Today seems to be a meme-ish day, when I actually get a break (I just typed a 20 page memo, and I have another one to write). However, it’s lunch time, and that means a meme snarfed from six_gun_samurai:
- When was the last time you ran around in the rain? Well, I ran to the van through the rain on Monday. Does that count?
- When was the last time you saw one of your parents? Sob. Just about 11 months ago exactly, when I saw my dad for the last time just before we buried him. I was with him when he died on 11/11/04.
- Which family member do you most resemble? My dad, I think.
- Do you wear cologne/perfume? Almost never, but folks still give it to me :-(.
- Do you wear tennis shoes? As in “shoes designed for the tennis court specifically”, no. I tend to wear walking or running shoes when I wear athletic footware.
- Do you ‘clean up nice’? My wife thinks so.
- When was the last time you tripped and fell? When my daughter last had a meltdown. For some reason, her meltdowns addle my brain, and I tend to trip, whap my head, and otherwise injure myself. But that’s why God gives a child two parents so we can cover for each other. When the meltdowns get to my wife, I’m able to handle them; and vice-versa.
- Where was the last place you slept besides your home? On the van into work this morning; before that, during the conference (whoops, did I say that with my public fingers?)
- What are you listening to right now? The OBC of the Lippa version of The Wild Party.
- Have you ever started an uncontrollable fire? Not that I know of.
- Ever run out of gas on the road? Nope. Always refill at ¼ tank.
- Would you rather cut the grass or rake the leaves? Rake leaves. The grass aggravates the allergies.
- Your name spelled backwards? lienaD. I understand it is a popular name in Ahamo.
- What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? This quiz.
- Last time you swam in a pool? A few weeks ago, before it got too cold to go into our pool.
- Have you ever been in a school play? Yes. Who hasn’t, at some age?
- How many kids do you want? The one I have.
- Type of music you dislike most? The music they listen to these days, it’s just noise.
- You registered to vote? Yup. My first election that I recall was voting for John Anderson in 1980, although I must have registered in 1978 or 1979.
- You have cable? No. DirecTV.
- Ever seen Donnie Darko? Who?
- Favorite food? Oh, too much to mention, but I’ll never pass up a good bowl of Onion Soup, a nice Chicken Cordon Bleu, well-made Thai food, Sushi, or Greek food.
- Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? I see no need to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
- Do you have a garden? We haven’t reestablished it yet; all we have is landscaping.
- What’s your favorite comic strip? Right now, I keep up with Funky Winkerbean and FBOFW.
- Ever been to Japan? No.
- Best movie you’ve seen in the past month? I’ve only seen one movie in the last month, Oliver Twist.
- Favorite pizza topping? Garlic, feta cheese, chicken, and spinach.
- Chips or popcorn? Chips, preferably cheddar cheese or BBQ.
- What color lipstick do you usually wear? Ummm, I think you have me pegged wrong.
- Have you ever smoked peanut shells? As in smoked almonds? Never, my daughter is allergic to peanuts.
- Orange Juice or apple? Orange.

- Sprite or 7-up? 7-up, preferably with Creme d’Mint in it.
- Have you ever had to wear a uniform to work? Yes, if a conference shirt counts.
- Ever thrown up in public? No.
- Would you prefer being a millionaire or find true love? Probably true love, although luckily I did find that, and still make a decent living.
- Do you believe in love at first sight? Attraction, yes. Deep and enduring love takes time.
- Can ex’s be friends? Yes, if handled right.
- Who was the last person you visited in a hospital? Me. Before that, my dad.
- Did you have a lot of hair as a baby? Think so.
- What message is on your answering machine? You’ll have to call it to find out.
- What do you think about most? Wouldn’t you like to know (heh, heh, heh).
