1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:

"Alll of these categories of Modern English words exhibiting i-mutation"

2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?

The window. Or, more accurately, the screen.

3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?

Whatever Sarah was channel-surfing to last night.

4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is:

The daylight savings thing is messing me up, and I don't know if my computer's clock has switched or not anyway, but it said it was around nine when I got up and I magine it's been an hour since then.

5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?:

10:12.

6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:

I thought I heard a bird singing, but isn't it too early for that? In the year, I mean, not in the day.

7: When did you last step outside? What were you doing?:

When Katie and Josh brought Sarah, Seth and I back from Don's in the middle of the night.

8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at?:

I wasn't looking at any other websites. So I'll steal stealthmunchkin's answer and say "the GNOME desktop". Mine is currently a picture of me and ivana_duboise in front of the cherry spoon.

9: What are you wearing?:

Pajamas.

10: Did you dream last night?:

I don't even remember falling asleep last night.

11: When did you last laugh?:

Last night, I suppose.

12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?:

Pictures of my friends, postcards from France, a Breakfast at Tiffany's movie poster in Italian, a photocopy of a page of Old English manuscript I had to translate in class one day but kept just because it's cool-looking.

13: Seen anything weird lately?:

My reflection?

14(a): What book are you currently reading?:

You mean besides my music history textbook and my scholarly articles about "paronomasia in Old English scripture verses"? Ha. I don't have time to read for fun.

14(b): What is the last book you finished?:

To Sail Beyond the Sunset

15: What is the last film you saw?:

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?:

Cars for my friends who don't have them and wish they did. Then maybe my own computer.

17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:

Who is this "I"? Well, here's something: my right foot has fallen asleep.

18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you change?:

Europeans' takeover of the Western Hemisphere.

19: Do you like to dance?:

I'm no good at dancing.

20: What is the last thing you ate or drank?

A cheeseburger at Don's.

21(a): Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?:

Empress Josephine

21(b): Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?:

Empress Josephine

22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:

I've never actually been out of the country. Even to Canada, which is not that far away. I'd like to do that at least, and I think I can say I would at least consider living abroad. Besides, this person I met keeps bothering me to move to England...

paronomasia

I only discovered that word by accident about two weeks ago. It's really cool.

I kind of like it; it's a good word for me to know.
