V for Vendetta, yesterday. Ouch.
6. Who was the last person you called?
Marie, to see if Daniel and I could drop in on her tomorrow.
7. Who was the last person to call you?
Um... Bell Canada, I think. They asked to speak to "Mr. or Mrs. LastName", which is a pretty sure sign it's nobody who knows us, since we don't have the same last name, I'm a Ms, and Chris is a Dr.
8. What was the last text message you received?
AFAIK, none, ever.
9. Do you prefer to call or text?
See #8.

The car.
20. Where would you go if you could go anywhere?

81. Can you change the oil on a car?
No.
82. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
Oddly, no. The one time I ever started to get a speeding ticket, the cop realized (much to my horror, as I hadn't realized it myself) that I was driving with an expired licence. As in, six months gone. He forgave me the 10km over the speed limit and instead took my licence away and I had to walk home in the rain and face a $300 fine. Four months pregnant and working as a prison teacher while supporting my medical student partner and paying for our two-year-old's day care made this a daunting prospect.
I eventually paid $30 and got my new licence. This involved a bit of crying. Went around with a hideous photo ID for the next five years, reflecting the mood of the day: gaunt and nauseated from the pregnancy, worried and weepy from the fine, and wet from the rain. A real thing of beauty, it was.
83. Have you ever run out of gas?
Oh yeah, with another mom in the front and Daniel and her twins in the back. The three kids were all 4 months old. What joy.
84. What is your usual bedtime?
1:00 ish.
86. Do you read the newspaper?
Not any more. CNN and Yahoo news online.
87. Do you have any magazine subscriptions?
National Geographic & National Geographic Kids.
88. Best comedian?
Stephen Wright, Elvira Kurtz, Bob Newhart.
89. Do you watch soap operas?
For about five months in 1981, my mom and I followed The Guiding Light. Man, that was fun.

Date: 2006-11-09 06:10 am (UTC)It's truly scary how many of your answers I'm leaving exactly the same, as I fill this out for myself.
Your speeding ticket and out-of-gas stories totally trump mine, though. I'm really amazed you survived them both, and yet, if anyone would, it's you! :-)
Off to fill this out for myself.
