 A to Z |

(From Athena.)
A: Actor.
Currently, I am blind to the wiles of any actor but Michael Vartan. B: Boyhood Idols. (How about a girlhood idol?)
I only had eyes for Olivia Newton John. C: Chore You Hate.
Dusting and vacuuming. Motherfucking pet hair. D: Dad's Name.
Dad. E: Essential Video In Collection.
The high school home movies I made, footage of my friends carousing set to music and clips of various movies and TV shows. MASTERPIECES, I tell you. F: Favorite Actress.
Keri Russell and I am not embarrassed about that. I also really like Judi Dench, which might sound stupid, but she can kind of do no wrong in my eyes and always raises the level of her fellow performers and whatever piece she's appearing in, even though I thought it was shitty that she got the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love for eight minutes of screen time. Oh, and Cate Blanchett! I am really kind of in love with her and I might as well admit it. Also Juliette Binoche. LOVE HER. G: Gold or Silver.
Silver. H: Hometown.
Red Stick. I: Instruments Played.
Piano and teeny tiny wee bit of guitar, but not really. (The only two songs I can play in their entirety on the guitar are "Mystery" by Indigo Girls and "This Shirt" by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and it's a struggle to get through either one.) J: Job Title.
Research analyst. K: Kids.
The beasts. L: Living Arrangements.
I share a small three-bedroom house with two dogs and two cats. M: Mom's Name.
Mom. N: Number People Slept With.
To quote Athena: Uh, yeah. O: Overnight Hospital Stays.
I did not cry when I was born which was apparently a cause for great alarm. My mom actually thought I was dead for many hours until the nurse brought me to her and was like, "She is fine! She just had some mucus in her lungs!" P: Phobia.
Cockroaches, to an intense degree. Also, more and more, germs. It's really all about the stupid Dateline specials about hotel rooms and doorknobs which I regret ever watching because I think I am now warped for life. Q: Quote You Like.
This is one that stands out to me right now:
you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are going to come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. Whistler, Buffy the Vampire Slayer R: Religious Affiliation.
Catholic. Sometimes. S: Siblings.
One 31-year-old entrepreneur brother, one 26-year-old CPA sister, and one 19-year-old college sophomore brother. T: Time You Wake Up.
Too fucking early, thanks to Zuko and his shrieks of dawn and Khaki's crazed pillow hopping frenzies. U: Unique Habit.
Every day I have to remove my earrings and stick them through my other ear piercings to make sure the holes are still open. I have not worn earrings in my second (both ears) or third (left ear) holes for years, but I just like to make sure they have not closed. It is very weird. I don't even remember when I got the additional piercings, and I'm wondering if I was possibly under the influence with friends, ice cubes, and a sharp needle at the time. Who the hell knows? V: Vegetable You Refuse To Eat.
Raw tomatoes. Or wait -- are tomatoes considered a fruit or a vegetable? I think of them as a vegetable, but apparently there is room for argument on this one. W: Worst Habit.
According to my new dentist, grinding my teeth at night. X: X-rays Taken.
Lots of dental x-rays, especially lately. I had a chest x-ray in the fall of 2001. Y: Yummy Food You Make.
Various brownies and corny bean dip delight. I also make good lasagna and curry chicken salad. Z: Zodiac Sign.
Pisces.
