Here ye, Hear ye ...

Let it be known that I am, and will forever be known as 

NerdTests.com says I'm a Cool Nerd Queen.  Click here to take the Nerd Test, get geeky images and jokes, and write on the nerd forum!
SO, yeah.

And here's another meme:

-What was the last film you saw at the cinema?  ... Oh!! The Dark Knight!! That's right!

-What is your favorite TV show? Jeopardy, House, Bones, Lie to Me, Fringe, Firefly (Shut up. I don't care if it hasn't been syndicated for YEARS. Still counts.), Daria (ditto.) ... VH1's Pop-up Videos ...

-What do you usually have for breakfast? ... That assumes that I really eat in the mornings. Sometimes I do.

-What is you middle name? Lee ... hence my blog's address ...

-What food do you dislike? I'm not a fan of seafood. And I think that corned beef hash is dog food marketed to humans (Sorry, honey. It's true.)

-What kind of car do you drive? Honda Odyssey

-Favorite Sandwich? My mom's tuna salad sandwich (has minced carrots and dill pickles in there. I modified it by adding some cracked black pepper). Or turkey with cheese and dill pickles.

-What characteristic do you despise? Probably hypocrisy. Or maliciousness.

-Favorite item of clothing? Um ... Right now I really don't have one. Maybe my light-teal jacket that's in the wash right now.

-If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? How about a tour of the world? I mean, why not? I'd love to travel.

-Favorite brand of clothing? I don't really shop by brands. ... I do like the George line, though, at Wal-Mart.

-Where would you retire to? Michael likes the idea of a houseboat. I'm thinking about it.

-What was your most memorable birthday? It could be my 15th ... when I decided that I didn't really care for my birthdays so much after all. ... However, Dave singing to me in the cafeteria on my 18th was entertaining. It's nice to have talented/hilarious friends. :P

-Favorite sport to watch? I don't often watch sports. 

-When is your birthday? April 9

-What is your least favorite chore to do in the house? Dishes. And folding/putting away laundry. And vacuuming.

-What is your shoe size? 8

-Pets? 1 cats -- Ginger and Diana

-What did you want to be when you were little? A doctor, a vet, a cheerleader, a detective, a writer, a world-famous pianist (but not enough to actually, you know, PRACTICE), an actress, a teacher, a cowgirl, a photographer, an artist ... What DIDN'T I want to be?

-How are you today? Tired. Lazy.

-What is your favorite candy? Chocolate, especially with caramel or peanut butter. Or sour things.

-What is your favorite flower? Roses, violets, carntions (not from the florists. I mean the ones that grew in the sun and wind and smell deliciously spicy).

-What day on the calender are you most looking forward to? "April 13. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light sweater." (Yeah, I don't know. So you get a movie quote. Whee.)

-What was your maiden name if you are married? Dick. Stop laughing. I can show you my birth certificate and several student IDs to prove that I'm not pulling your leg on this.

-Favorite soft drink? Water. Or root beer. Or Raspberry Lemonade.

-Favorite restaurant? Probably Olive Garden.

-Real hair color? Dark blonde/light brown. What's on my head right now. Just about matches Bunny's hair. Weird.

-What was your favorite toy as a child? Books, My Little Ponies, Barbies

-Favorite season? They're all good. Especially when you have central air with a heat pump. SCORE!!!

-Hugs or kisses? Depends on who you are. If we're close, I can accept both. If we're not ... well, then hugs.

-Chocolate or vanilla? Yes.

-Coffee or tea? I drink herbal teas ... and HOT COCOA!!
But this video makes me laugh:


-When was the last time you cried? Yesterday. I was reading about the MissingAngelsBill.com (For families who've lost a baby through stillbirth. And how most states don't offer them a birth certificate, just a death certificate and a financial duty to bury their baby. Ouch. ... And there's also a group of volunteer photographers who, pro bono, take professional pictures of these babies for the families. I mean, this is a labor of love. It makes me proud of mankind ... and it starts to make up for all the crap that we, as a species, deal out on each other.)

-What is under your bed? Drawers. Full of stuff.
-What did you do last night? Went shopping at Costco, put the kids to bed, read blogs, went to bed, played Sukodu on my DS, went to sleep.

-What are you afraid of? Bad things happening. Debt. Spiders. "Carnies ... circus folk. Small hands. Smell like cabbage." (Can you name the movie?)

Sweet of salty? Yes. Sometimes at the same time!

How many keys on your key ring? LOTS. House (3, including the shop), mailbox, two for church, three for the cars (two are for the truck), a screwdriver, a Hello Kitty keychain ...

-How many years at your current job? Homemaker - since mid-December 2003. Mom --- well, do you include incubation time? If not, 3 years and 25 days.

-Favorite day of the week? Fridays and Saturdays

-How many towns have you lived in? 5 - My hometown (Canyonville), Seattle (1 year. Exactly), Monmouth (my college town), and two in the Willamette Valley.

-Do you make friends very easily? I seem to be able to make people feel comfortable. And I don't really mind reaching out, especially if it looks like someone feels out of place. You'll have to ask people that I've met recently, though, to get a really honest answer.

We up for story time tomorrow? We finally don't have any doctors appointments to go to. If your kids are up for it, we should pack a picnic and take them to the park afterwards or something.

Heh. I'm a nerdier nerd than you. I'm an awkward sci-fi/comic nerd. Booyah. And I have owned a lightsaber in my life.

Nerds are cool! I marrued a science/math geek myself and he's so sexy! I loved reading your answers, fun to get to know you better. And many of mine would be the same! I am a closet sci/fi junkie too! I love the fringe and house shows!
