chestnutcurlsFriday at last. My office is pretty much deserted today, with everyone on vacation. It's very quiet. I'm waiting for Evan to call; we may or may not go to lunch today, depending on how tired he is from his 6-hour hub training last night. It would be typical of him to sleep till noon and forget that we had made plans, so I shouldn't expect much, but I'm getting antsy. :)
My phone, in my purse, in a drawer, keeps making a sad bleeping noise, sort of like R2D2. I know it wants to be charged, but I'm supposed to let the battery run out completely for the first three cycles. So I have to let it exhaust itself. Poor little phone.
This morning when I was in Kathy's room, getting the dirt from last night's party for the Toronto Clique (during which I stayed in my room watching election results), I saw a Gryffindor baseball cap on her dresser and pounced on it. She got it from Jamie, who got it out of a stuffed animal machine, so she said I can have it! Exciting. Now I just need an occasion to wear a baseball cap. Backwards, because that is the only way I can wear baseball caps. :)
Here's the Friday Five. Why do we, the survey junkies of LJ, not do this more regularly?
1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
On my mother's side, I am British and Russian-Austrian Jewish. (How that happened, I'll never know.) My great-great-grandfather was a rabbi. On my father's side, I am Irish and Czechoslovakian. The English and Irish are sort of generalizations, though, since those relatives came to America a looong time ago.
2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
Lately I am developing a fascination with British culture, so that would be at the top of the list. But I would like to go to all of those places.
3. Which would you least like to visit? Why?
Like I said, I would like to see them all, but Czechoslovakia (or the Czech Republic, now) is probably last. I don't know much about the country, but it seems there's a lot of unrest there.
4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
Not really.
5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)? I think it was my great-grandmother's family (the Russian Jews) because they had to flee Russia during WWI.
