1. Elaborate on your default icon.
It's a B&W pic of me run through the stamp effect repeatedly. Didn't know which other one to use. EDIT--Whoops! My default LJ icon is an image of General Grievous I'd found online a long while ago. Accidentally put my MySpace answer on my LJ meme.
2. What your current relationship status?
Married. With children.
3. What exactly are you wearing right now?
Green long sleeve button up shirt, jeans, brown Adidas shoes
4. What is your current problem?
Figuring out an import file for a piece of software...sadly, I've done this before with the previous version with no problem--that was upgraded last summer, and now, problem...
5. What do you love most?
Abby, Jonothan, Rachel, of course!
6. What makes you most happy?
Abby and Jonothan laughing and playing
7. Are you musically inclined?
Used to be...am now WAY out of practice
8. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
Not get involved in certain situations that had NO good coming out of them...
9. Ever have a near-death experience?
Not really
10. Name an obvious quality you have.
Aloof and unabashedly introverted--it takes A LOT for me to actually reach out and interact with others, it really does
11. What’s the name of the song that’s stuck in your head right now?
The theme from Mortal Kombat. Really. Just got it again after years of searching and it's still stuck in my head. That one and a remix of Sunscreem's Love U More. That one has proven even more difficult to find. The CD version is okay, but the remix adds a little bit more with some keyboard/sampler effects thrown in.
12. Any celeb you would marry?
At one time, it would've been Winona Ryder. She's kind of not as attractive to me as she was when I was younger. That and the Hollywood nickname I've heard about her is not at all flattering. It'd be nice to meet her, though.
13. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Jessica Biel.
14. Do you have a crush on someone?
Nah
15. Have you ever vandalized someone’s private property?
Yes. See, there was this lawn ornament affinity phase...it was fun while it lasted, but not so much for the owners of said lawn ornaments.
16. Have you ever been in a fight?
Yup
17. Have you ever sung in front of a large audience?
Nope, does having a trumpet solo in middle school count?
18. What’s the first thing you notice about the OPPOSITE sex?
Smile, if any. Eyes. If any.
19. What do you usually order from Starbucks?
Never ordered from Starbucks. Really.
20. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Not so much
21. Say something totally random about yourself.
Last night, I had a nosebleed in my sleep. When I woke up, it was a MESS. Yuck.
22. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
Never. It'd be nice to look like one.
23. Do you wear a watch?
Used to, but it kept digging into my wrist as I typed. So, no.
24. Do you have anything pierced?
Never.
25. Do you have any tattoos?
Nope.
26. Do you like pain?
I don't think so, but maybe just a bit.
27. Do you like to shop?
For me? Yes. For others? Not quite as much. Also, shopping for necessities is an automatic no.
28. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
Last night's dinner.
29. What was the last thing you paid for with a credit card?
The water bill online. Our usage is significantly better than last year at this time...of course, we had a whole extra family living with us then...
30. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
Haven't spoken to anyone on the phone yet...thank goodness
31. What is on your desktop background?
In my office, it was a Zooey Deschanel as Trillian wallpaper. That has just changed to a black desktop. At home, it's an image of Abby and Jonothan close up. The one I have in my pics section.

Nothing. My cell doesn't support backgrounds...and the one that DID went back to the original owner.

Several sets. None seem too into Doublemint, though.

Uh, YEAH. VERY weird.

A bit of Deceived last night. It's odd to see Goldie Hawn in something dramatic.
37. What was the last book you read?
A few graphic novels and am going to start a couple of Dean Koontz books soon. Stay away from Cell by Stephen King. Unless you're a HUGE fan of his.
38. Did you or are you planning to go to college?
Did. Don't know if I plan to do some graduate work. I'm not getting any younger.
39. What is your favorite pair of pants that you own?
Any of my jeans.
40. Do you like to party?
Well, not really. I'll go to one if invited, but typically do not. Go. Or get invited. Great, now Vengaboys We Like to Party is in my head.

Five years older and with lots more gray hair. }:^|~
