A - Accent: I don't sound to myself like I have one. Those of you from other areas who have heard me speak, do you hear something you would identify as a "Californian" accent? (aside from vocabulary/phrasing mannerisms, I mean some kind of actual idiosyncratic pronunciation of words)
B - Breakfast Item: Cup of Grape-Nuts (mmm, gravel)
C - Chore you hate: Washing dishes by hand.
D - Dad's Name: Jim
E - Essential everyday item:
blackthornglade said "computer". To be different, I'm going to say "toilet".
F - Flavour ice cream: Mint chocolate chip.
G - Gold or Silver?: Silver in terms of jewelry, but I've been wearing more gold in terms of cosmetics.
H - Hometown: Sunnyvale.
I - Insomnia: Z? (actually, I generally sleep enough-to-slightly-less-than-enough.)
J - Job Title: Senior Library Technician.
K - Kids: No, and sterilized to be sure of it.
L - Living arrangements: Bedroom in parents' house that I grew up in.
M - Mum's birthplace: I'm not certain. Her birth certificate says San Jose, I think, but she may actually have been born somewhere else. As an infant given up for adoption, a lot of her real record was obliterated.
N - Number of significant others you've had: 3.5. (three "real" ones and a brief fling, which did involve sex, but I don't think of him as a "significant other")
O - Overnight hospital stays: None that I can recall since being born. It's possible that I did the time they tell me I stopped breathing or something when I was an infant.
P - Phobia: Ridicule, abandonment, inadequacy. Although I'm not sure these are "phobias" in the strict sense.
Q - Queer?: No. I sometimes find various other females attractive, but it doesn't stir any desire to do anything about it, so I think of it as more aesthetic enjoyment than "attraction".
R - Religious Affiliation: Pagan.
S - Siblings: None.
T - Time you wake up: Alarm goes off at about 8:45 AM. When I actually manage to get up is anywhere from then to about 9:10.
U - Unnatural hair colours you've had: Red, black, blue-violet.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: Eggplant.
W - Worst habit: Dunno. Probably all the various mouth-motions I make - I am constantly pressing my lips together, biting at bits of dead skin on my lips and inside my cheeks, etc.
X - X-rays you've had: Dental, left wrist (fracture), chest (some kind of tuberculosis screening, part of the Canadian immigration medical exam).
Y - Yummy: Udon. Mincemeat. (just two things on my mind recently)
Z - Zodiac sign: Leo/Virgo cusp. I can recite the whole chart, actually, but I won't bore you.
