1. Do you make your bed?
Not currently because I feed the baby sitting on it and she naps on me there during the day and it is just not practical right now. But usually I love making my bed in the morning and for it all to look neat. I could make my bed from end of February to early June and it was pretty great. Looking forward to that again.
2. The first car that was officially yours?
I never owned a car. I do have my license but I almost never drive. I don't like to.
3. Three grocery items you don't run out of?
Bread, milk, tea
4. When did you start doing your own laundry?
In college. My Mom is possessive of her machine and she'd rather do everything 'correctly' herself. So first time I did anything other than hand wash was in college.
5. If you could, would you go to High School again?
No. College, why not, but high school is too teenagery.
6. Can you parallel park in under three moves?
I think 4 moves. My driving instructor taught me a full proof method which served me well when I had to parallel park a giant van during my driving test. But, as I said above, I don't really actually drive so while I can still theoretically do it, I haven't done it for real in 16 years.
7. A job you had which people would be shocked to know you had?
I don't think I had any shocking job. I was a camp conselor at a sleepaway camp when I was 19 and day camp at 20 and 21. Since then I've taught history and writing in college and now I have an office job. Nothing really shocking at all.
8. First TV?
My parents came to visit me after a first month in college. I made sure we went to the mall so I could get a very small TV for $100, which at the time was really, really tiny. But it was good enough to watch network shows. I really didn't like being without TV then.
9. Can you drive a stick shift?
No.
10. Favorite TV show?
I don't have just one favorite and there are too many. Star Trek:TNG, Star Trek: Voyager, Buffy, Doctor Who, Farscape, Rome, Community, Friends and there are many many more. I can't pick.
11. Would you rather be too hot or cold?
Too hot. I've been too cold (in Grand Canyon, it was super freezing when we went),really didn't like being that cold.
12. If the world ends do you want to be one of the survivors?
Probably not.
13. Sweet or Salty?
Sweet.
14. Do you enjoy soaking in a nice bath?
Once in a while. Mostly I prefer a nice hot shower.
15. Do you consider yourself strong?
Not particularly.
16. Something people do, physically, that drives you crazy?
Clip their nails.
17. Something you do, physically, that you are sure drives other people crazy?
Don't know. I'm sure there's something.
18. Do you have any birthmarks?
No.
19. Favorite card game?
Durak or fool, a Russian card game. Also Uno.
20. Do you talk to yourself?
Yes. All the time. Most of the time I come up with a story and talk it out to myself as different characters.
21. Do you like doing jig-saw puzzles?
Sometimes. I got this world map one for my birthday once, that one was fun to do.
22. Would you go on a reality show?
Most likely not unless it was one of the nice ones like the Baking Show or something. Or travel show. But probably not.
23. Tea or coffee?
Tea.
24. First thing you remember wanting to be when you grew up?
A teacher. I always wanted to be a teacher. I don't think I wanted to be anything else. As I grew up, level of teaching went up to, from kid's teacher to college professor. And I got to do it for some years too. Big part of me is sad to let that go.
25. No matter how much money you have or don't have, what are you an absolute snob about?
Tea. I want nice tea from Teavana.
