10. What is your writing implement preference?
Sharpie. I don't have much opportunity to use them, but I love them.
i cant think of any at the moment that *I* dont know the meaning of (though im sure there are PLENTY) but one phrase that drives me batty when other people get wrong is "care less." too many people say "i could care less" when it SHOULD be "i COULDNT care less." the whole point is that you care the least amount possible, and its not possible to care any less than you do! if you say "i could care less" then it means you actually DO care a little bit.

None of them ever recognized the number~ LOL

YOur eyes.
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them.
Black soft leather flats, Vera Wang Lavender.
10. What is your writing implement preference?
BIC Ballpoint pen. Those you get free from hotels.
Umm. I'm like Cara, I am interested in language so I try to find out what something means all the time. Especially if it's something I hear a lot.
I suppose the word "meta" (in relation to gaming) would be the closest, but I kind of know what it means but not like a straight definition.
2. What word do you HATE? (not new slang. Make it a legit word)
Decimate.
EVERYONE uses it to mean "destroy" or "obliterate" (both equally effective words). As a Latin student, I know decimate broken down should and did mean "to reduce by 10%" (aka not as awesome as obliterating another's army amirite?), but since the word has come to mean something different in common vernacular, I just get to sit and twitch.. and occasionally look like a crazy person when correcting people I know well enough to correct.

Herbed goat cheese (99 cents at aldi, hell yeah!) on club crackers with minestrone soup. Mmm lunch.

Umm.. Hm, I think it would depend on the cat. My cats have always told me their name in one way or another. We have cats named from books, television, history. Currently we have Annabelle (she acts like a Southern Belle having "vapors", and very regal acting), Sammy-crazy-pants shortened to Sammypants most of the time ("Sam" from Samhain since we got him around then and he's all black), Spike (to balance his timid nature), and "Cat's Eye" Gomez (from a book).
6. Favorite cartoon character. (not including muppets)
Ugggggggggggggggggggggh, that's hard. Minerva Mink (god that's a throwback)
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants.
I frequently wish I had another name. I like my great grandmother's name "Malverie Mae Spencer".. I also liked my boy-name alternative (ya know the name I would have gotten had a been a boy?) which was Spencer McKenzie.. I think it would have made a cute name, but my parents were not hipster-y.
My current name doesn't lend towards many nicknames. I have used a few pseudonyms while placing orders or whatever, but nothing consistent. I do have a pen-name "Lena Ridere" (anagram of Irene Adler) but I haven't published anything under it since my current story project got stalled.
8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see?
The hospital bed? My hubby's grandmother had to have a hospital bed moved into the house after her fall and it's directly beside the front door in case of emergencies.
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them.
I am wearing black socks.. however I did just take off my lace up distressed Frye boots. They are brown with a 4 inch heel.

You know those pens that "feel" good when you're writing so you barter with whomever owns it so you have that good writing pen? Yeah those.
N/A
2. What word do you HATE? (not new slang. Make it a legit word)
"No problem" – really, it is "you are welcome" (I hope this qualifies)
3. What is the last thing you ate?
I had a burger at a place that I had passed a hundred times. It was really good!
4. What time did you get up today?
4:50AM, as always. I don't work tomorrow and I will get up at the same time.
5. If someone handed you a kitten and asked you to name it what would you name it? (say you hate cats and you watch how fast I figure out how to ban you from the INTERWEBS. Not that anyone would be you know I like to be fiesty)
If it were another snowshoe like Porter, I would name it Bandit. You know we named Porter after Jamie's favorite style of beer... the foam is the color of our cat. <3
6. Favorite cartoon character. (not including muppets)
Been a while since I watched cartoons, but I loved The Tick.
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants.
I don't wish I had another name, but when I go to a restaurant with my office mates, I use the name of the guy immediately in line behind me. "Really? Two Guo-Pins in a row? How'd that happen?"
8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see?
The kitty litter. Our cat sends it flying.
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them.
I am wearing Red Wing steel toe/steel shank boots. I wear my work boots when I ride Roxie.
10. What is your writing implement preference?
My Mont Blanc pen.
Just kidding, I don't have one. I like to use new fine tip Sharpies if I can. It makes me feel like an architect.
Hillary has way too many nicknames.
2. What word do you HATE? (not new slang. Make it a legit word) "religion" - it sounds like a disease.
3. What is the last thing you ate? A waffle with peanut butter and syrup.

5. If someone handed you a kitten and asked you to name it what would you name it? (say you hate cats and you watch how fast I figure out how to ban you from the INTERWEBS. Not that anyone would be you know I like to be fiesty) Peanut! Haha.
6. Favorite cartoon character. (not including muppets) Ruby Gloom. If you don't know who Ruby is... I'm sorry.
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants. I like to combine my middle name with my first name - HollyElise. Sometimes I wish my parents had just named me that!
8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see? First thing you see - bookshelf fulla random books (mostly sci-fi). Thing I hope you don't see - dust bunnies under the couch.

6. Favorite cartoon character. (not including muppets) Hm...I don't really have an answer for that.
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants. No, no fake name, no different name, no nothing.
8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see? Probably my sons dirty socks. I can't seem to get those kids to pick them up and take them to the laundry room to save my life.
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them. Nope, barefoot, which I usually am unless it's cold.
10. What is your writing implement preference? A nice black gel pen, not too fine. I don't really have a brand preference. I really, really dislike blue ink for some reason. I threw away a perfectly good pen the other day just because it was blue and I don't know how it got in my house. I cringe when I have to fill out paperwork somewhere and they hand me a blue pen, so sometimes I whip out my own pen instead. And come to think of it, that's probably a better idea anyhow because I'm slightly germaphobic.
1. What word or phrase do you hear all the time but honestly don't know what it means?

7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants.

8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see?
Hillary pointed out once that Waffle is on the left and Daisy is on the right. It happens every time regardless which door. I want to try coming in a window once to see if it still works. I hope you don't notice the mess.
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them.
I am not. Wait, do you have a fetish?
10. What is your writing implement preference?
Pilot Razor Points, Sharpie Fine Point Pens, or flare tip anything in black.
I despise blue Paper Mate stick pens. They get all this gunky blue schmeh around the tip that makes me queasy. When I find one I usually throw them away. It's my little way of giving back to the world.

7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants.
I went through a hippie phase in high school where I wanted to be named Rhiannon. I think it stems form the 8 other girls in my grade that had the same name as me...

Will you get over the daylight savings thing? Oy vey. What's wrong with balm? Did you get hooked on razors by the same person I did? I want those purple ones. Where did they go?
@whenlifehandsyouapear you sound like my husband (Dave not dave77459 who is a friend) he also gets twitchy with blue pens.
@holly I use pencils most the time too. I even invested in a dr grip pencil because of that. I even have a nice little case with extra erasers in it. I should take a picture because its so damn cute.

"Martinizing." What the HELL does that mean?

Babs Bunny (Tiny Toons), Uncle Scrooge (Ducktales! Woo oo!), and Homer Simpson (some TV show, or something).
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants.

Books. Books and music. Also Adipose from Doctor Who.

Practical, comfortable, and sneakery.
10. What is your writing implement preference?
Pens just look prettier. Pencils are more fun for drawing.
2. What word do you HATE? (not new slang. Make it a legit word) when I answer interesting questions like this all the answers I would usually have fly outta my head. But I have always disliked 'luxury', especially when it pronounced 'lugzhury'. I will think of more as soon as I post this. *sigh*
3. What is the last thing you ate? The remnants of a Cobb salad, and half a chocolate chip cookie.
4. What time did you get up today? 8:30ish, which is unusual for me; but I had an eye exam. I am a night person, albeit perpetually trying to reform and screwing my sleep cycle up even further lol.
5. If someone handed you a kitten and asked you to name it what would you name it? (say you hate cats and you watch how fast I figure out how to ban you from the INTERWEBS. Not that anyone would be you know I like to be fiesty) Right now I am thinking "Puddles O'Meowly"--a variation on one of my Dad's old jokes. Right now I have two elderly kitties who are "forgetting" to aim for the box so probably puddles are perpetually somewhere in my thoughts.
6. Favorite cartoon character. (not including muppets) Snoopy and Bugs Bunny, a tie.
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants. Julia; sometimes I add Greenwood for the last name.
8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see? Many kitties, all coming to greet and investigate and sniff you and tell you stuff. Probably hoping to con you into feeding them something, too. ;-)
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them. Lavender suede "Simple" brand sneakers. Quite comfy.
10. What is your writing implement preference? A conventional pen with either lavender or aqua ink--my faves. I once read Lewis Carroll always used lavender ink... I also like the new "gel ink" pens as they're so easy on your writing hand. They just glide over the page. Fountain pens are wonderful as well.
1. What word or phrase do you hear all the time but honestly don't know what it means?
Nothing - I have a pretty good vocabulary, and I'm pretty isolated so don't hear a lot of other people talking.
2. What word do you HATE? (not new slang. Make it a legit word)
It's not a word - it's a phrase "my bad". Seriously, if you're sorry say so, if you're not don't try to fake it with some stupid phrase. I especially hate this coming out of older people. It's bad enough coming out of my young adult children.
3. What is the last thing you ate?
A bowl of Lucky Charms - just finished it. It was great.
4. What time did you get up today?
7am - I get up at 7am Monday - Friday to get my kid ready for school.
5. If someone handed you a kitten and asked you to name it what would you name it? (say you hate cats and you watch how fast I figure out how to ban you from the INTERWEBS. Not that anyone would be you know I like to be fiesty)
This happened to me last Thursday. Actually my husband handed me two kittens. We named one Isabella (because if she was rowdy, we could call her Izzy and if she was sweet, we could call her Bella - this name was planned in advance). The second kitty was a surprise. I named her Topaz because it was my mom's birthstone and I still miss my mom.
6. Favorite cartoon character. (not including muppets)
Tinkerbell and Hello Kitty
7. Did you ever wish you had another name? What was it? OR do you have a fake name you use in public sometimes? Like in restaurants.
I was supposed to be named Jennifer, but then I was born with red hair so my mom named me Katherine - not sure why - in French class in high school, we got to pick a "French" name - I chose Renee - that was fun.
8. I just walked in your front door. What is the first thing I see or you hope I DON'T see?
The "art" that I made that is hanging in our living room.
9. Are you wearing shoes? Describe them.
Yes. They are the best shoes ever. They are black clog style shoes with flower cut-outs and peep-toes. They are made by Rialto. Only pair they had. On clearance for 75% off, and I had a coupon.
10. What is your writing implement preference?
Uniball pen. I like that it's like felt tip marker ink in a ball point pen. It feels substantial when you write with it.
