Meme, gacked from

pinkyogamuffin. Because it's snowing outside and I'm having a lazy Saturday afternooon...

1. Something purple within 5 feet of you? Sezen Aksu's Deliveren cd
2. The sexiest item of clothing you own? God, I don't know. I rather doubt I own anything that could really be termed sexy. Personally I'm rather fond of the combination between my black DocMartens and the skirt that I like to refer to as army-baroque, but that's probably just me. That violet striped blouse perhaps, the one in the picture that used to be in my profile a while ago; it shows a bit of cleavage, looks rather well with some kind of pendant, too...
3. Your nails were last painted? Years ago, literally, in my belated pseudo-goth phase, black. Any other colour, and you'd have to go back to my school days, although I might have painted my toe nails a couple of summers ago.
4. The weirdest thing you've ever heated in the microwave: I don't even own one. Food, at work.
5. How much Japanese do you know? None. Is it obligatory to know Japanese these days?
6. Do you look good in yellow? No, I haven't the colouring to bring it off. Although I had a yellow skirt and jacket in the 80ies, but then again, the 80ies. Enough said.
7. Do you sing? In the car, when no one can hear me, along with cds, male singers, preferably. Can't hold a tune, though.
8. Ever danced naked in front of a crowd? A most emphatic No. Not even in my dreams/nightmares.
9. Do you spit? In the sink, when I brush my teeth.
10. Is your hair long enough to chew on? Not really. But it's not a habit I've ever taken up, not even when I had long hair.
11. Least favorite color? Pink. Again, youthful sins committed during the 80ies don't count. Oh, and beige. I loathe beige.
12. Ever had Dippin' Dots? No. Seeing as I've never even heard of it/them...
13. Ever played an instrument? The flute, but badly. The simple wooden kind, Blockföte, then Altflöte.
16. Ever been to a palm reader? No.
17. Last Pez dispenser you purchased? I couldn't possibly remember.
18. Have you had sex in your current car? No
19. Did you have a good weekend? So-so. Nice day of skiing, followed by the aforementioned stupid car-crash. A walk and reading Dostojewski on Sunday.
20. What are you thinking about right now? That I should be writing a serious, reflective, oh-so-profound entry instead of doing this meme, mostly.
21. Have you ever had a black eye? No.
22. How is today going for you? Okay. Nice. Relaxing. Lazy. Vaguely inspired to write, even.
23. Any plans for tonight? Not really. Watching the Pairs Short Program (Olympics, figure skating, that is).
24. Ever photograph something that was dumb? Dumb, possibly; redundant, certainly.
27. Do you find Smurfette sexy? I'm not lesbian enough for that. ~~Also, I do NOT want my innocent childhood memories spoiled by thoughts of smurf orgies. ::shudders::~~
28. Current disappointment? My lack of initiative to deal with the job situation, mostly.
29. Do you have an air freshner in your car? No. Neither my sister or I smoke in the car, so there really is no need; also, I have an aversion to these things.
30. Do you have plants in your room? bedroom? In the bedroom two of these philodendron vine-like plants, and a potted ivy. Then there's also one small cactus, a former(? now re-potted in a normal flower pot) bonsai, my olive-tree that is spending the winter inside, and a not-quite dead plant I don't even know the German name of that I got a couple of birthdays ago.
31. If you could drink anything right now, what would it be? Pago peach juice? But I probably will get myself a diet coke now.
32. Last piece of mail opened? Gas/electricity bill.
33. Does anything hurt on your body right now? No.
34. What city was your last taxi cab ride in? Here in Vienna, with G. to the hospital last autumn.
35. Last alcoholic drink you had? Two glasses of red wine (Zweigelt), yesterday evening.
36. If someone you hated died, would you laugh and spit on their grave? No. Even if I hated anyone that much, they'd be dead, so there'd really be no point to it.
37. What were you doing at 9 PM last night? Wasting time online, I believe.
38. What is your favorite drink at Starbucks? I've been there only twice, not counting the one time I only bought a muffin for R.'s birthday.
39. Do you exercise as much as you should? No. Not that I've ever excercised much, but I've been awfully slacking this winter.
40. Did you do the deed on prom night? I don't think we had a Maturaball, even. So, no.
41. Would you give your bf/gf a second chance if they cheated on you? That would depend on the circumstances, and how much I loved them.
42. Whats your favorite quote? Varies. Recently, I've been thinking about Dostojewski's Der Mensch ist unglücklich, weil er nicht weiß, daß er glücklich ist; nur deshalb. a lot.

This made me laugh several times :-) And I loathe beige as well.

:-) is good.

And beige is such a non-colour... gah.

Also, icon love!

Ah, yes, one of my favorite J/D icons. Of course, I forgot who made it, it's credited on my icon page. I usually don't like text icons because the text never fits the image the way I want it too - it's a very personal thing, after all - but this one is just perfect. *sigh* Also, I like that sweater on John, he.
