It’s not me, by the way.
But one of my friends (Amber) has been going crazy with Facebook memes of late–keeping me well supplied for my Saturday meme posts–assuming I’ll ever get back to regularly posting!
This meme was completed in the wee hours of this morning and set to post later. So some of the information is already outdated. My apologies, but I really do have to [groan] work today and can’t be online filling out such things (Probably shouldn’t be doing it now, for that matter.)
What does your third text in your inbox say?
Ruth is *Insert Phone Number Here*
Are you online?
Dur.
What are you wearing right now?
Red sweater accidentally put on backwards after trying on clothing at the used store (Oops), Gray pin-striped slacks. Black crew style socks. Red and Gray and Black striped ankle socks over top black crew style socks.
What are you most looking forward to today?
My papa visiting me (giving me a reason to ONLY work the four to five hours I absolutely NEED to work tomorrow–I mean–today.)
Do you THINK you like anyone?
I was reminded even today (that is, yesterday) of how much I like my coworkers.
Have you ever been awake for 48 hours?
Is the sky blue? I’m one thesis away from a master’s degree. Of course I’ve been awake for 48 hours before.
What are you listening to?
The hum of my computer, the air from my heat pump, my fingers clacking on the keyboard.
Baseball or football?
Baseball
Favorite kind of blanket?
Odd question. Warm kinds. Preferably made by Grandma Cook. Although I am partial to my own quilts.
How do you feel about chocolate-covered strawberries?
Excited when I see them, delighted when I eat them, and disappointed when they’re gone.
Europe or the Caribbean?
Europe, hands down
Who is the sexiest person alive?
Me in my sexy jeans. (JK!)
Do you like the color gray?
I like to WEAR the color grey (note British spelling–I learned to spell grey from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and have the hardest time spelling it with an a)
Is there anyone you really can’t stop thinking about?
There’s someone I’d like to not stop thinking about–but unfortunately my mind is wandering and all too often becomes focused on anything but Christ.
Look outside, how’s the weather?
It’s cold. I can see the moon dancing as it reflects off the surface of the wind-rippled lake. The bare-branched trees are waving for attention. And I am glad to be inside next to my space heater.
Are you jealous of anyone right now?
Let me think–is there anyone who currently belongs to me and is being misappropriated to another?
Nope, I don’t think so.
I’m a stickler for using the words jealous and envious/covetous properly. The former and the latter are NOT synonymous.
Did you ever think someone didn’t like you, but came to find out they really did?
I tend to think that people like me. Sometimes I’m right, sometimes I’m wrong. With luck, I never find out if I’m wrong and thus never discover reason to think ill of said person.
Last time you ate grilled cheese?
Good question. It’s been much too long. It was maybe a month and a half ago? Debbie and Grace and Daniel and Timothy and I made Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup for lunch after church.
Name something great that happened today?
I breathed.
Do you regret something today?
That I spent so much time on the computer and so little time unpacking. (How am I ever going to get settled into this house at this rate?)
When you think of the rainbow, what pops in your head?
Homosexual activism.
How are you feeling?
Through sensory neurons which detect pressure, pain, and a variety of other sensory inputs.
Do you watch the Oscars?
I did the year Return of the King won all those awards. We had a residence hall party for the Oscars that year. Otherwise, I never have.
Favorite movie?
A&E Pride and Prejudice
Would you date someone 10 years older than you?
Possibly
What are you thinking about?
What am I thinking about? Mostly about the ridiculousness of these “would you date…” questions. How would I know whether I’d date someone 10 years older than me? That’s an awfully small (and relatively unimportant) piece of information to make such a decision based upon.
Have you lost contact with someone you wish you didn’t?
Yes, many people. One of my great regrets in life is that I have not actively worked to sustain relationships after situations change so that we are no longer “forced” into relationship. It’s something I’m working on.
Do you think you’re old?
The day I turned 13, I told myself I was an old woman. That way I’d never fear growing old, ’cause I already was.
So far, so good.
I might be old, but I’m not afraid of growing old :-)
Are you afraid of the dark?
No. I’m afraid of what might be lurking in the dark. (Which means that I try to avoid being outside in lesser lit areas late at night–and if I have to be in said areas at those times, I choose to be aware of my surroundings and have my keys stuck through my knuckles for ready self-defense.)
Do you have unlimited texting?
Yes
Do you wear glasses?
Yes
What are you looking forward to in the next month?
Being done teaching (and therefore done commuting)
I had grilled cheese and tomato soup yesterday :) mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhh
