Do you prefer to be out in the sun or in the shade?  <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Shade.  Hands down.  I must protect my lily-white skin, and keep the freckles to a minimum.  (They&#8217;re already a bit out of control.)<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Regarding the walls in your house, do you prefer neutral colors or bright colors? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>First of all: HOUSE??  Surely you jest.<\/p>\n<p>The apartment I am in now does not have white walls &#8211; the walls are a pale pale pale yellow, which I really like, actually.  White walls give me a headache.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t remember what color Jen painted her walls &#8230; something pale and pastel-y &#8211; 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 &#8211; and these jungle-green walls.  I would lie in bed and just revel in the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Of course when we had to move out, painting over that black-green was a nightmare on earth.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. When hanging pictures on your walls, do you like things symmetric or asymmetric? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Asymmetric, I guess.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. How about where you&#8217;d like to live; country or city? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I need to live in a city.  I romanticize the country, I love the country, I love the grass, the flowers &#8230; but I NEED to live in a city.  My goal (like everybody&#8217;s goal) is to make enough money to be able to live in both places.  I&#8217;d love a house on the shore, and an apartment in &#8220;the city&#8221; (which, to me, means New York &#8211; at least right now.)<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Your blog; Blogger, Blogdrive, Blog-City, or another one altogether? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>That last choice &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><b>6. Email; Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, or other? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yahoooooo<\/p>\n<p><b>7. Air conditioning or just a fan when it&#8217;s hot at night?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Fan.  I have still never had A\/C.  Even after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=343\">this horrific experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>8. Dinner; seafood or steak?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Seafood.  Calamari, mussels, lobster &#8230;. salivate, salivate &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>9. Your all-time favorite music media; CD&#8217;s, cassette tapes, or vinyl (or 8-tracks)?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Vinyl.  Oh God, the memories.  The vinyl!  I only have CDs now, but still &#8211; when I go over to a friend&#8217;s house who still has a &#8220;record collection&#8221; &#8211; and we listen to some &#8220;vinyl&#8221; &#8211; you just can&#8217;t compare!<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\n10. When learning a new software program, do you find it easier to follow a book or an online tutorial? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t speak that language.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.llamabutchers.blogspot.com\/\">Llama Butchers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
