vaznettiIt's been ages since I did a Friday Five. And now I'm doing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ethrosdemon's, because the questions are better--who cares about toothpaste, anyway? And because its name is Romulus.
1. What was the stupidest injury you ever got?
On my seventh birthday, I ran into a giant bronze elephant and broke my right front tooth in half. We were playing tag in the courtyard of the Natural History museum, and the elephant was base. I'm still not sure how I hit it tooth-first.
2. Have you ever knowingly sabotaged a roommate you couldn't stand or were mad at (even eaten the last of their ice cream or something even though you knew they wanted it?)?
In my sophomore year of college, we did drive our fourth roommate crazy, so that she dropped out. But that wasn't completely conscious--she was just very particular and had a nervous breakdown. I used to leave my shoes around the living room because I knew how much she hated that.
3. If you could only save one food that was indigenous to the Americas, what would it be? (You couldn't ever eat any of the others. If you don't know what are, I will give you a few: chilis, tomatoes, corn, vanilla, potatoes, pumpkin, chocolate, turkey. Google it if you want a complete list, do I look like the Library of Congress?)
Chocolate, obviously. Chilies and tomatoes would be hard to live without, but I'd mange. Chocolate is a necessity of life.
4. What is the best Halloween costume you have ever worn or seen anyone else wear?
My personal best ever was Clytemnestra, complete with axe, bubble bath and big crimson towel. It was a party full of classicists, so everyone knew who I was. I think that's even better than the time I was Mother Teresa for the "Famous Dead People of 1997" group costume--although my roommate at the time was eerily perfect as Princess Diana.
5. List your top five hated people.
No. Anyway, there's no one I really hate right at the moment, although there are plenty of people who irritate the crap out of me.

Two of my freshman year roommates got into a physical fist-fight (!) over the placement of a pair of shoes in their bedroom. The four of us in the room had to be separated into two sets of two after that...we were the scandal of the Old Campus. *g*
I like this Friday Five. I may have to do it.
