******9/8*****

What was your favouritest job ever, and why? Teaching (college-level). I get really excited about interacting with students when they're tuned in and engaged, and I love being there for the click moment when suddenly the get it -- and more often than not, I learn from my students, too.

Which three albums would you take to your apocalypse bolt hole and how would you power the generator? Answered in thread.

What GC scent have you been putting off getting since it'll "always be there"? Answered in thread.

Are you interested in things like home remedies for ailments, cleaning solutions, etc.? Definitely! Especially if you've got anything for mosquito bites... (Yesterday afternoon/evening was so lovely that I thought I'd spend some time in the back yard reading and watching the doggies cavort. I lit up the anti-mosquito tiki torches... but that didn't keep them from munching on my feet. Present count: 11 bites on my right foot, 10 bites on my left. Mosquitos lurve me, and I react pretty strongly to the bites. Grumph.)

Any cooks? Could you use anything cooking related? Aprons? Cookbooks? Measuring Cups? Recipes? Herb/Spice containers? Fancy Spices? Dish Towels? Cocktail napkins? Amazing Beaded Pot Holders? (like from our very own Pottersville! ) Something else? Answered in thread, I think.

Are you an avid reader? What's your favorite book/series Definitely an avid reader, but I can never really pick a favorite book or even series. Love Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, love J.D. Robb's In Death series, am getting into and really enjoying Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series, and I mentioned my favorite authors in my questionnaire, I believe...

What's your favorite candy to stock up on at Halloween? I love the wide variety you can get of sample size candies this time of year, actually.

What are your phobias? Bugs, especially moths and spiders. It's not exactly a phobia, as I'm happy to let them do their thing outside, I just want them to keep a good distance away from me. Inside, of course, all bets are off.

What is your favourite flower (or plant)? Love roses, especially on the bush, love carnations, love snap dragons, love lilies, love aloe plants, love sunflowers...

Duct tape purses and wallets and things are pretty darned cool. Who else thinks so? Definitely cool! But not something I'm particularly interested in for myself.

An anonymous benefactor gives you $500 (or an equivalent amount of money in your currency of choice) with the following stipulations. You must spend all of it within a week: any money left unspent must be returned. You must spend at least half of the money on yourself. You may not use it to pay off debts or bills of any kind. What do you do with the money? Let's see: iPod classic, a nice dinner at the local French restaurant for me and my Boy (we've always wanted to go there, but it's a little more expensive than we can swing), and clothes and BPAL with whatever's left. Easy-peasy.

Who likes coloring books? Totally! (I think I expanded on this thought in thread.)

Do you have a Good Reads profile? If so, make with the link! If you don't have one, go make one! Answered in thread.
