A to Z meme
Bookworm on Apr 17 2006 at 9:10 am | Filed under: Silly Stuff
It's been a long time since I've done a meme, but this looks like a fun one. I've been tagged by Gail, at Crossing the Rubicon, for the following A to Z meme:
Accent:
Peculiarly my own. Western, with a tinge of European parents.
Booze:
Chocolate milkshake.
Chore I Hate:
All of 'em. My chief dislike would probably be unpacking after a long trip, with folding laundry a close second.
Dogs/Cats:
Woof, woof, woof.
Essential Electronics:
My computer and my TiVo.
Favorite Perfume/Cologne:
Lily of the Valley/Hawaiian White Ginger mix of my own
Gold & Silver:
Huh? Jewelry's cold and bangs around and snags on things. Who needs it?
Hometown:
I'll give you a hint. This Tuesday is the 100th anniversary of a famous event in my home town.
Insomnia:
I have a vague memory of sleeping through the night in the time before children came along….
Job Title:
Ma'am, yes, Ma'am. (I only wish. I think my job title is really "Mommmmyyyyy.")
Kids:
2
Living Arrangements:
Quintessential middle class suburban home, complete with family wrapped around me.
Most Admired Trait:
Kindness, with intelligence trailing closely.
Number of Sexual Partners:
Now that's a bit personal, isn't it?
Overnight Hospital Stays:
Too many.
Phobia:
Short list or long? Here's the short list: snakes, spiders, flying, drowning.
Quote:
"Don't sweat the small stuff." (At least, that's my quote for today.)
Religion:
Loosey, goosey, ill-informed, non-religious Judaism.
Siblings:
Yes.
Time I Usually Wake Up:
6:00
Unusual Talent:
I read faster than anyone I know. And, surprisingly, I'm fairly good at darts.
Vegetable I Refuse To Eat:
Brussell sprouts. Blech.
Worst Habit:
Nervous chatter.
X-Rays:
Is there something you're not telling me here?
Yummy Foods I Make:
Hot & sour soup, chocolate pudding and cinnamon rolls. My culinary skills leave much to be desired.
Zodiac Sign:
Cancer
Well, that was fun. So much fun, in fact, that I'd be selfish if I just spread it to two or three people. If you're reading this post, consider yourself tagged — and be sure to let me know what your answers are.

I completely forgot about TIVO on my electronics list. Once you’ve gotten used to being able to pause shows anytime you like, it’s extremely hard to do without it. I enjoyed reading your responses, Bookworm.
The booze was funny, since i mostly drink a similar thing.
Mind if I join in?
Accent:
Western Pennsylvania, hills of West Virginia & Williamsburg, VA. Once described by a teacher as a “stump-jumpin’ Pennsylvania hillbilly” & that probably describes my accent, too.
Booze:
Bacardi & coke
Chore I Hate:
Yes! And I’ve gotten very good at not doing them.
Dogs/Cats:
I love other people’s but wouldn’t have one of my own
Essential Electronics:
Three computers, TV in every room & TiVo.
Favorite Perfume/Cologne:
Who? Me?
Gold & Silver:
Have soared along with oil. Wish I had invested in some.
Hometown:
Lovely bedroom community, too big to be a suburb & too small to be a metropolitian area of its own.
Insomnia:
Sometimes.
Job Title:
Associate attorney (but no mention of whom I’m supposed to associate with)
Kids:
2
Living Arrangements:
With the best wife in the world & an excellent son.
Most Admired Trait:
Mine is objectivity. In others, honesty & a sense of humor.
Number of Sexual Partners:
A gentleman never tells.
Overnight Hospital Stays:
More than I want to remember, but I’d be dead without them, so I really can’t complain.
Phobia:
Heights!
Quote:
From my old law school professor: “If you don’t have a good case, at least tell a good story.”
Religion:
Non-believer, much as I wish I did.
Siblings:
Half-brother, step-sister. At one time or another, I’ve been an only, the youngest, the oldest and the middle child.
Time I Usually Wake Up:
5:22
Unusual Talent:
On-line computer games (unusual only because I should be too old for such things)
Vegetable I Refuse To Eat:
Yes. Well, except for corn. And a few others if you twist my arm.
Worst Habit:
Eating too much, exercising too little.
X-Rays:
Yes, I have had my head examined. And just about every other part of me, too.
Yummy Foods I Make:
I make a mean lasagna & a pretty good pizza.
Zodiac Sign:
Libra, and even though I don’t believe in that stuff, I fit the Libra stereotype to a T.
That’s definitely you, DQ!
Well, no wonder I like you people…
Very entertaining — & kind of you to share all that stuff!
