May. 11th, 2007 12:24 pmellyssian1. What is your first name?
Same as my dad, his dad, and my son - although the first and last on the list go by their middle names, and for quite a long time I went by something completely different.
2. Were you named after anyone?
I suppose I answered that already. My middle name had once belonged to another ancestor.
3. Do you wish on stars?
I suppose I might, if I ever stood on one. Then again, I'd probably be wishing to to avoid burning to a crisp, and I'd certainly be thanking my lucky stars that I managed to set foot on a ball o' burning gas without already having caught fire, and I'd definitely be wondering why I wasn't on more solid ground away from all that heat, and I'd probably be wondering, given that I was managing to exist there, if I could get anything to grow there.
4. When did you last cry?
I suppose you're not expecting me to count getting smoke in my eyes?
5. Do you like your handwriting?
Chickens seem impressed by it, although they agree their own scratch marks are more legible.
6. What is your favorite lunch meat?
Mung bean sprouts.
7. What is your most embarrassing CD?
That I don't actually have any that are mine to keep. I suppose, if I did, it would be one of the $500 minimum ones with a really crappy interest rate.
8. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
Well, that really depends on what kind of other person I would happen to be.
9. Do you have a journal?
No. This journal is just a figment of your imagination.
10. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
No thanks, I'm trying to cut back.
11. What are your nicknames?
Dad. Daddy. Ev. Those are the only ones in current usage, that I'm aware of.
12. Would you bungee jump?
No.
13. Do you untie your shoes before you take them off?
If they have laces.
14. Do you think that you are strong?
At times.
15. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Peppermint Stick. Mint Chocolate Chip. Espresso Chip. Watermelon Sherbet. From Russia With Buzz.
16. Shoe size?
11.5 US, I think.
17. Red or pink?
Purple.
18. What is your least favorite thing about yourself?
That I absolutely refuse to focus on such negative things, and am thus incapable of answering this question.
19. What do you miss most?
World Peace.
20. Do you want everyone you send this to, to send it back?
It's getting posted and not sent.
21. What color pants/shoes are you wearing?
Blue jeans and brown boots.
22. What are you listening to right now?
A door closing, and somebody's lunch being unwrapped; a conversation about conversions, and, a laser printer doing its thing. And, if I ever put the headphones back on, Kaipa's Notes from the Past
23. Last thing you ate?
A Nature Valley Fruit and Nut bar.
24. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Purple, of course.
25. What is the weather like right now?
Unfortunately, it's not raining.
26. Last person you talked to on the phone?
My wife.
27. The first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
I think if you can boil down an entire gender of the human race into one noticeable characteristic, you need to see a doctor to get that tunnel vision looked at. What do I notice about any individual? It depends on the individual and the circumstances of my noticing them. If I catch a glimpse out of a car window it's going to be a lot different than if I turn a corner and almost bump into them.
28. Do you like the person who sent this to you?
I'll go with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
linithiliel's answer: Dude. No one sent this to me. I stole it. Stupid question.
29. Favorite drink?
Chai. Or a regular, normal, unfruity flavored (although lemon is okay), iced tea.
30. Favorite sport?
Kubb.
31. Hair color?
Brown (at least where it's not grey)
32. Eye color?
Brown
33. Do you wear contacts?
Yes.
34. Favorite food?
Something that hits the spot.
35. Last movie you watched?
Hidalgo. Or maybe Spinal Tap - Justin and I watched one last Saturday when Brandon went for a nap; the other after he went to bed for the night; I just forget which went when. I do know we watched The Mission on Friday night.
36. Favorite day of the year?
Usually today. Sometimes tomorrow, and once in a while, yesterday.
37. Scary movies or happy endings?
Why can't scary movies have happy endings? They aren't mutually exclusive.
38. Winter or summer?
Spring and Fall.
39. Hugs or kisses?
I can't tell the two apart... I know the male is larger than the female, but I misremember which name belongs to which gender of dog. Regardless, they're yippy little dogs, and I'm surprised my cats put up with them.
40. What is your favorite dessert?
See, if there was one less "s" there this would be fun to answer. I don't much care for dessert. Deserts, on the other hand, are pretty neat places to visit.
41. Who is most likely to do this meme?
Someone on my friends list, or maybe someone else.
42. Who is the least likely to do this meme and comment?
I'd say there's a fair chance that most politicians won't do these meme, as it has too many questions that aren't part of their party line so they wouldn't know what to do with it.
43. What books are you reading?
Fragile Things, by Neil Gaiman, and Turbulent Mirror by Briggs & Peat
44. What's on your mouse pad?
Dust, and a mouse.
45. What did you watch on TV last night?
CSI
46. Favorite smells?
Rain in the forest
47. Favorite sound?
Rain in the forest
48. Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Beatles.
49. What's the furthest you've been from your home?
Aslinithiliel pointed out: It's "farthest," actually. I was in LA for a weekend - at the time I lived in MA.
50. Do you have a special talent?
You mean I'm supposed to limit myself to one?
Same as my dad, his dad, and my son - although the first and last on the list go by their middle names, and for quite a long time I went by something completely different.

Although, to be fair, I don't think it's your fault that it's your fault. As Opus says, I prefer to blame Congress.
