an idea blatantly ripped off from Kristin
Nickname: JessaJune (duh), Jessa, Jess
Last birthday cake: Chocolate. Duh.
Date that you regularly blow candles out: May 8
Pets: Two adorable troublemaking Siamese-mix cats
Eye color: Hazel, tending towards green
Hair color: Dark brown
Piercing: Ears, but I hardly ever wear anything in them
Tattoo: No, thank you
How much do you love your job: Hey, I'm employed in Silicon Valley at a company that's not about to go under. I suppose I don't really have much to complain about.
Favorite color: Green -- the shade changes over time. Currently I hover between sage and forest.
One pillow or two: A very flat one, or else a folded blanket. I get fewer headaches that way. I don't know why, don't ask.
Hometown: Saratoga, CA
Current Residence: Palo Alto, CA
Loved somebody so much it made you cry: Oh, yeah. A lot.
Hopeless romantic or non-romantic?: I like to think of myself as a practical romantic.
Been in a car accident: Yes -- just minor fender-bender stuff, though, and (praise be) not in my new (does 3 years count as new?) car
Croutons or bacon bits: Neither. (but real bacon in a spinach salad... now that's not bad.)
Sprite or 7 UP: Not much of a soda drinker. BUT I adore Stewart's ginger beer. Mmm.
Coffee or ice cream?: I have, alas, mostly given up caffeine. And decaf coffee sucks (at least compared to regular). So, ice cream. (maybe coffee ice cream?)
Favorite Holiday: Hard split between Halloween and Christmas. Depends on the year.
Favorite day of the week: Well, Wednesdays we get free lunch... but Saturday is the day I'm free to do whatever...
Favorite word or phrase: It changes! How about... "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" (Gandalf, Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring)
Favorite Toothpaste: Tom's of Maine Gingermint. Yes, they make that; yes most people think it's disgusting. I love it.
Favorite Flower: Lavender. It looks cool, smells good, and you can eat it. Can't beat that.
Drink: I drink an astonishing amount of water. I'm tired of herbal tea. Oh, how I miss coffee. Alcoholic? A Godmother is always nice. Or decently old Scotch.
Favorite Sport to watch: Not really much of a sports fan. Do equestrian events count?
Favorite Sesame Street Character: Wow, I can hardly remember Sesame street characters... only Muppet Show ones. How about Sunffleupugus? No, maybe the Count!
Disney or Warner Bros: Gotta be Disney
Favorite Fast Food Restaurant: In-N-Out
When was your last hospital visit: I don't remember. Maybe when I had my foot operation in '95?
What color is your bedroom carpet: Generic Apartment Tan. At least the cat hair doesn't show too much.
How many times did you fail your drivers test: None -- I squeaked by with a couple of points to spare.
One place you would like to travel: Now that I've been to Ireland, I'm not sure! I'd like to go back to Spain and see Barcelona. And more of Italy.
Which single store would you choose to max out your credit: Amazon.com. Mmmm, books.
What do you do most often when you are bored: Read, read, read. Play on the computer. Read.
Most annoying thing: Stupid people. They're everywhere.
Bedtime: Depends on where I am and who I'm with. My body's preference is around 10:30. (and me a former theater person! I know, it's shameful...)
HTML Editor: Cute HTML. C'mon, it's got a happy name. Before that it was just notepad, so this is luxurious.
