I'm bored. Wanted to do that googly-image meme that's going around, but none of the pictures were good, so I decided to just do another one of these:

1. First Name? Kimberly

2. Were you named after anyone? A friend of my parents, Kim, but since they wanted a long name, I got Kimberly. (Which I hated for the first fifteen years of my life but now rather like.)

3. Do you wish on stars? You know, not really; I talk to them, though, and spend a lot of time watching them.

4. When did you last cry? Hmm. Probably while reading a Harry Potter fanfic within the last fortnight. Can't even remember which one it was, now...'twas late at night, though. :D

5. Do you like your handwriting? I *adore* my handwriting---script, print, large, small, artistic, straight, calligraphy. It's a vanity. One I appreciate in others, though---does that make up for it? :)

6. What's your favorite lunch meat? turkey or lean roast beef

7. What is your birth date? August 14

8. What is your most embarrassing CD? Embarrassing? Uh, probably my Audioslave CD---so many swears on it, I'm embarrassed to let anyone listen to it, even though I like the music.

9. If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you? Considering I'd still be *me*, yup. ;)

10. Are you a daredevil? Closeted. And I don't daredevil alone---someone has to talk me into it (not hard) and then back me up.

11. Do looks matter? Ayuh. They're not everything, but they *do* matter.

12. How do you release anger? I vent, on paper, on screen, to anyone who'll listen. Sometimes I scream. That's terrifying, but *so* effective.

13. Where is your second home? Where I am right now; haven't found my first home yet. Where are you, FH?

14. Do you trust others easily? Yes, but there are levels of trust, some of which certain people will never reach.

15. What was your favorite toy as a child? Anything that let me pretend; I was very fond of dress-up clothes and princess regalia.

16. Which class in high school do you think was totally stupid? Health. As if it weren't taught all over again in biology.

17. Do you have a journal? *A* journal? Ha! I have several, over several years, and now I keep two at once (this one and the more traditional book version).

18. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Alack. Yes.

19. What are your nicknames? Kim, Kimi, 'Quila, perhaps Isabele, occasionally "sorella"

20. Would you bungee jump? You gonna talk me into it? ;) I dunno. I *hate* freefalling, but if I did it tandem, I might be okay.

21. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Not unless I have to.

22. Do you think that you are strong? Physically? No way. Mentally? Sometimes. Spiritually? Hell yes. (oops...no pun intended)

23. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? chocolate peanut butter

24. Shoe Size? 8-8.5 narrow

25. Red or pink? RED!!

26. What is your least favorite thing about yourself? Ooh. I could pick several. I hate that I overanalyze everything---not always bad, but definitely evil when it means I terrify myself into inaction.

27. Who do you miss most? Alissa! Can I come visit you in Chile, sorella?

28. What color pants and shoes are you wearing? no shoes, blue jeans

29. What are you listening to right now? New CD: Madeleine Peyroux - Careless Love

31. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? I've always been partial to cornflower blue.

32. What is the weather like right now? sunny and coooold

33. Last person you talked to on the phone? Some consumer study interviewer.

34. The first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Physically: hmmm...height, most probably. Or eyes. Personally: sense of humor.

35. What is your ethnicity? No ethnicity, not unless you count nationalities up my family tree. In which case I'd be German, Welsh, and English.

36. Favorite Drink? Alcohol: red wine or tequila, occasionally scotch. Regular: water, coffee, ginger ale.

37. Favorite Sport? I can't stand watching sports, not much of a player either, but I do enjoy climbing and running and a casual game of touch/flag football.

38. Hair Color? ash blonde

39. Eye Color? hazel green-grey-blue

40. Do you wear contacts? ayuh.

41. Favorite Food? This is impossible to decide; depends on my mood.

42. Last Movie You Watched? I think it was the very wonky The Black Hole. Talk about your B-films.

43. Favorite Day Of The Year? Of the year? Thanksgiving.

44. Scary Movies Or Happy Endings? Oh, happy endings. Definitely.

45. Summer Or Winter? Summer, baby!! I'm in hell right now.

46. What Is Your Favorite Dessert? tiramisu

47. What Books Are You Reading? Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie, many faery research books, The Midnight Bride by Susan Carroll, which I just can't seem to get into, despite enjoying the first two books in the trilogy.

48. What Did You Watch Last night on TV? Oy. Tuesday is my busy TV night. I watched Gilmore Girls, Scrubs, House, M.D., and if they hadn't been reruns, I would've watched Navy NCIS and Law & Order: SVU.

52. What's the furthest you've been from home? Amalfi Coast, Italy.

53. Do you have a special talent? Does writing count? It should, if it doesn't! ;)
