I don’t do many memes. But in lieu of a Thursday Revue I will do this meme, stolen from Hallow.

1. Someone knocks on your door at 2 a.m., who do you want it to be?

I just hope it isn’t someone with a weapon. Ed McMahon handing over a big fat check would be welcome at 2AM. Otherwise, I’m likely to be cranky.

2. Your boss tells you he/she will give you a $20 raise if you’ll do your job naked, do you stay and take the raise?

Um, no. Can you say “sexual harassment lawsuit”? BTW, not even twenty more bucks an hour is worth sitting on an office chair naked. Those things get shared.

3. Put yourself in a nutshell:

Thirtysomething genrebending writer and mother, as honorable a person as possible and as good a friend as I can be.

4. Ever seen a ghost?

Yup.

5. Happy with your body?

I don’t want to be thin so I can be fashionable. I want to be fit so I can beat the tar out of anyone who tries to mug me.

6. A reason you would move to Iceland:

Hmmm. I hear their saunas are good.

7. A place you’ve lived that you miss:

Newmarket, in Great Britain. *sigh*

8. A job you would never do no matter how much you were paid:

Plumber. I clean up after kid schmutz all day, there’s no way I’m taking that to the world at large.

9. A band you thought was cool when you were 15:

Oh, Lord. Not cool anymore: Slaughter, Warrant, Poison. Still cool: Joan Jett, Queen, David Bowie, and Oingo Boingo.

10. You have a nightmare, who’s the first person you think to call?

I don’t. I lock myself in the bathroom and hyperventilate until I’m really sure it was a dream.

11. Wanna have kids before you’re 30?

Too late.

12. A memory from high school:

The drama backstage during the high school production of Fiddler on the Roof, as well as the drama teacher behaving extremely unprofessionally to yours truly.

13. Ever had a crush on one of your friend’s parents?

My third boyfriend’s father was the coolest man alive. I wish he’d have been younger or I’d been older. *sigh*

14. Naughtiest thing you’ve done at work:

Deliberately used my freakish ability to blow out electrical appliances when I get upset.

15. Do you look more like your mom, or your dad?

Neither. Especially now with the nose ring. I seem to have hatched from a cuckoo’s egg, though I have my maternal grandmother’s eyes and my mother’s mouth.

16. Something you’ve always wanted to learn how to do:

Fencing! Like really old-style fencing. And dancing the tango, though I’m taking classes for that now.

17. Still friends with your exes?

Lost touch with all the ones I’m friends with. The ones I’m not friends with, I could care less.

18. Where you’d like to be in 10 years:

Hmmm…on a bestseller list or two.

19. Something you learned about yourself this year:

I really can write under pressure.

20. What do you want for your birthday?

To have the occasion pass unremarked by everyone.
