sigelphoenix at 10:40am on 26/08/2005 under memeI've been a post-monkey lately, it seems.
1. What time did you get up this morning?
5:30. Actually, closer to 5:50, but who's counting? I still made it to my bus stop on time. XD;;
2. Diamonds or pearls?
Either, so long as they're not blood diamonds. >_> I actually prefer colored stones, though.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
March of the Penguins. DEATH BY CUTE.
4. What is your favorite TV show(s)?
Firefly, of course ... I also regularly watch 30 Minute Meals, Mariners games when they're on, and Ultimate Zoo. Back when I had more time to watch TV, I was a sitcom-whore: Friends, Will & Grace, Scrubs, and Everybody Loves Raymond. (I realize half of those are now over, and I feel kinda old. XD;;)
5. What do you usually have for breakfast?
Cereal on weekdays, something "fancier" (read: eggs and toast) on weekends.
6. What is your middle name?
Li-Shing. "Li" means "beautiful," and "Shing" is a type of flower whose English name my mother cannot remember. :P
7. Favorite food?
Urk. Anything? Japanese, Chinese, and Mexican for cuisine, bubble tea or iced coffee for drinks.
8. What food do you dislike?
Nothing? I'll try anything, and some foods that I don't normally eat (onions, squid, and artichokes), I will devour when deep-fried. >_>
9. What is your favorite chip flavor?
Potatoes? Deep-fried? Is there any one I WON'T eat? XD;;
10. What is your favorite CD at the moment?
Hmm ... The Wicked soundtrack is still sitting up there, though I also really like the Tsubasa OST. Kajiura Yuki pwns me.
11. What kind of car do you drive?
*waves bus pass*
12. Favorite sandwich?
*shrug* I prefer ham or turkey (or both), and cheeses (like havarti :D~~) are yummy.
13. What characteristic do you despise?
Smugness, especially smug superiority. Typically, this comes from a people who are not only enamored of their own opinions, they also refuse to engage in meaningful debate. People who refuse to question themselves spark a particular brand of contempt for me.
14. Favorite item of clothing?
My Inara robe is awfully comfortable to wear around the house. :D
15. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?
Right now, my first choice is Japan, but I'd love to visit anywhere in Europe or Asia.
16. What color is your bathroom?
White. Lotsa white. (Which makes it obvious when we don't clean it. >_>)
17. Favorite brand of clothing?
O_o I will buy anything from anywhere that I like and is cheap. I usually shop at department stores, anyway.
18. Where would you retire to?
I have no idea, really. I don't know anything beyond the fact that I'd like to stay in Seattle for the foreseeable future.
19. What was your most memorable birthday?
Last year, when I got the CRAP SCARED OUTTA ME, was pretty memorable. XD;;
20. Favorite sport to watch?
If I watch any sport long enough to pick up the general workings, I will sit down and stick with it. I grew up watching basketball, tennis, ice skating, and gymnastics with my mother, but now I also watch baseball, soccer, and anything in the Olympics. I can be a giant couch potato if my TV-watching goes unchecked.
21. Goal you have for yourself?
Mrr? *shrug* Learn things, be happy, don't do anything that makes me ashamed of myself (or too embarassed :P).
22. When is your birthday?
December 22 -- cusp of Sagittarius/Capricorn, as I was recently discussing. (Fire and Earth elements -- you're really exciting, and also boring as hell!)
23. When is your anniversary?
October 10th.
24. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Night, most definitely. I miss my lazy summer vacations when I could stay up until 4 reading or writing.
25. What is your shoe size?
8 1/2, usually. But, like my dress size, shirt size, pant size -- basically everything but bras -- it will depend on the store, brand, and/or my body's unfathomable workings.
26. Pets
Uh ...![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
kyonkun's Nintendog? XD;;
27. New and exciting news you'd like to share with us?
Partying to be had this weekend!
28. What did you want to be when you were little?
A writer. :P Also a teacher or comic book penciller.
32. How are you today?
It's Friday. 8D
33. What is your favorite candy?
Anything from See's. Mmmm ...
34. Favorite flowers?
Lilies.
35. What is a date on your calendar you are looking forward to?
September 6th. XD

thefridayfive's Friday Five:
1. List five people and a song that reminds you of them or that you think best describes them (list the person's name, the song title, and the song's artist).
ratzeo: "As Lovers Go," Dashboard Confessional. Memories and association and stuff, yeah. :D
nekokoban:"The Internet is for Porn," Avenue Q soundtrack. Uh, not because it describes her. XD;; It's just one silly song (of many) that she exposed me to, other ones including "Title of the Song" and "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything."
kyonkun: "Waltz," SuneoHair. Because it's from Honey and Clover, but also because of how much she pimps the song. :D
chasdini: "Take Me or Leave Me," RENT soundtrack. Heh. XD;;;
Jose: "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," Heart of Darkness. Because. XD
2. What would your life's soundtrack be?
If I could choose, I would probably have Kajiura Yuki do it, because she is the awesome. However, since my life is generally un-epic, it would probably end up being composed by someone who does fluffy shoujo anime. :P
3. Which would you prefer: to live somewhere that is hot or to live somewhere that is cold year-round? Why?
I think I'd go for a cold place, because it's easier to bundle up and attempt to regain heat than to make it go away. Maybe it's just because I've experienced it more (yay Texas summers), but sweltering heat presses down on me like I'm an orange being juiced, and I end up all lethargic and "blergh." I should say that I'm just a weenie when it comes to extreme weather in general, so either one might kill me. XD;;
4. Suppose you had twins, a boy and a girl. What names would you give and why?
*backs away slowly from any questions pertaining to having children*
5. What's a quote/lyric that describes you right now?
"There is no more an absolute logical chain in the human heart than there is a perfect geometrical figure in the celestial mechanics." -- Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
