A-Z Meme

From Irina

Accent: Wow...long, long story. Basic version: mostly Chicago, but a brief childhood stint in New York, combined with really weird r's derived from a speech problem, leaves me with an accent that is misidentified as British, but is in fact entirely my own.

Booze: First of all, not legal yet in this country. Second of all, I really hate the taste of anything alcohalic. Every year, I have a huge internal debate whether to go with wine or grape juice for the Four Cups.

Chore I hate: Cleaning, mostly. I can stand cooking, and laundry is bearable when I can work up the energy, but not cleaning. That is, not cleaning up my own messiness. I don't mind working under someone else's direction, because then you can just space out and obey.

Dogs/cats: Neither. Once, I was really into animals and wished we could get a pet, but my father is allergic to fur. Then I realized that for all that trouble, you may as well have a kid.

Essential Electronics: Computer, mostly...I'm slowly becoming addicted to the internet. My family didn't even have internet until last year, but now I'm totally hooked.

Favorite Perfume/Cologne: Don't wear it. But I really like the smell of Softsoap's milk-and-honey soap. Yum.

Gold and silver: Definitely silver. Much more classy.

Hometown: Chicago

Insomnia: Rarely. Usually, it takes me around a half an hour to fall asleep, but once out I will not awaken until summoned by my internal clock.

Job Title: Student?

Kids: Nope. But really, really adorable nephews and niece.

Living Arrangements: Dorm room, all to myself.

Most Admired Trait: I don't get offended or angry at people. Ever. Mildly annoyed, perhaps, but I don't think that I've had somebody angry at me or vice versa for years and years. Unless they just don't tell me.

Number of Sexual Partners: ....*rolls her eyes*

Overnight Hospital Stays: None, I think. Thank G-d.

Phobia: Decisions. ; )

Quote:"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life" -Terry Pratchett

Religion: Jewish

Siblings: Two older brothers, two older sisters, one younger brother.

Time I usually wake up: Well...normally around eight something, since I have class at 9:30, or a chavruta at 9:00 on Tuesdays. On Sundays, I sometimes sleep rather late, but never much after 10ish.

Unusual Talent: I can find anagrams in words. Really fast. Right off the bat. Years of playing text-twist have honed it to an almost freakish level of talent.

Vegetable I refuse to eat: Most of them.

Worst Habit: Laziness.

X-Rays: Just for dental/orthodontic purposes.

Yummy Foods I Make: Um....see, I'm a college kid....once, at home, I made a really awesome key lime pie. It was, like the crowning acheivement of my cooking life. And I can fry a mean shnitzel.

Zodiac Sign: Um...The one that corresponds to December 31? I think it's, like Capricorn. Hold on....ah, the joy of google. Capricorn it is. I am vaguely close to the personality that this site alleges. In some ways. But, puh-lease. I would have said that for any of them

I tag...anyone who reads this.
