Ask me meme

[neadods]

From diannelamerc:

On-line journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

What was the first book series you read?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Very very first ever read with my own eyes? I don't remember for sure, but the candidates are Happy Hollisters, Bobbsey Twins, or Nancy Drew.

First adult series I read (when I was well before adult!) was the Mrs. Pollifax books, I think.

Very first read to me was Chronicles of Narnia, my mother's pick for reading nights.

Very first to own was my mother's old Nancy Drew books, back when Nancy was a blonde and drove a roadster.

Nancy isn't blonde anymore??

She went "titan" for a quite a while there in the late 60s/70s and is now described as "strawberry blonde" IIRC.

biggest pet peeve?

Subject to change without notice depending on where I am and what's bugging me at the moment. Although I do make a point of changing all the instances of "utilize" into "use" in documents at work.

Where do you live?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

In a dark red cape cod house about one mile inside the Washington DC beltway. (There's a name to the town, but even locals are like, "where's that?")
