Friday Five & See's

Saturday, Dec. 29, 2007 - 1:21 a.m.

Yesterday evening, John and I had a mini holiday dinner comprised of turkey breast, mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing. And last night into early this morning, another mandatory Christmas movie was tackled: Since You Went Away.

Yeah, I know, it doesn't sound Christmassy on the face of it, but somehow, it is.

Maybe because dessert was See's Candy.

Here's the Friday Five...

When did you "lose your innocence"?

When I was eleven, there was a terrible school bus accident in which almost thirty high school students from my hometown were killed, along with a teacher. I think that was the first time I mourned a loss, so I think that's what I'll use as a marker of innocence lost. If you're referring to my virginity, I lost that when I was fourteen to a fifteen year old neighbor boy.

Would you say you have an accent?

I can imitate several, but no, I don't have an accent.

Do you hope to be married (married again if divorced)?

Yes. Or something.

If you could take one technology to a desert island (the obvious satellite phone excluded), what would it be?

The Internet, so I could communicate with my loved ones.

What is the last activity you bought a ticket for?

A flight.

My mystery reader turned out to be Abby, aka dragprincess, aka somebody I've been reading myself, so all is right with the world. In fact -- gloryoski! -- we got to chat last night for a bit.

Since it turned out to be one of my regulars as opposed to some creepanoid trying to study and morph into me, then there is no problem.

Sorry not a long post; the bedding was laundered on Friday evening, and I'm looking forward to see how it feels.

Have a good Saturday!
