Okay, so I'm a lemming too.

[saffronhare]

1. First Name?
Nicole

2. Were you named after anyone?
Yes, my paternal great-grandfather's first love. This, to the chagrin of my paternal great-grandmother (whose name was not Nicole) and all the people who wanted to name me Jennifer.

3. Do you wish on stars?
Not anymore. Rowan has called dibs on all the stars.

4. Which finger is your favorite?
My thumbs. They're useful.

5. When did you last cry?
To my great shame, I was a weepy womanish mess on Sunday, November 23rd.

6. Do you like your handwriting?
Yes, but I'm not as impressed by it as other people seem to be.

7. What is your favorite lunch meat?
Chicken salad. It's hard to get good chicken salad.

8. Any bad habits?
Of course not.

9. What is your most embarrassing CD on the shelf?
Madonnna, Ray of Light. I love Madonna so. Anything else that would embarrass me is on album or cassette.

10. If you were another person, would you be friends with YOU?
I would probably drive myself nuts.

11. Are you a daredevil?
Not usually, but I have some surprising moments.

12. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell?
Yes, a long time ago...and paid a heavy price for it.

13. Do looks matter?
Sure. Not a lot, but they do matter.

14. Have you ever misused a word and it sounded absolutely stupid?
Yes. Because I also mispronounced it.

15. Do you think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Perhaps, but the little people would never let me get it.

16. Do fish have feelings?
Perhaps.

17. Are you trendy?
No, and I have to say that sometimes this makes me sad. Because I secretly want to be a trend-setter. :sigh:

18. How do you release anger?
Not very well, lately. I need extreme physical activity -- dancing, beating things/people up, going running. Sex does not generally help me release anger because I worry too much about hurting somebody.

19. Where are your second homes?
Wherever they will let me nap and take a bath.

20. Do you trust others easily?
No.

21. What was your favorite toy as a child?
Books. I don't really get the whole toy thing.

Gym. If the idea is to encourage physical fitness, then they do it all wrong.

Intermittently, yes.

Of course not.

25. Have you ever been in a mosh pit?
No.

28. Would you ever bungee jump?
You're kidding.

Almost always.

choklit

32. What's your favorite color?
ocean colors (ranging from deep blue to grey-green)

33. What is your least favorite food?
Can't stand the smell of cabbage but don't mind the taste. Brussels sprouts are evil.

Yup.

36. How many people have a crush on you right now?

That warm spot right at the pulse point below and behind somebody's ear. Strong, artificial smells make me feel ill.
