Yoinked from Almsiemunchkin's secret lair:
1. HOW DID YOU GET ONE OF YOUR SCARS? I have one scar on my left elbow from jogging with my dog when I was 14. He took off after a squirrel, and my elbow was history. A scar on my leg was the result of a fight with my brother (totally unfair -- he had car keys in his hand).
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS OF YOUR ROOM? Nothing but dust and occasional bugs. I refuse to hang pictures in this apartment, because that would indicate I'm settling there. We're getting out as soon as we can find something better (and afford it, oh yeah)
3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE? A cell phone. It's silver, and has a little screen and buttons on it.
4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO? Almost everything. Rock, pop, classical, hip-hop, some rap, salsa, world music. Some country and folk.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN? 7:24 p.m.
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW? A great night's sleep.
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS AT TIMES? Freedom of my own time. Doing work that excites me. Having good friends at work. Wearing a 36C.
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION? If kids don't count.... my wedding rings, my grandmother's music boxes, and my family photos.
9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL? My husband's aftershave. My kids' heads after bathing them with Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Garlicky foods cooking.
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC? Yes, horribly. I don't think I did when I was a kid -- I grew into it. Now, I don't even like having my head under the covers.
11. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW: I can't even contemplate that question. It's too upsetting to think of leaving my children motherless.
12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY? I teared up when Jacob talked to his cat last week. Before that? DH, mostly because of my own silly hormones.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOGNE / PERFUME? Lately, I've been wearing Clinique's "Happy." Before that, I wore "Tuscany Per Donna" by Estee Lauder. On DH, I like the silliest thing -- Gillette's Wild Rain for Men. He got it as antipersperant once and it smells awesome -- clean and manly. He's worn it ever since. I generally don't go for the heavy-cologned type of guy. Just nice and clean is good; I only want to get close enough to smell a scent on my own man.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX? Clean and well-kempt. I tend to go for the clean-cut kind of guy most of the time. I don't really care if it's thinning or whatever, though DH has great hair.
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO? Does that really matter when you love someone? My first proposal was in a car. My second was in a hotel room but it was dark, with just candlelight, and I was blindfolded until the exact second he asked. My third, and the one I went through with, was not all planned out, but the most romantic moment I'd had up to that point. We were in his apartment, sitting on his futon, and I was upset about something. He knelt in front of me, and said "I don't think there's a time more important for you to know that I love you and want to spend my life with you." He hadn't meant to do it that way; I know he wanted to do something big and sweeping, but this was perfect.
16. DO YOU LIKE PORN? Real porn makes me uncomfortable, possibly because of my history. I don't get bent out of shape about it unless it's the really creepy kind of stuff. Personally, I prefer erotic fiction to film.
19. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD? Probably DH. I'm sure I annoy him all the time. If not him, probably Jacob. He says I have too many rules.
20. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE? I like Sheryl's answer: "I speak toddler." I also speak a bit of Spanish.
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE OPPOSITE SEX)? Nobody's ever given me the opposite sex. I've had sex.... unless my dad somehow finds and reads this. In that case, I'm just joking, and my kids are all virgin births.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING? How could you stop yourself from falling in love, even if it doesn't seem possible to be with that person? I fell in love long distance once, and I've been married to the man for almost 10 years now. If a neurotic Reform girl from Chicago can meet a former Lubavitch guy from Philly and end up having three kids with him, I think anything can happen.
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU? [Singing] "Tell him, that, you're never gonna leave him/Tell him, that, you're always gonna love him/ Tell him, Tell him, Tell him/ Tell him right now" Also, what Sheryl said -- little things that show you're thinking of them.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED: "Eighteen."
31. BLONDES, REDHEADS OR BRUNETTES? You mean, what do I prefer? I like guys with dark hair, usually brown. That doesn't mean I would have kicked Brad Pitt out of bed a few years ago. Now, he just grosses me out.
32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN? DH's cell phone.
33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST? Insensitivity.
34. HAVE YOU EVER DONE A PRANK CALL? Hey, I was 12 once.
39: WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY? Looking up transactions.
40. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Tummy tuck and breast lift. I was never perky.
41. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY? Procrastinating doing my real work. Shhhh!
42. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ON YOUR PIZZA? Tomato sauce and cheese. I'm incredibly boring and childish. Frankly, you really can't go wrong with the combination of a breadlike product, tomato sauce and cheese.
43. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL? Spend less money when I go to the occasional Cubs game.
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY? Disposable income so I can get a house, a car, and give more money to charity.
45. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT SUDDENLY STARTED RAINING BLOOD? Run like hell!!!!
