davenport_6.
1. What color is your toothbrush?
[Now that's an original question, and not one I think I've seen in one of these memes before... ::goes to check::] White and light turquoise.
2. Name one person that made you smile today?
I smile at customers all the time, or at least my mouth does. G. made me laugh though, when we were talking about his article. However annoying he can occasionally be, we do have the same kind of humour.
3. What were you doing at 8 am this morning?
Oversleeping and having a weird and vaguely, but not very, sexual dream about A***a., followed by a dream where I was chasing a very small child that I was supposed to watch but had run away from me through a strange city.
4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago?
Reading my lj-friendslist? Wasting time on the internet, in any case.
5. What is your favorite chocolate bar?
Don't really have any. I do like Zotter's chocolates, though.
6. Have you ever been to a strip club?
No, and not planning to, either. I'm just too asexual; this kind of thing makes me uncomfortable, and I simply don't find the people (male or female) who do the stripping attractive at all. /TMI
7. What is the last thing you said aloud?
Something on the phone to my sister.
8. What is the best ice cream flavor?
The best, objectively speaking? De gustibus, etc. Favourite ones are chocolate, chestnut, strawberry, pistaccio, malaga...
9. What was the last thing you had to drink?
Glass of tap-water.
10. What was the last thing you had to eat?
Chocolate pudding.
11. What is your favorite Restaurant?
I don't eat out enough to have one.
12. Have you bought any new clothing items this week?
Only for my niece.
13. The last sporting event you watched?
Um. Figure Skating World Championships, I think.
14. What is your favorite flavor of popcorn?
I don't actually know or have tried any other than the old-fahioned butter & salt variety.
15. Who is the last person you sent a message on livejournal?
nacktmull70
16. Ever go camping?
Sort of. When we were a lot younger my sister and I had been invited twice to travel with our aunt and a small travel group with a jeep and tents, once to Iceland, and once to Morocco. I really enjoyed it and would rather like to do it again.
17. Do you take vitamins daily?
No. I try to eat (not exclusively, but regularly) vegetables, fruit, milk-products, whole grain bread; IMO that should be enough.
18. Do you go to church every Sunday?
No. Not believing in God would make that kind of pointless.
19. Do you have a tan?
To quote Angel, 'There are three things I don't do: tan, date and sing in public'. I maybe get a bit of a tan on my arms and face over the summer, enough to see tan-lines from sleeves and wrist-watch, but that's about it.
20. Do you like Chinese food over pizza?
The sophisticated thing would probably be to say yes, but I think I prefer pizza; there's something wonderfully and deliciously simple about it.
21. Do you drink your pop with a straw?
Not since I've been a child, or unless it comes in a bottle.
22. What did your last text message say?
I think it was something to my sister, but I'm not going to search & turn on my mobile to check.
23. What are you doing tomorrow?
Work; beyond that, I don't have any plans, except that I really should start studying Russian again.
24. Have you ever had a threesome?
No, and not particularly planning to either.
25. Look to your left. what do you see?
Curtain, window, wet trees, wall and windows of the house across the yard.
26. What color is your watch?
Black, except for the metal parts.
27. What do you think of when you hear Australia?
Kangoroos, koalas, the usual cliches.calanthe_b
28. What is your birthstone?
Google says emerald. Or agate.
29. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru?
Surprisingly there actually are a few drive-thru McDonald's in Vienna, but in the rare instances where I have a craving for a hamburger and fries I just go to the restaurant and buy take-away. Then again, I also almost never drive in the city.
30. What is your favorite number?
I haven't any.
31. Who's the last person you talked to on the phone?
My sister.
32. Any plans today?
Not really. Write that lj-entry about Victory of Eagles and professional authors and fandom, maybe.
33. How many states/provinces/counties have you lived in?
Never left Vienna. ::is boring::
34. Biggest annoyance right now?
I'm remarkably balanced and cheerful at the moment.
35. Last song listened to?
::checks iTunes:: ABBA, I Have A Dream
36. Can you say the alphabet backwards?
Can't say I've ever tried it. Probably not.
37. Do you have a maid to clean your house?
To begin with, what house?
38. Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time?
Autumn to spring, whichever pair of Doc Martens I have at the moment; summer, whatever there is.
39. Are you jealous of anyone?
Not really.
40. Is anyone jealous of you?
Seeing as I'm not in a relationship or have a career, I rather doubt it.
41. Have you seen Iron Man?
No. Although I do have a vague fondness for Robert Downey Jr..
42. Do any of your friends have children?
Yes. Which is kind of to be expected at my age.
43. What do you usually do during the day?
Paint my fingernails while my maid is cleaning my house, obviously. Er, work?
44. Do you hate anyone right now?
No.
45. Do you use the word "hello" daily?
I guess... Well, hallo.
46. What color is your car?
Dark metallic green, and dented from when my sister parked it in what some hours later became the centre of a hailstorm, a few years ago.
45. Do you like cats?
Yes. Don't own one, though. Or should that be I'm not owned by one?
48. Have you ever been to a gay club?
Depends how you define club. Cafe, more like. Sorta kinda, don't ask. With G., of all people. Don't ask. And while we're at it, also to a SM cafe/club with U. and her ex-boyfriend, wilfully ignoring that the boyfriend had ideas about me participating. Tell people you like NIN, and they apparently jump to the strangest conclusions.
49. Have you ever been to Six Flags?
Where? What?
50. How did you get your worst scar?
Can't say I have any that deserve the label 'worst'. The marks from where I accidentally poured hot pasta water over myself have faded completely and other than that the most I ever got was three stitches on my right index finger from a bike accident, but you don't even see the, I hesitate to say scar, unless you know it's there.
