@codemunky:
3. Is he fuzzy or scaly?
4. That’s really interesting. It sure felt nimble. I got it with not many km on the odometer but it had at least 5 dings on it! I was happy to say I took it around the entire coast yet didn’t add any more.
7. I’m more of a adept sight-reader, actually.

3. I named my Facebook pet, Chupacabra.

4. A Fiat Panda 500 is actually a driver’s car, believe it or not. The question as why we don’t have too many driver’s cars here is probably because they know that people here can’t drive.

7. Sure you are classically trained, but does your memory serve you well?

@Devin: Yeah I guess you have a point there…

Doesn’t that mean then that people who grew up in LA knew better and got the hell out?

@big league: Big purchases. I usually decide before I buy it and well, I knew it before I bought it. j/k. The most important things (car, computer) are definitely girls. Also, the computer gets cords (USB) plugged “into” her so … yeah.

@Gnorb: Of course, thanks for tagging me. It’s nice to actually name what’s personal from time to time on a “personal” blog. Hah.

A composition major! Oh my. Not worthy. I didn’t know you also played the viola.

Very interesting list, Esther, and the honor was all mine (that you actually acknowledged the tag).

I’m with you on the classical training. I was a composition major (played violin and viola), and I’ll usually notice instrumentation and patterns before I will the words, or, oddly enough, chord changes. I think in another life I was a wannabe concu — err, percussionist.

what makes a possession worthy to be named? do you have to own it for a while and figure out its personality before it gets a name? how do you determine the gender of your possessions??

@Edrei: The point about being a geek is well-taken. I’ll have to agree with that, then.

@Devin: I’ve had people visit me from home say the same thing … I think personally, though, if I had grown up here I might have moved to the east coast instead. Just one of those things…it’s actually rare in Metro LA to meet someone who was born and raised here.

Ahhhh! I don’t think I could live in LA. Visit? All the time. Maybe if I grew up there?

I don’t know if naming your gadgets make you lonely or make you a true geek. I tend to name my gadgets too and treat them as if they were, if not better than real people. Of course, I know I’m lonely, but that wasn’t the real reason I started naming my gadgets.

You actually yawn and scratch your armpits while driving with the convertible down? What?! Brave soldier. Very brave soldier.
