Chris & Kids gone to Canadian Tire.
1* First grade teacher's name:
Mitzi Shitanda. Lemme tell you we had some fun with that name.
2* Last words you said:
"Have fun" as Chris left with the boys.
3* Last song you sang:
"Confrontation" from Les Miserables - which my kids call "The Bad Man Song" and request all the time.
4* Last person you hugged:
Either Justin or Daniel. Probably Justin - he falls and hurts himself quite often, and comes running with an "I need a hug!!"
5* Last thing you laughed at:
Probably Chris :)
Actually, probably something Chris said. I think it was "I'm dithering."
6* Last time you said "i love you":
About ten minutes ago, to Chris as he left with the kids.
7* Last time you cried:
Not that long ago. Probably a few days. Crummy time right now.
8* What's in your CD player:
Les Miserables soundtrack.
9* What color socks are you wearing:
Barefoot!
10* What's under your bed?:
I don't really want to know. I know there's a camping mattress, and some kids' toys, but other than that it's full of dust buffaloes that mustn't be disturbed.
11* What time did you wake up today:
7:15.
12* Current taste:
Pumpkin pie that I made with the boys yesterday. Mmmm...
13* Current hair:
Halway to my shoulders, curling outwards like that thing The Flying Nun used to wear on her head, held back by a godawfully ugly thin pine-green hairband. I need a haircut.
14* Current clothes:
Long pink sun dress that I only wear at home because it's hideous. Chris keeps singing "Pink Thing I think I love you," bringing back memories of a spectacularly gutwrenching on-purpose badSlashSongfic called Pink Thing. It's a Mulder/Skinner piece, and features the song Pink Thing. I remember very little about it other than the fact that, prior to reading Law & Underwear, it held first place for Most Vile Sexual Imagery in my mind.
15* Current annoyance:
Auntie Flow.
16* Current longing:
For things to be better.
17* Current desktop picture:
Whatever the hell the "Science" theme for Microsoft picture is. I think it's supposed to be some sort of Mandelbrot set morphing into a moonscape or something.
18* Current worry:
Financial stuff, marriage stuff, kid stuff, depression stuff. The usual.
19* Current hate:
No current hate. Except maybe for Chris' job.
20* Story behind your LJ username:
Same as my pen name and pseudonym everywhere on the net. I had to pick a pseudonym for the Queen's Soapbox (a sort of internal bulletin board) and had just finished re-reading John Varley's Titan series for about the tenth time, so picked Cirocco Jones, the name of the heroine, for my soapbox name. I've used it ever since. I'm not a terribly original person when it comes to names, I guess.
21* Current favourite article of clothing:
Shorts.
22* Favourite physical feature of the opposite/same sex:
Hm... is this PG-13? Nah, actually, probably favourite feature would be eyes.
My track record is that my favourite feature is Nordic-ness. Of the seven SO's I've had, four were blue-eyed blonds, and another two had blue eyes but darkish hair. My guess is, my subconscious is telling me I'm enough of a Southern-European/South American Indian mutt, and yearns to mix my genes with inbred British Isles/Scandinavian types.
23* Last CD that you bought:
Moulin Rouge soundtrack.
24* Favourite place to be:
The study.
25* Least favourite place:
The car.
26* Time you wake up in the morning:
Somewhere between 6:30-7:30 most days, 8pm when I get to sleep in on a Sunday, which happens about once every 2-3 weeks.
27* If you could play an instrument, what would it be:
I do play piano. I'd love to play the guitar.
28* Favourite colour:
Blue or green.
29* Do you believe in an afterlife?
Sometimes.
31* Current favourite word/saying:
Gently, Justin.
No, that's just what makes up about 50% of my speech. Favourite word? Dunno.
32* Favourite book:
Don't have one. Possibly Pillars of the Earth. Or Tigana.
33* Favourite season:
Spring.
34* Favourite scent:
Fresh baking bread.
35* Favourite day:
Saturday.
36* Where do you want to go:
Backpacking through Europe with Chris. Possibly Antartica during summer.
37* What is your career going to be like:
I have no idea. Don't know what kind of law I'd like to practice.
38* How many kids do you want to have:
We wanted three, but with this damn fibroid making my life miserable and with the realization that having nobody in diapers is a very, very nice thing... I think we're going to stay with just two.
39* What kind of car do you have:
1996 Pontiac Sunfire.
40* What color is it?:
Green.
41* A random lyric:
To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos, to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou
42* Identify some things surrounding your computer:
Empty teacup and pie plate, lots of papers, stapler, staples, empty cider bottle, knife, fork, empty flower pot, Jackie Chan trading card... god, we're slobs.

Heh heh heh...

BTW, Chris nearly threw me out of bed yesterday because of you two. Don't ask me how, but I ended up quoting the phrases "Old Man Smell" and "Ravaged Lennie's mouth with his tongue." He just about hurled.
Bravo! It takes a great deal to gross out a doctor :)
