because I am a sucker for such things

autographedcat.

[1] What is your middle name?
Margaret, hence the Meg. My mother is the only person on the planet who still calls me by my first name.

[2] What color is your mailbox?
Like autographedcat, mine's aluminium. I used to have a really pretty wood one, but that's not practical in this climate.

[3] Are you available?
Well, I'm not in a relationship right now, but I'm also actively not wanting one [g].

[4] Have you ever hit a deer?
I haven't, personally. But I was in the car when my first ex hit one once. The story we got after we reported it to the highway patrol was actually worse than the accident itself.

[5] Do you have to drive over a bridge to get home?
From where?

[6] Are you taller than your mom?
About three inches.

[7] What curse do you say the most when you're pissed?
Um... I acquired a rather wide repertoire of cursewords from my second ex, and added more from reading ("Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ," "Ye godlings," and "Hell and damnation" being a few examples from the latter -- bonus points if you can list the sources...). I don't play favorites.

[8] Are you God?
Why on earth would I want to be?

[9] What do you do to get over a broken heart?
Run away, alas.

[10] Do you enjoy writing in colored pens?
Not particularly. For standard use, though, I prefer blue to black.

[11] Does anything hurt on your body right now?
I've got a tight muscle running down my neck onto the left side of my back at the moment. A buckwheat heating pad seems to be helping, though.

[12] Do you often cry during a movie?
Oh, yeah. Not with books, though, for some reason.

[13] Last text message you received?
I don't have a cell phone -- you have to have one to get those, don't you?

[14] Who sent it?
NA

[15] Do you hate your life?
Let's just say I'm glad you didn't ask that a week ago. The mood swing roller coaster does seem to be on its way back up, though. Slowly.

[16] Do you get mad easily?
Yeah, but I don't hold a grudge.

[17] Do you drink?
Occasionally. Not as often as I used to. The peak of my recreational drinking was in library school, almost 20 years ago.

[18] What is your biggest pet peeve?
Traffic jams. Esp. the kind with no visible reason. Accidents I can understand. Otherwise, I don't care what the problem is, I just want the people in the front to get moving, thank you.

[19] Are you cold?
My feet are cold. But my feet have always been cold all my life.

[20] Do any of your friends have kids?
One of my best friends has grandkids [g].

[21] Who should pay on the first date?
Whoever asked, as both Serenesue and Autographedcat said.

[22] How many years older than you are you willing to date?
The relevant data in my past has been how many years younger. My second ex was 5 1/2 years younger than I am. I have dated as far in the other direction, though.

[23] Do you have any friends?
A few, and I cherish 'em.

[24] Do you have any mean friends?
They wouldn't be my friends if they were.

[25] What is the ugliest color in your opinion?
The only time orange is beautiful is in the autumn. I'm not overly fond of chartreuse, either, but they both have their places.

[26] Have you ever dated someone who all your friends couldn't stand?
Not that I'm aware of.

[27] Have you ever felt like driving off a cliff, seriously?
Not that method, no, but see mood swings, question #15.

[28] Have you ever contemplated suicide?
See #27. On several occasions. I have since, like Miles Vorkosigan, come to the conclusion that death will not overlook me if I don't go looking for it (OWTTE).

[29] Do you scratch your ears?
Huh? I scratch whatever itches if I can reach it and it wouldn't be socially embarrassing.

[30] Who was the last person to hug you?
Can't remember off the top of my head.

[31] What brand are the pants/jeans you're wearing right now?
A very old pair of women's Wranglers. There aren't many brands of women's jeans that aren't balloony in the hips while wide enough in the waist, and that's one of them.

[32] How tall are you?
5'3".

[33] What is the closest green object?
The EQ5 Design Cookbook has a green cover. So does a three-ring notebook on my computer desk.

[34] What is on your feet?
Sneakers and knee socks.

[35] If you were born the opposite sex, what would your parents name you?
Heh. I was one last attempt at a boy (I have three older sisters). My parents had a boy's name picked out, but not a girl's name. My oldest sister named me. I would have been named Carl Robert, after my uncle and my father, and would have been called Bobby, as my father was when he was small.

[36] If you could go back to any time period when would it be?
Problem is, I'm kind of attached to modcons. I can do without for a few days, but not much longer. That said, I sent a fictional character back to 1870s Wyoming, and have plans to send another to the Yukon Gold Rush in the 1890s.

[37] Do you want to have kids?
I knew from when I was a very small child that I did not want children of my own. I sometimes think I would have liked being a father, but being a mother? No. And that's the equipment I came with.

[38] What is your favorite color?
Grass green.

[39] Who is the friend you have that you would never have?
Huh?

[40] Who do you hate the most right now?
No.

[41] What's your mother's middle name?
Jean.

[42] What kind of car do you want?
Something that gets incredibly good mileage on a plentiful cheap fuel that doesn't screw up the environment or the food supply. Well, you asked...

[43] What is your favorite video game?
I don't play video games, unless you count the occasional bout of solitaire.

[44] Do you like your dad?
I loved my father very much, but he intimidated me.

[45] Do you have any TV shows on DVD?
A few. Not many.

[46] Are you wearing make up?
No. I only wear makeup when I can't get away without wearing it.

[47] Do you have a tattoo?
Needle phobia. I don't even have pierced ears.

[48] Have you ever broken a pinata?
No.

[49] What time is it right now?
3 pm PDT.

[50] Do you know how to draw?
I can't draw a decent stick figure. I'm one hell of a needleworker, though.

[51] Who loves orange soda?
'S okay. If I'm going to drink soda, though, I prefer something with caffeine.

[52] Who is your hero?
Fictional or otherwise?

[53] Who did you last IM?
I don't.

[54] Do you work a lot of hours?
Currently unemployed in the outer world. I spend a fair amount of time writing, though.

[55] Where were you 24 hours ago?
Volunteering at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.

[56] Who was the last person that called you?
filkferengi

[57] Is there anything you regret?
Yeah.

[58] Do you know where your family name originated from?
It's a Brit name.

[59] Animal that creeps you out?
Slugs.
