ABC meme

[lobelia321]

A - Act your age?

Yes. My age being 40. And my philosophy being that whatever age I act will inevitably be my own age. If others think, that this is more like '15' than '40', I will have to point out that they need to revise their preconceptions of '15' vs '40'. Ditto if they think it's more like '75' (they never do, *snort*).

B - Born on what day of the week?

Er. I could look it up on one of those eternal calendar web thingies but I can't be bothered.

C - Chore you hate?

Every single one of them. Ironing is top of list: I own one ironable item, and that's it. I have a psycho-thing about housework. It has to do with my mother.

D - Dad's name?

Rainer.

E - Essential makeup item?

Er. None. I wear MacLine lipstick and lipliner now and again, if I wish to impress t'folk at t'reference library.

F - Favorite actor?

Hm. This means man, right? I think I'll have to say Cary Grant. For woman it's Marilyn Monroe or Bette Davis in 'All About Eve'. (Am I acting the age of '75' now?)

G - Gold or silver?

Gold.

H - Hometown?

None. I've lived all over the place. This has its advantages and its drawbacks. The town I love most is Sydney, Australia. Second-most: Berlin, Germany. Bits of my heart still lie around in those cities.

I - Instruments you play?

Um. Computer keyboard?

J - Job title?

Lecturer.

K - Kids?

Two.

L - Living arrangements?

Mortgage, re-mortgage, the whole bourgeois shebang.

M - Mom's name?

Christa.

N - Number of people you've slept with?

4. And that's a sad if true fact. That makes one per decade. *falls off chair in dismay* I must brush up on my adulterous strategies but am hopelessly hopeless at that sort of thing. Heh, but as Dom says in ukcalico's 'Subversion', quantity with one person can have similar effect to quantity with lots of persons, *g*.

O - Overnight hospital stays?

One. When my little son was ill.

P - Phobia?

My mother.

Q - Quotes you like?

Fuck, I love him (said in strine by an acquaintance of my brother-in-law's) Those men -- who are they? (from Skippy) There must be more serious fare but it escapes me at the mo.

Cultural Protestant. Unbaptised.

S - Siblings?

Two.

T - Time you wake up?

7.10. (a.m.).

U - Unique habit?

I have no idea whether any habits of mine are unique as the world contains billions of people and I haven't had a chance to ask them all yet. I know. Am facetious pedant.

V - Vegetable you refuse to eat?

Not so fond of asparagus but will eat if forced.

W - Worst habit?

Shirking.

X - X-rays you've had?
