If all my friends jumped off a cliff...

ciroccoj...I'd mourn them, but rejoice in a cleansing of the gene pool, because people who willingly jump off cliffs shouldn't breed. What - you think I'd jump too?
On the other hand, if all my friends did a silly meme, I'd happily follow their lead :)
A - Act your age - 32. I believe I'm the oldest person doing this meme.
B - Boyfriend - nope. Went and married him.
C - Chore you hate - cooking. Unless I'm pregnant, naturally or hormonally.
D - Dad's name - Jaime
E - Essential make up item - hee. I don't own any. I have one lipstick (dark plum) that I sometimes find when I need it, sometimes don't. My only mascara dried up about 7 years ago.
F - Favorite actress - um... Gillian Anderson? I think?
G - Gold or silver - both.
H - Hometown - Ottawa, Ontario.
I - Instruments you play - piano and recorder.
J - Job title - law student and mom.
K - Kids - two boys.
L - Living arrangements - two-story townhouse. Or semi-detached duplex. Or something like that.
M - Mom's name - Julia.
N - Number of people you've slept with - 6. Gosh, that sounds like a lot, after reading other people's memes. I could reassure myself that it's OK because I'm a lot older than most of you, except I can't, because it's been the same number since I was 22.
O - Overnight hospital stays - Very recently, on the gyne ward. And what tremendous fun that was.
P - Phobia - hm... don't think I have one. I get creeped out by earwigs, but then I just squish them and I feel much better.
Q - Quote you like - One that I've never been able to place, possibly from Mother Teresa or St. Francis of Assissi: "There is more to a person than the worst thing he has ever done."
And one from Hubert Humphrey: "The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those in the shadows of life--the sick, the needy, and the handicapped."
R - Religious affiliation? - none.
S - Siblings - I'm my mom's only child, and was raised as an only. I have two half-brothers from my father's second marriage, but they're 16 and 18 years younger than me and live in Greece.
T - Time you wake up? 6:30. Ugh.
U - Unique habit - um... I can bend my left pinky back until it touches the back of my hand.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat - none.
W - Worst habit - wasting time on the web. As I'm doing right now :)
X - X-rays you've had - don't remember any X-rays, but I've had a whackload of ultrasounds.
Y - Yummy food you make - Indian food and pies. Onion bhajis, tandoori chicken, gulabjamon (sp?); pumpkin and apple pies.
Z - Zodiac Sign - Capricorn.
On the agenda for today:
Gypsum's fic as my carrot if I slog through the above readings
ADR, Ethics: Theory
Legal Aid clinic
answer Becky's e-mail
answer Karolyn's e-mail
Later Edit: Found the source of the quote! Bless google.
