Fruitgoogle: A search engine for bananas. In pajamas.
Ambytime: A time when amoebas join together and dance. Kind of like Hammer Time. Only, not.
Asscactus: My new favorite insult for everyone.
52. What was the last thing you made with your own hands? A mess?
53. What was your favorite toy as a child? Barbies. I used to design clothes and houses for them, and do their makeup and give them hairstyles (and make them have sex). Also, my toy telephone from Fischer Price, and my giant play kitchen, and my talk-to-you (it was what I called my kid's tape player thingy). OH! And TeePo! He was my teddy bear. And Snowflake, my snow leopard toy that my brother lost at the grocery store. And K-cat, who my mother left on the roof of the car and then drove off. Neither Snowflake or K-cat were ever seen again. *Needs therapy*
54. How many TV’s are in your house? 3? Maybe 4?
55. What is your favorite thing to do outside? Smoke/Drink coffee/read (Simultaneously).
56. How do you feel when you see a rainbow? My mother told me a story of when she graduated nursing school. The night before she graduated, she dreamed of three of her deceased relatives coming to visit her. They told her that they were proud of her and would watch over her. The next day, after she walked out of the hall in which her graduation was held, there was a triple rainbow. So I guess I feel...watched over. In a non-creepy way.
57. Have you ever dreamt a dream that came true? I dreamed the other night that my former boss was a timelord. That did not come true. But sometimes, yes.
58. Have you ever been to a psychic/tarot reader? No, but there's this creepy girl who never ages and follows me around...*kidding*
59. What is your idea of paradise? So many specifications. It would be autumn all of the time, and there would be an endless supply of the things I wanted, and I would have my own soundtrack that played all of the time, and I would be alone except when I wanted to be not-alone, and I would be the most gorgeous, amazing person ever, and...you get the idea.
60. Do you believe in god and if so what is he/she/it like? Not really.
61. Do you believe in Hell? No - punishment is a human construct.
62. What one thing have you done that most people haven't? Piloted a legit WWII open cockpit biplane when I was 9.
63. What is the kindest thing you have ever done? Kept my mouth shut.
64. Are you a patient person? Externally, yes.
65. What holiday should exist but doesn't? Oscar Wilde Day.
66. What holiday shouldn't exist but does? None - there are plenty on a personal level (like Easter) that I don't really notice, but I know that they're important to other people, so should certainly exist.
67. What's the best joke you ever heard? A woman walks into a bar. Bartender looks up, says "What'll you have?" The woman sighs. "It's been a rough day," she says. "I think...yes. I'll have a Double Entendre." So the bartender gives it to her.
68. Where is the most fun place you have EVER been? Quebec. I got lost there for hours, on cobblestone streets, asking strange men for cigarettes in French.
69. Is your hair natural or dyed? Dyed. It's like Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Or, red/blonde/brunette. Which isn't really technicolor at all, per se.
70. Do you have any deep dark secrets or are you pretty much up front? I have a lot of secrets, deep and dark and delicious.
71. What is under your bed right now? Shoes, papers, books, clothes, anything else I've thought to shove there.
72. If you were in the Land of Oz would you want to live there or go home? I’d live there, especially as I will have conquered it.
73. If you drive do you frequently speed? Yes. Except when there's traffic. Which is almost all of the time.
74. What is the world's best song to dance to? "Nara" by ES Posthumus. Or "Tarang" by Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. Not that I've ever danced, but I do choreograph in my head.
75. What song was on the last time you danced with someone? The last time I danced with someone was Freshman year of high school. His name was Nick. I was dancing with myself (like I was dancing with an imaginary person) and he slipped himself in. It was cute. I don't remember the song.
76. Do you prefer Disney or Warner Brothers? Disney. Before it started going computer animated. BLECH. Princesses set to the music of classical composers, please.
77. What is the first animal you would run to see if you went to the zoo? Big cats.
78. Would you consider yourself to be romantic? I can be. I am. But I prefer romantic cynicism.
79. If the earth stopped rotating would we all fly off? No, of course not. We'd tango off.
80. What is the one thing that you love to do so much that you would make sacrifices to be able to do it? Smoke cigarettes. Also, write.
81. If you (and everyone) had to lose one right or freedom, but you could pick which one everyone had to lose, what would you pick? The right to democracy. Because I am taking over and becoming Supreme Monarch of the Universe. I really don't know, otherwise. Probably the right to bear arms, only because the other ones I can think of (like Freedoms of speech, religion, etc) are things I couldn't easily let go. Generally, I could care less about weapons (even if I do like the shiny ones).
82. If you had to choose would you live on the equator or at the North Pole? The North Pole, please. *Moves in with Santa* Also, I hate the heat and bugs and other such things.
83. Would you rather give up listening to music or watching television? I could definitely give up television. Obviously.
84. What do you think makes someone a hero? Overcoming something personally devastating.
85. What cartoon would you like to be a character in? Daria.
86. Name one thing that turns your stomach: Hatred, bigotry, prejudice, that sort of thing. Generalizations, too, and snap judgments.
87. What was the last thing you paid for? Soup. It was delicious.
88. Are you a coupon clipper? YES!
89. Get anything good in the mail recently? My health insurance cards and my 403(b) plan information!
90. Which would you rather take as a gym class...dancing, sailing, karate, or bowling? Sailing, I suppose. Although I'd rather just....not do anything, thanks.
91. In Star Trek people 'beam' back and forth between different places. What this means is they stand in a little tube and their molecules are deconstructed and sent to another tube somewhere else where they are reassembled. Only problem is when the molecules are deconstructed the person is dead. When they are put back together it is only a clone that has all the dead person's memories. So...Is the person who gets beamed the same person on both ends? Yes, of course. The physical matter is the same. As are the memories/personality. That is what we are composed of.
92. What insects are you afraid of? All of them forever. GAH.
93. If you could print any phrase on a T-shirt, what would it say? Honestly, am over T-shirts with phrases on them. I've owned far too many of them in my past.
94. What's the most eccentric thing you have ever worn? When I was younger, I didn't realize the difference between "leggings" and "stockings." I read in a book about a girl who wore a sweater with leggings. I thought that she was the epitome of cool, so I wore a sweater with stockings. AND NOTHING ELSE. Yep.
95. If you could pick one food that you could eat all you wanted but it would have no effect on how much you weigh, what food would it be? Corned beef and cabbage.
96. What are your parents interested in? My father: James Bond, science fiction movies (especially of the 50s), antiques, knives/guns/cigarette lighters. My mother: Sherlock Holmes, Lincoln and the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, The Moody Blues, quilting, blue willow.
97. Have you ever caught an insect and kept it as a pet? No. But I did catch and eat a fly once?
Have you ever caught and tamed a wild animal? No, but I was attacked by a rabid squirrel that I tried to beat back with my princess umbrella when I was 6.
98. What is more helpful to you, wishes or plans? Wishes. Plans get ignored and forgotten, but wishes spark creativity and give drive.
99. When do you feel your life energy the strongest? Listening to powerful orchestral music.
100. You are spending the night alone in the woods and may bring only 3 items with you. What do you bring? A house with all of the modern amenities, civilization, and a book.

5. What is your biggest goal for this year? Move out/pay off my debt.
6. Where do you want to be in 5 years? Holding a degree, working at my current job (but with a higher position), writing legitimate things that can be shared with the entire world. Also, maybe famous.
7. What stage of life are you in right now? Early adulthood. Have a solid sense of self, but can't really do anything with it yet.

Will you miss them when they are gone? Of course. And they're running out of time, which doesn't help.

24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you? Lots to list, really, but all have healed for the time being, so it's hard to remember what qualifies as the "most."
25. Who have you hugged today? Stephanie (my replacement and new favorite person ever).
26. Who has done something today to show they care about you? My dad offered to make my lunch, my boss told me to go home (and not to let it drift, basically), my brother brought up my laundry and folded it, my mother gave me a cigarette and listened to me tell a rambling and pointless tale about a dream in which I was Rhys's wife (don't ask),analineblue sent me emails, numerous coworkers announced that I looked beautiful (funny what wearing a skirt will do for one's esteem), and so on.

28. If you could learn how to do three things just by wishing and not by working what would they be? Latin, every word of every Shakespeare play ever, the history of the world.

68. Where is the most fun place you have EVER been? Quebec. I got lost there for hours, on cobblestone streets, asking strange men for cigarettes in French.

Because I am taking over and becoming Supreme Monarch of the Universe. I really don't know, otherwise. Probably the right to bear arms, only because the other ones I can think of (like Freedoms of speech, religion, etc) are things I couldn't easily let go. Generally, I could care less about weapons (even if I do like the shiny ones).

91. In Star Trek people 'beam' back and forth between different places. What this means is they stand in a little tube and their molecules are deconstructed and sent to another tube somewhere else where they are reassembled. Only problem is when the molecules are deconstructed the person is dead. When they are put back together it is only a clone that has all the dead person's memories. So...Is the person who gets beamed the same person on both ends? Yes, of course. The physical matter is the same. As are the memories/personality. That is what we are composed of.
