greendalek:
What's on your bedside table?
A funky lamp from Ikea with an inverted paper shade, a bottle of Burt's Bees Milk & Honey lotion, a copy of Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, a fuzzy bunny fromwolfy, a blue stuffed dragon I got at the MD Renaissance Festival last year, a stuffed penguin, a teddy bear dressed up as a black cat, and a bottle of Tums
What is the geekiest part of your music collection?
I suppose either the tape that accompanied my copy of "Atalanta Fugiens" or "The Best of Tim Curry" (although the latter might just be horrifying rather than geeky)
What do you eat when you raid the fridge late at night?
I don't tend to do the midnight food run much, but when I do it's usually something like crackers and cheese.
What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
I cried during "My First Mister", but I don't know that it's really a secret. I also got weepy during "Lilo & Stitch".
If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?
I wouldn't, but I'd have a fair amount of dental work done.
Do you have a completely irrational fear?
I developed a serious fear of flying a few years ago for no apparent reason, after having been flying my entire life (my dad worked for an airline). It's starting to fade again, but there was no obvious reason that it appeared in the first place.
What is the little physical habit that gives away an insecure moment?
Chewing on my hair or twisting it around my fingers incessantly.
Do you ever have to beg?
For...?
Are you a pyromaniac?
<beavis>fire is KEWL!</beavis>
Do you have too many love interests?
I prefer to think of it as "not enough time" rather than "too many love interests".
Do you know anyone famous?
For some values of "famous", yes.
Describe your bed.
Double bed with lots of pillows and a firm mattress, pine bed frame from Ikea, fluffy comforter, often accessorized with a cat. Not quite big enough for two people who like to sprawl out when they sleep.
Who should play you in a movie about your life?
Janeane Garafolo. Hey, a girl can dream...
Do you know how to play poker?
Not at all.
What do you carry with you at all times?
My inhaler.
How do you drive?
Generally fairly cautiously, but not cautiously enough to get me killed on 66 or the Beltway.
What do you miss most about being little?
Being able to go over and ask my friends to come out and play on the spur of the moment.
Are you happy with your given name?
Yes, although no one really ever calls me Catherine.
What was the last song you were listening to?
"Kylä Vuotti Uutta Kuuta" by Värttinä
How much money would it take to get you to give up the Internet for one year?
Urf. Well for starters my salary (no internet, no job), and then enough to keep me in plane tickets and phone calls to all my friends. Let's round it way up to <Dr. Evil>one MILLION dollars! Muahahaha!</Dr. Evil>
What color is your bedroom?
White and beige. We rent. :-P
Have you ever been in a play?
Yes, decades ago.
Have you ever been in love?
Oh yes.
Do you talk a lot?
I think so, especially when I'm nervous.
Do you like yourself and believe in yourself?
Depends on what day you ask me.
Do you think you're cute?
I'm starting to, sometimes.
Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
Usually, although I have my moments of doubt.
