I’ve seen this ABCs survey trending around the blag world and it is an interesting way to learn some facts about people that might not typically come up in their blogs. Fun stuffs.
A. Age: 27 (for two more weeks)
B. Bed size: Full. Interesting fact: I slept in the same bed from age 2 to 23. Then I moved to the city and needed a bed big enough for gentleman callers.
C. Chore you hate: Dishes and other things that function like dishes.
D. Dogs: I love my niece Santana as if she were my own. How can I love a pup this much who isn’t mine‽
E. Essential start to your day: Coffee. I get really excited to go to sleep because it means soon I can wake up and drink coffee.
F. Favorite color: I recently started loving purple. Not long ago I made a pact with myself to wear something purple every single day. While I don’t yet have much purple clothing (YET), I’ve been getting purple manicures and I have a purple purse and two purple necklaces.
I was disappointed when I ordered Hunter boots pictured as so:
But instead these arrived:

The old Nordstrom bait and switch. They are still purple though.
G. Gold or silver: Gold. I found myself slowly switching to wearing (and buying) gold jewelry more often over the last year and now I almost never wear my silver.
H. Height: 5’5. My driver’s license says 5’4 because my best friend and I thought even numbers sounded better. Her 5’7 self’s license says 5’6.
I. Instruments you play: In fifth grade, they attached piano keyboards to our Macintosh computers and we used special piano-teaching software and learned to play! I learned the notes and a few songs. I started getting confused when I advanced to the two-handed songs. There is only so much a 10-year old can learn from a computer.
J. Job title: Content Management Coordinator. A dramatic difference from my previous title: Assistant Vice President, Product Analyst II. I never even knew what a Product Analyst even was, much less the second iteration.
K. Kids: Yes, need. I suppose I’d need a boy first. Anyone have a crush on me?
L. Live: On March 20, my roommate and I will celebrate five years in our 320 square foot apartment. It has no closets and no living room or common area. It costs more than my brother’s three-bedroom, huge living room, big backyard Seattle-area house. NYC living!
M. Mom’s name: Ronni (anyone else notice that lots of Jewish moms are named Ronni/Ronnie?)
N. Nicknames: Dor, Dor v’Dor, Heather, D
O. Overnight hospital stays: Not technically, although I did spend an entire night in the ER because they messed up a test and had to re-do it. So while it wasn’t an official “you have to stay in the hospital overnight” situation, I did end up not getting to leave the hospital until 6 am.
P. Pet peeve: People who say “ironic” when what they mean is “coincidence.” Also, people who don’t know how to walk.
Q. Quote from a movie: Short attention span. TV quotes. My favorites:
- “No look, I’m you from the future. I’ve come to warn you that in 3 million years you’ll be dead!”
-Arnold Rimmer, Red Dwarf
- “That’s what you do when life hands you a chance to be with someone special. You just grab that brownish area by its points and you don’t let go no matter what your mom says.”
– Buster Bluth, Arrested Development
- “How much could a banana cost? Ten dollars?”
– Lucille Bluth, Arrested Development
R. Right or left handed: Right-handed. Left for sign-language and other things that function like dishes.
S. Siblings: My doll Nicole, my sister-in-law Mallory and my baby brother Matthew. Also goes by: Matt Matt, Henry, Mush, Boy, Hen, Henny, Henries, Hens, Matt Matt Matt, Youth and others that I will not name in fear of embarrassing him.
T. Time you wake up: Weekday: If working out or Physical Therapy, 5:30 am. If not, 6:30 -7 am. Weekend: Early. My body hates me.
U. Underwear: I don’t understand the question and I won’t respond to it.

V. Vegetables you dislike: Sun-dried tomatoes. Why do those exist!
W. What makes you run late: Nothing. My biggest anxiety is time. I drastically overestimate how long it will take to get somewhere, and so I am always early.
X. X-Rays you’ve had: Teeth, stomach, shoulder, butt, ankle, foot, hip.
Y. Yummy food you make: Magnolia Banana Pudding and My Pasta
Z. Zoo- favorite animal: Pigs, Sheep and Wolves.
Big congrats to Brynn and Refine Methodfor being named NY Magazine’s Best New Workout of 2011. I couldn’t agree more!

March 8, 2011 at 8:40 am (14 years ago)Oh my gosh, virtual high five on the pet peeves. Don’t even get me started on bad walkers.
Also, I think it’s cute that you get excited to go to sleep because it means you get to wake up soon. Great outlook. I like you.

March 8, 2011 at 10:15 am (14 years ago)I have been eyeing those same purple boots for some time but I am afraid they will clash with my purple raincoat and purple purse.
Also, I want to print out your walking in the city tutorial and plaster it everywhere I go. NO ONE knows how to walk. And can we also talk about doublewide baby strollers?
Brynn
March 8, 2011 at 10:58 am (14 years ago)Thanks Dori! Pictures of Santana should be mandatory in every post. So cute!
Jolene
March 8, 2011 at 11:03 am (14 years ago)WOW, 320 square feet?! That’s nuts. But you are right, for NYC living, that’s whatcha get. I bet it’s cute and perfectly located though 😉 And, what’s wrong with sundried tomatoes? I used to hate them but now love them!

Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine
March 8, 2011 at 11:09 am (14 years ago)I love that you made yourself SHORTER instead of taller on your liscense. Cracks me up! And I really dig the purple Hunters. I have navy ones and they’re so comfy, but not nearly as fun!

March 8, 2011 at 11:30 am (14 years ago)I get excited to go to sleep if I have an awesome breakfast to look forward to…actually any breakfast is pretty awesome 🙂

March 8, 2011 at 12:11 pm (14 years ago)I need to get a bed big enough for gentleman callers.
I dream about coffee too.

March 8, 2011 at 12:24 pm (14 years ago)did you know my bf’s fave show is red dwarf? He would jizz himself if he saw you put a quote from that show on here. Love how honest you are about the bed size question. GET ‘EM GIRL!

Erica Sara
March 8, 2011 at 1:32 pm (14 years ago)This is so cute! It’s the first time I’m seeing this idea… are the questions for each letter always the same or do you make up your own for each letter? I may have to join in the fun 🙂
Amanda
