OK, I'll try this.

What color are your kitchen plates?
White with pastel flowers (I think). They're not really mine, if you know what I mean.

What book are you reading now?
None.

What's on your mouse pad?
No mouse pad.

Favorite board game?
Generally don't like board games.

Favorite magazine?
Fine Woodworking.

What's the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
I don't remember. I think it varies.

Least favorite color?
Don't really have a least favorite. I like just about all colors. I enjoy working with colors.

First child's name?
Irina

Do you speed in traffic?
I drive about seven miles above the posted limit.

Sleep with stuffed animals?
No. Although as a child, I almost always slept with a cat. I don't think that was optional on my part. There were two cats in succession who seemed to think I was their kitten. I was occasionally awakened by the second of them washing my hair with sandpaper tongue and fishy-catfood-breath. If I moved, she would hold my head down with her paw. If I still tried to move, she would unsheath her claws and pin me down. Can't have a dirty kitten, now can we?

What was your first car?
Volkswagen bus.

If you could meet one person dead or alive, who would it be?
Vasishtha (How's that for obscure?)

Favorite alcoholic drink?
Wine.

Do you eat the stems of broccoli?
Yes, but I like to peel them before cooking.

Your dream job?
It would be a potpourri of part-time jobs. Professional whistle tweaker, woodworker, builder, something with marketing, editor, health education consultant. (This was a good question because it reminded me that I'm already doing a lot of stuff I really like.)

If you could have any natural hair color, what would it be?
It's fine the way it is. Just happy to have natural hair.

Have you ever been in love?
Have been and am.

Favorite movie?
They wear off. I don't have a lifetime favorite. Lately, I enjoyed Rounders, Toy Story Two.

Do you type with your fingers on the right keys?
Yrd.

What's under your bed?
Do I have to look?

Favorite number?
No brainer. 42.

What's your single biggest fear?
That's pretty deep. I've got this abandonment thing that goes back to early childhood. You won't reject me because I have abandonment issues, will you?

Favorite cd?
I only have two or three CDs, and I wouldn't call any of them favorites. I've been too broke lately to buy CDs, so I haven't started an Irish Trad collection yet.

Favorite tv show that is now off the air?
Northern Exposure. No contest.

Favorite tv show still on?
Who's Line Is It Anyway?

What screen saver is on your computer right now?
Don't have a screen saver.
