Thirty Questions

FlowerCenter, originally uploaded by carolsLittleWorld.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a more “personal” post. I’ve been quite busy with photo-related items and have had a lot to tell you about recently, so I’ve kind of let these sorts of posts just sort of, well, pile up.

I thought it might be kind of fun to post one, just for old time’s sake and so, without further ado, here’s a line of questioning and my answers to the same:

1. It’s 2AM and you are not home. You are more than likely: either out drinking or on an all night photo shoot
2. What’s the last thing you spent more than $100 on? Camera gear
3. What do your bank checks look like? Blue and plain-they are the ones the bank gave me for free.
4. Where did the shirt you are currently wearing come from? It’s a blue T-shirt with horses on it. Oddly enough, it comes from White Sands National Monument. I say “oddly enough” because there are no horses there, though I did see a coyote there. Sadly, they did not sell T-shirts with coyotes on them there, so I had to buy one with horses.
5. Name something that will be on your Christmas wish list: camera gear
6. What color is your toothbrush? It’s white and boring-I use a sonic toothbrush though, so it makes a cool noise when it spins.
7. Name something you collect and tell us about it. I collect Moroccan lanterns and Lava lamps. I’m also a photographer. I guess I have a thing about light.
8. Last restaurant you ate at. Who were you with? How was it? Mandolo’s Italian Cafe with some friends. It was fantastic. I had a small piece of pizza, shared some baked dishes and had fresh iced tea.
9. Who was the last person you bought a birthday card for? My Mom.
10. What is your worst bad habit? biting my fingernails.
11. Name a magazine you subscribe to? Lenswork. Aperture. Art Calendar. Mostly photo-related crap.
12. Your favorite pizza toppings? I tend to like pizza just plain-with cheese and sauce.
13. Whose number were you looking up the last time you used a phone book? Precision Camera and Video I think.
14. Other than family, who is the person that you love most? My dog, Chase, though he is not (technically) a person.
15. What is the last thing you cooked? pasta
16. Name something you wouldn’t want to buy used? a laptop
17. Which shoe do you put on first? usually left but it varies
18. What is the last thing you remember losing? I always seem to loose my car keys. And my lens caps. Not in that order though.
19. What is the ugliest piece of furniture in your house? I have these two big art bins that hold a lot of my framed pieces. They look a bit like square buckets-not very pretty.
20. Last thing you bought and ended up returning? I don’t remember the last thing I returned. I tend to be really bad about returning things. I usually just keep them and re-purpose things a lot.
21. What perfume/cologne do you wear? If none, why? Almost never wear perfume (because it attracts insects) but, if I do, it’d have to be something that smells like lavender (because that helps me to sleep well.)
22. Your favorite board game? I like a lot of board games-monopoly, scrabble, backgammon, chess.
23. What was the last board game you played? I did a photo shoot with Scrabble but the last time I actually played a game, I think it was Catan.
24. Where did your vehicle come from? My car is an Acura. It came from my local Acura dealership. I got it new. (An Acura is the same as a Honda in the US.)
25. If a movie was made about your life what would the theme song be? “I Think She’s Crazy,” by Gnarls Barkley (would be my obvious choice.)
26. You’re sad, who can cheer you up easily? My camera, though it’s not a who. Either that or, maybe, Chase.
27. What was the color of the bridesmaid dresses of the last wedding you went to? Um, last wedding I went to, they all wore shorts as it was in the summertime and informal.
28. What house cleaning chore do you hate to do the most? I hate cleaning in general, so “all of them” but, if I had to pick one, it’d probably be cleaning the bathroom.
29. What is your favorite way to eat chicken? I love chicken so almost any way. BBQ maybe, grilled, or even in a sandwich. One of my favorite restaurants, Z-Tejas, makes this incredible jerk chicken and pasta dish that I absolutely love. It’s spicy and it’s called “Diablo Chicken Pasta” (I think.)
30. It is your birthday. You hope the cake is? Not too sweet but has some chocolate in it. And maybe some cool icing. Oh, and, since I’m getting old, not enough candles to set off the fire alarms!

Until next time…
