My husband. I was dating them both initially, and I finally had to choose. He had the advantage of being local (he had a bunch of other nice qualities too).

Poaching eggs for breakfast

Putting Mad Scientist to bed and unloading the dishes (I'm talented that way)

29. What's your excuse for this survey?

1. What ended your last relationship?
Hrmm... something between unresolvable jealousy and a screaming match.

2. When was the last time you shaved?
Oh god, it's been 3 or 4 years.

3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.?
Sleeping. Like a normal person.

4. What were you doing 5 minutes ago?
Standing around taking little tiny tags off of bracelets, and then putting them back on. Followed immediately by e-stalking my ex. (please see question 1)

5. Are you any good at math?
I can do it. I just hate the way the entire world seems to have decided to teach it with a firey passion.

6. Your prom night?
What prom?

7. Do you have any famous ancestors?
Rumor has it I'm related to Cary Grant.

8. Have you ever taken out a loan to pay for school?
Indeed. Several. Most of which are currently sitting in a high-interest savings account until it's time to start paying them off.

9. [question 9 has been redacted on the grounds that it's fucking stupid.]

10. Last thing received in the mail?
either acknowledgment of my submitted religion paper, or an invite to a play party.

11. How many different beverages have you drunk today?
Coffee, diet pepsi

12. Do you ever leave messages on people's answering machines?
Only if I had a concrete reason to call in the first place.

13. Who did you lose your CONCERT virginity to?
BB King, with Bobby Blue Bland opening. Biatch.

14. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?
Nope.

15. What's the most painful dental procedure you've had?
My dentist going "hey, what's that?" JAB.

16. What is out your back door?
The world's stupidest deck.

17. Any plans for Friday night?
Coding websites until my eyes cross. For the forseable future.

18. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
I don't like the ocean. An astrologer once told me that's not ironic, because pisceans with extra planets in pisces can't deal with directly interfacing with Really Grand Things. Whatever.

19. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different kinds of popcorn?
Nom, overpriced popcorn.

20. Have you ever been to a planetarium?
doesn't every kid do that in school?

Gettin Sweet Tarragon up and running, and making some dosh.

23. What is your favorite flavor of JELLO?
Pudding. I can't stand Jello.

Nerp.

25. Describe your keychain:
A beer bottle opener, aaaaanother beer bottle opener, betty book on a motorcycle, and 90 bajillion of those little supermarket scanner card thingies.

26. Where do you keep your change?
What change? Who uses cash anymore?

27. When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group of people?
Nolose 2005. I did some other things in front of that self-same large group, too.

28. Do you sleep with the door to your bedroom open or closed?
Open. The cat gets angry at me otherwise.

29. What's your excuse for this survey?
It's more fun than coding.
