impyYoinked this from luxken27.
1. Are you an Essential Worker?
Which is to say that yes, yes I am. But, like most essential workers, I don't get paid like I am. Shocking, no?
2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started?
Uh, none? I was going to have my strawberry daiquiri but got distracted.
3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts?
There's the nephew who has driven me to madness, but that's not exactly what the question is really asking.
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?
I mean, I'm essential, so I've taken up scrubbing my hands until the skin cracks. Obviously.
5. How many grocery runs have you done?
I tried to get us one fairly large run about the time we realized oh-shit, this is a thing, and have been going weekly since. Which is actually down from the usual since Mom and I would stop maybe twice on the way home and she'd run to Bi-Lo or Walmart at another time.
6. What are you spending your stimulus check on?
I apparently got the joy of spending it before it even arrived on my new computer. Yay. I am debating that Zoya sale though.
7. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine?
I didn't get to do the glow in the dark Easter egg hunt with Khalan...
8. Are you keeping your housework done?
As much as I ever do, I guess.
9. What movie have you watched during this quarantine?
Lesse. Mom and I watched Spiderman Far From Home. She watched (and I listened/watched) Play Misty For Me. Ummmm... oh, and we watched the second half of Thor: Ragnorok again. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something though.
10. What are you streaming with?
Like... am I using Hulu or the Xbox or are you wondering what I'm watching? Because I've been going through Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Hulu pretty steadily.
11. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby?
If I do, you should all be afraid because it'll be a sign from a deity of some sort.
12. What's your go-to quarantine meal?
I don't have one.
13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid?
Twitchy, yes, paranoid? No.
14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time?
Yes. Fucking Comcast.
15 What month do you predict this all ends?
I don't know. It's gonna be awhile, even if the idiot in chief does throw everyone back to work. Y'know, because that'll spark another round of oh-fuck.
16. First thing you’re gonna do when you get off quarantine?
Not. In. Quarantine. Can all the people not in quarantine just get like a solid paid month off after this?
17. Where do you wish you were right now?
In bed.
18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most?
I didn't get to go to the beach pre-summer, so I miss that. But I'm really going to miss Halloween hunting as I imagine all of that's gonna be super late this year. ;_;
19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer?
To run out of sanitizer you'd have to have had it to begin with, yes? Plus side of being essential is that I don't worry as much about TP and I snagged a sanitizer for the car when we finally got some in.
20. Do you have enough food to last a month?
Like... personally or for the family? Because the family includes a teenage boy so obviously not. And personally? No. If nothing else, I require my soda and I don't have a month's supply.
And might as well do this one at the same time because why not?
The Nail Polish Collection Tag!
How many nail polishes do you own?
Uh... a lot? I'm pretty sure I bought 300 swatch sticks and I was down to one bundle before my last Zoya purchase so probably in that neighborhood.
What was the first nail polish you remember buying?
Polish-polish or like those Tinkerbell ones that peeled off? I don't have a clear memory of the first polish I ever bought, honestly. I'm willing to bet it was a Wet n Wild and I also know I tended to buy the black Halloween polishes. I also remember buying a Revlon Streat Wear bar glitter polish that I both loved and hated because it had holographic glitter (yay!) but they were bar (boo) and I didn't cry when Max used it to do some art thing.
What is the most recent nail polish you added to your collection?
Sally Hansen Mega Strength in Get Paid. Work had it on clearance and I was buying the last two bottles of SH Gel shiny top coat (are you being discontinued, my love? Whyyyyyyyyyy?!) so I figured might as well.
What is your least favorite nail polish that you own?
I kinda hated the Revlon Moon Candy polishes. Well, the flakie topper sides, anyway. I hate glitters that stick up or don't cooperate so you wind up having the glitter catch and ruin everything. Oh, and I somehow ended up with two bottles of Sinful Colors Prosecco and it looks awful on me. Ditto Zoya's Brighton. Both make me think of smoker's nails and ugh.
What is your rarest nail polish?
Uh... I don't think I do rare polish. I mean, you could argue the Holo Tacos since you can't currently get them due to the shutdown, but they'll be back.
What is your most expensive nail polish?
Pahlish's Clockwork Castle. It was a freebie with purchase, but you had to purchase $75 worth of product or something. Which I did and technically it all worked out to be like, $6 a bottle, but I'm still counting it. :P Otherwise, probably Holo Taco, Midnight Spark as I bought that without it being on sale.
What brand do you own the most of?
I'm guessing Wet n Wild, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Otherwise, maaaaybe Sally Hansen just because there are so many different SH types. Still going with WnW because I'd buy first, ask questions never.
What color do you own the most of?
PURPLE. I'm not sure this is 100% accurate, but I'm willing to bet that if purple isn't the answer, blue is. Still going with purple though since it's my favorite color and the one I see the most swatch sticks of from this angle.
Which nail polish in your collection means the most to you?
I'm normally a sentimental sap but I don't think I have one at the moment. There are some I love for sentimental reasons (my first China Glaze is kinda ugh, but it reminds me of going to Ulta with Ari, so happy memory, and the great and powerfulluxken27 has sent me a few and they make me happy when I see them. :)
What is your go-to nail polish right now?
I was all set to say black, but I think I've actually slapped Zoya's Cosmo on as a filler for when a nail peels/chips more than anything else. It's so sparkly.

Date: 2020-04-17 10:22 pm (UTC)I might have to yoink these nail polish Qs, but I'd definitely have to put some thought into it. I haven't decided what kind of birthday mani I want this year and usually I've got that planned way before time, aheh.
