People i see can make us invisible.

(Found here)

At family gatherings, are you more likely to hang out with the younger or older relatives? I'd rather hang with the younger ones, but since the older ones are technically mostly my generation, I have to talk to them too. Oh, well. ;-)

Have you ever had the power go out while you were in the bathroom at nighttime? I don't think so. Yup. The power goes off in this house all the freakin' time. We don't have windows in our bathrooms, so night or day mean darkness in the bathroom with no electricity. It occurs to me that perhaps we ought to have flashlights in all the bathrooms.

Do you agree that "nice guys finish last"? Nope. Based on the conversation I had online this week online, nice guys frequently don't finish at all.

Considering you current health, how long do you think you will live? Oh, I'm feeling rather fatalistic lately. I'm hoping to make 50 without any serious bad news. If I do that, I may make it to old age pretty easily.

Do you have anything in your room that would be 'weird' to others? In my 'room'?
How about in my house? I have loads of weird shit in this place!

What TV commercial are you sick of seeing? Pretty much all of them. The NFL ad about the Cowboys and the Redskins just pisses me off because it's so fucking lame.

When was the last time someone complimented you on your hair? Y'know, people who know Sparky are always telling me they love the color of my hair. However, I started putting the red IN my hair because people kept telling me it was there already (and it was NEVER, EVER even faintly red)! But people will see what they see, and I decided to give 'em what they see. And they like it. {eyeroll}

What would you think if you found out your mom/dad had another kid with someone else and didn't tell you? At this point, I think that would be highly unlikely news to receive.

Do you usually catch a cold during the winter? I usually get sick at some point, yes. I don't think I had a particularly bad time this last winter.

What scares or scared you most about going to college/university? Not knowing ANYone. I was freakin' terrified the first week, until classes started.

Have you ever done geocaching? Nope. Not all that interested in doing it, either.

Are you a good multi-tasker? In some areas, yes.

What was the last game you won? Uhm...can't even think of the last time I competed against someone else.

Do you know any deaf people? If so, is it easy or difficult to have conversations with them? My dad and his mother were hard of hearing. There are several people at church with hearing aids. I don't know anyone who is completely deaf, but I'm pretty good at talking to hard-of-hearing people. Main thing to remember: don't shout, just speak clearly and face them while talking.

When you hear the name Rory, do you think of a boy or a girl? Boy. Ironically, there's a person on the show I'm watching named Rory.

What makes your favourite TV show unique? Well, back in the day, CSI was pretty ground-breaking with the massive zoom-in camera shots. Now, it's just another crime show, but I do like the characters.

What are you currently wearing? Beige shorts, tan Tshirt, underwear and some jewelry.

Do you enjoy playing Monopoly? Why or why not? If I can find someone to play with, I'll play, but that's not such an easy thing. And we would probably play anything OTHER than Monopoly anyway.

Is there a doorknocker on your front door? Nope. There is a big window, so no place for a knocker.

What was behind your last status update? (Facebook or Twitter, etc.) Last night's Fb update was "I am no longer heat-tolerant. Not at all." It was because I nearly threw up from the heat at a party we were at.

Do 'laugh tracks' on TV shows annoy you? I don't watch any shows with laugh tracks. In fact, that may be why I don't want sit-coms. I haven't intentionally watched one since about season 3 of Friends.

How many times in your life have you seen a dead bird, approximately? Several dozen.

Do you think dreadlocks are awesome or gross? One of the high school girls at my workplace has had her hair in dreads for 3 years. I find them...interesting but vaguely repellent on a theoretical level.

Can you correctly define an anemone? Nope, though I do know how to pronounce it at least. ;-) Oh, and it lives in water.

Have you ever been to www.videojug.com? Yes, though I don't know why.

Would you rather live out of a van for a year or share a house with three other families? If it were a big ol' house, I couple probably share the house.

Do you know anyone named Jesus? Uhm, I've met guys named Jesus, but I don't think I know any of them very well.

How many parents under 25 do you know? Again, I don't think I "know" any, but I've certainly met a few.

What colour was the last piece of gum you ate? I don't 'eat' gum. The last piece I chewed was white.

Where do you get blisters the most? I don't. Get blisters, I mean. Seriously canNOT remember the last blister I had.

Do you always use conditioner when you wash your hair? Nope, especially not in the summer.

What is an interesting fact about your state/province? It's fucking FLAT. And FULL of corn.

How old are the headphones you are currently using? I'm not currently using headphones. The ones I use at work are 2-3 years old (Bose Noise-Suppressing--awesome, though apparently my boss hates them), the ones at home are a couple of years old and are generic earbuds that came with my MP3 player.

Were you ever into Pokémon? I'm 46. You figure out the answer to that.

Have you ever been to a high school football game? If so, was it in warm or cold weather? Ha ha ha ha ha.....so funny! Every varsity game we went to last year--every Friday night--it rained and was unpleasantly cold. I have been at hot games, cold games, frigid games, wet games, WHYTHEFUCKISanyoneHERE games...me loves foodt-bawl!

Do your parents tell you what kind of people you can and can't date? Not so much anymore. My husband has certain requirements about my dating habits, however.

What kind of laundry detergent do you use? Cheap and unperfumed.

Is there a topic about which you know everything (or, at least, a WHOLE lot)? I know an awful lot about the Dewey Decimal System...

If you were playing a sport and you got to pick your number, which one would you choose? 63 sounds good.

What stereotypes do you associate with certain names? Could we be any vaguer with this question? Are we still talking about Rory and Jesus? I mean, really?

Do you think there are certain situations in which it is better to lie than to tell the truth? I think there are tactful ways of telling the truth without hurting people's feelings. I also think "I don't know/I'm not sure" is a perfectly acceptable non-lie.

What's the worst thing you've ever done to another person? Metaphorically jammed their head up their ass (or extracted same).

Do people often mistake you for other ethnicities? If so, what do you usually get? I'm pretty easily pigeon-holed. Since I got married, I get the occasional elderly person who thinks I might be Jewish because of my name.

Have you ever been on 4chan? What is your opinion of it? Just went there the first time. Whatever.

Has anyone famous ever attended your school? Who? Lee Horsley is the only person I'm aware of. Not something I care about, either way.

Do you think it is ever appropriate to use more than one exclamation point?!!!! Sure. If you're dealing with or are a teenager.

Have you ever had to attend an event that occurred on your birthday? I have to W O R K on my birthday! Grow the fuck up.

Have you ever felt superior to another person because of an opinion you had that differed from theirs? All the time. All the freakin' time.

How many subscribers and friends do you have on Xanga? No Xanga for me.

How would you feel about your SO watching pornography? ...whatever...I guess it depends if he's going to lie about it.

Have you ever met up in person with anybody that you met online? Sure. Many times. Guess what: I'm still alive!

If you were in a relationship, how would you prefer to be broken up with? Quickly and surgically.

Who was your best boyfriend/girlfriend? I guess I kind of have to say Beast, having known him for 27 (OMG) years now.

What do you think makes a girl a slut? Do you believe that label is thrown around far more often than it should be? And finally, do you think it's unfair that mostly only women receive that label? I think guys are starting to be labeled this way too, but face it: kids (people) are going to be mean about each other about something. This is just one more way.

This is a pretty good meme. :-) I might have to swipe it for further use.
