Yet Another Survey

Sat., January 8, 11:39 AM

Ah, yes, another questionnaire. I stole this one from the Purple Chai, although evidently it has been around for some time. I like these not only for the questions – especially, since it’s my page, I can refuse to answer them. But I like the exercise of coding a list with numbers. I can make believe I’m a programmer.

  1. Name the Last Four Things You Have Bought
    I got to the market yesterday, between the weathers. Coffee, celery, green olives… I should add I paid for (though U.D. picked them up), some scratch-off lottery tickets for Husband’s birthday on Thursday. (He won enough to buy a few lottos and take some cash; I never win those things.)
  2. Name Four Drinks You Regularly Drink
    Coffee. Tea. Diet Coke. Lots of water.
  3. Last Time You Cried?
    It doesn’t take much. I read the obituary of Rosemary Kennedy this morning, and I cried remembering her mother’s description of why they chose frontal lobotomy for her.
  4. What's In Your CD Player?
    The only CD player currently loaded is the one in my computer: Hoyle Card Games.
  5. What's Under Your Bed?
    Besides dust bunnies? Due to the general state of crampedness in this room, I haven’t been under there in a while. Shoes no longer used. Almost certainly some books, from when I used to read in bed.
  6. What Time Did You Wake Up Today?
    The clock is set for six. I’m usually awake before then.
  7. Current Hair?
    Growing back, but still not fit for the public. Though the grey grew back first, there’s now more dark in my real hair than in my wig.
  8. Current Clothes?
    Black wooly pants, T-shirt, soft slippers. I will have to change before I go out.
  9. Current Desktop Picture?
    One of my old favorites: a kitten looking in the mirror, where he sees the image of a lion. “What matters most is how you see yourself.”
  10. Favorite Places To Be?
    Where doesn’t matter as much as who. As long as it’s not too warm or cold – you think that’s easy? – I can probably make myself comfortable. Example: I don’t want to go back there, but I was fine during chemo treatments.
  11. Least Favorite Places?
    The office is one of them. I’m seldom happy in the mall.
  12. If You Could Play An Instrument?
    Well, I’m trying to sell the fiddle, y’know. Piano, I guess. Or electronic keyboard.
  13. Favorite Color(s)?
    Blue. But Gemini’s get more than one pick, and my others are green and yellow.
  14. How Tall Are You?
    About four feet eleven inches – and still shrinking.
  15. Favorite expression?
    “Nothing you ever learn is wasted.” And I’m sure you’ve also heard, “Mindreading costs extra.”
  16. One Person From Your Past You Wish You Could Talk To:
    Just one? Uh uh. My Gramma. And my Grrampa, the other Samuel (about whom I have yet to write).
  17. Favorite Day(s)?
    I don’t think there is one. I take each day at a time, and there’s usually something good in them.
  18. Where Would You Like To Go?
    Just about anywhere!
  19. Favorite food?
    Ice cream. That was in the last survey. Second favorite is pizza, and that was there too.
  20. Color of most clothes you own
    Some shade of blue.
  21. Number of pillows you sleep with?
    One. Even if I start with more, I finish with one.
  22. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
    Oversized T-shirts, usually. Many of them are supplied by my son, who receives a new one every time he donates blood.
  23. What were you doing 12AM last night?
    Free Cell. Just wasn’t ready to sleep.
  24. How old will you be in 10 years?
    Y’know, any of us could be gone tomorrow. However, I will be approaching 75.
  25. What do you think you'll be doing in 10 years?
    Keyboarding, going on line. And still looking forward to tomorrow.
  26. Are you paranoid?
    Is it truly paranoia if there’s really someone after you?
  27. Do you burn or tan?
    Back in the day, I had no trouble getting a tan. Now I take medications that suggest you stay out of the sun. And I still look moth-eaten where they did the radiation therapy.
  28. What is the brand of your wallet?
    Brand? Wallet? There’s a zipper compartment in my purse, and that has no brand name either.
  29. First piercing/tattoo?
    Ears only – one hole each. I believe I was 42. Believe it or not, the experience is written up on the Body Modification site, probably included because it’s so archaic.
  30. Last person you yelled at?
    Need you ask? Every time Husband asks a question, I have to yell the answer – especially if either radio or TV is on, since he cranks them up to high volume.
  31. Last thing you ate?
    A half a pastry, because I was trying to raise my sugar level. (I had not eaten enough when I took my morning meds.) That was hours ago; I think I need to eat again.
