Back from San Francisco, and as always, mercilessly stealing things from Sue's blog!
A - Accent: Natively Southern, but varies depending on who I'm talking to.
B - Breakfast: Pop Tarts
C - Chore you hate: Dumping litter boxes
D - Dad's name: Gary
E - Essential make-up: Well, none of it is essential, but if I'm only wearing one thing, it's probably blush.
F - Favorite perfume: Tommy Girl *hangs head in shame*
G - Gold or Silver? Gold
H - Hometown: Concord, NC
I - Insomnia: Regularly
J - Job title: Reference/Periodicals Librarian and Library Coordinator
K - Kids: In an orphanage in China, waiting on us to come get her (well, she doesn't know that yet...)
L - Living arrangements: In my house with dear hubby, an assortment of cats, a dog and a fish
M - Mom's birthplace: Wadesboro, NC (where Color Purple was filmed)
N - Number of apples you've eaten: Not terribly many. Unless you count juice.
O - Overnight hospital stays: Tonsils, age 10
P - Phobia: Vomit. Did I really just say that on my blog? I've never admitted that to anyone before.
Q - Question you'd like answered: Why the hell does this library still not have heat?
R - Religious affiliation: Well, I sorta consider myself Methodist, but I go to Unitarian Universalist church, and my beliefs don't conform to any denomination, so...your guess is as good as mine!
S - Siblings: None, but in my 20s I found myself with 5 stepsiblings and 5 siblings-in-law. And now, increasingly, their spouses.
T - Time you wake up: 6:45
U - Unnatural hair colors you've worn: Caramel highlights is as colored as I've gotten
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: Lots. Shorter list is which ones I will eat!
W - Worst habit: staying in bed too long in the morning
X - X-rays you've had: My reproductive system, and some part near my neck when I was 2, that they had to retake like 10 times to get right, and my Mom thinks that's why my thyroid gland stopped working
Y - Yummy foods you make: Cooking is not one of my stronger points. But I continually get asked for the recipe for my toffee bars. And I think I make some darned good Greek potatoes.
Z - Zodiac sign: Gemini
Comments:
I'm bored at work and no longer have my own personal blog, and so, forthwith, the ABCs of BJL:
A - Accent: None, really. Southern if I'm lazy, clipped if I'm in new England or CD. I say "Y'all," which means my default is probably a mild, very mild, Southern.
B - Breakfast: Bowl of Cheerios, fresh mandarin orange, a few Thompson grapes.
C - Chore you hate: Dumping litter boxes
D - Dad's name: Jim
E - Essential make-up: Can you tell that a chick built this survey?
F - Favorite perfume: See? A chick. As far as cologne is concerned, I lean toward Perry Ellis 360. If I'm broke and have to buy the cheap stuff, Stetson works as well as anything.
G - Gold or Silver? Either, but I tend to prefer silver.
H - Hometown: Concord, NC
I - Insomnia: On rare occasions. I can sleep nearly anywhere.
J - Job title: Macintosh Systems Analyst. (Read: Mac Geek.)
K - Kids: Emma Shea. Currently awaiting our arrival in China to bring her home.
L - Living arrangements: In my house with dear wife, an assortment of cats, a dog and a fish.
M - Mom's birthplace: Brevard, NC (Sliding Rock would be Brevard's one claim to fame, I think.)
N - Number of apples you've eaten: Hundreds. Two Pink Ladies just today.
O - Overnight hospital stays: Once for a sleep test to figure out why I snore. The answer: Who the hell knows?
P - Phobia: Moderate claustrophobia (only really comes out in HUGE crowds or very tight spaces like Linville Caverns.
Q - Question you'd like answered: Why the hell did we re-elect a wanker like George Bush?
R - Religious affiliation: Nominally Unitarian. Lapsed Catholic, although I came to even that on a late basis. I have my own relationship with God, and it doesn't follow anyone's rules, really.
S - Siblings: 3 brothers, 2 sisters, 1 brother-in-law, 1 soon-to-be-brother-in-law, 1 sister-in-law
T - Time you wake up: Usually around 5 or 5:30am, whereupon I go back to sleep until the alarm goes off at a quarter to seven.
U - Unnatural hair colors you've worn: Define unnatural. If you mean, like, "pink," then the answer is none. I have, however, bleached my hair once. And I'm considering getting it highlighted.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: Cauliflower. Like broccoli exposed to cosmic radiation, and with less flavor.
W - Worst habit: I swear. I pick my nose in private. I oversleep. What...you don't?
X - X-rays you've had: The usual array of dental stuff. Nothing else that I can think of offhand.
Y - Yummy foods you make: I make a lip-smacking pot roast in the crock pot. I can do bread pretty well. I make a mean beef stew, and my burgers aren't bad.
Z - Zodiac sign: Aries.
