80 Questions

Since judiang did this meme, I thought I should as well. Watching the Gold Medal Match between Canada and Sweden for women’s curling. Go Canada! (Or Sweden!)

1. What curse word do you use the most?
The f-word (just ask the kitties).

2. Do you own an iPod?
No. I own two. An 80GB classic (almost full) and a 16GB Nano (purple).

3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
Online, it would be judiang & elsaf, but via phone calls, my sister. Seeing ’em in person is about even for all three. Heh.

4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
Mine has 2 time settings. I usually have it set for 6:30am, but the alternate time is 7:30am (for when we get a 2-hour delay, I always sleep in an hour more).

5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Yup.

6. Do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001?
I was at work. The secretary told me that an airplane had crashed into the World Trade Center and we tried to access a news station on the Channel One TV in my room. (We weren’t successful – my room never got a decent cable signal.)

Much rather take the photo. Though I’ve taken photos with my shadow in it to prove I was there. 🙂

On DVD, Coraline. In the theater, Avatar.

They never work for me, so why bother?

My car has a CD/MP3 player and it currently has an MP3 CD in it. With an assortment of music. I just recently managed to purchase all of the David Tennant read audiobooks by Cressida Cowell (the Viking books), 3 out of 5 of which were CD (the other two, audio tape). But most of the time, I buy MP3 albums. (Just recently purchased a year’s subscription to Big Fish Doctor Who audios, so lots of stuff to download in the next year – woo!)
