It's clearly finals time

[krislaughs]

because I'm posting WAY more than usual.

The Question meme

ignipes asked me five, and if you comment, I will ask another five of you. You know the drill.


1. What's the longest you've ever gone without bathing?

Ohhh. You're out to uncover my dirty little secrets (pun totally intended.) I went for over a week in Ecuador without a bath, or soap, but I did rinse off myself and my clothing in the rain as well as various rivers and streams (thank god I hadn't yet taken parasitology.)

2. Favorite part about being a vet-to-be?

No one thinks I'm crazy for scheduling my life around my pets. Actually, I'm pretty psyched that after all this work, people will call me 'doctor.'

3. What the heck is it about Irish accents?

Um... honestly? Don't laugh. It's the way they say 'fuck.' I kid you not. Though I'm not generally a fan of excessive swearing, I can't get enough of the raunchy-mouthed Irishmen.

4. What's your favorite way to spend a warm, lazy, summer afternoon when you have no place special to be and no responsibilities hanging over you?

Riding, bathing, and grazing my horse while he dries. Oh wait. I don't have a horse. Very well...

Bringing a book out onto a patch of grass (park, field, or lawn depending on where in the world I am) and falling asleep on it. This is only improved upon when there is a hammock strung between two trees in the sun. Follow the nap with a long walk or jog as the evening cools down, and a bowl of ice cream when I get back home.

5. What's it all about, anyway?

It's all about the penguins.

What the hell? :) Although I'll probably answer in a comment, just because I already did this one in my journal.

Aw, thanks. :)

1. I've gone that long on camping trips too. There is nothing in the world better than a real shower after staying in primitive campgrounds for a week. :)

4. Mmm to both of those. It took me way too long to discover the joys of bathing (some)one (else)'s horse, but after I discovered it, I did it every chance I got. It's such a fun way to bond. (Paddy fortunately loved it too.)

5. Hehe.

2. Hehehee! On the same note, the reason I like being a geologist is that nobody thinks I'm crazy to schedule my life around traveling and hiking.

3. Ha! I knew you had a real explanation. So very true.

5. Oh. It all makes sense now.

Hey there! I saw your awesome limmericks over on deirdre_cs eljay and came over here to browse around. I'm another big fan of sunsets, Supernatural and sushi!

I hope you don't mind if I friend you and hang out?

You're very right about 5. It is, without a doubt, all about penguins.

I sort of feel I've pestered too many people for questions - but if you've got nothing better to do...
