Taking the Easy Way Out
Today, I’m going to answer a questionnaire that was sent to my by email. I was supposed to respond in the email, instead I’m posting here. You know me…I like to break the rules once and a while.
- What is your occupation right now? Administrative Director of a research program at Harvard Law School.
- What color are your socks right now? Black…with a white Nike logo.
- What are you listening to right now? Traffic along Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge as background noise to my keypad keys clicking (I’ve not turned on my iTunes yet).
- What was the last thing you ate? Smart Start cereal with vanilla soy milk.
- Can you drive a stick shift? Yes, which was a good thing when I rented a car in Paris to drive to Amsterdam.
- Last person you spoke to on the phone? HMMM, I’ll have to think back on that one. It must have been Randy yesterday.
- Do you like the person who sent this to you? Well, I received it from two people: Randy and Ben. I’m rather fond of both (but more fond of one of them…sorry Ben).
- How old are you today? 37 years, 4 months, 6 days.
- What is your favorite sport to watch on TV? My snarky answer would be none. But I can get into the gay ones if forced: gymnastics and diving (partially for the sport, mostly to view the scantily clad athletes).
- What is your favorite drink? Sparkling water.
- Have you ever dyed your hair? No, but as a teen I would put lemon in it to make it lighten in the sun.
- Favorite food? Is “sweets” too broad of a category?
- What is the last movie you watched? At the cinema, it would be Sex and the City. On TV it would have been Gym Teacher: The Movie.
- Favorite Day of the Year? Probably Christmas. I love the whole holiday season, from the music to the lights…and love it even more if there’s some snow on the ground.
- How do you vent anger? I don’t….that’s my problem. I think I tend to let it build up. Fortunately, I don’t get angry much (and it takes a lot for me to really get pissed).
- What was your favorite toy as a child? Lego!
- What is your favorite season? This has changed over the years. I used to say summer was my least favorite and fall my favorite. Now I might be inclined to say summer (though, that could be because it’s just ended and it’s the most recent season I have in my head). But if you asked this question in May or June, I might say spring. I just like having a variety of seasons.
- Cherries or blueberries? I thought I hated cherries since all I’d ever had were Marachino (sp?) cherries. But I’ve recently discovered that cherries taste nothing like marachine cherries. Still, I’ll have to go with blueberries.
- Do you want your friends to email you back? Sure…or they can comment below with their answers.
- Who is the most likely to respond? I have no faith in my readers.
- Who is least likely to respond? All of them. Help prove me wrong, people!
- Living arrangements? Shacking up with the beau in a 2 bedroom condo in metro-Boston.
- When was the last time you cried? This is tough…I’m not much of a cryer. It might be when my niece died…back in 2005.
- What is on the floor of your closet? I’ve got plastic tubs of CD’s and DVD’s in the back, and milk crates (on their side) filled with shoes in front.
- Who is the friend you’ve had the longest that you are sending this to? UM…I’m sending it to the world!
- What did you do last night? Caught up on shows on the DVR with Randy.
- What are you most afraid of? Pain. I’m not afraid of death…just any pain that may be associated with it.
- Plain, cheese, or spicy hamburger? Cheese
- Favorite dog breed? Well, my best experience as a pet owner has been with a West Highland White Terrier.
- Favorite Day of the Week? Probably Friday; game night!
- How many states have you lived in? Two (Massachusetts, California). But I’ve visited nearly 60% of them.
- Diamonds or pearls? Nothing beats a pearl necklace.
- What is your favorite flower? I hate flowers.
Actually, that took longer to do than coming up with a topic of my own to write about.

Randy
I had nothing to say.
For the record, there were TWO games played last night I won the first round by about 50 points. I lost the second by about 20 points (and Randy came in dead last nearly 30 points behind me).
I’m not hiding anything!
Could I just point out that once upon a time, however briefly, that little white dog was tinted pink? And I was there to see it….and I haven’t stopped lauging about it since. 😉
