Just Another Herd Creature

Then the rules are..
there are no rules.  I'm suppose to tag 8 people to answer this survey - if you're reading this and have not already filled it out, consider yourself tagged or not.
Enjoy


1. Where did your LJ handle come from?
stonebender  had an LJ account for quite a while.  I thought it would be fun to get on and leave him a flirty note and see if he figured it out.  I chose loracs because it's my first name backwards with an "s" at the end.  It took him a little while, but eventually one morning he said "you don't have an LJ account do you?"  Busted.

2. How do you style your hair?
wash, dry with an attempt at curling the ends under

3. What was the last text message you sent and to whom did you send it?
It's been quite a while, I have no idea, but it was probably to serenejournal .

4. What are you currently reading?
Milk, The Mayor of Castro Street by Randy Shilts

5. Do you need music to study/write/work?
If I'm doing really intense work, I like quiet, but with most thinks, I prefer some type of noise, usually the tv.

6. What is the last song on your play list?
Don't have a play list - don't have a player of any type and I don't use any of the on-line sites.

7. What is your biggest obsession?
the health of the people I love.

8. Do you have a crush at the moment?
Nope.

9. What is your favorite movie genre?
Depends on my mood, but I love action flicks and good comedy's i.e. - laughs come from good writing and acting, not just from slap stick type stuff.  No horror, thank you very much.

10. What was the last thing you ate today?
french fries

11. Name three people (living or dead, real or fictional) who helped shape who you are today.
my mom, stonebender , Ayn Rand

too many to name - but it's probably in the pasta field.

Spanish for work, Italian and Russian for fun (?)

15. What is your favorite drink?
Water and ice tea are probably close together in 1st place.

16. Do you have a birthmark?
yep.

17. Who was your childhood idol?
For childhood, I'd have to say my older sister.  I'm the youngest of three and the next closest in age was 7 years older.  That was enough time to really see her as cool  Shortly after she dyed her hair for the first time, I did the same thing. 

18. Where would you like your next holiday to be?
Somewhere with rain - maybe the Pacific Northwest US/Canada. 

19. What do you do to fall asleep?
Turn the tv to NIK and watch old 1/2 hour comedies.

20. Tell me something you love about the person who tagged you.
serenejournal  sets limits really well and also has the flexibility to move those limits (either direction) as needed.  I could also say she is very smart, very funny, very cute, has a very big heart and she is a wonderful writer, but then most of you on my f-list already know that about her.

New Year questions all over my friends list.

Buying a new vacuum cleaner and a new light for the office. The old vacuum has a broken wheel and there was no way to fix it, it drove me crazy trying to vacuum when every couple of minutes I had to try to stick it back on. The floor light next to my desk has been broken for a few months and I really, really missed it at night.

The rain makes me happy and unhappy tonight. Happy because I just love it, but unhappy because I didn't have a chance to waterproof the connections on the xmas lights and now they are all shorted out.

Most happy - that I took a vacation day today!

(technically it is after midnight, so I am into day 4, but who's counting - really Who is counting?)

Via clawfoot and a few other people..

For eight days, post something that made you happy that day.

Day One: Came home after a long day and just had to pop a casserole in the oven for dinner. This was courtesy of serenejournal. Soon the chicken broccoli in a cream sauce with cheese on top will be ready. Thank you serene!
