shadowkat
AGE
old
BED SIZE
Full. The cat takes his tiny portion on top of where my legs happen to be.
CAT NAME
Sirius Black, the Kitty Cat (see my icon)
DOG NAME
I don't have one, now, but have fond memories of Cocoa (the red cocker), Crash (half black lab, half moose) and Sandy (German Shepard mix).
EYE COLOR
Blue, everyone in my family had blue eyes, except my mother who had hazel eyes.
FAVORITE COLOR
Blue-green. It was orange when I was in first grade. But I soon discovered I couldn't wear orange.
DO GHOSTS EXIST
Only in ghost stories.
HEIGHT
5'8" and shrinking with age.
INSTRUMENTS PLAYED
I played the mandolin for many years, but arthritis makes that very painful now.
JEALOUS TYPE
No. Maybe I'd have tried harder if I got jealous.
KIDS
No.
LONGEST RELATIONSHIP
A couple years.
MOOD RIGHT NOW
Is groggy a mood? I'm having sinus infection problems at the moment.
NIGHT OWL
No. I'm a morning person. I do my best work within a few hours of getting out of bed. The only time I regularly stayed up past midnight was when I was teaching an evening class. I'd come home, watch the late movie on TV and get up at noon...
OVERNIGHT STAYS IN HOSPITAL
Not since I was brought home when I was born.
PET PEEVE
Willful ignorance.
ANNOYING QUESTION
"Can I help you?" The answer is almost always 'no.'
RIGHT OR LEFT-HANDED
Right. My sister informed me that I was left-handed as a toddler, but taught to be right-handed. It meant I couldn't throw worth a darn, but otherwise it's okay with me.
SIBLINGS
One brother, one sister, both gone now.
FAVORITE TV SHOW
Don't have one right now. I watch old westerns these days mostly to spot the guest stars and bit players who later became famous.
FAVOURITE UNCLE
Uncle Charlie who lived to be 90.
VACATION PLANS
You are in trouble if you need a vacation from retirement!
FELLOW TRAVELLER
My sister and I went on a couple road trips when I was still working. I was glad she and my brother went together once. He never took off enough time.
XBOX OR NINTENDO 64
Nintendo 64? Yikes, I thought I was old! I currently have an XBOX.
YUMMY FOOD
I had pork ribs tonight, does that qualify?
FAVORITE ANIMAL AT THE ZOO
It depends on the zoo. It was bears, walrus and Orang-utans at the St. Louis zoo growing up. It was gibbons at the Copenhagen zoo (they had a giant tree full of them.) It was giraffes at a for profit zoo near Phoenix (got to feed them up close, from a platform up near their heads).
