porter_inc | 50 Question Meme

From Ray

1. What curse word do you use the most?

Fuck. It's the most versatile, IMO.

2. Do you own an iPod?

Yes.

3. What person on your friends list did you talk to last?

Mah Boo.

4. What time is your alarm clock set to?

It isn't set. I just get up at 0730 unless I've stayed up really late the night before.

5. Do you want to fall in love?

Already done. Best thing that's ever happened to me.

6. Do you wear flip-flops when it's cold?

If I have to go outside for something quick (taking out the garbage, getting the paper, etc.), I'll slip them on if they're convenient, sure.

7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?

I'd rather take it.

8. What was the last movie you watched?

The Number 23

9. Do any of your friends have children?

Yes.

10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?

Dad used to call me that all the time.

11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?

Yes.

12. What CD is currently in your CD player?

Some Spanish instructional thing I forgot about until I just looked to answer this question.

13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?

Regular 1%.

14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?

Yes, and you won't believe what it is.

15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?

I can't remember...

16. Can you whistle?

Yes.

18. Do you think people talk about you behind your back?

I know they do.

19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?

Of course.

Chicago

21. Have you ever done the dirty in a field?

Yes.

23. Do you own any band t-shirts?

Yes.

24. What is your favorite salad dressing?

It's this red onion vinaigrette Elie recommended when I was in L.A.

25. Is anyone in love with you?

Yes. And I love him back.

26. Do you do your own dishes?

Yes.

27. Ever cry in public?

Yes.

28. Are you on a desktop computer or a lap top?

Right now, lap top. It's usually a desktop during the day.

29. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?

Part of me really wants to get a stereotypical "Mom" tattoo. But I probably won't. She always hated Dad's tats, so she might not appreciate it. I will get Baby's name tattooed on me when s/he's born, though.

30. What's the weather like?

Nipple-hardening cold.

31. Would you ever date anyone covered in tattoos?

Like one of those sideshow freaks? No way. Then again, if Orlando got a bug up his ass to cover himself in tattoos, it's not as if I'd leave him. I guess the answer's yes, but only if it's Orli. And I wouldn't be dating him. We'd be married already.

32. What did you do before this?

Checked my flist.

33. When was the last time you slept on the floor?

Does the ground count as the floor? If so, it would be the last time I went camping. If not, it would be when I was married to Talia.

34. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

Four or five. To function well, I need seven.

35. Do you eat breakfast daily?

Yes.

36. Are your days full and fast paced?

I get to spend my days with Orlando and the pets, doing what I want. My days are very full of laughter, love and contentment. They are not, however, fast paced. They're slow and easy and make me happier than I've ever been.

37. Do you pay attention to the calories on a package/box?

Yes.

38. Do you use sarcasm?

Yes. It may be the lowest form of wit, but it's pretty damn funny.

40. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?

Life's to short too worry about things like that. *giggles* I'm sorry. Couldn't resist.

(And it really bugs me that I just used 'to' and 'too' incorrectly... And it bugs me that there are people who won't know that. So, um, I guess I am when something's obviously wrong. Shit. I just realized that I corrected a typo in this meme and I've done that for other memes, too. *sigh* I don't want to be picky, but I guess I can't help it.)

41. Have you ever been to Six Flags?

Probably. I've blocked out most family trips to various amusement parks.

43. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite?

In what way? Romantically, same. Otherwise, I get along with both equally.

44. Do you like mustard?

Yes, but only grain.

45. Do you sleep on your side, stomach or back?

Side when I'm with Orli. Stomach when I'm alone.

46. Do you watch the news?

Yes.

47. How did you get one of your scars?

Smallpox vaccination.

48. Who was the last person to make you mad?

Kevin.

49. Do you like anybody?

No, I hate everyone. It's why I live in a shack in Montana and send anti-technology rants to the newspaper.

50. What is the last thing you purchased?

Cous cous.

ETA: Now, go here.

*teasing* So we're keeping score now?

And you turn my words against me. I concede the logic, noldo'o'

*laughs* You're so adorable.

And what does noldo'o' mean?

*smiles, blushing*
Noldo'o' means wise one

*giggles* That's something I should definitely be calling you a lot.

I am no more wise than any other and perhaps more foolish than I should be.

Mely'o', you've lived such a long life, and you know and have seen so much, you're one of the wisest people I know. Probably the wisest.

Better to say I have learned through much trial and error the pain of foolishness. ~~And yet I follow my heart rather than what I know to be the better path, the path that would leave me heartwhole and alone.~~

That's the only way any of us can learn the things that really count. But I bet you're not foolish anymore.

No matter the age of the body, melar, the heart can contrive to be foolish.

I was hoping I'd eventually grow out of that. But I guess the heart can never do what we want it to.

The heart will as it will, but only the body can contrive to act.

*teasing* Orli and I are very pleased with the way your body acts. And you already know we love your heart.

*smiling and blushing*
I find myself equally as pleased with my melar'a.

I hope we never stop making you blush. Just thought you should know that.

And you should know how much I enjoy you making me blush and making you blush in return, melar.

*laughs* It's a good thing we all look good in pink.

I believe my melar'a would look good in anything, but I will confess I prefer you both in nothing at all.

*smiles* I have a fondness for wearing nothing at all, so that works out pretty well.

*grins*
It is good we are in such perfect agreement.

You are so perfect, I could just sit and look at you all day. I feel the same way when I see Orli. One man shouldn't be lucky enough to be with two such studies in perfection.

Have care that you do not set me too high, mely'o'. For such heights can be intoxicating.

*smiles* I think Orlando worries when I say such things to him, as well. But... I don't know how else to say this, but I'm a very pragmatic man underneath all the silliness. I trust my perceptions and my feelings, and both of those tell me that you and Orlando are absolutely marvelous and, yes, perfect. There isn't anything I would ever choose to change about either of you.
