<b>9: what are you wearing?:</b>
A bit personal, eh? :) A truly lovely ensemple consisting of an elderly "Summer's Short" Taco Bell t-shirt (a sad reminder of my stint working there as a student), ancient but comfy sweatpants with a hole in one knee, with my standard knock-around-the-house sandals.
<b>10: Did you dream last night?</b>
Probably, but I rarely remember unless something wakes me up in the right/wrong sleep cycle.
<b>11: When did you last laugh?</b>
Probably a couple of hours ago, when one of the cats did something I found amusing but possibly nobody else would; I may have since then, but don't remember.
<b>12: what is on the walls of the room you are in?:</b>
Sky blue paint which has gone chalky-looking and has oily blu-tack marks on it (it's been there 18 years now, IIRC), and not much else. I took everything else down, and have procrastinated using Killz and repainting it for several years now. It's fairly grim, really.
<b>13: Seen anything weird lately?:</b>
Nothing specific pops into mind. One continuing behavioral oddity is my dad's insistence on watching horrible thingss on Fox News, apparently just so that he can snort and make cryptic but caustic comments.
<b>14: What do you think of this quiz?:</b>
It's a semi-amusing way to fill some time and put off fixing supper. ;)
<b>: What is the last film you saw?:</b>
<i>Blood And Wine</i> on Bravo, I think. I haven't been watching many lately.
<b>16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?:</b>
I have to echo <lj site="livejournal.com" user="megabitch"> here, with a huge old farmhouse. I wouldn't mind buying back the old French homeplace that got out of family hands due to complicated factors I won't go into here, and rebuilding the original central log portion of the house (before everything was let go to ruin). Getting the place usable again would require becoming a multi-millionaire, just to pay other people to deal with what's grown up with all the snakes in it--it would take more than a couple of people with a brushhog, and I'm a coward when it comes to horribly snaky places. More acreage than is currently attached to the place (100 or so now?) would be nice, too. I'd buy my parents whatever sort of house they liked, too.
<b>17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:</b>
I frequently sound cranky--even bitter--but it's mainly a reaction to, and cover for, being terribly soft-hearted.
<b>18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?:</b>
Send people to their rooms until they can get along better. Maybe knock them up 'side the head first. And I'm not even a parent or a great believer in force or coercion.
<b>19: Do you like to dance?:</b>
As long as nobody is watching me. That didn't used to bother me, but I turned more neurotic with age.
<b>20: George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?:</b>
So few options. Perhaps we've needed a blatantly malevolent nutjob who may not even be able to tie his own shoelaces to demonstrate to the thickheaded just how dangerous voting strictly along party lines can be, and how scary the neocons have become? It's certainly a good demonstration of the dangers inherent to government based on force and intimidation.
<b>21: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:</b>
Names are such an important and personal matter that, should I have a child, her name would need to be chosen for who she is in her "soul", for lack of a better term. None of this picking names in advance from books and the like. And, as a cultural tradition, she would likely be called something else entirely, day to day.
<b>21: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:</b>
See above.
<b>22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:</b>
Why shouldn't I? It strikes me as strange <i>never</i> to consider it a possibility. I've thought about doing so before, and am planning a move at the moment. I don't know how many places I'll wind up living, but will likely come back here at some point, though; the same would hold true were I moving to Oregon. (As much abroad in many ways, really.)
<b>23: Will you pass on this survey?</b>
As I'm getting ready to paste it in now, I would say yes.
