Day 5 – your favorite quote

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” unknown

Day 4 – your favorite book
Oh really. You really think I could pick a favorite out of all the books I have? Honestly?

Day 3 – your favorite television program

My favorite television program hands down is NCIS. I’m scheduled to get Season 7 tomorrow.

My favorite television program that I actually get to watch when it first airs is Glades.  The season finale is Sunday.

Day 2 – your favorite movie

My favorite movie is Toy Story 2.

My favorite Christmas movie is White Christmas.

A – ACCENT: I don’t think that I have an accent, though if I’m around people who have a noticeable one I can start picking aspects of it up.  I do use a tiny bit of Pittsburghese and some New England phrases.

B – BREAST SIZE: Bigger than I like.  Much bigger than I like.  Trust me, being big isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.

C – CHORE YOU HATE: Changing the kitty litter.

D – DAD’S NAME: Stephen

E – ESSENTIAL MAKE-UP ITEM: I don’t tend to wear make up. I like eye make up and light lip stuff.  I do have lip stuff in my purse, though I’m more likely to put it on for the moisturizing aspect of it.

F – FAVORITE PERFUME: Sweet Pea from Bath & Body Works

G – GOLD OR SILVER: Silver.  Or platinum plated silver.  Which is awesome right now since the price of gold is sky rocketing.  Though I could do with white gold.

H – HOMETOWN: Economy Borough, PA. Facebook won’t acknowledge it because it doesn’t have it’s own zip code.

I – INSOMNIA: Not anymore. Though it can take me some time to actually get asleep.

J – JOB TITLE: Order Entry Technician or Order Completion Technician, depending on who you ask.  The former makes more sense since I don’t finish the orders.

K – KIDS: None…and I don’t want any.

L – LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: Um, living in the loft upstairs in my mother’s house with my cat.

M – MOM’S BIRTHPLACE: She lived in Arlington, MA though she may have been born in Boston, MA (the nearest big city).

N – NUMBER OF APPLES YOU’VE EATEN: I eat at a minimum of 4 a week.  Gala.  With dinner.

O – OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS: Two.

P – PHOBIA: Insects, though the severity depends on how well controlled my depression is.  It’s down to nothing at the moment.

Q – QUEST: My current one is to knit socks.  And unpack/organize my books.

R – RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: I’m Christian, Anglican (though I started out in a United Methodist church and was baptized in an Episcopalian church.  Schism. ‘Nough said.)

S – SIBLINGS: A younger sister Debbie who is a married pilot with a house who wants at least 4 kids last I heard.  She has more wrinkles than I do, though.  Undiluted sun through a cock pit window.

T – TIME YOU WAKE UP: 10:49 am 4 days a week.  Random on the other three.

U – UNNATURAL HAIR COLORS YOU’VE WORN: My hair has never been unnatural.  Darker or lighter brown, and for a while an ugly shade of blond.
V – VEGETABLE YOU REFUSE TO EAT: Rhubarb (is that a veggie?)

W – WORST HABIT: Cursing when I get frustrated.  Forgetting things.

X – X-RAYS YOU’VE HAD: Goodness gracious, I’ve had a bunch.

Y – YUMMY FOODS YOU MAKE: Ham in pineapple.

Z – ZANY QUIRK: I can be very literal, don’t have a dirty mind, and find word misuses (?) funny.

Rising Sign is in 15 Degrees Libra
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. “Peace and harmony at all costs” is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.
Sun is in 07 Degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and to art as well. At times, you are very indecisive you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one- on-one encounter and make the most of it.

Moon is in 07 Degrees Aquarius.
Very freedom-oriented, you must always be able to do what you wish, no matter what. You become stubborn and recalcitrant when others try to force you into a mold. You are a true democrat — you are not a follower, but you enjoy being with those who are like-minded. You appreciate emotional self-control — you practice it yourself and you look for it in others. You solve problems, including emotional ones, with your brains and intellect, not your feelings. Try to be tolerant of those who have powerful and obvious emotional responses — not everyone is as objective, cool, dispassionate and detached as you are.

Mercury is in 21 Degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste — your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Venus is in 17 Degrees Libra.
A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone. Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work!

Mars is in 03 Degrees Leo.
You are a very proud person. Strong, bold, courageous and self-possessed, you love to be the one to initiate significant actions. When people expect a lot of you, you respond positively and will work hard in order to maintain their respect. But when your dignity or pride is threatened, you tend to become sarcastic, arrogant and domineering. Try not to take any challenge or resistance that you meet as a personal affront. You are very stubborn about your right to live your life according to your own principles.

Jupiter is in 00 Degrees Virgo.
You feel most expansive and at ease with yourself when you are doing something that you consider to be practical or useful. You enjoy being dutiful and carrying out responsibilities. You gladly take on the little tasks that others seem to want to avoid. At times, you carry things to extremes and feel guilty anytime you do something that you consider to be self-indulgent. While it is appropriate for you to demand little for yourself in life, try to loosen up once in a while — go out on a fling and enjoy yourself!

Saturn is in 19 Degrees Virgo.
Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let “order” become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self- esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won’t fail very often because you are such a perfectionist.

Uranus is in 18 Degrees Scorpio.
You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune is in 18 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the “global village.”

Pluto is in 18 Degrees Libra.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society’s attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments — they will not be entered into lightly.

N. Node is in 08 Degrees Virgo.
You’re usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you’re very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don’t get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don’t waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

I would say, after watching the movie (which is one of my faves and the reason why I have the video cassette and Blu-ray version of it), that walking in the face of a twister is very hard. I do hope I never have to find out for myself!
