Another meme

litlover12This one's from Nina at Wickfield.
First: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question. Second: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
(I'd have used an LJ cut, but it doesn't want to work. What is up with LJ these days, anyway? It seems to be going out of its way to be obnoxious.)
What song are you currently addicted to?
Mm, hard to say; I always seem to be listening to all kinds of songs. Right now, pretty much anything by Chris Young, I guess. Especially "Burn."
What books are you currently reading?
Way too many to list. :-) I'll just name the ones I have listed on my Visual Bookshelf on Facebook: the latest biographies of Charles Dickens and Edith Wharton; Anna Karenina; and Dickens, Christianity, and The Life of Our Lord. I'm also rereading Barnaby Rudge for the current group reading project at Dickensblog.
What's the funnest thing you've done today?
It's been more of a work day than a fun day. The most fun thing has been doing this meme, I guess! Well, that and playing with the neighbors' cats.
ZOMBIES OR ROBOTS?
Robots!
Sweet or salty?
Both!
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
I have many ongoing ones, but my most recent one is White Collar.
Cake or Death?
Definitely cake!! (And our neighbor just brought over a REALLY YUMMY one!)
What websites do you always visit when you go online?
The site that I manage at work, Dickensblog, LiveJournal, Facebook, and Twitter. There are other sites I visit frequently, but those are the ones I go to pretty much every time.
What was the last thing you bought?
A tall vanilla soy latte at Starbucks.
What fictional character are you most like?
Jessica Raney from Home to Holly Springs by Jan Karon: timid, creative, loyal, hardworking, and affectionate.
Favorite toy growing up?
My baby doll Shelly.
What do you do to change your mood?
Any number of things: pray, exercise, write in a journal, read, watch something funny. If all else fails, I take a 5HTP capsule. (It's a supplement I take to help me sleep at night, but it's also good for moods. It's non-prescription and harmless . . . mostly. You can actually have nightmares if you take too much, as I know to my cost!)
What was the last meal you ate?
Stuffed salmon, rice, roasted mixed vegetables, tomato and olive salad, and cake!
Do you want to learn another language?
I'd like to relearn Italian. I took it as an undergraduate and loved it. Took it again in grad school, some time later, and the teacher was so terrible I think I actually regressed in my understanding of the language! Of course I had forgotten a lot in the years between, but I swear I actually knew less Italian when I came out than when I went in.
Five things you can't live without:
God, family, friends, books, flowers
Find the closest book currently sitting near you and flip to page 54. What is the first sentence of the second paragraph?
"There was a slight amount of defiance in her voice, but Mrs. Lacey did not seem to notice it." Agatha Christie, "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding," in the book Murder for Christmas
What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
"Would you go out with me?"
(I won't say to whom I want to say it. I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this journal . . . but I can't be 100 percent certain!)
What are you looking forward to?
Visiting one of my favorite shops on Wednesday. :-) It's pretty far away, but I'm going to be in the area that day, so I'm planning a stop there.
