1. What is your occupation? Gal Friday and freelance journalist, with a smattering of author thrown in.
2. What color are your socks right now? White. Actually, except for some dress socks and my two pairs of wool hiking socks, all my socks are white. And they all live in the communal sock basket, because it so happens Kevin and I wear the same size.
3. What are you listening to right now? Right now, nothing. "When We Dance" by Sting just ended on my playlist.
4. What was the last thing that you ate? Fish sticks and tater tots
5. Can you drive a stick shift? Nope.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? I like this question, even if I'm not sure how to answer it. Probably some shade of green.
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone? On the work phone, that'd be someone calling to solicit a donation for the local police department. On my cell phone,
destinedtofly.
8. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Surely.
9. How old are you today? 31 years and 5 months, exactly.
10. Favorite drink? Well, the thing I drink most is probably Coke.
11. What is your favorite sport to watch? Quidditch, although if you're forcing me to be a Muggle I'd say figure skating.
12. Have you ever dyed your hair? A few times, but not since before I got married.
13. Pets? Two cats, a few semi-tame squirrels, and a Kevin.
14. Favorite food? Ice cream.
