Do you have any candles in your bedroom? Yes, I do.

Are you guilty of following celebrity gossip? When I go on vacation or when I'm getting a haircut, I read the rags, and I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly. Otherwise no. lol

Do you buy organic food? Not intentionally.

What was the last thing you bought that was on sale? A car full of pop yesterday. Hey, it was buy 2 cases, get 3 free!!

How many clothing items do you own that are in zebra print? Ironically, I got a T-shirt with zebras on it on Friday. I did not select this survey to do because of this, by the way.

Have you ever played seven minutes in heaven? I don't think so. I remember people playing it when I was a kid, though.

Describe the funniest thing you've experienced in the past week: Wow, it's nearly impossible to pick one thing. Maybe waking up the staff on Tuesday 20 minutes after they had asked the breakfast prep crew to be in the kitchen.

Do you feel guilty when people pay for you? Depends on who it is. Generally, no. I'd be stunned beyond belief if one specific individual offered to do this.

What genre of music do you listen to when you feel on top of the world? Dance music. Soundtracks.

Do you know anyone who has survived breast cancer? Quite a few people. One of my best work-friends.

What is something you do every day, no matter what? Breathe. I find it helps get through the day.

What is something that's missing in your life right now? All my tasks from my work Outlook account.

Who in your family seems to have the worst luck? Uhm. No clue.

How many times have you signed onto Livejournal today? Once. Well, technically, I'm always logged in, but I visited there once today.

What genre was the last movie you watched? I guess drama--the latest iteration of War of the Worlds was on, briefly, a couple of hours ago.

Would you rather have a swimming pool or a trampoline? I'd like a landscape gardener on my 'staff' more than either of these. Or a hot-tub.

Are you in a good mood today? Pretty good. Would be better if Beast wasn't freaking me out.

What has been your favorite age in life so far? Mid-20s as long as I didn't have to deal with Psycho-Boss.

What was the best thing you've done all Summer? Well, since summer just started, officially, last week.... I guess it would have to be the trip we just returned from.

Do you have any step siblings? Nope.

Does your family own a big boat, or a boat at all? Nope.

If you have been to a job interview, what has been the worst experience? Well, not getting the job would probably be up there, eh? But, I am fortunate to have fallen into both of my long-term jobs fairly easily.

Have you ever had to do community service? Not willing? I did it last week, but not because a judge told me to. I've never had to be told.

How do you feel about kids who cuss? I don't care for anyone who uses language as a crutch, i.e., repeating words just out of laziness. Like 'like' or 'fuck'--otherwise, swearing doesn't bother me that much.

Would you ever have sex outside, or have you? Sure. (hah)

When was the last time you went ice skating? 31 years ago.

Have you ever made a homemade weapon? I was a child once, yes.

Marijuana. Yes or no? Wholly dependent on the rest of the scenario.
