I felt like a meme

Plus, all the Syracuse folks don’t know much about me. And it was fun to read Madeline’s.

What time did you get up this morning? 4:56
Diamonds or pearls? Lots of tiny diamonds, probably. Although I’d be likely to lose them, like I have every other nice piece of jewelery I’ve ever received.
What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
What is your favorite TV show? I don’t really watch current TV anymore, but when I did was a typical Friends and Seinfeld person. Right now I’m all about Green Acres.

What did you have for breakfast? Cereal with soy milk.
What is your middle name? Anne
Favorite cuisine? Spanish or Italian.
What foods do you dislike? Beets and turnips.
What is your favorite flavor? Candy? Sour. Beverage? Constant Comment. Dessert? Dark chocolate.
What is your favorite CD at the moment? Two: You Are Free by Cat Power and Concrete Blonde’s Bloodletting. Plus Annie Lennox’s cover of Bob Marley’s Waiting in Vain, which iTunes claims I have listened to 29 times lately.
What kind of car do you drive? 99 Kia Sportage.
Favorite sandwich? Turkey, avocado and hummus on dark bread. Or, once each year in July, the perfect bacon and tomato sandwich on wheat.
What characteristic do you despise? Lack of follow-through.
Favorite item of clothing? Jammies.
If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? Dublin. Or back to Scotland and on to the Hebrides, which I missed the first time around.
What color is your bathroom? Blue and white.
Favorite brand of clothing? Cheap and comfy.
Where would you retire to? A farmhouse someplace snowy. Something like the house Susan Sarandon died in in Stepmom. Not that I actually want to deal with a large chunk of land, or be away from the city.
Favorite time of the day? Afternoons. Best time for everything. I used to work with an old veterinarian who, everyday at lunchtime, would sigh and say, �This is my favorite part of the day.� And that’s probably my second-favorite time of the day. I love lunch, and if I lived alone I probably wouldn’t eat dinner at all.
What was your most memorable birthday? I refuse to answer this one.
Where were you born? Little Rock, Arkansas.
Favorite sport to watch? I don’t watch sports. If I was going to start, though, I’d probably pick hockey.
What laundry detergent do you buy? All Free.
When is your birthday? March 7, 1976
Are you a morning person or a night person? I was a night person for most of my life, but it seems to have flip-flopped lately.
What is your shoe size? 8-ish.
Do you have any pets? For the first time in my life, no. And I’m very unhappy about it.
Any new and exciting news you'd like to share with your family & friends? Not at the moment. The career thing seems to be going pretty well, but how I feel about that changes day to day.
What did you want to be when you were little? A writer.
What are you doing today? Writing.
If there was one thing you could do right now, $ is no object, what would you do? Travel the world, buying books and art at will.
If you only had a few days left on earth, what would you do? Get all my loved ones together and have a long, really relaxed party.
