Will She Post Again?

[bcholmes]

LAYER ONE : THE OUTSIDE

Name: BC Holmes
Birthday: November 10th, 1966. The day I turned 9, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank.
Current Location: The office in my home, Toronto
Eye Colour: Brown
Hair Colour: Brown
Zodiac Sign: Very very Scorpio

LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE

Your fears: Dismemberment. (No, the irony is not lost on me).
Your perfect pizza: Pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, green pepper. Lots of tomato sauce. Enough cheese.
Goal for future: re-kouche

LAYER THREE:

Your thoughts first waking up today: "Guh"
Your best physical feature: I've received the most compliments on my eyes. But me, I think my best physical feature is having a large bladder.
Your bedtime: Midnight-ish
Your most missed memory: I frequently forget names. Especially if I haven't seen them written down. I have lots of memories of people whose names I can't remember.

LAYER FOUR:
Pepsi or Coke: Coke.
McDonald's or Burger King: Harvey's. (I refuse to stay within the bounds of the binary).
Adidas or Nike: Nope. Reebok. I've buy the same style of simple black Reebok shoe again and again. I have two pair in unopened boxes under my bed for when the current ones wear out. I never buy the swoosh.
Lipton tea or Nestea: I'm not a big tea drinker. Maybe Tetley? (Or Red Rose. "Only in Canada? Pity.")
Chocolate or vanilla: Both serve important purposes
Cappuccino or coffee: Usually coffee. And I'm a huge coffee snob, willing to pass judgement on coffee at the drop of a hat.

LAYER FIVE: DO YOU?
Lie: No. You believe me, don't you?
Take a shower: Every other day.
Think you're in love: Yes.
Believe in yourself: Cockily so.

LAYER SIX: EVER?
Been on stage: Heh. Yeah. Once or twice. And, look... that thing with the Millennium Falcon? It just happened, okay?
Eaten Sushi: Yup. I hooked more than one partner on sushi. Mmmm... unagi... drool....
Gone skating: Yeah. Never much cared for ice skating (too cold, usually). But I learned to roller skate at about the same time I learned to walk. (This is not to say I'm especially talented at roller skating. I just learned very, very early).
Dyed your hair: No. There was a period in early university when I bleached a streak in my hair and could spray it different colours to match my outfit. We try not to think about those days.

LAYER SEVEN:RANDOM
Gotten beaten up: Many times.
Changed who you were to fit in: It's interesting what connotations this question has. I've adapted my behaviour in a lot of environments. Negotiating my place in a new environment is an exercise in learning new things about who I am and what I believe. There are some things about me that are just kinda the way I am, though.

LAYER EIGHT: AGE
Are you old?: Define old.
How old are you?: 40
What grade are you in?: 35.
What did you do for your last birthday: Had dinner with my sweetie.

LAYER NINE: THE OPPOSITE APPROPRIATE WHATEVER SEX
Best eye colour: Silver with purple flecks. Or, uh, are we limiting "best" only to colours that occur in nature?
Best hair colour: I've often fallen for women with red hair. And I confess that purple now catches my attention.
Clothing style: Whatever suits.

LAYER TEN: WHAT WERE YOU DOING
1 minute ago: reading Wikipedia
1 hour ago: Taking a bath
1 year ago: Nothing memorable.

LAYER ELEVEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE
I love: pie! And the_siobhan
I feel: a keyboard
I hate: being cold
I hide: bitter commentary in code comments
I miss: pre-9/11 politics
I need: air, water, food.
I want: superpowers!

How do you define "enough cheese"?

[bcholmes.livejournal.com]

I know it when I see it. But "not enough cheese" is a pizza-killer for me.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

Me too. In my world, there's no such thing as too much cheese (but you probably knew that already).

Now, are you a cheese purist when it comes to your pizza? Me, I like to have a wide variety of cheeses to choose from. Asiago, goat, feta, monterey jack, mozzarella, parmesan....

But me, I think my best physical feature is having a large bladder.

i think i love you.

also, i'm envious. envious, i tell you!

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

It's definitely the most useful.

[kightp.livejournal.com]

You beat me to it.

My doctor declared mine officially "small" during an exam a few years back and it felt kind of good to be vindicated for all those years of forcing people to take unscheduled pit stops while traveling.

[kalmn.livejournal.com]

actually, i am finding it good for my knees while travelling. seriously! i keep a diet coke in the car, and when ye olde bladder says time to get out of the car and pee, usually i open the door, throw myself at the ground, and once i've managed to stretch my legs out so they'll straighten again, i'm good to hobble to the bathroom. ;)

One of my great dissappointments was that removal of my uterus didn't free up more space for storage.

[kightp.livejournal.com]

There is no justice.

I hide: bitter commentary in code comments

Seester. Well, used to, at least - I don't really code anymore. But all my best snarks are hidden in code somewhere.

Oo! A coffee snob!

Have you eaten at Addis Ababa? If so, have you had the coffee service? I've been trying to find a coffee snob who could report to me about whether their coffee really *is* superior there and also whether inhaling the frankincense prior to drinking the coffee really *does* enhance the flavour.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THEIR COFFEE!

[epi-lj.livejournal.com]

Wow! How do you REALLY feel? ;)

[bcholmes.livejournal.com]

I have eaten there, but it was a long time ago, so I'm not sure.
