12. Ooh a good way to avoid trying to work yay
1. What is something that you really like that most people you know dislike? Happy pop music.

2. Do you usually eat breakfast? Yes--it's essential for me to get my metabolism moving.

3. What's your favorite thing to do on a day off? I'm a SAHM and freelancer. I have no days off.

4. What's the most recent action you took to advance a cause that's important to you? I've been known to donate in DUers names if they need stars.

5. How many hours of TV do you watch in a typical week? Zero. Psych. No, I'm not a holier-than-thou non-TV watcher. I watch all my shows online because MG Jr. and Mr. MG bogart the TV for Nickelodeon shows (kid) and XBox (both of 'em). :evilgrin: Amount of TV varies depending on what the heck's in play or on hiatus--I can't stand these long winter breaks. I was raised on "new shows all fall, winter, and spring, reruns in summer."

6. What is one thing you participate in routinely even though you think it's wrong? Cheating on my diet.

7. Who is your craziest neighbor and why do you think he/she is crazy? I've posted fairly frequently about Crazy Nextdoor Dude who's fried his brain with too many illegal materials, and his kids who have no concept of physical boundaries and make our yard their yard. He doesn't have primary custody anymore though (somebody woke up), so we don't end up...er...interacting with him as much anymore. Thank the gods.

8. What's your favorite animal? Hawks.

9. What is your most unique talent? Hm. My best talents are writing and singing. Can't think of a unique one at the moment, though, except that I'm a bit psychic--but again, not unique.

10. Have you ever posted a random question thread? No. I'm a taker. :evilgrin:

20. Answers: 1. Canary diamonds. (Most people I know think they look dirty.)
Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 03:32 PM by BlueIris
I think they're pretty! I want one! (I've never been able to rationalize buying fine gemstones, but if I could, canary diamond all the way.)

2. I try to eat something solid, to help get my multivitamin to dissolve, but it's not usually an actual meal.

3. Read. Or watch old re-runs of bad spy dramas.

4. Updated the blog I started last year.

5. 4-6 hours.

6. Toss up between gasoline consumption and shopping at an overpriced, elitist natural health food store.

7. I don't really have neighbors (rural area.) But the craziest one we (sort of) know is the nutbar whose cat came to live with us a couple of years ago. We tried to return the cat to her (everyone in the "neighborhood" knew he belonged to her) but she wouldn't take him back on the grounds that he wasn't hers--she claimed she'd had him neutered, even though he was unneutered at the time he showed up in our backyard. We've since neutered him and he lives with us now.

8. American short haired housecat.

9. I have a freaky weird radar for picking up the health care problems of the wives of Democratic officials (no, seriously.)

10. No.

33. Yay! Questions!
1. What is something that you really like that most people you know dislike?
All of the more extreme sub-genres of Metal music. And by extreme, I mean anything past Thrash.

2. Do you usually eat breakfast?
No. I have a "quick turnaround" if you catch my meaning, and I take public transportation nearly every morning, including my days off from work. So...you know...

3. What's your favorite thing to do on a day off?
I like to get up early, jump on a bus, and go to a large shopping complex adjacent to a guitar center. I play. I eat. I shop, perchance to buy. I people-watch. I catch a movie.

4. What's the most recent action you took to advance a cause that's important to you?
Gave to various 'feed the homeless' programs this past holiday season. Didn't really 'advance the cause', so to speak, but I hope it helped someone not get dead.

5. How many hours of TV do you watch in a typical week?
About 7-14 hours, including watching TV shows online. Used to be a LOT more, and not that long ago, either.

6. What is one thing you participate in routinely even though you think it's wrong?
I jaywalk on this one part of Whittier Blvd at 5:30 in the morning dressed all in black.

7. Who is your craziest neighbor and why do you think he/she is crazy?
The more I think about it, the more it looks like I may be the crazy neighbor. Everyone else seems so...regular.

8. What's your favorite animal?
Human babies, followed closely by kittens.

9. What is your most unique talent?
It's not really unique, but it sure is rare on my street. I can tune a fucking guitar!!!!

10. Have you ever posted a random question thread?
I have not. But I answer all that I see.

52. Hmm, bands. Long list.
I'm 48. The people I know fall into roughly 3 basic groups, and they've stayed (stagnated?) there.

1. Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Rush, Trower, etc...
2. Sabbath, Priest, Scorpions, Maiden, etc...
3. Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, etc...

A couple three years ago I decided I needed new music, and BAM, I started listening to the following (alphabetical order, obviously, with my faves asterisked): Alabama Thunderpussy, Battle Of Mice**, Bloodhorse, Children Of Bodom, Cynic, Death**, Deathspell Omega**, Dekapitator, Dethklok**, Early Man, Electric Wizard**, Eternal Elysium, Exhorder, Fu Manchu, Gojira**, Hatebreed, High On Fire, If These Trees Could Talk**, Jesu**, Lamb Of God**, Lowrider**, Made Out Of Babies**, Mastodon**, Meshuggah**, Mouth Of The Architect, The Obsessed, Paths Of Possession, Pearls And Brass, Pelican**, Pentagram, Rigor Mortis**, Saint Vitus, Saviours, Sleep**, Spiritu, The Sword***, Torche, Village Of Dead Roads**, YOB**...and I'll listen to anything anybody's got. I spent a lot of years stagnating right along with my buddies, so what seems old to some people is brand new to me. In fact, I'd never heard of sludge, doom, or any of the other early Sabbath clone sub-genres til the last couple years. I didn't know death metal and black metal were two different things. And there's this cool layered atmospheric stuff called "post metal" that I'm digging immensely.

47. Another great answer to number 6.
I actually just went to get my license today. I'm 41 and I'm just getting my drivers license. However, my husband forgot to print out updated proof of insurance, so I have to wait 3 more weeks to take the test. That was a super fun way to spend the morning.

I really hate cars. But we've been in the suburbs for over 2 years now. We're going to end up being a 2 car family. It's sick but so hard to avoid.
