I need mercy. No, really.

aruanSo, the closest thing to anything aloe-containing I had at home turned out to be a bottle of baby oil, from two winters ago when my skin was so dry it's not worth reliving. It's probably not what I should be using on it, but it'll have to do until tomorrow, when I can make it to Publix.
Memery:
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
Toledo, Ohio, and Dependencies - from the AP Stylebook entry on Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. Uh, most entries are much more useful.
2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
The faux-wood wall of the Alligator office.
3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Donald Trump on SNL last night. Man should keep his day job, as he has neither rhythm nor acting skills.
4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is:
Daylight savings can bite me, it's so not whatever time it "actually" is. But okay, I'll play - 9:30 p.m.
5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?
9:43 p.m.
6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Someone typing in Sports, the managing editor and photo department manager talking, the copy desk chief giggling.
7: When did you last step outside? what were you doing?
I walked the fifteen minutes to work.
8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at?
Let's assume it means LJ. I checked my mail and Rhys' site.
9: What are you wearing?
My spankin' new sparkly flip-flops, dark brown corduroys, a white tank top because my skin can't bear even the thought of anything touching it, non-matching underthings, my watch, a thumbring, five earrings, and an elastic in my hair.
10: Did you dream last night?
Snogged with JC. Second night in a row. What, I have something on my mind? ;)
11: When did you last laugh?
At myself when I caught my reflection in my room mirror. Even harder when I turned on the light. Neither because anything was funny.
12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Five corkboards (one huge with all kinds of Alligator clippings and the Best of the Week poster), staff mailboxes, numerous award placards, network plugs, a map of Florida, signs cautioning against computer viruses, snoring and not finding someone to cover your shift, a clock, two white boards, pictures and stories the editors tacked up, and career opportunity announcements. I like it lots.
13: Seen anything weird lately?
An episode of I Want A Famous Face and a commercial for a special entitled The Myth of Self-Esteem back-to-back. I'm receiving conflicting messages, but then, what else is new.
14: What is the last film you saw?
The first Star Trek movie. Not as bad as purported, but definitely could've been less contrived, more Kirk/Spock heavy as the latter ones prove, and at least 40 minute shorter.
16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
Airfare and tickets for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
walkingshadow to come along on my April cross-country Chasez jaunt.
17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:
My eight-grade English teacher has me pegged for bodice-ripper noveling. Do short stories featuring only boys count?
18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
I'd close up the ozone layer and reverse the Greenhouse Effect.
19: Do you like to dance?
Love to, whether it's choreographed or just pretending to know what I'm doing at a club.
20: George Bush: is he really doing Dick Cheney?
He wishes.
21a: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:
It used to be Julianne, but I've pretty much appropriated the name Jules as my own. Something long enough to look pretty if she ever wants to put it on a piece of jewelry.
21b: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:
Drew Alexander
22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:
Sure. France would be nice for a while, even if it wasn't Paris proper. England would be a kick. Australia was laid-back yet hip, which was cool.
My managing editor keeps wincing when she walks by. I'm beginning to feel the first inklings of pain myself. Ow.
