golf widow from a to z (revisited)
09/03/2007 = 09:14 AM

Gacked from the Mom, seen in blogs everywhere. But not in mine. Till April of 2005, which was when I first did this.

Now I've been officially tagged with a modified version, said taggage served by Quin (who was herself served by Hoosier Daddy — I mean, Hoosier Joe, who was in turn served by Lisa, who was served by Mimi, and so on and so on and so on like that shampoo commercial).

I'm italicizing anything that got added since the last time this thing went round.

No one is tagged, but feel free if you'd like. Also, if you have been tagged yourself and don't want to play, reading mine all the way through is, as usual, immunization against the tagcooties.

1. Accent: On the first syllable.
   Alcoholic Drink: Beer, but I also have a deep fondness for Irish whiskey, with or without coffee.
2. Bra Size: I'll never drown.
3. Chore I Hate: Anything that seems like a chore.
4. Dad's Name: Daddy. You'd never believe me if I told you his real name. Or the Mom's, for that matter.
5. Essential Electronic: I couldn't decide between my 'puter and my iPod, so I chose my alarm clock, which prevents me from being late for the Place That Gives Me the Money.
   Essential Make-Up: Moisturizer. Anything else is nonessential.
6. Favorite Meal: Rib eye or strip steak, grilled rare to medium rare, asparagus, mashed potatoes, frisée, and layer cake. Chimay Grand Reserve with dinner; Irish coffee with dessert. Please note that I will certainly require a doggie bag.
   Favorite Perfume: I have two: Very Irresistible Givenchy and Liz Claiborne.
7. Gold or Silver: Gold.
8. Hometown: American by birth, greater New Haven area by default.
9. Insomnia: Slow-sleep AND premature waking. I can count on, possibly, three hours of straight sleep before I'm up for the day.
   Interesting Fact: You can learn about NaRoNoWriMo, which is in October, when no one has to cope with relatives and turkey, here.
10. Job Title: Internet marketing specialist.
11. Kids: Are great when I can give them back to their mamas once I'm done playing.
12. Living Arrangements: Own my home, which I share with That Man of Mine, his golf clubs, and his baseball cards.
13. Mom's Birthplace: About forty-five minute's drive from here.
    Most Admired Trait: In myself, creativity. In others, generosity.
14. Number of Apples Eaten in Last Week: None. Ate two seedless oranges. Found one seed.
15. Overnight Hospital Stays: I was the control in a study on diabetes when I was a teenager. My family has a history of it, but my own sugar tends to be pretty low. Four nights. Three male visitors, not counting my dad and my brother. Clean up your mind. I had a roommate.
16. Pets: I have a Monty Python Ex-Parrot. He's plush. No Pining or Stunned Parrots have been injured or snuffed in the creation of my Ex-Parrot.
    Phobia: Sing it with me, now. Anything with more than four legs that cannot be steamed and served with drawn butter. (However, if William Petersen asked me nicely, I'd hold spiders for him. I love that Freaky Deaky Bug Man™)
17. Question I Ask Myself a Lot: "What was I just doing?"
18. Religious Affiliation: Golfwidowism. It's a religion of one. Basic tenet, "The God I believe in understands why I'm such a jerk."
19. Siblings: A slightly younger brother, by blood, and an older Virtual Sista whom I have never met in real life.
20. Time I Wake Up: You mean, and start doing things, or just to get up and have a pee and go back to sleep? No later than 5:00 am during the week, so I have hot water; on the weekend, I am decadent and have been known to slugabed till as late as 7:00 am.
21. Unnatural Hair Color: I find gray to be extremely unnatural. I put bits of red in to fix that.
    Unusual Talent or Skill: I used to be able to suck the entire length of a candy cane, up to the crook, without gagging. Maybe I still can; it's years since I attempted it. (This ought to bring all the boys to my yard.)
22. Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Canned peas.
23. Worst Habit: Laziness. I just work really hard so no one will find out.
24. X-rays: Teeth.
25. Yummy Food I Make: My brownies have been known to win friends and influence people.
26. Zodiac Sign: I was born Aries, but have since traded that in for a new sign. I am now a Penguin (with Lobster Rising).
