My answers to [livejournal.com profile] bonniers's five questions behind the cut:

my answers )

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

No.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?

Probably a couple of nights ago. Tired, sick, pregnant, and cranky don't lend themselves to a Panglossian attitude.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING

Most of the time. When I'm actually making an effort, as opposed to just scrawling a list.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?

Tie between pastrami and salami.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

Yes.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?

Umm . . . I don't know. I usually wait for the other person to make the first move, which is really awkward if you're both doing it.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?

Me? Never! :P

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?

Nope. They came out when I was 17.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?

Probably not.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?

Er? People have favorites?

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?

How else are they going to come off?

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?

I make do with stubborn.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?

Depends on my whim of the moment.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?

I suppose I notice their clothes--after all, you can see those a lot farther away than little details--but what I look for is a smile and eye contact.

15. RED OR PINK?

For what? I want my cotton candy pink, my strawberries red. (My roses can be either. Or red-and-white. Or yellow-and-orange. Or . . . ) And my lingerie black.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?

I suppose that I lack patience--though I don't dislike it enough to do anything about it. Er, I'm also just a touch opinionated, but that's not going to change, either.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?

My dad. I keep thinking of things I'd like to tell him.

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO LINK THIS BACK TO YOU?

If they want.

Black maternity capris, white sneakers.

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

The repeating "boop" of the chat window.

22. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?

Brown, some silver creeping in.

Hazel.

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?

Occasionally. It depends on things like allergies and humidity and whether I'm going to need my sunglasses and how much time I want to take getting ready in the morning. Right now, they're not fitting so well--pregnancy changes the shape of all sorts of body parts.

30. FAVORITE FOOD(S)?

Chocolate. Lobster. Fresh fruit. Fresh-baked bread. Flank steak with onions and mushrooms. Pecan pie.

I don't know; my mind's blanking.

Purple.

Summer, if I can skip the humidity. But spring and fall are even better.

Moscow.
