Personal Questions

1. Do you prefer to be out in the sun or in the shade?

Shade. Hands down. I must protect my lily-white skin, and keep the freckles to a minimum. (They’re already a bit out of control.)

2. Regarding the walls in your house, do you prefer neutral colors or bright colors?

First of all: HOUSE?? Surely you jest.

The apartment I am in now does not have white walls – the walls are a pale pale pale yellow, which I really like, actually. White walls give me a headache.

My favorite paint-job though was in the first apartment I shared with Jen (my roommate of 8 years): We went NUTS. We painted our kitchen a flaming deep red. The kitchen faced the sunrise, so the sunrise light on those walls was one of the joys of my life. I can’t remember what color Jen painted her walls … something pale and pastel-y – but I decided to go NUTS and painted the walls of my room a deep dark forest-green. Almost a black-green. I cannot explain to you the difference it made in how I felt in there. I had a lot of plants, I had low golden lamplight, my antique dresser with the swivel mirror – and these jungle-green walls. I would lie in bed and just revel in the darkness.

Of course when we had to move out, painting over that black-green was a nightmare on earth.

3. When hanging pictures on your walls, do you like things symmetric or asymmetric?

Asymmetric, I guess.

4. How about where you’d like to live; country or city?

I need to live in a city. I romanticize the country, I love the country, I love the grass, the flowers … but I NEED to live in a city. My goal (like everybody’s goal) is to make enough money to be able to live in both places. I’d love a house on the shore, and an apartment in “the city” (which, to me, means New York – at least right now.)

5. Your blog; Blogger, Blogdrive, Blog-City, or another one altogether?

That last choice ….

6. Email; Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, or other?

Yahoooooo

7. Air conditioning or just a fan when it’s hot at night?

Fan. I have still never had A/C. Even after this horrific experience.

8. Dinner; seafood or steak?

Seafood. Calamari, mussels, lobster …. salivate, salivate …

9. Your all-time favorite music media; CD’s, cassette tapes, or vinyl (or 8-tracks)?

Vinyl. Oh God, the memories. The vinyl! I only have CDs now, but still – when I go over to a friend’s house who still has a “record collection” – and we listen to some “vinyl” – you just can’t compare!

10. When learning a new software program, do you find it easier to follow a book or an online tutorial?

I don’t speak that language.
