50 things about me
I've been seeing this meme around both here and on Facebook.
1. What is the colour of your hairbrush? I have three on rotation, and they are black, black and pink, and black and orange.
2. Name a food you never ever eat? Prawns/shrimp.
3. Are you typically too warm or too cold? Too warm!
4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? Feeding the cats.
5. What is your favourite candy bar? Ritter Sport Peppermint.
6. Have you ever been to a professional sports event? Yes, baseball and basketball games when I lived in the US.
7. What is the last thing you said out loud? "Well then, I hope he fucking suffers," about Harvey Weinstein getting the virus.
8. What is your favourite ice cream? Haagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream (or Ben & Jerry's Minter Wonderland).
9. What was the last thing you had to drink? Cherry Pepsi-Max.
10. Do you like your wallet? I LOVE it. It's a Betsey Johnson Rainbow Heart purse and it is beyond adorable.
11. What was the last thing you ate? A strawberry-banana smoothie, though that was technically drinking. If we're going back to the last thing I ate, I think it was a piece of Rossanna candy, last night.
12. Did you buy any new clothes last weekend? I bought Mother's Day presents for my mother-in-law (online), two new sets of pjs and two pretty cotton tops for wearing around the house.
13. The last sporting event you watched? I literally don't know. Sport is not a thing I pay attention to.
14. What is your favourite flavour of popcorn? Salted, though I love toffee popcorn too.
15. Who is the last person you sent a text message to? The group chat for our household.
16. Ever go camping? When I was a kid, but not since moving to Scotland.
17. Do you take vitamins? Yes. Mainly Vit D.
18. Do you go to church every Sunday? I haven't since I moved to Texas in 2003.
19. Do you have a tan? Scotland. I live in Scotland.
20. Do you prefer Chinese food over pizza? I love both of them.
21. Do you drink your soda with a straw? Sometimes.
22. What colour socks do you usually wear? Whatever's clean. I have socks in all kinds of colours and patterns. Love my rainbow socks though, which I'm currently wearing.
23. Do you ever drive above the speed limit? I don't drive.
24. What terrifies you? Not being able to protect the people I love.
25. Look to your left, what do you see? A window with curtains drawn.
26. What chore do you hate the most? Cleaning the cats' litter trays.
27. What do you think of when you hear an Australian accent? Steve Irwin, probably.
28. What’s your favourite soda? Mountain Dew.
29. Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive thru? Either is fine. I don't go to fast food places very much.

At the time of posting this, it almost certainly would have been darts, or possibly snooker, although using the term 'watch' for either of those is something of a stretch.
