Q: How many jobs have you had, and which was your favorite? Hmmm, they've all been academic jobs. I'd say 7. My favorite has to be my post doc position; I got to live in Colorado and program computers all the live long day? sigh me up for that
Q: When did you first connect to other people via computers? Highschool, junior or senior years so 1995? It was thru BBS and er that was a phone bill for sure....
Q: Were/are you on AOL? Compuserve? LJ? Dreamwidth? A Listserv? Other? MSN; then I did LJ and DW. I did have an AOL account for the messenger service.
Q: If you went to college, does your major match your career/current job? Yes.
Q: Have you had a mammogram? Colonoscopy? Nope to either.
Q: When did you get your first cell phone? What was it like? (Did it have a screen? Could you text? Was it a brick or flip?) Oh goodness I'd say 2000? I legit don't remember. It was a flip phone; a Casio model; only calls. And really, really large.
Q: When did your family first acquire a color TV? I want to say 1982. It was a Zenith.
Q: When did your family acquire a second TV? I want to say 1983 or 84? I just remembered; it was a tiny Panasonic? B&W model for my grandma.
Q: Did you ever own “designer jeans”? No.
Q: Have you ever been to a disco? No.
Q: How many places (towns, states, countries) have you lived in? Countries 2. States 4. Towns 7.
Q: Have any of your contemporary friends died? (i.e., people more or less your age.) I know of several FB friends who have; in RL one of my cousins only a few years older than me, died some 20 years ago.
Q: Are you parents still living? Yes.
Q: Do you have any gray hairs? Oh lord.
Q: Did you or your family own a Betamax? No just VHS - top loader too.
Q: How did you spend New Year’s Eve 1999/2000? Agonizing about my grades probs.
Q: What’s the oldest article of clothing you still wear? A Spyder snow jacket that's pushing 20 years. I wear it once in a while. Still the best jacket I've ever owned.
Q: Do you eat your vegetables? Yes.
Q: Are the privileges of adulthood worth the responsibilities? Um, no. Nothing is worth this.
Q: Do you feel like an adult? No! Why? Gross!
Q: Is youth wasted on the young? What?
