Aug. 4th, 2003 01:48 pmThis is one of those questionnaires that passes around via e-mail and poses a minor dilemma: If I don't reply, am I being rude? If I do reply, to whom? Many of the people on the send list are strangers to me. I could simply follow instructions and send it back to the sender and to a bunch of other friends, but most of those other friends have probably seen it by now. I could just send it back to the sender, but somehow that feels weird. (If, at 35, I am thrown by this, how on earth do high-schoolers deal with it?)
My solution: post it here.
What color are your kitchen plates?
A wide variety of colors -- I have at least three different sets that all complement each other (through my eyes, at least) and I use them interchangeably.
What are you reading now?
Honestly? The IKEA catalog. The last actual book I read? A Dick Francis novel, Driving Force -- but that was a re-read, so I don't know if it counts.
What's on your mouse pad?
A many-times-enlarged photo of sperm.
Favorite board game?
Careers -- at least until they developed the spin-off, Careers for Girls, which just pissed me off.

A tie between The New Yorker and People
