1. What is your occupation? Software engineer.

2. What color are your socks right now? Black.

3. What are you listening to right now? Jewel, "Enter From The East" (we'll see if it's something else by the time I post and the music is detected...)

4. What was the last thing you ate? Taquitos.

5. Can you drive a stick shift? Yes, if the clutch isn't too stiff!

6. Favorite color? So hard. I think...red. Or maybe green or blue or purple. Hrrm. No, red's a good bet.

7. Last person you talked to on the phone? Aunt Connie.

8. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Yep! (This started life as an email meme, of course....)

9. How old are you today? 31.

10. Favorite drink? Er. Hmmm. A & W root beer, except I don't have it any more. Mostly, I drink water, and half-tolerable teas whose main advantage is being hot.

11. What is your favorite sport to watch? If I can call figure skating a sport, figure skating. Otherwise, gymnastics.

12. Have you ever dyed your hair? Nope.

13. Pets? None now. Grew up with a few dogs and a great many cats.

14. Favorite food? Hmmm. Gotta go with maple sugar candy.

15. What was the last movie you watched? Cars. Or part of it; I didn't care for the humor, and walked out.

16. Favorite day of the year? I'm not sure, really, that I have one. I guess Christmas will do, but I kind of like Thanksgiving. (I suppose I could also pick our anniversary, but that is so shiny and new it hasn't settled in yet.)

17. What do you do to vent anger? Depends on the situation. Rant to Scott, rant here, mutter to myself, shrug it off, write an aggravated letter to someone....

18. What was your favorite toy as a child? My teddy bear (which I still have). My stuffed rabbit and Smurf (so sue me!) were a close second. I enjoyed a number of other things, but those were friends as much as toys in my mind.

19. What is your favorite Fall or Spring? I like both, but I prefer fall. I'm less allergic to it.

20. Hugs or kisses? Both with the right person. Most people, hugs. Of course, if you're talking the candy sort, kisses are good.... :)

21. Cherry or Blueberry? Blueberry.

[Three questions related to emailing it removed.]

25. Living arrangements? Own a house with my husband (hi, [livejournal.com profile] terram!).

26. When was the last time you cried? Tonight.

27. What is on the floor of your closet? Right now, not much. More commonly, the laundry basket. (But it's downstairs by the washer and dryer, right now.)

28. What did you do last night? Played World of Warcraft, chatted with friends, read LJ, placed an online order, went to bed, slept. Not necessarily in that order.

29. What is your favorite smell? Hmm. I think still fresh lilac. Though I'll take BPAL's Dragon's Eye or Wicked perfumes in a pinch, the lilac wins.

...and now for another meme....

1. Where were you 1 hour ago?
Sitting here at the computer, or maybe nearby. I was either checking auctions in World of Warcraft, or I was on the phone. I forget exactly when the phone call was.

2. When is the last time you filled up your gas tank?
I think Saturday morning. Might have been Sunday.

3. What is the most amount of money you spent in one store?
If down payments on cars or houses count, the house, then the Corolla. Otherwise, hmm. Probably buying my old laptop - not the one I use now, but the one before it. I splurged, since I knew work was going to pay for a good chunk of it (I was using it for work also at the time).

4. Is there anything pink within 10 feet of you?
Yes. The warning label on my medicine. A tube that used to be full of bubble solution (which I imagine is dried out by now). A receipt copy from getting my new glasses. Some index cards. A bit of wrapping paper. Etc....

5. When is the last time you went to the mall?
Last Tuesday, when the new cell phone got fixed with a SIM card it actually worked with.

6. Are you wearing socks right now?
Yes. I didn't take them off between the last quiz and now. :)

7. Do you have a car worth over $5,000?
I think so. Last I checked, the Corolla was. I doubt the Taurus is.

8. When was the last time you drove out of town?
Define "out of town". I visited my parents this weekend; they're about an hour away. I went to work today; that's in another town from where I live, though it's a 15-minute drive most mornings. A longer trip? I don't even remember....

9. Have you been to the movies in the last 5 days?
Nope.

10. Are you popular?
Er, I don't know? I have friends who care about me. I don't know if that means I'm popular, exactly - I don't seem to have a fan following. I do think it means I'm lucky. I'd rather have friends than fans. (Especially now that the weather has turned bad! *ducks* Er, okay, bad pun.)

11. What was the last thing you had to drink?
Water.

12. What was the last thing you mailed in the mail?
Hmmm. I sent BPAL imps to Jenn recently, but I think I paid bills after that. Not 100% sure of the timing there.

13. Do you wash your car?
Not often, but it might could use it again.

14. Last fast food you ate?
Still taquitos.

15. Where were you last week at this time?
Pretty sure I was sitting here vegging on the computer in some fashion, but I don't actually remember. I could have been reading or doing puzzles at the exact instant in question.

16. Have you bought any clothing items in the last week?
Not unless you count a purse or an umbrella, which would be a stretch even for me.

17. What bank do you use?
The one that has a branch within 5 minutes of my house, and another branch two blocks from my office, and is open a few hours on Saturday. Really convenient.

18. Do you own any land?
The property our house is on - small, but land.

19. What do you want to be when you "grow up?"
A software engineer, doing what I am. Maybe a more-published poet. Maybe a crafter. I'm not sure. But definitely a software engineer.

20. Your dream vacation?
I'm not sure. I can make up nice things and I'd probably enjoy them, but I also really enjoy spending a week at home vegging without obligations to do anything else, so...I may just be easy to please.

21. Last boat ride you went on?
I have no idea. None in recent memory.

22. How old are your parents?
In their 60s.

23. Are you in love?
Yep.

24. Do you have any single friends?
Yep.

25. Last play you saw?
Phantom of the Opera

26. Have you been to New York?
I don't think so, unless the airlines have gotten creative while I was napping. ;)

27. What are your plans for tonight?
Finish this meme, shower, and go to bed. Hopefully in that order.

28. Last concert you went to?
Dar Williams & Shawn Colvin at the Oregon Zoo in July.

30. Ever go to camp or been camping?
Yep. Not for a while, though.

31. Were you an honor roll student in school?
Not often; I can't remember if I ever was.

32. What is your current GPA?
Nothing; I've graduated and am not currently in any form of graduate program or other program with a GPA.

33. Are you wearing any perfume or cologne?
BPAL's Wicked. Which I put on yesterday, and which still lingers, though I can only smell it now with my nose near my wrist - earlier today it was still wafting about pretty decently. Good thing I like it!

34. Are you hungry?
Nope.

35. Where is your best friend located?
What do you mean "best"? This isn't a rating game. That said, [livejournal.com profile] terram is the obvious one, and he's currently at a friend's house gaming (and may or may not be home tonight, depending on whether the roads are passable or not - it looks just fine outside, but the friend's place is further up and Scott may stay if it's bad out there).

36. Do you own a cowboy hat?
I'm not sure. I used to. Don't know if I still have it. Not anywhere I can find it, at any rate....

37. Do you have a tan?
Nope.

38. How old do you want to be when you have kids?
I don't want to have kids.

39. Do you collect anything?
State quarters. Craft materials I swear I'm going to do something with, then don't. Candles I swear I'm going to burn, and then sometimes do. Piles of paper.

40. Is this quiz annoying?
Not overall. Of course, whether those of you reading it are sick of it....

41. Last time you got pulled over?
Several years ago, so the officer could tell me I had a headlight out and would I please get it fixed. I got it fixed.

42. Ever been arrested?
Nope.

43. Been to Mexico for Spring Break?
I think our family's trip to Mexico was over Spring Break - wasn't it, Mom, Dad? But not in the sense meant here....

44. Do you like hot sauce?
Generally no. Too hot is painful rather than tasty, for me.

45. Last time you had sex?
Absolutely no one's business among those reading this except for the person who already knows.

46. Do you need to do laundry?
Sometime in the next few days, yes. I normally do it all on the weekend, but let the holiday weekend throw my pattern off.

47. How many friends do you have?
*points around* Lots, though the number varies depending on how you define friend. Enough that I am happy. Too many are farther away than I wish, but still they are friends.

48. Are you someone's best friend?
Silly term. No idea. If I am, I am. If not, oh well.

49. Are you rich?
Hmm. By the standards of a large part of the world, yes. By American standards - no, I don't think so. Well off, but not that well off. (If the universe wants to give me a winning lottery ticket to make a liar of me, I won't complain. But I gotta admit it seems unlikely. :)

50. What are you thinking right this minute?
I reached the ennnnnd!
