Monday Morning Meme

Since my brain has officially taken the week off due to it being, y’know, Spring break and all…here’s a meme I stole from Facebook or MySpace or someone else’s blog. I don’t know. Don’t ask me anything. I’m struggling to recall my own name at  the moment…

1. What time did you get up this morning? 4:45ish. I overslept. I’d boo, except that oversleeping is a nice treat when you get up at 4am every day…
2. Diamonds or pearls? I grew up with the unfortunate trauma of having diamond as my birthstone, which means I own a lot of cubic zirconium jewelry. There’s just something rather nice about pearls that seems ten times classier than “diamonds”. But nobody ever gives me pearls. HEY, THAT WAS NOT A DIRTY JOKE, YOU.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Avatar 3D. Despite everyone either jerking it off or slamming it, I mildly enjoyed the film overall. Still wish James Cameron would fall under a bus though.
4. What is your favorite TV show? Toss up between M*A*S*H and Twin Peaks
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Coffee, sometimes oatmeal. I always harp on people that breakfast should be a substantial, hearty affair to get the day going right, but I rarely practice what I preach. Sorry.
6. What is your middle name? Yvonne, same as my mother. I have no idea where it came from…I’ve never taken the time to ask my grandmother WTF she was thinking. I can’t find a single instance of Yvonne anywhere else in the family tree. And having said middle name means I got to spend most of my youth correcting peoples’ pronunciation of it. “No…eeeeee….EEEEEE-VON….Not YEH. It’s not YEH-VON. MORONS.”
7. What food do you dislike? Tomatoes. Raw ones mainly, but I’m also not prone to eating stewed or cooked tomatoes. Any other form…crushed, ketchuped, sauced, pasted, sun-dried…I’m good with. Don’t ask me why. I have no clue.
8. What is your favorite CD at the moment? Not really sure. I’ve not been listening to complete albums recently. I’m slacking.
9. What kind of car do you drive? 2010 Honda Civic sedan. Huzzah?
10. What is your favorite sandwich? Tuna. Hands down. And I make an awesome tuna sandwich.
11. What characteristics do you despise? Dishonesty, regardless of the reason why. Narcissism. Lack of accountability for one’s own actions. Apathy of any kind. An inability to listen to opposing viewpoints.
12. Boston or New York? I apologize, I mistakenly gave you the impression that I give a shit about either of those cities. My bad.
13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be? Tie between Alaska, Italy, and England
14. Favorite brand of clothing? I don’t know that I have one. Though I am particularly fond of Cacique undergarments…
15. Where would you retire to? Northern California coast
16. What was your most recent memorable birthday? All of my birthdays are memorable in their own right. The most recent one that really pops out in my head though was my birthday in 2008. That was the day my old boss yelled at me, told me my job had been eliminated, and made me cry. I love being made to cry on my birthday. Always makes me feel so fucking special.
17. What is your favorite sport to watch? Golf. I KNOW. I’m weird.
18. When is your birthday? April

22. Any new and exciting news you’d like to share? I’m still alive and not pregnant, Republican, or addicted to illegal substances. I consider that a win in my book.
23. What did you want to be when you were little? A fire truck. (No, seriously. Age 4. Ask my mom, she’ll corroborate)

30. What is the last thing you ate? A piece of garlic bread.
31. Do you have a secret crush on someone? Well, it’s only a secret if you’re The Roommate, cuz he’s the only person I can’t tell about The Boyfriend. Srsly y’all, living with your ex is the worst idea in the world. WORST.
32. If you were a crayon what color would you be? Magenta

53. FEMALE: Thong or panty? I don’t even care anymore. I’ll go commando if it’s comfy enough.
