Sometimes it amazes me…
…how much my little sis and I have in common. I’m ripping off this meme just for amusement. The red italic answers were Fraccy’s, but I didn’t need to change them. I’m older, therefore she’s the copy-cat. lol.
Incidentally, Fraccy saw it at John’s, who got it from Dar… and 70steen had already jumped in… 
1. What is your occupation?
Marketing, seo and web development.
2. What color are your socks right now?
Socks?
3. What are you listening to right now?
Not a thing.
4. What was the last thing that you ate?
A chocolate cookie. They’re gone now. *sigh*
5. Can you drive a stick shift?
Once upon a time, yes. Today? Okay.. no.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Green. (Forest green for me, which is deeper/darker than Fraccy green)
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone?
My niece.
8. Do you like the person who sent this to you?
No one sent it… I just took the damn thing.
9. Favorite drink?
Coffee (note; which also would have been her answer if she didn’t lie! lol)
10. What is your favorite sport to watch?
None.
11. Have you ever dyed your hair?
Are there really females who haven’t? (see note in #9)
12. Pets?
One cat.
13. Favorite food?
Lobster. I was kidnapped at birth and condemned to live in meat country, a situation I find unbearable at times.

The Brave One with Jodie Foster.
15. Favorite Day of the year?
Depends on the year, and I won’t know until that day happens.
16. What do you do to vent anger?
I swear. (see note in #9)
17. Your favorite toy as a child?
Books. Didn’t even own a doll of my own as a kid, though my sisters had lots.
18. What is your favorite, fall or spring?
Spring
19. Hugs or kisses?
Okay, then hugs. Ick. Who wants kisses unless they’re those kind of kisses? Geez, what a dumb question.
20. What kind of pie?
Real, properly prepared Saskatoon Berry, or Rhubarb as a second choice since most people have no idea what a Saskatoon Berry pie tastes like.
21. Do you want your friends to email you back?
From this post? Heck no, post a comment.
22. Who is most likely to respond?
probably one of those Brits…. in my case, since it’s not the wee hours - probably 70s or Fraccy.
23. Who is least likely to respond?
yeah, him. He doesn’t like me, he never comments here.
24. Living arrangements?
Yes, I’d like to continue doing so. The alternative kind of sucks.
25. When was the last time you cried?
A couple of days ago? I forget. That’s a good thing.
26. What is on the floor of your closet?
Err… a box of soap supplies that I haven’t unpacked and put in the cupboards yet.
27. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending this to?
I don’t forward anything like this via email. I never have. I’m too old to change my ways.
28. The friend you have known the shortest amount of time that you are sending this to?
Ok, I guess I’m old but you’re hard of hearing. Sorry. I said… I don’t forward anything like this via email. I never have. I’m too old to change my ways.
29. Favorite smell?
Lilacs
30. What inspires you?
The sounds of nature - like water lapping on the rocks, a waterfall, the sound of thunder, or the sounds walking through the forest. Or maybe they just ground me, and that’s inspiring. Not the kind of grounding mothers do, the kind of grounding nature does.
31. What are you afraid of?
Not much. It’s a waste of time and emotions.
32. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers?
I don’t really like hamburgers. If I have to eat one, I’d prefer it was… extra lean with cracked peppercorns, mustard and aged cheese.
33. Favorite car?
One that works and isn’t a stick shift. Preferably not a box on wheels.
34. Favorite cat breed?

Which one?

Now you get to be right on #22.
Here’s that thing I don’t get. I didn’t have “lots” of dolls, I remember only having a couple of Barbies… but they weren’t new when I got them. I remember that time those gifts in the library cupboard were returned, and being really mad about it because the one that was supposed to be for me was obviously a *new* Barbie. So if they weren’t your hand-me-downs, where did the Barbies I played with come from?
Me and books were also friends. I was looking through an old box and found my summer reading certificate from the library you and I would walk down to. I can even remember the librarian and her name. I won’t post it in case she’s one of those internet savvy old ladies and googles her name.
But… I knew *you’d* know which ones were lies.
lol. I’m thinking the dolls probably all belonged to the sis between me and AussieBabe. The Negro doll was hers, too. She was so excited to get that doll.
I remember when I was 13 (or 15?) Mom made a comment about “you girls and all your dolls…” I smiled and said none of them are mine, I’ve never *had* a doll. I was strangely proud of that because I was never into dolls, except to make clothes for them.
She misunderstood - and gave me a Barbie that Christmas. *sigh* By then, I would have rather had makeup or nail polish.
Funny.
Another funny memory. You know that little library we walked to…. I remember telling that librarian that I’d finished reading all the books I wanted to in the childrens section and asking permission to use the adult section because I wasn’t old enough to be allowed to bus downtown yet. LOL.
LOL, your comment about the doll made me flash first to the doll… and then to how mom still uses that word, and every time she does I try explain why she shouldn’t… and then she uses it again anyway. Had you not referred to it that way, I’d never have remembered the doll.
I guess there’s some truth to #27 and #28. You really can’t change an old person.
LOL… I wondered if you’d remember that (and not think I was just being a doorknob). You did, you did!
So… I sound like a doorknob to everyone “but” you because you got it. lol
hee hee…thanks for playin….was fun huh!!…
::eyes go back and forth like in a ping pong tournament:: Yeah…they’re chicks.
Hi John! How ya doin’ today?!
Psst…. fraccy… he’s noticed we’z female.
I know, but I think he thinks I’m either like his mom or a sis. I’m not sure if I should be pleased about that or not. It just might ruin the fraccy reputation. I mean geez… if I’m like a sis, then isn’t that kind of weird when he looks at the bra pictures at fracas?
Oh my.
Nah. It’s not weird. It’s more that men are weird. They say that sister thang…. but remember that when their sisters grow up, they do the warner brothers eye-poppie thing and say “holy frac, when did my SISTER start looking like that?!” And then they want to kill anyone else that looks at dear sis the way they just did. heh heh
{{I secretly think they say that sister thing so their wives don’t put a password on the computer and lock them out of the Internets. P.S. I used the secret brackets that men can’t see on this part…. Seems to work on daddyp, so maybe on John, too? lol ….}}
hey Linda…how are ya!!….was fun wasn’t it?… hee hee
rotfl, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t too many eyes popping out like that over me. I’m too bitchy, bossy, and too much like everyone’s mother for that. Heck, one time, he even said he named his dog after me.
Or maybe it’s because I walk around with a big ole piece of paper with my logo in front of my face? Hard to get too many catcalls when they can’t see you. lolol
Sis… Oh, pshhh. A little ankle paired with one of the yummies from the red shoe diaries and they don’t even notice bitchy or bossy. lol
Dar…. Good to see you. And yes, it was!
