Average Jane: 34 Random Things About Average Jane

I'm dipping a toe back into blogging, inspired by Bossy, who promises a relaunch soon. I'll try to get more creative going forward, but this meme seemed like a decent way to ease back in.

Do you like bleu cheese? I like one particular appetizer that consists of freshly made potato chips topped with melted Maytag bleu cheese. Otherwise, not really.
Coke or Pepsi? Jack and Coke if I'm feeling thrifty; Crown and Coke to be fancy. I don't really drink soda by itself anymore.
Do you own a gun? We have them in the household, but I don't personally own one.
What flavor Kool-aid? Cherry or black cherry
What do you think of hot dogs? I always liked them despite everything, and now that I'm a vegetarian I wish I could find a good veggie version.
Favorite TV show? We've been binge watching Supernatural on Netflix (as of this week, we're at the beginning of season 8 out of 13 and counting). It's my favorite right now because I'm so immersed.
Favorite movie? Currently it's Wonder Woman. I'd see it again any time.
What do you drink in the morning? Black coffee
Can you do a pushup? I can do a pushup, but I think I'd need to step up my yoga practice to be able to do multiple pushups.
Favorite jewelry? My Superhero Designs necklaces. (I have Grass & Sky and Joy)
Favorite hobby? Baking
Do you have A.D.D.? I believe they call it ADHD in adults. Squirrel!
Do you wear glasses? Yes! I just got my first pair of bifocals and they've changed my life for the better.
Favorite cartoon character? The Tick
Three things I did yesterday? Ate quiche, played with kittens, and got together with friends.
Three things you drink regularly? I feel like we've covered a lot of this already, but I also drink a lot of water and I'm a fan of microbrewed beer.
Current dislike? The patriarchy and all that entails.
Favorite place to go? I love hanging out at Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters. Great coffee and food and a really comfortable atmosphere.
How did you bring in the New Year? At home, I think? I really don't remember.
Where would you like to go? I'd love to visit the U.K.
Favorite color? Purple
Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? I'm going to assume no. Sounds cold and slide-y.
Can you whistle? Not particularly well, but kinda.
Where are you now? Sitting in my favorite living room chair.
Would you be a pirate? I lean too much toward Lawful Good for that.
Favorite food? Pizza. I would eat some variety of pizza every single day if the opportunity presented itself (and it often does).
Last thing that made you laugh? Friends
Favorite animal? Other than my cats and dog, definitely the capybara.
Most recent injury? A painful mystery bruise on one hip.
How many TVs are in your house? Just one big one.
Worst pain ever? It's a toss-up between kidney stone and diverticulitis flareup.
Do you like to dance? Yes, but I'm not a very good dancer.
Are your parents still alive? My dad is.
Do you love life? As opposed to the alternative, sure. I could stand to cultivate more moment-by-moment joy, though.

And that's that. I'm hoping to get back into daily posts each weekday morning as a writing warmup. That's how I started blogging and it seems like a good way to get back into it.

I'm not sure if anyone's still around to read this, but I guess we'll find out!

I've been toying with the idea of getting back into blogging, too. I miss it. I think Twitter kind of distracted me for a while there, but I'm getting tired of Twitter. All the people I used to follow at the start have gone silent. Also the vibe is different. It's not really fun over there any more.

So anyway. I'll be reading, too. And maybe writing.
