answer all multiples of six

6. What’s your lucky number?

Eh, I’ve always kinda liked 4, I guess.

12. What was your last dream about?

I honestly don’t remember. I know I dreamt last night, and that it was a pretty vivid one, but I can’t remember anything about it at all except that I didn’t wake up from it with vague existential dread, which was a pleasant change from the usual.

18. Do you want children?

I do kind of like the idea, in theory, of having descendants, but I don’t really care for babies. I mean, they’re fine in small doses, but living with one sounds awful.

24. Baths or showers?

Yes, both are good things.

30. How many pillows do you sleep with?

Just one, unless I’m at a hotel or someone’s house and the pillows are too flat, in which case I might stack another one in there.

36. Favorite clean word?

I think I used to have a go-to answer for this, but honestly the only thing that came to mind was mesothelioma.

42. Are you a good judge of character?

Eh… eventually? Like, after a solid hour of conversation, yeah, but I’m not good at just sussing people out quickly. I usually just give people the benefit of the doubt until I can’t anymore. At least, I think so; I’m probably not the best judge of my own judginess.

48. Can you curl your tongue?

Nope.

54. Are you a clean or messy person?

I’m a clean but untidy person, if that makes sense.

60. Do you talk to yourself?

I think out loud, and sometimes I practice diction, so I guess so.

66. Do you like long or short hair?

I tend to think that long hair looks better, but it’s also a pain to take care of, so I prefer to wear it short. 

72. Are you scared of the dark?

Not by itself. There has to be other factors — too much silence, unfamiliarity with the location, possibility of people hiding — to make it scary.

78. Have you ever done drugs?

Other than alcohol? No.

84. What color is your hair?

Dirty blonde, I think? I had a friend in college who swore that it’s brown, but she’s the only person who’s ever said that (and I’ve asked).

90. What makes you angry?

I can only think of two instances over the last two years (although it’s possible there was a third, but I can’t think of what it might have been) in which I’ve gotten truly, genuinely, starting-to-lose-my-calm angry.

The first was in a conversation about Trayvon Martin, where the other guy clearly didn’t know jack about the circumstances of the shooting and was blaming Martin for having loitered around people’s houses or something; the second was this past Saturday, when I just started ranting about the bullshit NGC has put me through over the last year and couldn’t stop myself until I’d finished the whole list.

96. How did you get your name?

I think my first name is a family thing; my grandfather, his first son, and my dad’s first son (a.k.a., me) all share it, although I’m the only one who doesn’t go by my middle name. I go by a variation on my first name, which I think my parents gave me after a friend of theirs from college.

@dressedasahorse said: Drink until you forget this happened.

I just watched Community to distract me from TBBT, and I'm not sure if it was actually stellar -- Duncan gets character development! Old Timey Photo Club 2014! -- but if I only thought it was A+ because I was drunk, then that's the best damn rum I've ever had.

5, 19, 36

5. Do you chew on your straws?

I’m pretty sure I used to, but I generally don’t anymore unless I’m crazy bored. Incredibly, inconceivably bored and trapped in a situation without a books or my computer. And given we’re talking about straws, that all comes together when I’m stuck at a restaurant with people I don’t want to talk to and who don’t want to talk to me.

19. Does anyone like you?

That’s “like” as in “like like,” right? I’m aware of a very few people who have admitted to maybe liking me a little bit, but I don’t know of anyone who likes me currently.

(Of course, if this question is just asking if there are people who are fond of me in a general sense, then yeah: someone out there probably likes me.)

36. Who was the last person you took a picture of?

Other than myself and other than animals? Um… dang. I cannot remember at all. Um… shit. I can’t even check my phone to see what comes up because I just cleared out a ton of memory so I could update the OS.

Yeah, I’m going to have to go with myself because apparently I’m an antisocial photographer. Lo siento.

H, I, S

H. Favorite book.

There is absolutely no way for me to pick a singular favorite book because that’s not how books work. I will, however, mention that that I really really loved the last book I got at Barnes & Noble: Theories of International Politics and Zombies. 

I thought it was a decent poli sci textbook.

I. Eye color.

Kinda blueish gray, I think?

S. What’s my ringtone?

That depends on who’s calling; my default phone ringtone is the theme from the PBS series NOVA and my default text ringtone is “Buzz Lightyear to Star Command; come in, Star Command.”

But assorted people who contact me more frequently than never have their own ringtones, including (but not limited to) my alma mater’s fight song, “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” “Carry On Wayward Son,” and the themes from Star Trek: TNG, Arrested Development, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and Firefly.
