I'm not one to re-post memes. In fact, I rarely answer them. But this seemed like a nice get-to-know-you thing that
hatman posted, so I thought I'd post it too.
Comment & fill it out if you want, or pass if you don't want. re-post in your own journal if you want, or pass if you don't want. :)
I want to know things about you. Be honest, answer any or all of the questions, whichever strikes your fancy. Copy from here (Cursor in the text box, CTRL-A, CTRL-C), paste into a new comment.
And for those that are curious, my answers are behind the cut.
1) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
A. Yes! Happily married to my husband of almost 2 years.
2) What was your dream growing up?
A. To simply grow up so I would stop being teased/harassed/tormented. As a teenager I wanted to be a special eduction teacher, but a summer of doing similar work at a day camp for special needs children made me realize I needed to think about doing something else as a career. Falling in love with an accounting class (with an awful teacher) gave me my current career path!
3) What talent do you wish you had?
A. Physical grace and social skills.
4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
A. A diet soda of some kind, I rarely drink alcohol, but I will very rarely have Riesling or Chardonnay wine when my hubby & I are having a nice dinner out.
5) Favorite vegetable?
A. Broccoli probably.
6) What was the last book you read?
A. Currently in the middle of re-reading Mercedes Lackey's The Outstretched Shadow for the nth time.
7) What zodiac sign are you?
A. Officially Leo, but the predictions never seem to fit.
8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
A. Only piercings are my ears, and nothing fancy, just a single hole in each ear.
9) Worst Habit?
A.The wonderful ADHD issues of procrastination and not finishing things I start.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
A. Only if I knew what you looked like, and had met you in person before (I'm a paranoid chicken-shit when it comes to people I only know online).
11) What is your favorite sport?
A. Sport? Does walking or (very casual day) hiking count?
12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
A. Optimistic, definitely!! :D
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
A. Sit down and chat and hope one of us had food & water!
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
A.Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD and overactive bladder. The latter was actually much worse for me than the former, as far as the impact on how I was treated early in life (I *hated* my peers in elementary school).
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
A. Weird? I dunno. I'm fairly average/normal, I think!

A. Light brown / hazel.
23) Ever been arrested?
A. Nope.

A. Go on a Mediterranean cruise with my hubby!
27) What's your favorite place to hang at?
A.Just at home... I'm a homebody! :)

ETA: OMG?! Did I finally get this damn thing to post correctly?! Me & the DW Rich Text Editor have issues. It seems to be either full HTML, which I don't know and is confusing to view/read or I have to 100% use the built-in rich text editor tools, and things like <b> and </b> don't make things bold... they just put arrows and slashes into my paragraph!!
If *anyone* knows why this is happening or if/how/when it's going to be fixed PLEASE let me know!!! Until then I think I'll just stick with my trusty Semagic!
