Khash.

[tjwmason]

64. High and low in different senses.

That's my point.

Yes I work, but I switch seemlessly between working and posting, also my predecessor was apparently less use than a chocolate tea-pot and thus I'm still thought of as highly efficient. Oh, and my boss is based on Warrington a good couple of hundred miles away....but yes, definitely a good thing you're not my boss.

[rbnyc]

21. What imagination.`

That's pretty cool. I wonder how you got that idea. (tomorrow)

[Heidi]

26. I know how I got the idea.

Before I was six years old, my little sister and I had a very bad life. But we also had a beautiful, young aunt who visited a couple of times a year, and our guardians had told us that Aunt Bobbi would be visiting "tomorrow." The land across the fence from our guardians' land was lovely: green, rolling pasture, with ponies in the garden. I _just knew_ that that had to be "tomorrow."

When I was six, Aunt Bobbi adopted my little sister and me. :thumbsup: For the past 36 years, she's been not only my Mom, but my best friend and co-conspirator in life. :)

[rbnyc]

28. Wow.

That's very moving.

[Heidi]

31. Just so you know,

I don't have any bad feelings toward my birth mother. She was extremely young, drug-addicted, and man-dependent, and I consider my adoption one of the best things that ever happened to both my natural mother and myself. It allowed her to get clean and divest herself of crushing burden that parenting was to her, and it allowed me to be raised by people better able to deal with a kid who had (and still has) a lot goofy ideas. :) Moms, rock. (That's a prop to you, too, gf. :thiumbsup:)

[distantearlywarning]

34. Here are mine...

1. If you could instantaneously change ONE thing about your life right now, what would you change?

Lose weight, no question. 30-40 lbs would improve my life dramatically. It's always a constant struggle for me. I don't know what it is with the weight issue, but it's just the hardest thing in my life to deal with. I quit smoking cold turkey after 10 years, and I could quit 10 times over for every pound I lose, that's how hard weight loss is for me. It would be really great if I would just wake up tomorrow morning and have it gone.

2. If you could instantaneously change ONE thing about America right now, what would you change?

I would give everybody an IQ of 140 and the knowledge equivalent of a Master's Degree. Bad governments come and go, but a smart, knowledgeable populace can deal with most problems effectively. Vast quantities of ignorance and naivete in many parts of the US are the #1 reason, IMO, why the Bush administration gets away with all the crap it does.

3. If you could instantaneously change ONE thing about the world right now, what would you change?

Ship all the religious fundies of every stripe off to some other planet so the rest of us normal people can finally live in peace. Or maybe I should say that I hope the rapture comes soon so that all those assholes go away!

4. Of all the things you are wearing right now, which is the oldest, and what's its story?

The diamond in my engagement ring was the diamond my grandmother and my mother both wore in their engagement rings. Whenever a woman in my family gets engaged, her mother sends her the diamond to have placed in a setting of her choice. It's a small stone (which sadly makes other people think my husband was cheap :eyes: , which is totally not the case) but I treasure it greatly. It makes me feel connected to my past and my family.

5. Of all the things you are wearing right now, which is the newest, and what's its story?

I'm wearing a purple sweater that I bought two weeks ago.

6. What's the weirdest way you ever got injured?

I broke a tooth while eating salad. I have no idea how.

7. Do you consider yourself to be low or high maintenance?

Low maintenance about the traditional girly things, high maintenance about some other things that most other people don't care too much about.

8. What's the name of the book nearest to you right now?

"Applied multiple regression/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences". A little light reading over lunch. :-)

9. What are you putting off?

Working on figuring out how to help my undergraduate research assistant with a difficult statistical analysis. Also finishing a book chapter I've been working on.

10. What future plan are you most excited about?

Buying a house next year if the housing market deflates a little more.
