The Questions: (which I totally changed, via permission to break the rules above)
1. What is your Favorite color?
Definitely green. It's the color of trees and grass and life and happy. I have to limit myself so my wardrobe is not entirely green and black. It's a good thing I also love orange and blue and yellow and red and brown and sometimes pink. I was once called a Circus Goth.
2. What is your favorite animal?
Hmm. Hard to say. I'm probably more of a cat person than a dog person. I like that cats have a sense of dignity and reserve. I like knowing that you have earned a cat's regard. I have met some very nice dogs, but I mostly think of dogs as slobbering for attention while they jump up on you or pee themselves out of sheer excitement. Dogs try too hard. Also, barking is obnoxious.
I'd like to have chickens and cows, but mostly so I can eat them.
3.What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink?
I love hot tea. Rooibos is a great substitute for the black (camellia sinensis) of my youth. I found a great recipe for chai tea latte concentrate about three days before the weather warmed up for good.
I do miss coffee sometimes, but I remember it rarely tasted as good as it smelled.
4.
Oh, British all the way. UK Top Gear is seriously funny and I don't even care about cars. I love Black Adder and Mr. Bean, and the old Monty Python show. I'm an Anglophile all the way.
5. Do you like Post-it Notes?
Yeah, I like them. I don't use them very often, though. Toby did find a program that allows us to put post-it notes onto our computer screen, to remind us of things. It's very handy, and we can't lose them.
Right now, I have one with a list of books to look for at the library.
5. What's your passion?
I'd like to know. I think at this stage, I'm just trying to keep up with life. Hopefully by the time I have a minute to think about it, I'll have more of an idea.
6. What’s your favorite pattern?
I'm going to take pattern both ways.
My favorite pattern is the Steampunk Torian, by Damsel In This Dress. (It's my sister-in-law's company and we have sort of a Midwest franchise). I like how this pattern is long and curvy and makes me appear long and curvy, too. Buttons and trim remind me of my band geek days.
My favorite pattern is paisley, but I also love stripes...and polka dots...and plaid...and florals...and damask. I like patterns.
7. What movies could you watch over and over again and still love?
The Princess Bride
Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi
Napoleon Dynamite
Pride and Prejudice (Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, please.)
The Quiet Man
Young Frankenstein
8. What’s your favorite number?
42. It's the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
9. Favorite day of the week?
Saturday. We don't usually have to get anyone to anywhere or be dressed or on time. The kids are home, and we can go or stay as we please. Isn't it everyone's favorite?
10. Favorite Flower?
Mock orange. It's a shrub that blooms in the spring at my grandparents' house, and it smells AMAZING.
I was supposed to nominate others, but that's a rule I'm prepared to break. I ruin it for everyone.
