ABCs of Me
Had fun reading others, maybe someone will have fun reading mine.
A - Accent
People always say, you don't sound like you're from Brooklyn. Maybe that's because I grew up in upstate NY? Of course, I've met a lot of people from other parts of the country (& world) who don't realize that you can be from New York and not the city.
B - Breakfast Item
Clif Bar, Toffee Peanut Buzz flavor.
C - Chocolate or chips?
Always salty over sweet. My mom used to put pepperoni in my stocking instead of chocolate because I loved it so much more.
D - Dad's Name
Same as my brother's.
E - Essential everyday item
Chapstick or lip balm.
F - Favorite film
I think we've covered this.
G - Gold or Silver
Always silver. I think gold makes me look crass.
H - Hometown
NYC. I've lived in Brooklyn for 12 years, before that Queens for 5. The longest I'd been in one home before that was 4 1/2 years. Neither of my parents lives in a place where I grew up, so I when I visit them I'm never "going home." Also, some of my ancestors were among those who first settled NYC - there is a statue in Battery Park honoring my ancestor.
I - Icecream flavor
No ice cream, but would sometimes kill for Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked (choc chip cookie dough & brownie) frozen yogurt.
J - Job
Yup.
K- Kids
Nope.
L - Living arrangements
Alone, with fish.
M - Mom's Birthplace
Near an army base, where Grandma met Grandpa. He was in Europe fighting WWII when she was born.
N - Number of significant others you've ever had
Define significant. Okay, I've had several good relationships, but I don't think ever "the one." (That's way harder to admit than I'd thought.)
O - Overnight hospital stays
Seven years old, one week, eye injury. I wore a patch and people brought me presents.
P - Phobia
Mice. Heights. Deep water. Oh, did you want just one?
Q - Queer
No, but many of my friends are.
R - Rock or pop
I'm too old for pop.
S - Siblings
Yes - both birth and step.
T - Time you wake up
5:30-6:00, no matter when or where I am. Haven't used an alarm in a long time.
U - Unnatural hair colors you've worn
I don't know my natural color, it's been that long. I think by now it's 100% gray (my mom was gray at 29, so I know where I get it.) The roots definitely come in that way. In the 80's I used a lot of henna and can see now in pictures how horribly brassy I looked in the sun.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat
I don't think there are any. Not a big corn on the cob fan, but corn is more starchy than most anyway.
W - Worst habit
Procrastinating.
X - X-rays you've had
Just in the last year: chest x-ray, ankle.
Y - Yummy
Still stuck on Ben & Jerry's. (It's close to lunch time here.) Boys? David Duchovny's my type - tall, thin, brunette, slightly geeky.
Z - Zodiac sign
Virgo. (Isn't it painfully obvious?)

David Duchovny?
I cannot see it myself, but my lady certainly has been moved by him at times...
