weird meme / the state of me

i couldn't decide if i'm going to include the questions or not, cuz the whole "email me the questions" things seems laborious, but apparently I am a sheep (which really, sometimes is what meme-ing is all about isn't it?).

Rules:
1) Ask for the questions and you shall receive.
2) If you receive you must reciprocate.
3) Give only one name per answer (whoops, i messed this one up a little)

( 30 questions )

The mom (mine!) is here for a visit and so far it's been a lovely day - I dragged her to class with me, we had a great time, and then we goofed around the house while I half heartedly did translation.  It's going to be a bit of a weird visit since I'm pretty overwhelmed with work right now, but that's ok, because it's worth it just to spend time together.
