Whew! It has been a hectic week...probably the first of many to follow, given my jury trial schedule for the next couple of months. The bright spot of the week was having coffee (er...make that multiple coffees) with the Russian princess today. She's as lovely in person as I would have guessed and we probably would have sat there well into the night gabbing if I hadn't been on a schedule. The transition from LJ "friends" to two gals sharing the day together was really wonderful. I'm already looking forward to tales of Czech adventures. This is definitely something we should make a habit of. : )
Life would not be complete without completing a Razorart quiz. ; )
1. What is the name you *wished* you were born with?
When I was younger, I wanted a really glamorous name like Hedi, or Lana...once I grew up, I realized that my own name actually suited me better.
2. What feature of the opposite sex do you hate the most?
Hmmm....this certainly doesn't apply to all men equally, but that whole sports mania thing can be really annoying.
3. What feature of *your* sex do you hate the most?
The way we can be such catty bitches to one another.
4. Give me your list of annoying occurrences:
Top five: 5)dirty restrooms; 4)petty office politics; 3)taking out the garbage; 2)that grating "Cleo the Tarot Card Reader" commercial that comes on every two minutes late at night; 1)junk mail
5. Who do you hate the most out of everyone you know/ever knew and why?
I wouldn't really say I hate anyone, but the person who has disgusted me the most that I actually know: a 19-year-old heroin junkie who was a consummate user even before she began to shoot dope, who stole from my kids, who can't seem to grasp the concept of birth control, and who is no longer anyone I give two shits about.
6. Which celebrity deserves to be boiled in oil?
That's a tie between Charleton Heston and Rosie O'Donnell.
7. Do you have a voodoo doll?
I do. It's stuck to my file cabinet at work with a magnet.
8. Have you ever harbored murderous thoughts? Why?
There are a couple of people I could easily take out and gut shoot if it weren't going to cause me so many problems. I figure it's easier to let karma gnaw away at them.
9. What is the best song to strip to?
Sad to say...but my stripping days are over...and they've been over for so long, I can't even remember any good strip songs. Grrrrrrr.
10. Have you ever dabbled in witchcraft?
Nope. I don't "dabble" in it.
11. How many one-night stands have you had?
Enough to count on one hand.
12. Have you ever had an abortion?
Yep.
13. Who do you hate most of all on Live Journal?
Haven't run across anyone who even annoys me yet.
14. Who could you see yourself having sex with on Live Journal?
I imagine he knows who he is.
15. What is your dream job?
I have it...except a hiatus every summer to concentrate on my writing would be nice.
16. Have you ever been issued a summons/sued/arrested/been in jail?
Never.
17. Are you a sadist or a masochist? Give some examples.
I'm neither.
18. What religion were you brought up to be? Do you still practice it?
Wasn't brought up to be anything. Now I'm what you'd consider a bit of everything.
19. Do you like to give or receive hugs?
Both, and often.
20. Do you rejoice in any bodily functions?
Never gave that much thought. It's always nice when everything works like it should...other than that I don't pay much attention.
