Been a while since I’ve done one of these…
A – Act your age? When appropriate, I suppose
B – Born on what day of the week? Sunday
C – Chore you hate? Landscaping. I love the result, I despise the effort.
D – Dad’s name? Charles Antony (though my name is Thomas Antoni – a mix-up in the birth certificate, I seem to recall)
E – Essential makeup item? Well, I don’t wear make-up, but for heaven’s sake deodorant is a sine qua non!
F – Favorite director? Hmm, that’s a toughie. A tossup between Sam Raimi and Kenneth Branagh
G – Gold or silver? Yes, please 🙂
H – Hometown? Hard to say – I’m lived all over, but right now I count Chicago as my hometown
I – Instruments you play? Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, I took piano and clarinet lessons. Unfortunately, I just didn’t have the knack…
J – Job title? Chemical engineer (process engineer or process development engineer, to be more specific)
K – Kids? Not now, not ever. Period.
L – Living arrangements? Living with my husband, Takaza – we’re currently renting from a friend, but plan to buy a house wherever my job takes us
M – Mom’s name? Catherine Susan (though everyone calls her Sue)
N – Number of people you’ve slept with? Six. I can honestly say I have no regrets.
O – Overnight hospital stays? The only one I recall is when I had reconstructive surgery on my ankle
P – Phobia? Arachnophobia (mild), ophidiophobia (not so mild)
Q – Quote you like? “Groovy.”
R – Religious affiliation? None. I was raised Roman Catholic, but I got better.
S – Siblings? One sister, lives with her family in St. Charles, MO
T – Time you wake up? 6 AM, usually whether I want to or not
U – Unique habit? I am a creature of habit, I need my routines every morning: e-mail, coffee, and newspaper, in that order
V – Vegetable you refuse to eat? Beets. Though Belgian endive is a close second. Everything else is great!
W- Worst habit? Worrying
X – X-rays you’ve had? Good grief, where haven’t I had an X-ray? Broke each arm twice, numerous ankle X-rays, abdominal X-rays…
Y – Yummy food you make? Heh. I make quite a few, but I really like my cinnamon rolls (hmm, I need to post the recipe for those…)
Z – Zodiac Sign? Aquarius, though I give that no credence whatsoever
Two corrections and one question: your Dad’s birth certificate reads Charles Antoni, there was no typo. My birth certificate reaqds Catherine Sue, the priest who baptized me changed it to Katherine Suzanna(he was very German as were most of the denizens of Great Bend at that time). The questions is: at what time in your life did your ever take clarinet? It certainly was not on my watch! The balance was interesting. Mom
Huh. I always though it was Antony. Go fig.
The clarinet lessons were in elementary school at some point – I forget exactly when or where. Man, I sucked at that. “Do re me fa skreeeeee“
Aw, man, Duncan, don’t ya hate it when moms correct with facts? Hee hee hee. Cool that she reads your entries though.
Hey, it’s cheaper than a daily phone call! 🙂
