azdesertrose1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
Oh lord. What to choose? I have two scars that look like little division signs (the old fashioned division signs, the bar with one dot above and one dot below) on my left knee, from having arthroscopy.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
A great big picture of an eagle's nest. It actually belongs to my stepdad; it was a gift that his Army Reserve unit gave him upon his retirement. There's also an old plate that I think belonged to my grandmother.
3. WHAT DOES YOUR MOBILE PHONE LOOK LIKE?
A grey and navy blue Nokia
4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
Just about anything, as long as it's not too treacly.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
11:10 AM MST
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
A winning lotto ticket
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Lots of things
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION/S?
My books
9. WHAT IS YOUR ASTROLOGICAL SIGN?
Capricorn
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
Oh yes. Rather badly sometimes.
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Sometimes
12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
Not sure. The last time I cried it wasn't really because of a person, exactly.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?
Tea Rose, but I don't wear it that often.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR/EYE COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Doesn't matter that much, but I tend to prefer brunettes, and I love green eyes.
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO?
Anything is better than the one proposal I accepted; over the phone, having just found out I was pregnant by him, at age 16.
16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
Neither. Tea if I need caffeine, otherwise water.
17. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Cheese.
18. IF YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Cheese fries from Outback. Heart attack on a plate, but OMG yum.
19. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?
I don't know. Maybe![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
colour_red; he gets a bit cross with me sometimes. I try not to make people mad though.
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU?
Probably the Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam quilt that my Nana (paternal grandmother) made for me when she found out my mom was pregnant with me.
22. DO YOU LIKE ANYBODY?
Sure, there are plenty of people I like.
23. ARE YOU DOUBLE JOINTED?
In my hands.
24. FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND?
Don't really have one. I'm trying to start making more of my clothes; that way they fit me exactly (something I have issues with because I'm tall and full-figured). And it tends to work out cheaper than almost anything else but thrift-store shopping.
25. WHAT'S YOUR DREAM CAR?
I don't know. My first car was a Nissan Sentra, and it was so damn reliable and easy to take care of and just plain good that I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
26. DO YOU HAVE A PET RIGHT NOW?
I have two cats named Catarina (age 17) and Roxanne (age 15), who actually belong to my parents.
27. WHAT KIND IS IT?
They are both shorthaired brown tabby cats.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
I would probably try really hard not to fall in love with someone who was not going to stay in my life.
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
It depends on the person. For some people, actions speak louder than words; some people need to hear the words.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
30
31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
Redheads *grin*
32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?
Probably my voice mail.
33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
Stupidity
34. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE USA?
No, but I'd like to.
35. YOUR WEAKNESSES?
Quite a few. I'm prone to depression, I tend to withdraw rather than argue, I can be lazy, and I'm secretive, just to name the most prominent.
36. What happened to 36?
37 ate it.
37. FIRST JOB?
Well, I babysat rather a lot in my adolescent years. I also volunteered for a food bank when I was out of school due to Hurricane Hugo. My first real live paying job was answering phones at Pizza Hut (it was one of those delivery/carryout places, not an actual Pizza Hut restaurant).
39. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS?
Halfway watching CSI.
40. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I don't know. If I could be made generally smaller that would be nice; I feel unfeminine sometimes, being tall and large framed and full figured.
41. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?
Boredom and nothing better to do.
42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
My hair and my eyes
43. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?
I'd miss my cider and my Jamison's. But given what happened the last time they tried that, it would be a really stupid idea.
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Books. Maybe (forlorn hope) the lovely Husqvarna Viking sewing machine that I want.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
I have one. I would have liked to have maybe one or two more, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Yup. My first name is from my dad's great-aunt, and I share my middle name with my mother, my maternal grandmother, and her maternal grandmother.
47. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?
Sometimes
48. WHAT DID YOU DO THIS MORNING?
Woke up, did laundry, put a DVD in the DVD player and fell asleep on the couch.
49. WHAT DID YOU LAST EAT?
A hamburger and hash browns.
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
When I slow down and write neatly, yes. My usual grocery-list hand looks horrid though.
51. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Honey ham
52. ANY BAD HABITS?
Plenty.
54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS?
Maybe
55. HAVE YOU EVER TOLD A SECRET YOU SWORE NOT TO TELL?
Only when I thought there was a good reason to tell. Usually I'm quite a good secret keeper.
56. DO LOOKS MATTER?
Not really.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
Sometimes I beat pillows, sometimes I cry, sometimes I do things I shouldn't do.
58. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
I don't really have one. I miss Charleston, and I miss the desert, though.
59. WHAT IS YOUR PERFECT DATE?
Well, I could have a number of perfect dates, but a nice template would be a good dinner with good conversation, maybe a nice walk in a park or along a seawall or at the beach, maybe a movie or play.
60. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
A small brown teddy bear named Boo. I think he must have been Halloween themed, because he got his name from his t-shirt, which was orange with "Boo" written in black letters.
61. HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE IN YOUR CELL PHONE?
Oh, do not EVEN make me count. Lots.
62. WHAT IS YOUR AIM SCREEN NAME?
I don't have one.
63. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
As often as possible
64. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
Not only no but hell no. I like myself with no bruises or broken bones, thanks.
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
Intelligence, humor, at least as much sanity as I have, common interests, honesty. Oh, and my kid has to like him, and he has to like my kid.
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Noie (never used any more), Noni (only by small children), Mom/Mommy/Mummy (only by Mini-me), Katherine/Kate (by fellow SCA players) ETA: DesertRose/Rose/DR by online friends

93. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?

Date: 2006-05-19 04:50 pm (UTC)Speaking as the petite type, I can tell you that it's overrated. Fashion doesn't know how to design for us, either. Sleeves are too long, and button-down shirts gap just right to show off our tits during job interviews. And don't even get me started on pants. Especially pants for petite pregnant women. Oy. I still shop in the boys' department, sometimes, just so I can find clothes that sit remotely right across my shoulders and ass.
At least you can make your own clothes. If I had the money, I'd have my clothes made for me, just so I wouldn't have to endure another fitting room nightmare... Also, I could pick the colors I like. I think it'd be awesome if every stitch of clothing I owned to be black and/or green. :)

Date: 2006-05-20 02:48 am (UTC)I actually kind of like my height; I just wish I didn't have linebacker shoulders, and it would be nice not to gain five pounds just by looking at goodies.
