A meme is a good way to wind down the day

So I e-mail, post on a board, do some other things, and I've run out of things to wind down. But since Mom and Katie both posted a meme, I figured I'd keep it in the family. So here goes nothing!

1. What is your occupation? Student... more immediately, math tutor.
2. What color are your socks right now? A medium brown, about like the leather cover of a dictionary.
3.What are you listening to right now? "Don't Make Me Come to Vegas," Tori Amos.
4. What was the last thing that you ate? Two bowls of cereal for dinner (by the time I got done with work, I didn't feel like going out... and I didn't eat cereal for breakfast, so it balances out).
5. Can you drive a stick shift? No. But Leslie has promised to teach me sometime. And maybe Papaw will randomly acquire a manual truck again sometime.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? The first thing that came to mind was cadmium, but that is an element, though one that is used in paint pigments, including some crayons, according to Wikipedia's entry on cadmium. So I'll assume I'm operating on some other level of existence in my sleepiness, descend from it, and say midnight blue.
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone? Angelique. She was wanting to know another person's phone number. It's all Model UN stuff.
8. Do you like the person who sent this to you? I think I can say that.
9. Favorite drink? Dr. Brown's Cherry Soda.
10. What is your favorite sport to watch? Commonly baseball or cycling, but especially the Olympics.
11. Have you ever dyed your hair? No.
12. Pets? None.
13. Favorite food? Don't make me pick. It won't be pretty. I generally go with the staple, bread.
14. Last movie you watched? Um. My. My oh my. A while ago. In theaters, Juno. Otherwise, it has to be... Dragons.
15. Favorite Day of the year? Unplottable on a calendar basis. I like it shortly after going on break, when I've seen my family but I'm not restless yet, and then after I get restless and I see Leslie. I like big family gatherings, and big gatherings with people I like in general, and during the year they don't happen nearly enough.
16. What do you do to vent anger? I do two things. I get heated, more agitated, but I also withdraw at the same time. Normally after a while I can reflect on it. Until then I normally grind donuts all over my mind trying to work it out.
17. What was your favorite toy as a child? I have to say, out of everything I played with (and we had a lot to play with), it would be the Commodore 64, yeah.
18. What is your favorite, fall or spring? Fall.
19. Hugs or kisses? Both. They each have moments.
20. What kind of pie? Apple pie!
21. Do you want your friends to email you back? Oh, this must be from an e-mail.
22. Who is most likely to respond? You.
23. Who is least likely to respond? John Adams. Because he's dead.
24. Living arrangements? A dormitory. Good location.
25. When was the last time you cried? I teared up briefly tonight, when I was glad that things went so well yesterday and today. I do a fair bit of tearing up. But I haven't really, unabashedly cried in a long while.
26. What is on the floor of your closet? Bowling bag, luggage, and pants I didn't get around to washing yet.
27. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending this to? To quote Scott, "This is my friend Mom."
28. The friend you have known the shortest amount of time that you are sending this to? Anyone randomly hitting this site? Probably you.
29. Favorite smell? Currently, all I can think of is the smell of bacon.
30. What inspires you? Too broad of a question. Lots of stuff. Literature, professors, teachers, people, stories in general, science fiction and fantasy, the National Air and Space Museum and anything having to do with space travel or exploration, medieval ideals of chivalry, tons of other ideas and other things from all over.
31. What are you afraid of? Not being accepted to grad school the first time around.
32. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers? Chicken nuggets.
33. Favorite car? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugo ... no, I don't really have a favorite car, but I do have fond memories of the Ford Thunderbird and such.
34. Favorite cat breed? Right now, probably a leopard.
35. Number of keys on your key ring? 5
36. How many years at your current job? Being a student, it could be 4, but I could argue for... 16? ;) Being a tutor, two years. Both of these are rounding up.
37. Favorite day of the week? Saturday, though now that I'm done with Model UN I should be able to enjoy my Fridays free again. :) It's between them two. Wednesday gets a third, because it's the other night of the week I don't have anything going on.
38. How many states have you lived in? 2.

And, a brief thing about Model UN. I've done it four years now. When I started, I never would've forseen myself leading it. There were people in my year that were far more competent at it than me, pretty well organized... but they either transferred (Jeremy), dropped out (Clinton), or what not. The result was me and another member (who dropped out this year without the decency of letting us know). And now I'm going to graduate in May, and I believe I'm the only one graduating (we're a fairly young team, with a core group of juniors, a couple of sophomores, and a lot of freshmen). It's been a maddening process, and there's more of it tomorrow, and I've ranted to Leslie several times about the frustrations in the process, and how it has essentially swallowed up time I would rather use, could rather use, and perhaps needed to use for other things, but ... I will miss it. I will miss it. If I did this a second year, I would do it so much better. But I'm leaving it in good hands. And now I can let go. And that is good too. Because the third option, making myself immortal and allowing myself to forgo sleep if I need to, is outside the realm of current possibility.
