That ABC meme
Jan. 27th, 2006 12:48 pmA - Accent: I think I created my own accent when I was little and reading a lot of English lit. People were always commenting on it. A boyfriend once said, "That's not the sort of accent you expect from a girl from Elmwood Park." So I'd probably place it as Pretentious, like Madonna's fake British accent after she discovered Kabbalah.
B - Breakfast Item: My favorite on the menu lately is Eggs Benedict, no ham please, with hash browns and fruit. Although last time I ordered it at a greasy spoon diner, it was covered in a thick and very lemony hollandaise sauce. But when ordered from a clean spoon diner, it's pretty tasty and not as painfully filling as a whole omelet.
C - Chore you hate: Cleaning my room. My room is where everything in the rest of the apt gets tossed when we're expecting people to come over. I neglect it till I can't anymore, and then it's a whole days worth of work.
D - Dad's Name: Phil.
E - Essential everyday item: Book, check. Journal, check. Lipstick, check.
F - Flavor ice cream: Haven't had much ice cream since it was warm out. I'm a fan of chocolatey with things like fudge or cookie dough bits mixed in. Thank goodness for this fast metabolism!
G - Gold or Silver: silversilversilver!
H - Hometown: Elmwood Park. I liked it well enough when I lived there, but I don't really miss it.
I - Insomnia: When I have a lot on my mind.
J - Job Title: Esthetician. I alone hold the Secrets of Skincare.
K - Kids: No thanks. Honestly, Shawn and I are just happy enough being with each other, I don't think either of us wants a small being taking away our attention from each other. Unless it's a cat, of course.
L - Living arrangements: Our Lincoln Square flat, which most of you are well familiar with. It's been home for about five years now. We're in the very beginning stages of thinking about buying a place of our own, but when we do, we'll be sad to leave.
M - Mom's birthplace: Melrose Park.
N - Number of pets you have: Two cats, Puck and Bowie. Puck is the terror, who will rub up against you and then slap you if you try to pet him. (Unless you're me, and then he can't get enough of the pets.) Bowie pretends to hate all attention, but then he'll meow pitifully for you to come over and give him scritchies.
O - Overnight hospital stays: None.
P - Phobias: I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I can't handle spiders. To me they look like little decapitated hands running around.
Q - Queer: Eye? Is that show still even on?
R - Religious Affiliation: I think religion is a roadblock to spirituality. If anything I consider myself pagan, but that's still my own personal thing, and I'm not going to participate in Solstice Potlucks or Energy Building Ceremonies with the local Chicago Pagan chapter. Though solstice potlucks with all of you sounds pretty fun.
T - Time you wake up: It fluctuates, but ideally I'd sleep till ten every single day.
U - Unnatural hair colors you've worn: Various shades of red and pink when I was younger, then I finally went blue-black and realized that was my true love.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: Cauliflower. I just don't get it. It's completely tasteless and has a weird crunchy texture that I can't deal with.
W - Worst habit: Putting things off and being lazy. Like doing this meme when I should be in the shower and starting my day.
X - X-rays you've had: Teeth and chest.
Y - Yummy: The spinach, tomato and onion pizza I had at Bad Dog last night.
Z - Zodiac sign: I was joking recently how you know someone is into astrology when you ask them their sign and they rattle off about three. So I'm a Virgo on the cusp of Leo with the moon in Scorpio.
