I saw this on my friend Mr. Fabulous’s site and thought it might be interesting enough to steal. I’ve certainly sent him enough Lemur photos to feed his obsession with them that I should be entitled to snatch and idea from his site.

Sixty-Two Question Meme

1. How old do you wish you were? I don’t know, I’m happy with my current age. It might be nice to hit 30 again and do a few things differently, but over all I’m ok where I am.

2. Where were you when 9/11 happened? I was working as a nurse in a private clinic. We all hoped that it was just a tragic accident when we heard about the first plane hitting one of the towers, but then when the second plane hit we knew it wasn’t an accident. I left work shortly after that and took the subway home. My husband was still at work, being informed of an upcoming lay off. He worked near the airport and they could see all the planes landing and landing. Toronto international looked like a parking lot for jets.

3. What do you do when vending machines steal your money? Move on to another vending machine or store and try to remember not to use that one again.

4. Do you consider yourself kind? Yes, I’m usually kind, even if I’m angry inside, you’d likely never know it.

5. If you had to get a tattoo, where and what would it be? Well, If I wanted to get one, it would probably be some kind of dragon and it would probably go on a hip/ upper buttock, or perhaps shoulder blade area.

6. If you could be fluent in any other language what would it be? I already speak French and Spanish. Perhaps an Asian language such as Chinese so I’d be able to communicate with some of my patients in the hospital better … or at least finally find out if they are talking about me behind my back! LOL
