ABC Meme
Well, everyone seems to be doing it. Here you go.
Accent: I am told that I have no accent. “You’re from Georgia?” is a far more common question than you might think, unless I’m in Kyra Sedgewick mode (“Thank yew. Thank yew very much.”).
Booze: Stoli Vanilla & Diet Coke. I can drink it all night. Either that, or cosmos or some sort of vodkatini.
Chore I hate: Folding laundry and mowing the lawn.
Dog or cat: Cat all the way.
Essential electronics: Computer, iPod & associated accessories. Cell phone.
Favorite cologne(s): Um, Lancome’s Tresor? I really don’t wear perfume anymore.
Gold or silver: Silver.
Hometown: Lawrenceville, Georgia
Insomnia: Not usually.
Job title: Ha! For the moment, Quality Assurance Analyst.
Kids: None.
Living arrangements: Is this a credit application? We own our house. Me, Thomas, two cats.
Most admirable trait: I’m tenacious and I’m loyal.
Number of sexual partners: What a ridiculous fucking question. There is no winning with this, you know? Too many, I’m a prostitute; too few, I’m a frigid bitch. I never answer this question because if you care about the answer so much, then you care too much for me to answer.
Overnight hospital stays: None, I think.
Phobias: Being hit in the face/head with anything. Breaking my fingers.
Quote: “. . .the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about “the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master.”
~David Foster Wallace
Religion: None, really.
Siblings: Also, none.
Time I wake up: 5:30 or 6.
Unusual talent or skill: Um. I can recite a good bit of The Canterbury Tales whilst drunk?
Vegetable I refuse to eat: Collards are fucking nasty.
Worst habit: Nail biting.
X-rays: Teeth, hands. I had an upper GI once. Does that count?
Yummy foods I make: World Famous Roast. Gazpacho.
Zodiac sign: Virgo.

Everyone seems to be doing it? You must be seriously on the cutting edge, because this is the first I’ve seen of it. And, of course, I’m sure I’ll do it eventually.

Yes, your ability to recite anything in Middle English while doing shots of 1800 Cuervo is HIGHLY entertaining!
