ambitious_wenchImagine my surprise when I discovered that RevAlKorn and I share the same birthday. So, in honor of that, I've completed the same silly survey he did. Well, most of it.
General info...
Name: E. Howe
Nick names: Edie, The Wench
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Chanute AFB, Rantoul, Ill
Hometown:Salinas, CA.
Birthday: November 17
Have you ever...
Been in love? Many, many times.
Been on stage? Yes. Many times. I prefer being in a choir, though.
Broken a bone? No. Dislocated my right patella, though, and it tends to go out on me periodicly.
Broke the law? Gleefully.
Called 911? No.
Called a 900 #? Nope. Knew someone who worked on one.
Cheated on a test? No.
Cried over a guy/girl? Yes. Both, actually.
Drank alcohol and gotten caught? You mean, like at work?
Eaten an entire box of Oreos? Silly, Oreos come in cellophane packages, not boxes.
Gone an extended period of time without shaving? I think I'm going on about 6 years now. Hey, YOU ASKED!
Gotten a ticket for speeding? Nope. I'm careful because I don't have the looks (or clergical collar) to get me out of it.
Gotten in a car accident? Yes. Brakes failed at the bottom of Nu'u Anu Pali Pass in Hawaii and I rear ended a car with a pregnant woman in it. She was fine. I wretched my back, and my son split his forehead on the dash. Yes, we were BOTH wearing seatbelts.
Had a medical emergency? Yes. I went into labor at 5 months with my son.
Hiked a mountain? Yes, in Vermont two years ago.
Lied? Yes. The biggest one was denying my sexual identity for the first 28 years of my live.
Lost respect for someone? Too often
Lost friends or loved ones? Too many
Made homemade fudge? Yes, and pulled taffy, too!
Moved? I *was* in the Navy, you know.
Ran away from home? In many ways. I think joining the Navy was my first successful attempt.
Seen the Eiffel Tower? No, but I've seen the labyrinthian Palace of Cnossos, the Acropolis in Athens, walked the marble streets of Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, stood on the stone quay in a high wind at St. Andrews, Scotland, gazed at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City (prior to the recent restoration), Gazed at the Crown Jewels of Great Britain in the Tower of London, seen Venice at sunset fom the stern of a ship, listened to Seiji Ozawa conduct the San Fransisco Symphony. Gazed at Michelangelo's "Pieta" before some mad-man took a hammer to her nose and fingers, and they put her under bullet-proof lexan. And all before I joined the Navy!
Snuck out? No.
Stolen? Twice in my life, and got caught both times.
Watched "Punky Brewster"? Who?
Witnessed a crime? Impatiently. "Don't bogart that joint!"
What is...
Your bedroom like? I will not take the easy ones, I will not take the easy ones...Aw, hell. I will. It's not the den of lesbian iniquity that some might think. But it does have a working fireplace. And LOTS of dirty laundry.
The best thing that happened to you today? So far, walking up is favorite. That and there was coffee still warm in the pot from when Techi made some beore going to work.
Your biggest accomplishment? Giving birth.
ACT score? I can't remember.
Your biggest fear? General: War with Iraq. Personal: getting fired
Your family life? Just me, Techi, and our animals. It's good.
For breakfast? Nothing
Your good luck charm? I don't have one.
Your height? 5'5"
The most embarrassing CD in your collection? I don't have any embarrassing CDs.
Your most humiliating moment? I have a lifetime of them.
Your proudest moment? Being initiated to priestess.
Your religion? Wiccan (Neo-Pagan)
The worst song you've ever heard? "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" Sung by Leonard Nimoy
Who...
Do you go to for advice? People I trust in the fields that I am asking about, of course.
Do you hate? I have pretty much given up on hating. It tends to eat at me. But people who are malicious as well as stupid really irritate me.
Do you have a crush on (notfamous)? Oh, right, sure, like I'm gonna put that *here* for them to read? Like, NOT!
Do you have a crush on (famous)? Patrick Stewart (I'd go Bi for him...) and Sigourny Weaver.
Has it easier, guys or girls? Guys. No giving birth.
Is the stupidest person you know? Well, the person who composed that sentance would certainly win in the grammar and vocabulary catagory. But I don't know them, do I?
Knows the most about you? I do.
What are your plans for...
Life? Live it exuberantly.
Marriage? Gotta make it legal for same gender, first.
Occupation? I'd like to be a poet. Not much money in it, though.
Future family? Grandkids would be nice.
Tonight? work on story.
Favorites...
I've skipped this part because it seems utterly frivolous, and serves little purpose in giving insite into me.

"The Rev's survey
Date: 2003-01-22 09:17 am (UTC)Hey now!!! It's not my survey. I just borrowed it. I gave it right back to the person who gave it to me!
Re: "The Rev's survey
Actually, it's not so bad as far as surveys go. I've seen worse. I thought the list of "favorites" was pretty vacuous, but the other sections were telling without being too personal.

[cringe] Make it stop!
My ears! My eyes! Aaaargh! The pain...the pain...
