1.What curse word do you use the most?
It’s a toss up between fuck and shit.
2. Do you own an iPod?
No. I’m not opposed to getting one. I just haven’t so far.
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
Maggie. I see her almost every day.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
Usually 10:30 p.m. on the nights that I work. I try not to set it on the weekends if I can avoid it at all. I set it for 9:30 on Sundays, but I usually get up before then.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Yes. It was on a school bus. Very bumpy.
6.Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?
Yes. I was driving home from an early morning errand and heard it on the radio. Then I spent the morning glued to the TV and phone. I still hate the sound of planes flying overhead.
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
I would much rather take the picture.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
I watched Pretty in Pink with Maggie recently. I also recently saw Valentine’s Day, which I was surprised to like, with Maggie, Sarah, and Joe. And I saw Copout, which was pretty cute, with Austin and Ryan. I'm just not sure which of these was the latest.
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Yes. So many of them. I almost fear that it’s contagious.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Not really. I can be quite lazy, though.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
Sometimes. It’s herbal (and legal, just to be clear), but it’s in pill form, so I guess that counts.
12. What CD is currently in your CD player?
The David Crowder that Tammy bought me.
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
I love chocolate milk. I hardly ever drink it, though. I usually just buy skim.
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Yes. And it’s a good one. You wish you knew.
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
Last time I went to World Mandate. I spent the morning praying for South America and then went to Starbucks, whose failure to pay enough to make all their coffee fair trade plays an integral role in keeping so many workers trying to make an honest living (i.e., not resorting to drug trade) in those countries from doing so. My hypocrisy was intense and sobering. I haven’t been back since.
16. Can you whistle?
Sort of. I try not to, though. It’s not a pleasant sound.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Arms, lips, hair. Unless they’re shirtless or pantless. Then I notice other things.
18. What are you looking forward to?
Mybirthday birthweek. Seeing Iron Man 2. Flaming Lips on Saturday.
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Yes. I liked Bugs Bunny and Strawberry Shortcake and Monchichi. I liked a lot of things.
20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
Yes – The Cure and Cocteau Twins
21. What will you be doing in one hour?
Pretty much what I’m doing now probably. This questionnaire is loooong. Or I’ll be answering someone’s question, as the kids will be up and milling about.
22. Is anyone in love with you?
No
23. What was the last song you heard?
Neil Patrick Harris’s opening to the Oscars (<3)
24. When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday.
25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop?
Desktop at work.
26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
no
27. What’s the weather like?
Dark. Probably humid. Probably 55ish.
28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos?
I am neither opposed to such things nor am I actively seeking them out.
29. What did you do before this?
Posted my previous entry. Two in one day! Lucky you!
30. When is the last time you slept on the floor?
I seriously don’t remember.
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I can function on four a day for about a week, but then I need to bump it back up to six, which is my norm. Six hours a day is just right for me. Rested without the threat of lethargy from sleep hangover.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
Yes. Even if it’s just an orange.
33. Are your days fast-paced?
They’re busy, but I wouldn’t say fast-paced.
34. What did you do last night?
Last night/last day questions are always confusing. Last night Sunday before working from midnight to 8:00 a.m.? Slept in preparation for said working. Last night that my body feels was last night? Went to Andaman with Maggie and Ryan, and then to the Hydrant to hear Stephen’s band and then Sweetwater and Rocky’s with Danielle.
35. Do you use sarcasm?
Almost constantly. Except right now, oddly enough. Totally serious now.
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
35
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
Define picky. I don’t think I’m particularly picky, but most of my friends would say yes. Of course, those are the friends whose spelling and grammar are horrid, and they just don’t care. So if by picky you mean caring at all that I don't write like a six-year-old, then yes, I am picky.
38. Have you ever been to Six Flags?
Yes. Not my favorite.
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
I get along equally well with both. Probably because I try not to pigeonhole them into sex-typed behavioral expectations. /soapbox
40. Do you like mustard?
I love mustard. I love it even more now that I have a new recipe for mustard vinaigrette that is delicious.
41. Do you sleep on your side?
Mostly, yes.
42. Do you watch the news?
Only if something disastrous happens. So yes. All the time.
43. How did you get one of your scars?
I ran into a post that we pitched horseshoes on and gashed open my shin when I was younger.
44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
Probably a neighbor. How hard is it to walk up/down the stairs like a normal person (i.e., NOT like a 500-pound gorilla)? It shakes my whole apartment.
45. Do you like anybody?
I like a lot of people. One in particular.
46. What is the last thing you purchased?
Soup at Olive Garden
47. What side of the heart do you draw first?
Left – and yes I did have to do it to figure that out.
48. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
Yes
49. What color is your razor?
pink
50. What is your blood-type?
O+
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
That’s a big commitment. If I had to be tied to anyone, there is someone I have in mind. But I’m not sure I’d really want to be tied to him for a whole day. Hang out? OK. That would be grand. But tethered to him? Not sure about that.
52. What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
Apparently, there’s a rumor going around NCTC that students in my class can never give a speech and still pass. It will be a sad day when certain people discover that this is untrue.
53. How do you feel about carrots?
I like them raw. One of my favorite snacks. I only like them cooked if they are in a soup or stew or something.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Three
55. Which is the best Spice Girl?
Is there a difference? I like Victoria Beckham’s hair. And her husband. So I guess I choose her. Which one is she? Posh?
56. Do you know what time it is?
6:29 a.m., although it will be later by the time I post this. So you’ll just have to trust that I looked at the clock and didn’t pull an arbitrary time out of thin air.
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?
Yes.
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Press the call button and wait for assistance. Get some reading done. Or talk to the people waiting with me and try to calm them down.
59. What’s your favorite kind of gum?
Dentyne Ice (wintergreen)
60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
False – Nothing is fair about either of those things. War hurts most the people who didn’t cause it and least deserve it. And love is only fair when it’s wanted, which it usually isn’t.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Yes. I have many TV boyfriends. I’m quite the TV slut.
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
I’m not even sure how that’s possible, but I want to say yes all the same.
63. Do you like to sleep?
Yes
64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time?
Arizona – are there others?
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Yes. Word for sappy word.
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
No. Not even a little bit.
67. What’s something you’ve always wanted?
A functional piano.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
no
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
No preference, really. I would rather be near the ocean than the lake, though.
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Yes
71. Describe your hair:
Curly, red, glorious, currently wild and untamed.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
After looking it up, yes. Yes I do. Especially the creepy ones that fly and sting. Although I don’t believe that this fear is irrational. Those little bastards would kill me if they could. They're up to no good - I just know it.
73. Are you an adult?
Yes.
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
Scattered all about. Most of them are in bed. Except for Magamemnon. She’s at Clark.
75. Do you have a tan?
No. But probably will have a little bit of one soon, since I take on color pretty easily during the spring and summer.
76. Are you a television addict?
No. I can quit any time.
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
Yes. She’s coming to see us soon!
78. Are you a sugar freak?
No. I have a low sugar tolerance. I like it, but it makes me feel a little wonky behind the eyes if I have very much of it.
79. Do you like orange juice?
I like the way it tastes, but it usually upsets my stomach, even if I eat something with it.
80. What sign are you?
Pisces. And yes I am going to use this as an opportunity to plug my upcoming birthday just one more time. *plug*
