MISfortunes
Friday is Memesday, Apparently
Snurched (totally a word!) from @wolfpurplemoon, a whopping 100 questions.
- What is your middle name? - The middle initial I use when I sign missives is my maiden name. The middle name on my birth certificate is a variation of my birth mother's middle name.
- How old are you? - Old enough to know better.
- What is your birthday? - Halloween! 👻
- What is your zodiac sign? - Scorpio.
- What is your favorite color? - Red.
- What's your lucky number? - The SO's birthday. It was a lucky day for me, even though I didn't exist yet.
- Do you have any pets? - Three cats at the moment. But they're our kids. We just don't have to send them to college.
- Where are you from? - Around.
- How tall are you? - 5' 3", but I seem to be shrinking.
- What shoe size are you? - 7ish US? It varies by shoe.
- How many pairs of shoes do you own? - Shoes, not many. Boots and heels -- way too many. Boots are my favorite footwear.
- What was your last dream about? - Something about being peacefully asleep.
- What talents do you have? - Snark and flippancy.
- Are you psychic in any way? - Um... I'm gonna go with no.
- Favorite song? - Everclear - Learning How To Smile. The original album version, not the acoustic.
- Favorite movie? - It depends on my mood. Probably Return of the Jedi. I love those cannibalistic little Ewoks, nomming on dead Storm Troopers. Good times!
- Who would be your ideal partner? - I am contractually obliged to answer "the one that I have." But it's really my answer.
- Do you want children? - I have three cats.
- Do you want a church wedding? - We had one. Didn't want it.
- Are you religious? - No. But I believe in good karma.
- Have you ever been to the hospital? - Yes. It's scariest when you have to go because your loved ones are hurting.
- Have you ever got in trouble with the law? - Got in trouble? Er, I never have been in trouble with the law, other than being warned for speeding. And perhaps nearly getting into a shoving match with an insane woman at a grocery store. Fortunately the cops were not called.
- Have you ever met any celebrities? - Yes. I never know what to do with my hands. I want to hug them for bringing me joy. Usually. I mean, sure there are asshole celebrities out there who don't bring me joy, but I don't go out of my way to meet them.
- Baths or showers? - Showers.
- What color socks are you wearing? - Normally, none. Right now, black and white striped Hello Kitty.
- Have you ever been famous? - Er... no. Though those little roboImzy posts that my community has made it to some milestone make me feel like people like me, really like me.
- Would you like to be a big celebrity? - No.
- What type of music do you like? - A little bit of just about everything. I'm particularly fond of film scores, bad pop, and the Indigo Girls.
- Have you ever been skinny dipping? - No.
- How many pillows do you sleep with? - Many. Um, I think there are six on the bed at the moment.
- What position do you usually sleep in? - Horizontalish. I find it more comfortable than verticalish.
- How big is your house? - Three bedroom. Flooded basement.
- What do you typically have for breakfast? - Chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese. Or a biscuit with vegetarian sausage gravy. Or if I'm feeling really adventurous, scrambled eggs.
- Have you ever fired a gun? - No.
- Have you ever tried archery? - Yes. Loved it. But now all I can think of is that Criminal Minds episode where people are hunting other people with bows and arrows. Thanks CBS, or whatever network CM is on.
- Favorite clean word - concupiscence
- Favorite swear word - fuckityfuckfuck
- What's the longest you've ever gone without sleep? - Going on about seven months now.
- Do you have any scars? - Many. A chicken pox scar on my head. A motorcycle burn on my ankle. Pizza burn on my leg (it's an annoying story that involves very, very hot pepperoni). Cat scratches and dog bites on my hands and arms. And so on.
- Have you ever had a secret admirer? - Yes. It was kind of creepy.
- Are you a good liar? - Shockingly.
- Are you a good judge of character? - I sure hope so, or my world is going to come crashing down fairly soon.
- Can you do any other accents other than your own? - Not well.
- Do you have a strong accent? - In a non-descript, US Midwestern but moved around a lot as a child way. So no.
- What is your favorite accent? - Just about anything from the UK I guess. As long as I can understand it. And even sometimes when I can't. Ah, the Welsh language.
- What is your personality type? - /introvert
- What is your most expensive piece of clothing? - I don't have the slightest clue. Probably the SO's suits, since I helped pick them out.

- Are you an innie or an outie? - I said I was an introvert already. Sheesh.
- Left or right handed? - Mostly left, except when I'm not.

- Most used phrased? - "Fair enough."
- Most used word? - See #37.
- How long does it take for you to get ready? - For what? I don't wear makeup, if that's what you're asking. But I like longish showers.
- Do you have much of an ego? - It needs flattering once in a while, so I guess yes.
- Do you suck or bite lollipops? - Bite.
- Do you talk to yourself? - Constantly. Usually in the grocery store.
- Do you sing to yourself? - I hum "Yellow Submarine" when everything is copacetic.
- Are you a good singer? - Oh, so NOT.
- Biggest Fear? - Random capitalization. And the ocean.

- Do you correct people when they make mistakes? - It depends entirely upon the circumstances and the people.
- Are you ticklish? - Yes.
- Have you ever started a rumor? - Er, probably? I don't know. I heard that @misbegotten writes fanfic. Freak.
- Have you ever been in a position of authority? - Yes. And I was a mean teacher who expected people to participate in class if they showed up. I was also brutal with the red pen.

- Have you ever done drugs? - Just look in my medicine cabinet.
- Who was your first real crush? - Chris Graham in second grade. I think. I may have had a crush on Oscar the Grouch before that. Those beautiful long eyelashes!

- Do you want a boy or a girl for a child? - Is this a baby shower? What is going on? I'm so confused!
- What are you strengths? - Proofreading, generally. "Your" strengths. Your. Also, giving people random gifts they don't want. I'm good at that.
- What are you weaknesses? - Smartassedness. Or as @Eilis more kindly put it, being sardonic.
- How did you get your name? - From my parents. Or do you mean @misbegotten? Got that one from the dictionary.
- Were your ancestors royalty? - I'm Queen of the Mole People.
- Do you have any scars? - You already asked that! How about, "do you have any bad habits?" Why yes, yes I do: an inability to take things seriously, a preponderance of dirty dishes, the inescapable urge to do not!memes, and I don't brush my teeth at night. Yuck.
- Color of your bedspread? - Currently purplish.
- Color of your room? - The one I'm in right now is sort of teal. I honestly can't remember what color the master bedroom in this house is. Brownish?
Whew! Way to kill the time before folding the laundry! Here, have a random picture that pleases me:





Yeah there are some interestingly worded questions in this and I had to resist changing all the spellings to UK ones eye twitch
And yay for lots of cats instead of kids - once we get our own place we'll definitely work on increasing the number of pets we have, just the one cat at the moment!
Those are very pretty fortune cookies!
It occurs to me that the picture probably is not licensed for personal use. Oh no, I'll get in trouble with the law! ;)
I don't have time to do this one. So SPOOON!
It took FOREVER.
I bet!
Have a Batgirl in the most sensible boots I've seen for a female superhero in a long time.
<3 <3 <3
TOO MANY FOR ME! I'm backing out of this one but it's cool.
I think the sweet spot is probably 10-20 prompts? More than that, it gets to be hard labor!
But did you learn anything about me that you didn't know already? That's the real question. :D
Yes, now I have all the information I need to ste-- borrow your identity. Just for Halloween.
You don't know my mother's maiden name.
Or do you...
You know, if you broke it down into 10-20 questions per day, you'd have that many more days of material for your comm... ;)
Based on this we would either get on very well or be too similar to stand each other in person :) However, here on imzy I do like you quite a lot. It seems to attract a lot of the kind of people I like to meet.
Heeeee! <3
What makes you nervous? - Scuba diving.
LOL. OMG, I swear I didn't see this answer when I answered the same for mine.
WTF, claustrophobia city!
The lead in was RIGHT THERE! How could we resist?
😊 😊 😊

I might fill this out when I have more time! (:
