I like this thread. Can't wait to see what others post.

1. Over the Rainbow makes me sad. I want to hold your hand (beatles) makes me happy
2. Chewing on the skin around my finger nails. They look awful, but I just can't stop.
3. I have lots of family photos hanging on the walls throughout my house. I love seeing my family. I also have lots of pictures featuring flowers in them.
4. I don't own too many shoes. Maybe 20 pairs. I go for comfort. Not the grandma style yet, but I'm headed there
5. Sad, lonely lady
6. 6:30 am I prefer to get at least 10 hours of sleep but frequently get less.
7. NEVER paint my finger nails (see #2). Definitely paint my toe nails, especially in the summer.
8. I would say blue
9. Over the Rainbow, Angel Eyes, American Pie, Yesterday, Imagine, I Hope You Dance, Because of You, Un-break My Heart, Just the Way You Are, I Will Remember You.

I know, my music selections are pretty old. Oh well, that's what I listen to.

Anxious to see others posts.

1.) Firework by Katy Perry makes me happy and sad at the same time, so does Perfect by Pink. Don't stop Believin' makes me smile every time I hear it!

2.) I am a hair twirler, when I'm tired, when I'm stressed, when I'm anxious, when I'm bored, when I need to self soothe, I twirl a strand of hair. I'm 33, hence the reason it's quirky!

3.) I FINALLY after living here for seven years, have photos on the walls! All flowers that I took pictures of over the last few years.

4.) Comfy shoes are key! I usually wear Dansko Clogs in the fall/winter, and Born or BOC sandals during the spring and summer.

5.) Short, feisty, overly-reflective.

6.) 6:25am, 6:55am, 7:25am (yes, I set three, just in case...) I need 8 hours of sleep to function without tears, 7 hours to function with minimal tears, less than 7 brings tears if you look at me cross-eyed.

7.) I paint my toenails all summer long - usually wild colors - bright blue, purple, etc. I tried painting my nails, but I pick the paint off.

8.) Purple. Plum sofa, lavender bedroom walls, purple clothing, purple pens/markers, love purple!

9.) Perfect by Pink, Firework by Katy Perry, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie, Goodbye Baby by Fleetwood Mac, I Shall Believe by Sheryl Crow, California Gurls by Katy Perry, Breakaway by Kelly Clarskon, Shake That by Eminem, Fireflies by Owl City, We're All In This Together by Ben Lee

Room2Grow I too am a hair twirler!! I like to pull it into knots, see how many I can make on one strand. People comment on how amazing I can manipulate my hair with one hand.

I love reading everyone's answers to these!

1. Happy= Belly of June by Horse Feathers & E.T. by Katy Perry (happy& turned on ) Sad= I don’t normally listen to songs that make me sad

2. Ummmmmmm I’m seriously trying to think.. I’m sure my boyfriend or family could name some but I cant think of any right now.

3. I have a collection of framed pictures of my mom & sister and I in NYC. Then I have tons of my photography of my hamsters and gerbils that I’ve sold. I also have some naughty pictures (not of me!)

4. In the winter I wear boots- I have a couple pairs of steve maddens that I love, they are both mid calf boots with a pretty good heal. Then in the spring I wear sandels or flats and in the summer I wear Old Navy flip flops mostly because they’re easy to wear to the beach or pool. And then for going out or if I just feel like it I wear a cute pair of heals from my collection

5. Optimistic funny & beautiful

6. I don’t have an alarm, or I guess I do on my iHome, but its never set. I wake up on my own between 6 & 7 but no later than 7.

7. Yes, I have to have them painted for my job… I’m into spring colors right now so my nails are Turquoise & Caicos by Essie and yesterday they were Canberra’t Without You by OPI… and yes I always know what color I’m wearing.

8. Pink! But I like lots of other colors too.. my room walls are a cave-like extremely dark purple with gold & light green accents.

9. Well, I gave my computer that has iTunes on it a virus so that’s at Geek Squad, and I’m on my laptop now which doesn’t have iTunes. So I’ll update this once I get my computer back!

We have a lot of different stuff on our walls, family photos, strange prints (favorite is the dinosaur in the middle of the Autobahn), oil painting of Savanah, GA, and Aragorn's sword from Lord of the Rings

4.) What kind of shoes do you wear? How many pairs Vdo you own?
Tend to wear very comfortable stuff, favorites being my Propet walking shoes and my cowboy boots (seriously the most comfortable boots I own.). I own probably about 25 pairs but wear the dress stuff very rarely.

Verbose, empathetic geek

6.) What time is your alarm clock set for? How many hours of sleep do you need to get through the day?
I do not set an alarm clock (complete flex hours, bless the company I work for) and usually get up between 7 and 8:30 AM. I prefer eight hours, can run on seven for awhile if I have to and can survive on 6 for a few days at at time, but if I push the lack of sleep too hard I end up with a sinus infection.

7.) Do you paint your nails? Hardly ever only for special occasions, don't wear makeup either, nor style my hair. I am a very low maintainence woman (sometimes I feel like I'm faking the whole woman thing. )

8.) What's your favorite color and is it a general favorite or only for clothes, pens, walls etc.?
I love red and really bright yellow, both clothes and decorating although as I'm getting older I find myself leaning more towards blues and greens, I like the peacefulness.

I love all of those!! Why do you wear heels though? To be further away from the dust and dirt?
The song on your itunes list, I'll be there, which one is it? The Michael Jackson one or something else?

I'll be there by Mariah Carey. It was on the top of the charts in 1992 when my father died and I listened to it a lot that summer. Made me feel close to all of the friends and family who were there for me at that time, even though in reality I sort of pushed everyone away.

oh, and I wear heels when I clean my apartment because the extra height makes it easier for me to maneuver the vacuum. I'm not sure why. Its as though vacuums were designed for people who are six feet tall. They just work better with those extra five inches.

Really?? Also when you can sleep in?

I dont, sleeping in isn't fun for me. If I have to sleep in because I've been out all night I will be in the worst mood the whole next day.

1.) What song makes you happy when you hear it? Which one makes you sad?
Happy - Walking On Sunshine
Sad - Against All Odds

2.) What quirky habits do you have?
I rub my eyebrows. It's a self-soothing thing. But I've been doing it more the last few years, maybe due to more anxiety, and it's actually caused bare spots and abrasions.

3.) Do you have pictures on your walls? Which kind? Family, flowers, nature, photography, paintings...?
Yes, but none of them go together. I've never been good at interior decorating. Some family, some paintings.

4.) What kind of shoes do you wear? How many pairs do you own?
There is a particular style of Eastlands that I've been wearing for years now. After about a year, the sole splits, and then I buy a new pair. Rinse and repeat. When I exercise I wear running shoes, no particular brand, whatever feels good at the time. I also have dress shoes but very rarely wear them. I maybe own 5-6 pairs of shoes at any one time.

5.) Describe yourself in 3 words.
Serious, quiet, lonely (sorry all negative but that's how I feel)

6.) What time is your alarm clock set for? How many hours of sleep do you need to get through the day?
5:00-5:30 a.m. Need about four hours of sleep, plus various forms of caffeine, to function. Less than that, the caffeine doesn't do anything and I feel like I'm in a fog. More sleep than that doesn't help and actually makes me feel more tired, and also achy. Even though I've never suffered from insomnia, I've rarely ever woken up feeling "rested". Wish I could find just the right kind of sleep.

7.) Do you paint your nails?
Nope. But I love looking at all the colors of fingernail polish. Same thing with lipstick.

8.) What's your favorite color and is it a general favorite or only for clothes, pens, walls etc.?
I don't have one favorite. Depending on the object, I like purple, blue, green, dark red, navy, orange-pink...any vibrant, rich and/or warm color. I do not care for pastels.

9.) Name the 10 most played songs on your itunes/ipod/wherever. Don't cheat, it's okay if you have embarrassing songs.
All I'm going to say about this is that I'm stuck in the 80's. Enough said.
