The What's What Meme

What is on your bed right now?

As of 20 minutes ago, Beast. I took a nap, my alarm went off at 5--which I read as 5 a.m. and was completely confused for several seconds: "why am I getting up so early??"--I came downstairs, found Beast insensible in his chair, and woke him up enough to get him to bed. This question proves that timing is everything.

What's your favorite word or phrase?

"Don't pick up snakes."

What is the best ice cream flavor?

I would probably murder someone right now if they had a butterscotch malt that they weren't sharing.

Did you wake up smiling this morning?


I don't think I wake up smiling ever, to be honest. I was ok, this morning, but not smiling.

Is there something in your life you used to have, and now miss?

Peace of mind.

What major company would you like to work for?

I wouldn't like to work for any major company at all. I don't like Big Business (although they pay well if you're in management or a union shop).

What time do you wake up on a typical morning?

Sometime between 6:30 and 7:30. Depends on the day. Wednesdays I'm up at 5:30.

What holiday makes you sad?

None of them 'make' me sad. I'm a bit solemn this weekend....

Where does a good night's sleep rank on your priorities?

It's up there with air to breathe and indoor plumbing, for sure.

One song that makes you cry?

"A Mighty Fortress..." reminds me of my dad, even when I haven't been obsessing about him for a week like I do at the beginning of November.

How old was your mom when she had you?

She was 6 weeks short of her 42nd birthday. Dad was a week past his 44th.

When is the last time you went to the beach?

Last month when my brother-in-law Reg was here. We went up to the resort lake north of us and wandered the beach while we waited for our boat tour to board.

What is the most random object around you?

My work keys are still sitting on the table next to me even though I haven't been to work since Tuesday.

What is your favorite sushi?

Sushi is not my thing.

What food do you find disgusting?

Well, sushi is right up there. And liver.

If you could have any type of dog in the world, what would it be?

I'd love a butterscotch lab.

What was the last meal that you made for yourself?

I made corned beef and rice Friday night for dinner, for both of us. Tonight looks like a bagel sandwich in front of the TV.

Is the hard drive on your computer full or getting close to being full?

Hell no!

Are there any songs that you prefer the acoustic version over the regular version?

Many of them. It's easier for me to hear the lyrics without all the electrical input.
