Nic’s Questions…

Nicole over at The Moon Is Always Female tagged everybody to do their duty on this meme…I am feeling so BLUE and happy today, that I have obliged:

1) What side of the heart do you draw first?
Right

2) Can you dive without plugging your nose? Yes. I was on the swim team as a kid because I would only participate in individualized sports.

3) What color is your razor?
Green. It’s a men’s Gillette. I only use men’s razors. They’re better. Trust me.

4) What is your blood-type?
A-. Both my parents are +. When I told my mom I was Rh-, she freaked out. I have had to take a Rhogam shot because of it, which is not fun.

5) Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Okay, don’t shoot me for being sappy and predictable, but I would have to say my daughter. It’s just that it’s true.

6) What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
That I had two young kids that I kept hidden away in a basement. (R.’s ex to my in-laws. No shit.)

7) How do you feel about carrots?
Fairly indifferent. I don’t not like them. At one point, I ate the pre-washed baby ones a lot.

8) How many chairs at the dining room table?
Six.

9) Which is the best spice girl?

Cumin.

Oh! You mean the Brit singing group. I thought you said, “Which is the best spice, girl?”

10) Do you know what time it is?
Exactly.

11) Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince song?
I like that Summertime song.

12) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Faint. I have claustrophobia. The last time it struck, I was inside the center of the pyramid at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan. Alone, I might add, because R. decided to climb the outside of the pyramid, while I went to the inner tomb. I had claustrophobia and he had acrophobia and vertigo. Not good decisions all the way around.

13) What’s your favorite kind of gum?
Bazooka.

14)T or F: All’s fair in love and war.
False.

15) Do you have a crush on anyone?
I have friend-crushes these days. Which doesn’t mean I get crushes on my friends. It means I get frushes. And that’s not some scary throat disease.

16) Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Solipsistic.

17) Do you like to sleep?
Yes. But not as much as I used to. No napping. Never napping.

18) Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings?
Mine.

19) Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Turn around. Every now and then I get a little bit lonely….

20) Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
No. The only thing I want bright yellow is a tree.

21) What’s something you’ve always wanted?
A beach house.

22) Do you have hairy legs?
You mean, like right now? No.

Genetically? Ah….yeah.

24) Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Neither. I only swim in places where I can see my feet in the water.

25) Do you wear a lot of black?
Yes. Not as much as I used to, though, because of the desert. I wear a lot of white in the summer.

26) Describe your hair.
Dark Auburn out of a bottle. A lot of gray if I haven’t seen a bottle in a while. Very thick. Longish. I always wear it up–either in a pony, or a braid, or a clip-bun. Always. I have to make sure it’s got some height in the front (no flat pull-backs), or my giganticus forehead looks funny.

27) Do you have Entomophobia?
No.

28) Are you an adult?

literally? or metaphorically?

29) Where is/are your best friends?

literally? or metaphorically?

30) Do you have a tan?
Not anymore.

31) Are you a television addict?
Yes. It’s my Xanax.

32) Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
More now than I used to. Growing up, I was much closer to my father.

33) Are you a sugar freak?

No. I am a salt freak, though.

34) Do you like orange juice?
I choose tomato juice if there’s a choice. As far as OJ goes, I hate pulp. With a passion. I mean, if you want to eat the fruit, then eat the fruit. But juice should be JUICE. Not to be gross, but the pulp reminds me of vomit.

35) What sign are you?
Virgo. An angel or a mermaid or a virgin with a harp, depending on your pleasure.

36) What color is your Cell Phone?
Silver.

37) Where do you wish you were right now?

Jiangsu Province, PRC

sitting in a Parisian cafe with a glass of red wine and a good fashion magazine

Bora Bora, in one of those huts that sits out over the water, on top of a crystal-blue lagoon

giving a poetry reading in a little bookshop in the Village

eating blue crabs on a porch on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, looking at the dunes and the sea oats
