01. Can you cook?
I’ve been told I am a decent cook.
02. What was your dream growing up?
To be happy, to have reasons to laugh all the time, to love and be loved. To feel a sense of belonging. I think I’ve managed that rather nicely, so far. *warm smile*
03. What talent do you wish you had?
Singing and better time management.
04. If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Some kind of green tea or a hemp milk latte.
05. Favorite vegetable?
Too numerous to name. I love most all of them.
06. What was the last book you read?
I’m currently reading “Good Omens” by Gaimen and Pratchett.
07. What zodiac sign are you?
‘Tis the great mystery. No one with any astrological knowledge has ever guessed correctly yet.
08. Any tattoos and/or piercings?
Two holes in each ear. Not much into the permanence of tattoos.
09. Worst habit?
Too numerous to name.
10. If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
“Hey, Baby, wanna ride on my handlebars???” All the chicks and dudes think I’m terribly sexy on my bicycle. *wink*
11. What is your favorite sport?
I don’t think of the things I do most as sports, but I guess they are, to a degree. They would be hiking, biking and Scuba diving. As far as game sports, I enjoy, but never seem to play, volleyball and tennis. Oh, and kickball.
12. Negative or optimistic attitude?
I am The Great Optimistic Cynic.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
We could sing sappy versions of the Musak that’s playing and, if we’re inspired, shake a bit of a tail feather. I think that’s a good start, anyway. *wink*
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
I couldn’t choose. All the “bad” things that happen occur for a reason. I usually come out the other side smarter, more capable and better, so it’s hard to think of a “worst” thing.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you.
16. Do you have any pets?
Two Maltese puppies (13 and 7). In the past I’ve had the puppies, up to 5 big tanks of tropical fish and two ferrets.
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Depends. From a distance they are entertaining, up close, I’m rather put off by the ones that are not the emotion painted on their faces. Too weird. There’s a small electrical short-circuit in my brain when people are not what they appear.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I’m pretty content with my “Paleolithic fertility goddess” look. Seriously, I’ve been to the caves. I look just like those goddesses. If I could improve one thing, I’d ask for a greater abundance of my hair.
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Depends. If it’s harmless jokes or fun “criminal” activities, I’m right there. If you were planning something actually against my conscience, I’d advise against those actions.
22. What color eyes do you have?
Mahogany brown.
23. Ever been arrested?
Nope.
24. Bottle or draft?
Ceramic tea tin, please. Soy or hemp milk latte would rock. I’d even take a half glass of red wine, if you could recommend something tasty. I’m working to develop a palate for red wine, you see, neophyte that I am.
25. If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
I’d either address some debt or invest it to make more, depending upon the opportunities available at the time.
27. Where's your favorite place to hang out?
I love my home. I also love Mt. Pisgah. Then, there’s the local cafés. Plus, my friends’ houses. Honestly, I’m the type that can find a really awesome spot most anywhere I go. I currently have a “favourite spot” in such diverse locations as Rhode Island, Sorrento, Venice, several locations in France, a few in Australia and a couple in Japan. There’s lots of groovy, attractive spots for my type and I’m just the girl to sit in them. *grin*
28. Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes, but we’re not on open speaking terms.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Play with puppies, play with friends, read, create, learn, hike, bike, laugh, fondle bright shiny objects, cuddle, cook, bake, garden, breathe, honour, love. Lots of stuff.
30. Do you swear a lot?
Nope.
31. Biggest pet peeve?
Not keeping an open mind, being stubborn to the point of stupidity. Impatience.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Me. Really… I challenge anyone to describe me in ONE word. That’s just not enough.
33. Do you believe in/appreciate romance?
Yes.
35. Do you believe in God?
I believe there is a Divine Creator of the Universe. I have no entangling organized religious affiliations. I am often heard to say, “I am the one and only member of the non-proselytizing Church of Carol.”

Flex came up with one that might work, though. I walk on my tip-toes when I'm barefoot. Is that odd enough?

I have strange tooth brushing habits. I mangle my toothbrush by chewing while I brush. I usually go through a brush a month. G also takes exception that I tend to rinse my mouth afterward by wetting the brush and brushing all the toothpaste off my teeth rather than swishing a cup of water in my mouth. He labours under the misconception that I swallow all the toothpaste, but I don't. He doesn't seem to want to believe me. *shakes head* He's silly.
