How many computers do you have in your house? 
Submitted by Foomper.

Two--One that Aaron has had since college and one that we sat outside Buy Buy from 10pm until 5:30 am on Thanksgiving night to get.

Three if I bring my work laptop home.

What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?

Foiled

Blue October

Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?

Tattoo

If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?

Probably the "Real" World. They get  a wicked house and shiny new toys and vacations and don't have to lift a finger.

Seems like that would get "Real" old, "Real" fast, though. That and that whole editing-to-make-people-look-crazy thing they've got going on...

They need to have someone on the "Real" World in a wheelchair. Maybe someone with elephantitis. Or a midget. Or someone who is blind. Or a monstrously obese person. You, know, different. Fucked up. Like people are in the REAL World.

What's the strongest association you have between a scent and a memory?

One that I can think of off the top of my head is CKOne (probably because I still have/wear it occasionally). It always reminds me of my freshman year at OSU when I was in luuuuv with this awful boy who wore it. I mean, I didn't think he was awful at the time. I thought he was the greatest guy I'd ever met. But I was wrong. Oh, well-- that's what college is for. Live and learn.

There's an air freshener called "Harvest Spice" or something that always reminds me of my sister's apartment in college when she had a bird. It's not a pleasant smell to me.

Other smells that are associated to happy memories:
Pine trees, fireplaces burning, American Eagle "Aura", Cucumber Melon from B&BW, Charcoal smoke, Aaron's old cologne from high school ("Catylist"), brewing coffee (even though I think it smells BAD, it reminds me of home/Grandma's), "new book smell"... I could go on for days.

We're going meta today: What questions would you'd like to see become QoTDs?

I think a great question of the day would be "What is your current computer desktop image?"
Interesting to see what people choose to look at all day long.

Here's my answer:

At work:

Sea Lion

Butterflies

Both pictures were taken this weekend when my boyfriend and I took an impromptu trip to the Zoo.
