24. Who is least likely to respond? Honestly, questions like these are why I skip most memes these days.

26. When was the last time you cried? I'm pretty sure I got weepy over a book or fic last week, but I don't remember which one(s). And before that, I heard a sermon right before New Year's where the speaker talked about the year her husband died.

29. Who is the friend you have had the shortest that you are sending this to? I think the most recent addition to my friendslist is [insanejournal.com profile] gateway_girl. (We actually met at Lumos, but I'm slow and inconsistent about linkadoodledoos.)
