Good Morning, Boston

LJ was down yesterday, though it hardly mattered with everything I had to get done. Today I get to play, and tomorrow I have off with gratitude to MLK. I'm leaving shortly for the whole day, but here's a survey meme I couldn't resist swiping (and slightly modifying) from rdcf:


A - Accent: Faint Upstate NY
B - Breast size: Perky
C - Chore you hate: Taking out trash from the 3rd floor
D - Dad's name: Bernie (changed it to James in his 40s)
E - Essential make-up item: Lipliner, used as lipstick
F - Favorite perfume: Dragon's Blood oil (a pachouli mix)
G - Gold or silver: Silver
H - Hometown: Born in Cleveland, raised outside Rochester, NY
I - Insomnia: Zero tolerance for it. I'll take an herbal sleep aid or splash of booze!
J - Job title: Editorial Coordinator
K - Kids: None
L - Living arrangements: One housemate and two kitties
M - Musical preferences: Alternative, folk, classical (anything but country, really)

U - Unnatural hair colors you've worn: Black, red, blond, "Cherry Coke"
