idaho_laurie tagged me on this survey, so I guess I'll post the answers. While it says that I should in turn tag eight other people, I'm not big on passing along surveys, so I'll just say it's an open invitation.

Here are the rules:
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz.

1. What are your nicknames?
The most common nickname I have is Gags, shortened from Gaglione by sports team members to make it easier to get my attention. I've also been called Bookworm, Boog, Kate or Kat, Katarenebell and many others, but I wouldn't recommend you using any of these nicknames--I like my name just the way it is.

2. What do you do before bedtime?
Reading and brushing my teeth puts me in the mood for sleep. But I also have a habit of falling asleep in moving cars--I'm like a six-month-old baby in that way.

3. What fandom(s) are you most into at the moment?
If you'd ask me this in high school I'd say Harry Potter, but I kind of out grew that. Now I'm all about the YA lit.

4. What is your favorite scent?
I LOVE the smell of Sweet Olive Trees. I once made my roommate drive around an exit three times in Washington, D.C., so I could find the tree that I could smell from the Beltway.

5. What videogames are you playing at the moment? Replaced by: Why did you replace this question if you couldn't think of anything better?
I am obsessed with Rock Band. I stink at Guitar Hero, but I can get in to the vocals and drums on Rock Band.

6. What is your theme song?
"Wrapped Up in Books" by Bell and Sebastian

7. Do you trust easily?
Yes and no, I think everyone deserves a chance, but I try not to be stupid and making myself vulnerable along the way.

8. Do you generally think before you act, or act before you think?
I am very much a planner. I like lists and calendars, but I also like to have fun and get things done.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
I am totally bummed about not having a job at the moment, so I can't think of much else.

10. Do you have a good body-image?
Ha! No way!

11. Is being tagged fun?
Sure, I could take it of leave it.

12. What websites do you visit daily?
LiveJournal, GoodReads, Yahoo, The Chicago Tribune

13. What have you been seriously addicted to lately?
My iPod, the Internet and chocolate, always chocolate

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
I've never met idaho_laurie, but I love that she loves to read, is into her family and history and really thinks about what makes other people happy. Those are some really amazing qualities.

15. What’s the last song that got stuck in your head?
I ALWAYS have a song suck in my head. My "default" song is "Going Courting" from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers--don't ask my way. The last song I had really badly stuck in my head was "Enter Sandman" by Metallica because I heard the opening bars on a talk radio show but they never finished the song. And now it's stuck again, thanks a lot.

16. What’s your favorite item of clothing?
Jeans, I love wearing jeans. But I love buying shoes. And then there's this really cute white wrap-around shirt I just got from Old Navy...

17. Do you think Rice Crispies are yummy?
No, I can't stand even thinking about marshmallows after a Chubby Bunny game gone bad where I threw up in the camp fire.

18. What would you do if you see saw $100 lying on the ground?
I actually have found $100 lying on the ground twice, once at a laundry mat and once at the school where I used to work. I gave it to the attendant at the laundry mat (I was maybe nine at the time), and she said I could come back the next day and have it if no one came to claim it. The other time I kept it at my desk and a frantic student came looking for it within the hour.

19. What items could you not go without during the day?
Books, the internet and people

20. What should you be doing right now?
Reviewing some freelance material that I need to prepare for a Monday meeting. Isn't the internet wonderful?
