2. WHAT COLOR PANTS ARE YOU WEARING?

3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
Nothing. I'm a musician; generally when I'm home I want quiet. (Plus there's no game on tonight.)

35. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Scrabble

36. WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?
Played a game of Bookworm that lasted an hour and a half (why do I do this to myself?! I wish they would make it harder), folded laundry, had a shower, slept badly.

37. FAVORITE SMELLS?
I have awful sinuses, so smell rarely. These days I especially appreciate lavender, fresh cookies, roses, red wine. I am relieved when I lose my sense of smell again if I have to work in the pressroom.

MORNING?
See #6

39. How old where you when you went on your first date?

Like? That's different. Personality, always.

32. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS?
Three bed semi near potent allergens. Children come to stay. Mostly round at Sarah's, working.

33. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING?

34. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
The picture looks like a sunflower that's drunk too much orange juice peering over a wall. It's always in danger of disappearing under lingerie catalogues (FOR WORK PURPOSES!)
