Susan Arthur

1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Mr. Rogers, Spike Lee, Holly Hunter, Carl Reiner

2. Where was your first kiss?
On a school bus en route to the State Fair

3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
No.

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Nope

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
Yes

6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex? Geez, I don’t know. It’s a package deal.

7. What really turns you on?
Hm. I like nice hands. Broad shoulders, narrow waist. Intelligence, sense of humor. Flirting. Package deal, again.

8. What do you order at Starbucks?
Mocha. If I’m bothering to get coffee from Sbux I’m not going to waste my time with skinny, either. I do decaf for medical reasons.

9. What is your biggest mistake?
I’m of the school of thought that you deal with where you are. I’ve done some silly things but probably nothing I’d change; I am the sum of everything I’ve done.

10. Ever hurt yourself on purpose?
No, never.

11. Say something totally random about you.
I’m not so good with motivation, but I paint purty good.

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
Never.

13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
Never did, not really. I always read a lot.

14. Did you have braces?
Yep.

15. Are you comfortable with your height?
Yes. Occasionally in a crowd I wish I were taller but mostly I don’t care.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?
Single rose on a date? Took me to a good restaurant? I’m not so much with the romantic. Makes me feel awkward instead of special. Chocolate is always good, though.

17. When do you know it's love?
Good lord, I dunno. Maybe when you want to be with them all the time, and think/hope it’s for the rest of your life?

18. Do you speak any other languages?
No

19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
No

20. What magazines do you read?
My parents gave me a scrip to Reader’s Digest, which fact I find amusing. I used to get Rolling Stone, which made a fun combo in the mailbox. Sometimes I read news magazines online, especially Salon.com.

21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Nope

22. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
Not really

23. Do you watch MTV?
Not since they went all rap all the time a decade or so back.

24. What's something that really annoys you?
Religious conservatives

25. What's something you really like?
Chocolate. The beach. Reading. Reading on the beach w/ a box of chocolates?

26. Do you like Michael Jackson?
Not since I watched MTV

27. Can you dance?
No good with steps. I used to have fun doing the booty-shaking kind of dancing.

28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
Lots of all-nighters in Architecture school. I’ve had some fun all-nighters, too.

29. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
No.

30. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
No ambulances, either rushing or otherwise

31. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?

More than I realized.

Scroll is coming along. It was so hot this afternoon that I took an hour or two off and sat in a slightly cooler room and read a book. I got tired of sticking to the paper. I'm ready to start back.

Too funny.

S	is for	Spectacular
A	is for	Adventurous
N	is for	Nutty

Um... yeah. right. Especially the "adventurous" part. Uh-huh.

LUCIA
L	is for	Lively
U	is for	Upbeat
C	is for	Chipper
I	is for	Intense
A	is for	Altruistic

At least that one's a little closer. The first time I tried it this one said "artistic" instead of "altruistic", and maybe "intelligent" instead of "intense." Whatever. Still better than adventurous. Ha.

Rather Experienced You are 53% pure

Okay. I can live with that. I was afraid I'd be all pure and disgrace myself. How horrible! Especially since I just finished coloring my hair red and feel like I should get the most bang for the buck. So to speak. Oh, and since I use henna instead of chemical dye, the hair won't be flashy orange next time you see me, but a darker richer brown with bright red "highlights." Yeah, that's the ticket. Highlights.

I've been busy this morning and have been working on my closet and such, cleaning out stuff that's too big, too old and too tacky. If it's just too big, like jeans, I'm probably too paranoid to get rid of it and just folded it on the top shelf. If it's really old and tacky, though, it's going to get donated this afternoon, along with the gaudy strawberry plates my mom gave me. Hey, I like strawberries on my plate alright, but the real kind I can eat off the plate, not the painted on kind. Anyway, Miranda discovered the joy of leaping onto the sweater shelf while I was sorting it and there was no stopping her. And (I suppose) non-cat lovers wonder why I have little pulls all over my sweaters. It's not as if I don't pick them up after I get dressed to go out, but them leaping onto the sweater shelf from afar and clutching to hang on doesn't help either.

Oh, and the pic is of Carmen.

I'd better keep moving or I won't get anything else sorted to go to the goodwill place. Ta!
