Do you trust people easily? In the big-picture, I probably do. However, as individuals go, I probably don't. Or, maybe it's the other way around.

Do you get along with your parents? I got along great with my dad most of the time. Mom & I had a fraught relationship.
What about other people? Did other people get along with my parents? Or do I get along with other people? I work with the public, so on some level I must do all right. And my parents did all right as well, though Dad was more of a social butterfly than Mom by a factor of 100.

5/12 7:31 a.m.
Are you...
A bitch? "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint...."
A daydreamer? Not as often I should be.
Shy? In some circumstances, yes.
Talkative? It has been known to happen, yes. ;-)
Energetic? Sometimes.
Happy? Overall, yes. More 'content' than 'happy' though, I guess.
Depressed? Sometimes.
Funny? That too may have happened a couple of times in my life.
Slutty? Not so much.
Boring? Hell yeah! It's my claim to fame!
Mean? I do try not to be mean. I prefer the term "direct" which some might say is mean.
Nice? Ugh, probably too much so.
Caring? I was told many years ago by someone I love that this is one of my better qualities. I'm not so sure, honestly.
Trustworthy? Sometimes.
Confident? About some things.
Friendly? I can be. If I try.
Smart? Yup.
Sarcastic? Who, me?? Surely you jest!
Dependable? Hmmm, what's the difference between this and 'trustworthy'? I think I'm probably more dependable than trustworthy.
Quiet? Usually. Except when I'm pissed off or laughing.
Weird? Assuredly.
Adaptable? Sure.
Strong (emotionally)? Oh, yeah.
Strong (physically)? Not. At. All.
Mature? {hands rise from the keyboard as I ponder snarky answers} Yes.
Logical? Of course I am! Just because YOU don't understand MY logic... lol
Religious? From the outside, it probably looks that way. Kinda depends on your definition. I go to church, I believe in (most of) the tenets of Presbyterianism, at least in theory. I read the Bible. Does that make me religious?
Modest? My running-free-and-naked days are far in the past.
Indesicive? I can be. Just ask Beast.
Sympathetic? Too much so.
Polite? When I'm not playing a giant game of foot-in-mouth, yes.
Creative? Yes.
Fun to be around? Depends who you ask, and when.
Loveable? Somehow, yes. I wouldn't say "cuddly" though.
Easily Amused? Yes. About some things anyway: the Three Stooges don't make me laugh at all, for instance.
Outgoing? I have achieved Oscar-level skilz in pretending to be this.
Daring? I like to think so, about some things.
Clumsy? Yes. I nearly fell over getting into the car yesterday, to the point that Sparky started chortling.
Nosy? Not as much as some people.
Lazy? I'm very interested, always, in finding the easiest way to do things. Does that make me lazy? (and, yes, I am, by the way)
Scary? I can be. I like to think of this as my "mystique" at work....
Optimistic? I tend this direction.
Persuasive? This is not a trait I cultivate, honestly.
A good listener? Sometimes.
Curious? In the non-nosy sense, yes.
Determined? Uhm, yeah. (Thanks, Dad)
Artistic? Not really.
Honest? I try. I really do.
Respectful? Usually I start that way, but if it's not reciprocated, my supply runs out pretty quick.
Conceited? Probably in some areas.
Cocky? Can be.
Controlling? Well, I do try not to be, but it's hard not to tell people when they constantly do things the wrong way! (kidding, mostly)
Playful? Yes.
Easygoing? I try.
Carefree? I wouldn't use this word ever. Not about me, or anyone else.
Hot Headed? That would be another "thanks, Dad" yes.
Serious? More than you'd think.
Thoughtful? Yes, I think about things.
Considerate? When I can pull myself out of my navel-gazing.
Stubborn? Well, hello again, Dad! Yes.
Romantic? Perish the thought!! Not at all.
Ambitious? No. I am not this, except in terms of trying to do things well.
Jealous? Not really.
Insecure? Sometimes.
Obsessive? Yes. A little.
Attentive? Hmmm...omg, SQUIRREL!!
Helpful? Yeah. It's a gift. Or, as we say at church, a fruit of the Spirit.
Punctual? I'm much less compulsive about this than I used to be, but I do like to be on time.
Rational? Of course!
Sincere? Mostly.
Tolerant? Oh, how I do try to be.

***

Fifty Secrets. You have to be completely honest.
Let's go.

5/12 7:57 a.m.
Zero - Who was your last text from? Beast, I think. My phone is charging in my room, where said Beasty is still asleep, so I'm not going to go look right now.
The last thing I read/am reading: I just finished 1222 by Anne Holt yesterday. I'm reading a couple of random things, but I can't remember the titles and (again) I'm not going to go dig them up right now.

One - Where was your default pic taken? The one that is currently on Facebook is a close-up crop of a picture Beast & I took of ourselves last summer in Ouray, specifically at Billy Goat's Gruff.

Two - Your relationship status? Unchanged since last night.

Three - Have you ever lost a close friend? They aren't lost, just misplaced.

Four - What is your current mood? Tahred, but ok otherwise. Got a shitload of stuff that needs doing today and tomorrow around the house, and a little concerned about that.

Five - What’s your brother(s)/sister(s) names? In order from oldest to youngest: Marie, Ellen (deceased), Jean (deceased), Del...and then me.

Six - Where do you wish you were right now? Having looked at the picture from the last website above, I have the "missings" for Ouray now. ...sigh

Seven - Have a crazy side? Yes, I think that it's safe to say that I have been known to be a little goofy at times.

Eight - Ever had a near death experience? Not precisely.

Nine- Something you do a lot? Net-surf.

Ten - Angry at anyone? No. Mildly- to moderately-annoyed at several people at work, but trying not to think about that right now.

Eleven - What’s stopping you from going for the person you like? The fact that he's asleep and recovering from major surgery...?

Twelve - When was the last time you cried? Yesterday morning as I issued an ultimatum (something I really, really hate doing).

Thirteen- What are you really good at? Alphabetizing. Proof-reading (other peoples' stuff more than my own). Reading.

Fourteen - What do you think about when you are falling asleep? I try NOT to think at all, or I won't sleep. This is why I don't read before bed very often anymore. Crosswords and Sudokus keep the brain actively doing something non-worrying.

Fifteen- What were you doing yesterday at 10:00 a.m? Finishing breakfast, on our way to Beast's follow-up appointment with his surgeon.

Sixteen - Do you prefer light or dark hair on the opposite sex? I have no preference in regards to hair, though I am not a fan of Extreme Hirsuteness on men OR women.

Seventeen - Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Librarian T who called last night to fill me in on the manic week last week. I was only there about 10 hours total and tried to keep my head down and plug through some backed-up stuff. It's been crazy there. Glad I missed the drama.

Eighteen - What is/are your favorite band(s)? I do believe that if you scroll back up you'll find a long list of "people I listen to." Here's another, some of which may overlap those listed above: Los Lonely Boys, Kid Rock, Sha Na Na, Shakira, Goo Goo Dolls, Sheryl Crow, Rodney Crowell, Shania Twain, Deee-Lite, Buena Vista Social Club, Brave Combo, Richard Marx, Little Richard, Semisonic, Everclear, Madness, Yo La Tengo, The Human League, The Pogues, Cat Power, Salif Keita, Madeleine Peyroux, Norah Jones, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Smokey Robinson....

Nineteen - What are you doing right now? Just this. Sparky's playing a very quiet XBox game in the basement (or rather, he's playing a game very quietly). Beast is still asleep. I can hear nothing but the hum of the computer, the keys clacking as I type, the birds chirping outside, and the occasional appliance turning on or off. It's lovely.

Twenty - Who do you trust right now? There are about 5 people on the short list. And I'd trust Beast's surgeon if I were to need back work done; he did an awesome thing on Monday!

Twenty one - Where did you get the shirt you are wearing? I'm still in my Wally-World pajamas.

Twenty two - Heavy metal music? ...is loud. ?? I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I don't hate it as a genre.

Twenty three- Are you currently missing someone in particular? No one in particular. Just the usual ghosts.

Twenty four- Is there anything you’re hiding from someone? Hell yeah. It's how we get through life, eh?

Twenty five - Who are you thinking of right now? Kinda thinking I should call or email Beth in response to something she sent this week about our high school class reunion.

Twenty six - What should you be doing right now? Cleaning.

Twenty seven - What are you listening to? See above, #19.

Twenty eight - You need new jeans. Quick where do you go? Old Navy (for 'dressier' jeans) or F&F (for work jeans).

Twenty nine - Who was the last person who yelled at you? In annoyance/anger? Probably Beast when I was riding him about something health-related.

Thirty - Do you act differently around the person you like? If I had a gun, right now I'd use it to put this question out of our misery.

Thirty one - What is your eye color? Still hazel.

Thirty two - Who was the last person to make you laugh? The creator of this meme.

Thirty three - Who was the last person to make you angry? The creator of this meme.

Thirty four - Hello Kitty? Fuck right off, Kitty.

Thirty five - Is your hair naturally curly or straight? Very, very wavy.

Thirty six - Hug anyone of the opposite sex in the past 24 hours? Yes. Two boys got hugs yesterday.

Thirty-seven - One thing you want right now? Donuts.

Thirty eight - Will you fall in love in the next few months? Magic 8-Ball says..."Outlook not so good."

Thirty nine - What does the 5th text in your inbox say? As I said earlier, I'm not going upstairs to get my phone. I'm gonna guess it says "On my way home" or something like that.

Forty - Are you worried about the future? Better to worry about the future than the past, eh? And yes. I am, as it relates to specific short-term situations in my life.

Forty one - Are you happy with life right now? Overall, yes.

Forty two - Are you currently jealous? Nope.

Forty three - Of what? Plichs.

Forty four -Do you forgive or forget? My daytime babysitter growing up ALWAYS was saying "forgive and forget" when I'd get in an argument with a friend. I think it's a two-fer: you have to 'forget' (or at least deal with) the pain before you can honestly forgive someone.

Forty five - What do you miss the most about elementary school? Tether-ball, jump-rope, and four-square.

Forty six - Favorite Disney Channel show? Haven't ever watched anything on this channel. Not a big huge Mouse-follower.

Forty seven - Is there anybody you’re really disappointed in right now? Yes. ...moving on...

Forty Eight - What are you looking forward to? Having a clean house in the next few days. I can't tell you how annoyed I am with the condition things have sunk to around here.

Forty nine - Does anyone like you right now? It is decidedly possible, yes.

Fifty- Lyrics to the song you’re listening to? Not listening to any music at all.

What if you did get caught shoplifting; how would you react? I don't shoplift. At least, not on purpose, so if I was caught, I'd definitely apologize and agree to pay for whatever-it-was that I took. How embarrassing!
