I got tagged with this meme:

Accent- I have a Southern California drawl with a slight English intonation (especially when I'm upset). People are always asking me where I'm from. I'm from Southern California and England.

Booze of choice- Lately I've been drinking cabernet mixed with diet 7-up. I also like beer and sweet mixed drinks, like Mai Tais.

Chore I hate- Changing the poopy diapers of old people, especially if they have C dif.

Dog or cat- Dogs. I like cats, but not some of the things that cats do, like recreational killing.

Essential electronics- My computer and camera.

Favorite perfume- I don't wear perfume normally, but I like tuberose and gardenia scents.

Gold or silver- Gold, although I rarely wear jewelry. I just like to own it.

Hometown- I don't really have one, but I've adopted Santa Clarita.

Insomnia- Let me put it this way, if sleep were an Olympic sport, I would be in medal contention.

Job title- RN. (acute care, orthopedics)

Kids- None, but not by choice. Not having kids is my greatest sorrow, which also explains why my life revolves around my dogs.

Living arrangement- I share my house with three dogs and assorted vermin. Three fish live outside which I feel a little guilty about.

Most admired trait- Determination.

Number of sexual partners- Huh? Are you accusing me of having had sex?

Overnight hospital stays- Yes, it's that more than anything, I think, that influenced my decision to become a nurse.

Phobias- Yes, multiple. They are all related to my fear of abandonment. I take medication to control panic attacks.

Quote- I like the Nike ad of "Just do it."

Religion- I don't believe in fate, karma or divine intervention. Good things sometimes happen to bad people and bad things sometimes happen to good people. I believe that we all have free will and that what happens is largely the result of the consequences of actions with some luck mixed in.

Siblings- I have two older brothers.

Time I wake up-Around 10, give or take an hour.

Unusual talent or skill- I only have conventional skills, unless you count my ability to scare the crap out of people by just looking at them with my icy stare.

Vegetable I refuse to eat- I like all vegetables. If I refuse to eat them it is because of poor preparation.

Worst habit- Laziness, like now, for instance. The house is filthy and here I sit typing away.

X-rays- Is there anyone who has gotten through life without being irradiated?

Yummy foods I make-smoothies and salads. I can make yummier food than that, but if I do, I will eat it. I can't allow too much temptation in the house.

Zodiac sign- Gemini.
