(no subject)

In what for me is a rare fit of memeiness, this looked like fun to fill out before possibly posting something of greater substance later tonight. It's a lot shorter than my response to the 'pick ten interests and describe' meme which I was rather proud of, but no one ever responded to that one, so perhaps that's just as well.

And without further ado, a meme nipped from kritterfox:

------------------------

Accent: Midwestern American with perhaps a touch of "Yuper".

Breakfast Item: Today? Microwaved cheese quesadillas with bleu cheese dressing. Yummy!

Chore you hate: Cleaning the cat box. (I need badly to do that this weekend.)

Dad's Name: Robert Michael something something something something Allen. (I think he has five middle names; it may be more. I never could remember them all.)

Essential everyday item: Much to Andrea's annoyance I'm sure, I can't think of anything except my wedding ring. (She is a bit perturbed that making sure I have my wallet before leaving the house doesn't occupy a position closer to the fore of my consciousness.)

Flavor ice cream: Mint chocolate chip.

Gold or Silver?: Definitely silver.

Hometown: Born in Lake Forest, Illinois. Spent my early childhood in Mundelein of the same state. The place that feels most like home though, is Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Insomnia: Not lately, which is odd because I used to have a great deal of trouble getting to sleep. That may have just been due to the stress of attending school though.

Job Title: Network Support Analyst I.

Kids: None. I'm not ready for them. I do think from time to time that someday I might like to have one. No time soon though, certainly. Ten years from now perhaps....

Living arrangements: My mate/girlfriend/lover/betrothed/wife (choose which you will, they are all accurate) and I share a rental house.

Mom's birthplace: Do you know, I'm not quite sure. I believe it would have been somewhere around where my grandparents' farm used to be, near Lake Zurich.

Number of significant others you've ever had: One.

Overnight hospital stays: I know there've been at least two, but I can only distinctly remember the one for my tonsilectomy. The surtery on my broken wrist was, interestingly enough, done on an outpatient basis.

Phobia(s): One that I'm not comfortable mentioning here.

Queer?: Quite! Happily bisexual.

Religious Affiliation: None. No organized one, certainly. Philosophically, I describe myself as Taoist. Whether Taoism is a religion or not is certainly arguable; I choose not to argue it.

Siblings: Two younger brothers.

Time you wake up: 6:00 A.M. Then 6:20 A.M. Then again at 6:40 A.M. after getting ready for work and falling back asleep.

Unnatural hair colours you've worn: None. I am unwilling to damage my hair by dying it.

Vegetable you refuse to eat: It would take far less space to list those that I will consider eating. That would include corn and peas. I also have at least a chance at dealing with others that have been diced into little bits and mixed with other things. I am working on getting better about this; it's a long process.

Worst habit(s): I'm not sure. Ask my beloved wife. I'm sure she could list a few.

X-rays you've had: Hmm. Wrist. Feet I think. Not sure about others. Probably my neck when I had my tonsils out, but I don't remember.

Yummy: wooisme. Oh! Food? Pizza.

Zodiac sign: Scorpio is my sun-sign, though I've been told that I'm on a cusp. I can't remember when the cusps are exactly and never looked it up. I started to calculate my entire horoscope once rather than just my sun-sign, but I got lost in trying to convert my birthday into siderial time. I guess I'm not cut-out to be an astrologer. Or a mathematician.
