From ZeroShapiro

1. Who eats more?
I think we eat about the same amount, but I eat more frequently and smaller portions in each sitting.

2. Who said “I love you” first?
He did. It took me quite by surprise and then made me happier and more confused than I had ever been.

3. Who is the morning person?
I wouldn't say he's a morning person per se, but he wakes up faster, requires less sleep and doesn't necessarily need caffeine to feel like a fully functioning human.

4. Who sings better?
He does. But I do alright.

5. Who’s older?
Him by 3 years.

6. Who’s smarter?
Him. But I know more useless trivia!

7. Who’s temper is worse?
Mine, I think. It's pretty rare that he gets bothered by anything, actually.

8. Who does the laundry?
I do more laundry but he pitches in. Housework is a tough issue because we are both very very lazy.

9. Who does the dishes?
This is pretty even.

10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
Facing the bed from the foot? He does.

11. Who’s feet are bigger?
His. God. I'm not a troll lady.

12. Who’s hair is longer?
Mine. And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply.

13. Who’s better with the computer?
Me. But not by a huge margin.

14. Do you have pets?
Yes. Our spoiled little cat children.

15. Who pays the bills?
He pays the house bills and I pay my personal bills like cell and credit card. I also pay for the organic veg. delivery if that counts as a bill.

16. Who cooks dinner?
I'd say it's about 60/40 with me as the 60.

17. Who drives when you are together?
He does. I am not a good driver and driving the 'stang makes me nervous. This may even out a bit more when I inherit the Corolla from my mom. But I'm still not a good driver.

18. Who pays when you go out to dinner?
We take turns, but he probably pays more often in the interest of dinner dates. Which I am happy to accept.

19. Who’s the most stubborn?
We are both pretty stubborn but in mostly non-conflicting ways.

20. Who is the first one to admit when they’re wrong?
Me.

21. Who’s family do you see more?
So far, his. But this year it will probably be pretty even.

22. Who named your pet?
Pets acquired and named pre-relationship.

23. Who kissed who first?
It was a mutual decision discussed beforehand.

24. Who asked who out?
Again, mutual.

26. Who’s more sensitive?
Me me me. But he has his moments.

27. Who’s taller?
Him. It would feel really weird for me to be with someone smaller than myself.

28. Who has more friends?
I'd say he does but that's just based on the Dodecathelon evite list. Of the people we hang out with on a regular basis…well, I'd still say he has more but it's less of a staggering difference.

29. Who has more siblings?
We each have one.

MarkTapioKines once again made a wonderful meme!

1. If you could only wear one color for the rest of your life, and it isn't black or brown, what would you choose?
Being someone who wears all black most of the time (and only feels comfortable that way as well), this would be really really REALLY hard for me. But I do wear and feel cute in red sometimes so I guess it would be red. Nothing but red dresses. That might actually be kind of cool.

2. If all your expenses were paid, would you be a “space tourist” (in 2008, not far in the future)?
Dear god, no. Did you SEE Sunshine? Space is fucking terrifying.

3. What does/did your father do for a living?
He is currently a CEO at Interbake Foods.

4. What does/did your mother do for a living?
She was a teacher at first, and then became a homemaker and is currently an unmarried homemaker studying Raike.

5. Which social network do you like more, MySpace or Facebook?
I like Facebook, but I haven't yet found anything useful about it other than killing time. Whereas MySpace actually got me a writing job.

6. Do you prefer AC/DC with Bon Scott or with Brian Johnson?
Doesn't really matter to me. I'm not really a fan of either incarnation.

7. Would you rather give up meat or give up alcohol? (If you already abstain from one, substitute “cheese” for it.)
Another tricky one for Baxter! So I've already given up meat, (15 years) which leads me to believe that MAYBE it would be easier to give up cheese because I can alleviate the cravings by reading vegan pamphlets. Whereas all my friends drink, so that would create social issues. Either way, I would lose a LOT of weight here. I choose cheese. (But not really!)

8. Would you rather be buried or cremated after you're dead?
As stipulated in my will, I would rather be cremated. I'm sure it won't much matter to me either way after I'm gone, but coffins, headstones and plots are so needlessly expensive and that expense would be on someone else. I'd rather my loved ones take a fun vacation to scatter my ashes then have to plan a big expensive funeral.

9. How many weddings have you attended since you turned 18?
7 (including the lovely Booberg wedding this past weekend). Not all that many, really. I think most of my friends are late bloomers.

10. How many of those happily married couples have since gotten divorced?
1. And they were friends of my boyfriend at the time. So I'd like to think my friends marry for keeps.

11. It's late night and you have the munchies. Sweet or savory?
Sweet. And then savory. Or both at once.

12. Provided that all expenses were paid (including rent or mortgage on your current home) and your current job (if any) would take you back when you return, would you be willing to move to Paris, France on January 1, 2008 and stay there for a full year?
Like Mark, if I could bring Brugos and our cats, MAAAAYBE. But I'm not all that into France and I would really miss my friends. However, I'm sure the circumstances and stakes of such an offer would make a good book so perhaps that could be my incentive.

13. Name one thing your romantic partner does NOT do that you wish he or she did (if no current partner, use recent):
Clean the house. The disclaimer here is that I am also very messy. I wish he were a neat freak so that he would either enjoy cleaning the house so that I don't have to or that I would be guilted into being neater myself. Instead, we both live like pigs.

14. While out at a movie, what do you eat and drink?
I often bring in my own booze. Screw-capped mini bottles of champagne are delightful for this purpose. And quiet. I like popcorn and nachos from the snack bar but don't buy them all that often.

15. Would you rather go out to see a friend's band or see a friend act in a play (assuming that said friend is talented)?
Band. While the friends who would invite me to a play are very talented people, their colleagues (and often, the directors) are less so.

16. Do you still use a landline at home for telephone conversations?
I do not. This proved to be an issue recently when I tried to hire a plumber from Mr. Rooter. The message on their 800 number detects that you are calling from a cell phone and asks that you enter your land line number. When you can't, it hangs up on you.

17. What's the worst experience you've ever had with a police officer?
Driving through Eastern Washington, NOT in a pickup truck and with a liberal sticker on the back of the car. They pulled us over twice for going less than 5 miles over the speed limit while people in gun-racked pickup zoomed past us.

18. Have you ever been caught stealing something?
No. I was a bit of a klepto in high school but I was very good.

19. If a restaurant offers you a free after-dinner mint or candy, do you usually eat it?
50% of the time. 100% if it's an Andes mint.

20. Speaking of which, what's your least favorite candy?
Peeps. Gross to eat, but fun to play with!

Hey, everybody! It's a meme!

1. When you're home alone, do you still close the door when you use the restroom?
I only close it if there are guests over.

2. If you have to go grocery shopping, would you rather go alone or with someone?
I tend to prefer to do any kind of shopping alone but grocery shopping goes much faster with 2.

3. It's your friends birthday, do you buy them a gift even though they didn't buy you one for yours?
Depends on how close we are. I don't usually like to go to a birthday party empty handed. But if I see something that someone I know will really like I usually get it for them for their birthday no matter how far off it is. It may seem weird but it saves a lot of last minute panic shopping. I don't really care if people don't get me anything, apart from very specific people.

4. You win the lottery. What do you do?
Retirement fund.

5. Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level?
Reasonable volume.

Morning.

8. Can you watch scary movies alone?
Yep.

It is a rare and joyous occasion when MarkTapioKines creates a meme!

1. In five words or less, describe what you do for a living. (Don't be cute.)
Load streaming video content reeltime.com.

2. If you were worth $40 billion and had already bought and donated everything you wanted to, would you spend $40 million on a beautiful Van Gogh painting?
No. Unless my purchase of it for that price would save it from destruction. $40million is a lot of food for hungry people.

3. Would you spend $40 million on a 200-foot yacht?
Nope.

4. How many times have you been engaged to be married?
Zero times to date.

5. Did you have a steady boyfriend or girlfriend in high school?

THREE MARX BROTHERS-THEMED QUESTIONS:
6. Have you ever had a day at the races?

I LOOOOVE the house I live in now. But it would be nice if the basement were finished and there were a second bathroom. Those are both entirely doable. Also, I think perhaps a designer like of of those Queer Eye guys needs to come in and help me and Brugos organize our clutter.

11. Who is the most famous person you've ever met? (“Met” = at least exchanged two words with face-to-face, preferably shook hands with)
MOST famous, as in person who the average American would have heard of? I suppose it was Crispin Glover.

1830.
