jaeclectic1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
"hexagon with projecting bastions at the corners. The fortress"
(not, BTW, from a fantasy novel but from a guide book on St. Petersburg, acquired when I thought I was going to go there, which sadly have not yet...)
2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
The back of the bookcase that has all the photo albums on it.
3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?
DVD, see #15 below.
4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is: 9:45
5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?: 9:17
6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:
Patti Larkin CD, my favorite song by her "The book I'm not reading", little cat feet (claws clicking on floor)
7: When did you last step outside? What were you doing?:
Hour or so ago, going back to IKEA for a part
8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at?:
In RL or online? in RL, gazed with satisfaction upon the completed wardrobes and empty cardboard wardrobe boxes. Online, hard to say. I've had LJ up all day, before that maybe looked at SFgate.
9: What are you wearing?:
Extremely grubby lands' end knit trousers, green artworks tank top with festive green and purple peapod design.
10: Did you dream last night?:
Not that I recall.
11: When did you last laugh?:
A couple of times when Sonia was here helping with the wardrobes, I can't remember the details, just sillyness.
12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?:
Very little, haven't gotten to that stage of unpacking yet. The concrete green man is up, just because I happened to see a likely nail left behind, but I think he should go higher up.
13: Seen anything weird lately?:
I think so but I can't remember what now.
15: What is the last film you saw?:
Catch me if you can
16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?:
Hmm, right now my world view is very furniture-centric, can we just send me on a home furnishing shopping spree?
17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:
Um. All I can think of is family trivia (my mother was from West Virginia, my father's father committed suicide when my father was 2, one of my great-grandmothers was named Cornelia Sprigg, etc etc) and that's not really about me, exactly, is it? Um um. Did you know that I had poetry published in one or two "reputable journals" back in undergraduate school? Not to mention the book of lesbian erotic poetry that my Feminist Writer's Guild chapter self-published a few years later.
18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?:
That's hard. Let me think about it, I hate to make snap decisions.
19: Do you like to dance?:
Ja da si oui yes.
But still don't do so very often, damned infrequently in fact.
20: George Bush: is he a power-crazy nut case or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?:
You left out idiotic, semi-literate, incoherent, spoiled little rich boy.
21(a): Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:
maybe Elaine or Elena (sort of after my grandmothers Helen and Elsie).
21(b): Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:
Rob (definitely after my father, although he's Robert to my stepmother and Bob to the rest of the universe)
22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:
Yes, I would love to live abroad again. Although it would be more complicated now that I have dependents...
