What is the one thing you don't like about your body?
Adult onset-acne. My body did *not* like hormonal birth control the one time I tried it. I was clinically depressed for months after I stopped taking it, and the acne (on a monthly cycle, of course) still lingers.

What are two things you love about your body?
I'm solar-powered and flexible when I put my mind to it.

What are three things you want to change about your home?
More closets, more shelves and a pantry.

What are four books you want to read this year?
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (I haven't started counting down the days. Yet.)
Service of the Sword by David Weber (April 2003 - I should remember to webscription it)
March to the Stars by David Weber and John Ringo (it's finally out now!)
Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

What are five promises you have kept to yourself?
I have never betrayed a confidence
I do not obsess about my weight (while I worry about exercise, I haven't looked at a scale in a couple of years now)
I reapplied to the Library School
I'm paying off my credit cards, but that's more a work in progress
And then I start drawing a blank. I tend not to promise myself much because I'm happy with what I have.

Random dinner plans

I have shelves!

Heh. Mom and Dad bought me extra shelves for my extensive, ever-growing library. This was back in August. They made it as far as Colorado in December, and are now in the back of the Pimp-Mobile, somewhere in the vicinity of Olympia.

I warned him about traffic, but no... he's hitting Olympia right about 4 o'clock, which positions him for rush hour in both Tacoma and Seattle. Poor sod. I'll have to put off dinner with my brother just a little bit longer. *sniff* Ah well. He's cancelled the attempt to climb Rainier (It's raining at 10,000 feet) and he'll be here for about a week or so. Woo!
