I haven't done a survey in a while.

...and this one is fun.

[A is for age:] 34. Crap. I typed 38 first. Hello, frightening ghost of birthday future. Eesh.

[B is for booze of choice:] Red wine and microbrew. Wine can be cheap, but I'm a beer snob. I'm so proud.

[C is for career you want:] I want to be a professional student, and I'm not kidding. I can always do stuff to pay bills, but there is so much that I want to learn and do...Work kind of gets in the way. I prefer it when my "life" is integrated with my work, which might sound unhealthy but if you love the stuff you're doing it really doesn't hurt you or the people you love. I'm not sure I can do photography as a career but all of this media stuff will come together somehow, I'm sure. I have a small core of confidence about it. We'll see. Ultimately, whatever it is, I like to be around people most of the time, and to see the world.

[D is for your dog's name:] Punkinheadbestdogever

[E is for essential items for your everyday life:] Contact lenses. Without them I'm completely ineffectual (at least in motion...I can still talk and stuff, but whatever...) and after they go in I can motor myself around and not bump into things and cause all kinds of consternation wherever I go. So yeah, they're essential. After that, there's, let's see...cake. ; ) Music. Certain people.

[F is for favorite songs at the moment:] "Good Day for the Blues", Storyville (check them out - not well known but good), "The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes," Hem, "All These Things That I've Done," The Killers, "Good Times", Chic, "The Girl I Can't Forget", Fountains of Wayne.

[G is for favorite game:] Scattergories. They need to provide some new categories, however. We used to play it on placemats at Ledo's...make up our own categories. Can't have that kind of fun everywhere, for free, with a placemat, and a pen. ; )

[H is for hometown:] Silver Spring, maryland.

[I is for instruments you play:] I can sing. And pressing random keys on the keyboard like the synth-pop goddess God intended me to be, suckas.

[J is for jam or jelly you like:] Apricot. Excellent. And then there's apple butter. More excellent...particularly with peanut butter.

[K is for how many kids you want?] This sounds lamer than I intend it to, but I'm trying to not really want that right now. If it happens it's going to be a happy accident (not THAT kind of accident, silly. I'm too grown for that...an accident of fate, or whatever looks like fate) so I'm not applying any numbers to the situation because I don't like dancing with the devil, especially on Friday night.

[L is for living arrangements:] Boomerang situation with my parents for right now. So hopefully very temporary, but I've been in worse.

[M is for mom's name:] Anne

[N is for name of your crush:] This rather tall, oddly conservative guy, but as I type this I realilze that it's sort of passing. It's been fun. Otherwise, all of my Platonic boyfriends who make me smile. : ) And Jimmy Kimmel. Damn you, Sarah Silverman. Jason Bateman - thanks to Arrested Development for bringing him back to me. : )

[O is for overnight hospital stays:] Several, but I barely remember them at this point, except for one when I was 13 that was really terrible. Do NOT get bone removed from your hip. Just don't do it. My hip hurts when it's damp out, just like my grandma's does...Drag.

[P is for phobias:] Being in a car wreck (is that a phobia? I'm not afraid to drive, so it's not necessarily the same.)

[Q is for quotes you like] Lots. Here's one from Patia: "I write to imagine things differently and in imagining things differently perhaps the world will change. I write to honor beauty. I write to correspond with my friends. I write as a daily act of improvisation."~Terry Tempest Williams

[R is for relationship that lasted the longest:] If you count up the on segments of the off and on dealio, I guess the last one. Three years? Two and a half? Two? Ten? Haha. I don't know...

[S is for sexual orientation:] I am oriented, yes. And unfortunately I still like boys.

[T is for time you wake up:] Around 11, but dragging my ass out of bead occurs much, much earlier, unfortunately - between 7:15 and 8:15. I can't wake up. Seriously. It's becoming a problem.

[U is for color underwear right now] Black.

[V is for vegetable you love] Corn on the cob. Fancy mushrooms. Green and red peppers. Olives. Or are they a fruit? Tomatos too...I love veggies. : )

[W is for worst habit:] Having high expectations. Snacks. Procrastinating.

[X is for x-rays you've had:] A bunch. My mouth the most...I hate dental x-rays.

[Y is for yummy food you make:] I can rock a grilled cheese like you've never had in your life. : ) Different kinds of cheese, even...Don't be fooled. It's a skill. I also make good chili and chicken stir-fry type things.

[Z is for zodiac sign:] Capricorn.

do I now need to ask you to delete that comment so I not get spammed?

I wish I knew that kind of stuff.
I guess I do need to ask you that. Sorry,
Sheesh, that was dumb.
