept, Beast was mostly with me. I spent part of the night on the couch doing Sudoku and trying to get back to sleep.
Has anyone ever sang to you? Not seriously, no. Has anyone ever taught you how to conjugate verbs?
Has anybody ever told you that you have pretty eyes? I don't remember anyone saying that, at least not for realz.

Do you have unlimited texting? Pretty close, considering how much I use it.
Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Work. Make dinner. Find out about how Chicago was for the girls.
Any plans for today? It's 9:40 p.m. so I think I'm pretty much done planning anything but brushing my teeth and going to bed.
Do you listen to music everyday? I try to. If I go without for too long, I tend towards The Cranky.
Do you laugh a lot? Yes.
Do you want your tongue pierced? I think I've outgrown the need to put unnecessary holes in my body.
Are you the type of person who has a new boyfriend/ "girlfriend" every week? Again, Beast frowns on my dating.
I would have fixed or deleted this one if it weren't for the really ...unusual... use of quotation marks in it. What do you suppose is up with that?
Who was the last person to text you? Beast.
Hold hands with anyone in the last 2 days? I probably grabbed Beast's hand at some point over the weekend.
Is there any emotion you're trying to avoid right now? Trying to keep myself from pettiness. Is that an emotion?

What does your hair look like right now? Pony. Dirty. Shower. Tomorrow.
Are you dressed up today? Jeans, T, mocs. So, yeah...no.
Do you need a girlfriend/ boyfriend to be happy? Good Lord: that would just make my life way too complicated! I'm not at ALL interested in that.
Is a best friend/ boyfriend/ girlfriend or ex pissing you off at the moment? So, the question is really "Are you pissed off about someone at the moment?" No. I'm mildly irritated by some typically irritating teenage behavior, but that's all. Mostly, I'm just tired.
Is having sex on your mind? Not at this very moment. Or at least, not until the subject was raised.

How many chances do you tend to give people before enough is enough? Too-fucking-many.

Next time you will kiss someone? In about ten minutes, when I head up to bed.

Are you happy with the choices you've made? Probably close to 80% of them.
If the year consisted of only one season, which would you choose? Autumn. Anything eventually happens in fall anyway.
What were you doing last night at midnight? I think that was part of the night when I was asleep.
Do you know anyone who would just drop everything to come see you? Yeah, I guess.
Have you ever done something you told yourself you wouldn't do? On a regular basis. Pretty much daily.

Tuesday afternoon waiting for dinner to cook
Do you usually apologize first? Sorry, what? Oh, yeah, I do.
Is anyone else in the room with you? Yes, three people and a guinea pig.
Do you believe what goes around comes around? It's not exact, but quite often you get what you give/gave.
Did you sleep alone last night? Nope.
Was your last kiss drunk or sober? It was 25 minutes ago in the kitchen. Neither of us has started drinking yet.
Be honest, who is the easiest person in your life to talk to? Beast. Usually.
Have you ever taken someone back after they hurt you? Romantically, I've never really been in a situation where I've been hurt so bad I wouldn't take someone back if they showed remorse. I've taken some friends back that I wish later I hadn't.
How did you wake up this morning? I was sort of awake before the radio came on, but I ended up dozing too long.
Are relationships ever really worth it? Nope. Let's all go live in our own caves and never talk again. You first.
When was the last time you were in a very good mood? Right now I'm in a decent mood. Especially after that last question.
Do you like thunderstorms? I do, very muchly.
When was the last time you had a Jolly Rancher? It's been awhile. I don't eat hard candy much anymore because my teeth can't take it.
Do you think that you overuse the word "like"? I do, but not like (ahem) the teenagers I know.
Do carrots remind you of anything? They remind me a LOT of Sparky. He LOVES them!
Do you know anyone whose birthday is in August? Loads. Three family members, two friends, plus three wedding anniversaries.
Have you ever had sushi? Did you love it or did you hate it? I can't really bring myself to eat raw fish...sounds hideous.
Are you procrastinating on anything? Probably. In the big picture yes, absolutely.
---
Tuesday night, I should be going to bed, but I want to finish this thing!
What are your pets' names? Just the Ruk-star.
When was the last time you ate pizza? Was it delicious? Saturday, Beast and I ate at California Pizza Kitchen, and it was fab. We're having German pizza tomorrow night. Should be interesting.
What was the last CD you listened to? The book in the truck on the way home from work.
How many Starbucks can you think of right now, that are in your town? There is one Starbucks in the city where I work (which should give you a clear picture of how big the city is, eh?). But that question is grammatically fubar.
What's the funniest inside joke you have with a friend? I still think the "ruthless" joke 25+ years ago was pretty funny. Not that I remember it, just the 20-minutes of extreme laughter that resulted.
What time is it? 10:04 p.m.
Do you often make typing mistakes? Define "often." I make my share. But not that many.
What condiments do you prefer on your french fries? Burgers? Salt on my fries. The works on my burgers.
Is it hard for you to admit you're wrong? Depends on how committed I am to the subject.
When was your last haircut? Friday.
Harry Potter: do you like it or no? Do I like "it"? Last I checked "it" was a fictional character of the male persuasion. And I like the books, and the movies, but I'm glad most of the hysteria has settled.
Do you like sugar cookies? OMG! They are, or should be, their own food group!
What was the last thing to get on your nerves? Oh, shitloads of stuff gets on my nerves. The full glass of juice one of the girls left on the dining room table after dinner (4 hours ago) is annoying.
Are you hungry? Nah, I just had 4 blonde Oreos. And a BIG dinner!
Are you a shy person? Deep down, yes. I'm a fairly decent actress however.
Ever walked on a rooftop? Ayup.
Have you ever dated the same person twice? I don't think I understand this question. I dated Beast freshman year in college (sorta), and then stopped for awhile sophomore year. And (obviously) we dated again junior and senior years. Is that what this means.
Ever dyed your hair? Every 5-6 weeks for the past 10 years.
What are you most anxious/excited for? Next week's conference.
Met anyone new this year? Dear God. Please help this person get out more. Amen. [Yes]
Have you ever slept on a couch with someone else? Yes. Long ago, when I was MUCH thinner than I am today.
