2001 vs. 2011

Feb 15, 2011 21:44

Ten years. I'm not really back on LJ, but I was looking back in the archives recently and I realized I started my journal in 2001, and I wanted to compare 2001 me to 2011 me, so I went and found the first silly meme questionnaire thing I did, and I'm going to see how much a cringe.. and give current answers as well. Just to see how much I've changed in 10 years.

1. Full Birth Name: Zoë Morales.. err, I mean, Emily Arscott; gee, it can be really hard to tell sometimes :)
hah. I don't see Zoe anymore because I don't live in Austin, but somehow anytime I go back there we can slip into our old selves. It's good to know. And I kind of miss it.

2. Nicknames: Emma, emma-sama, em, emmy, emmykins, aerish, aer, flaming_aerhead.. skychild.. i can't remember anymore
hmm, now I'd have to say just Em (though Mel still calls me Emms)

3. Natural Hair Color : auburn
yeah, no real change there..

4. Hair Color Currently: auburn! i can't believe after dying my hair PINK i actually found a dye this close to my natural colour!!
oh dear, I believe shortly after this I attempted dying my hair green and had very ugly hair for the next several months...

5. Eye Color Currently: brownish green.. hazel?
haha, Anthony has commented that he can't tell what colour they are either

6. Height Currently: 5'5", yet another thing zoe and i have in common! :)
Nope, haven't grown since. but now I know I'm 165 cm!

7. Glasses/Contacts: nuh uh, yo!
*cringe* yo? Really, 17-year-old-Emily? yo? But no, still perfect eyesight

8. Birthdate: June 8th, 1984

9. Screen Names: hrmm.. aerish, i'll just put that one since it's the one i use right now.. and Fagabond21, but thats got a long story behind it
now this has changed. Venart or Artven are what I usually pick these days, though I have gone with erscott a couple times.

11. single: *sigh* yes, although there's no one i want to date that i really CAN at the moment :)
Happily, this is not the case at the moment. Although I can't help but wonder who I wanted to date but couldn't back then...

12. Current Age: 17
26! (yeah, I'm a little under 10 years, but only by 5 months, this was from summer 2001)

14. Parents Names: Sheila and David, yo! ya know what? i think my dad is the only evil david i know, every other david i know ROCKS :)
Oh dear, I think I'm referring to people from IRC here...

15. Siblings: umm, john, he's turning 28 soon, jenny who's actually 25 now, rob who's 20 and Charlie, who is 22 months :)
as you might be able to guess, they're now 37, 35 (soon), 30, and 11.

17. School Attending: Anderson, home of the Trojans [insert condom joke here heheheh]
Christie's Education.. who knew I'd be in school this long after high school?

18. Average: my gpa is now 2.34 heh, i can't believe it actually went down last year!!!
A4, which probably trades at about a 92% in the US and an 84% in Canada

19. College: huh? wassat? err, i mean, i don't know yet ^_^
It was a blast, it took me longer than planned, I changed my major twice, and I decided to go to grad school!

20. Planned College Major: hmm, if my parents win i'll do architecture, if i win i'll do music , or if i get into savannah i'll go for furniture design and metal working
Whoa. So didn't go down any of those paths! Furniture design, really? Interesting. I DID get into Savannah, but I couldn't afford to go without the SAT scholarship I was ineligable for due to my residency status! I went to University of Toronto instead, and I ended up doing Art History (obviously).

22. Tattoos: i'm getting one for my 18ths birthday :) it'll porbably be very immature and be something like an anklet saying property of gackt in japanese or something.. heh...
Thank god I didn't do that!! Instead I got a rose and a robot XD haha, Scud, and I hate to admit it, but I think I'm starting to regret it.... and I do not yet have a good enough job to spring for laser removal.

21. Any Piercing: i used to have my ears pierced, but that was a pain so i let them grow in! :)
I got them done again in 1st year at UofT. And still have them. But none other.

22. Wanted Piercings: none..
Yeah, this hasn't changed.

23. Best Quality: my personality i guess(i sure don't have the looks)
Aww, 17-year-old me, buck up! You're cute, I've seen pictures! My best physical quality now would be my ... eyes? hair? depends on the day and humidity I guess. Personality wise it's the sense of humour, for sure!

**SOCIAL LIFE:**

1. a Few Girl Friend(s): Zoe, Karen, KC, Shanell, Jenny, Jennifer... umm, i have more in canada.. but the best friends up there are christine, alex, ange, tabby, and mel
I'm going to stick with Mel and Ana. Check it, Mel! You're on both lists!!

2. A Few Guy Friend(s): Patrick [asian], Gady, Jeremy, Trent, Raymond, Cody, Anth, David [Chibi], David [RPG], Graham, Patrick [Peebs], Robert, Maneli, Matt [punk], Wes, Micheal... and canadians which i don't feel like listing.. heh, i just pretty much left zoe's answer.. minus the jess :P and plus a ham or 2..well, one actually :)
Anthony <3 I really wish I could put more names there, but at the moment I'm in a bit of a friend-funk

3. Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? why, you offering? heh, great answer zobi-won kenobi!
Wow, did I just call Zoe "Zobi-won Kenobi"? few. Answer is yes, boyfriend GET!

5. Where Can You Usually Be Found: either my house or school. Or Momoko. "If I am not at home, I am at Momoko. If I am not at Momoko, I am onmy way to Momoko." ... or animagix ^^;;;;
in my room, avoiding my scary roommate, or at school, or at the pub, or at Ant's place. But I remember Momoko, and bubble tea!

6. What Type Automobile: heh, i don't OWN one, but i drive a 94 mustang gt
The mustang!! What horrible drama that car ended up causing. If I hadn't had that accident, who knows how senior year would have turned out? I'd like to think differently. No car these days, though.

9. Are You Active In Your Youth Group: kekekekekkkkekekekekekekekekekeke. pfft, funny question
Alas, I believe I am no longer a 'youth.'

12. Do You Like Being Around People: yup yup.. unless they're really rude and mean and crap
It depends on the people. I don't really like being alone very often, but that roommate I mentioned? It's worth spending all my time alone in my room to avoid her.

**MORE QUESTIONS: Who...?**

1. Have You Known Longest: ZOE!!!!
Probably still Zoe, but if I were to pick from people I talk to regularly, I would def say Mel :)

3. Do You Always Get Along With: everyone except trent :P
Mel again. I remember Trent, though. Hah, he could be a tool at times, but I still liked the guy.

4. Is The Most Trustworthy: ummm... i don't know...
Mel again, and Ana, and there are a couple girls at school I think are pretty trustworthy, too.

5. Makes you laugh? heheh, anyone can make milk go up zoe's nose!! heheh, umm, everyone makes me laugh too
Ant :) He tells very lame jokes and makes bad puns.

7. Is The Most Sensitive: sensitive.. jenny!!
Lately, me. Weird, right?

8. Has The Coolest Sibling(s): you think i have cool siblings? meh.. at times i suppose.. with the exception of rob, they all rock!! and rob is cool at times too.. so yeah, i do have the coolest siblingS!!! heheh, but other then me... umm, sorry zoe, ari at least USED to be cool
Aww, I love Rob!! what was I thinking back then? He was totally my hero! I honestly don't think any siblings could top mine <3

10. Is The Most Encouraging: erm.. wow.. i'm encouraging, cool! umm, how about people online, like the davids and such.. they're really nice!!
Oh, the Davids. I don't think anything good ever came out of IRC chatting. Although, the quizbot was cool. I think my mom is the most encouraging person EVER. She sent me an email yesterday that was pretty much "you rock! you're awesome! I love you! don't let Katy get you down!"

12. Is The Shyest: maneli!!
Hmm, out of my current friends.. no one, really, but Ant's friend Kelvin is really shy, and I'd like to think we're becoming friends, too.

13. Is The Most Outgoing: Jenny and Trent --->heh
I think Abby here at Christie's is really outgoing. Or Marielle.

14. Is Most Likely To Become Famous: isn't patrick supposed to take over the world?
Elias Quinn, my other roommate. But probably for something silly, like a reality tv show

15. Is Most Likely To Become Rich: patrick, IF he takes over the world
Oh, let me address this: Patrick never did take over the world, but I believe he's living a comfy life in Austin with Zoe <3 I don't know that they're rich, and I'm not sure who I would say is most likely to become rich now.

16. Is Most Likely To Wind Up In Jail: It's surprising none of us have landed in jail yet... But... *cough Trent cough* --->i'll just leave zoe's answer cuz it's soooo fitting :)
Wow, I hope Trent never went to jail... I don't think anyone I know is ever going to. Hopefully, anyways.

17. Is Most Likely To Have A Million Kids: I agree with Jeremy's answer of "pray that it's not Trent" ---> yeah, again, just leavin zoe's answer :)
No one, really. wow, we really ragged on Trent back then, I wonder what he's up to now?

18. Is Smartest: umm, DAVID(rpg)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
umm, no. Wow, remembering that guy, I hardly think he was very smart, just a few years older than I was. I met him a couple years later and was not very impressed. Now, I will answer: my brother Jonathan, or Ant maybe.

19.Without Thinking About It,Who would die for you? I doubt anyone would o_O
My mother? Why didn't I think of that before?

20. Complains The Least: umm.. karen
I don't know...

21. Biggest Flirt: trent i guess
Again with Trent? really? Now my answer would be... Elias.

22. Needs A Good Man/Woman: patrick.. seeing as i ermm.. dumped.. him.. i wish he'd just find someone who can make him happy..
Oh, that happened! Awesome :) But now I would answer: Ant's friend Kelvin. He's got really low self esteem, and he's really sweet, but he's too shy to talk to girls :(

**Other Questions...**

1. Who You Would Die 4? most of my friends prolly
Hah. Not anymore. Sorry guys, I'm much more selfish these days. I would probably die to save a random child, though. Is that my internal clock I hear ticking?

2. Have You Ever Loved Someone You Had No Chance With: pretty much.. yeah... *sigh*
Oh yeah. Who hasn't?

3. Have You Ever Cried Over Something Someone of The Opposite Sex Did: yeah, but it's not like i was interested in him romantically, this is trent btw, he made me cry a bunch of times.. but thats just cuz he's mean!! MEAN TRENT!!
Oh, ok, now I'm starting to remember. But I can only remember one occasion, really.

4. Do You Have A "Type" Of Person You Always Go After: yeah. Nice hair, funny, outgoing... Asian... O_o ----->nice answer, i agree ^^;;;
Oh dear. asian? really? In the long run, I have to say I really don't find asian men physically attractive! I've realized that my type is actually not-very-tall, but not-too-short white guys with baby faces and adorable smiles.

5. Want Something You Don't Have Right Now: i wish i could just leave all of zoe's answers up here.. and oh, that half of the japanese rock population is the half that deosn't include mana, toshiya, pata, etc, right??
Oh, the j-rock phase. It lasted a year, then faded out. Then the j-pop phase was about 4 years later, lasted a year, and phased out. What I want NOW, though, is the nerve to go down to the kitchen for food even though Katy is down there.

7. Are You Lonely right now: meh, there's always irc!!!
Yes, because I'm stuck up in my room.. Maybe I should have stayed another night at Ant's place

8. Ever Afraid You'll Never Get Married: who cares?
Sometimes, but I used to worry about it more. Now I just go with it.

9. Do You Want To Get Married: whatever will be will be
Yes, I really do. I really really want the whole package.

10. Do You Want KIDS?: ermm.. maybe, when i'm about 30 or 40 or.. oops, too late!
Yes, kids would be included in the whole package. I'm almost 27 now, so maybe in a couple years? Getting close, but I really want to be a mom sooner or later.

11. What's the worst feeling in the world?: oh god, wanting to say something you can't i guess
Being completely ignored by someone you see all the time, feeling like you're a guest in your own home. God, my roommate is a bully.

12. What's the best feeling in the world?: saying what you need to say!! :) and not getting laughed at :P
Lying in bed cuddling and being told you're awesome.

**FAVORITE:**

1. Room In house: well, there aren't many there.. so i'll say my living room since it houses the tv and the computer.
obv. mine.

2. Person to talk to about your problems: heh.. umm.. rpg? he's the only person i've ever really talked about problems with actually
Ana. I email her my problems when I get really worked up and it helps.

4. Song: heh
Fresh Feeling by the Eels

5. Family Member: i can't say, yo! prolly my sister since we're like, best friends!!
Umm, weird that I said Jenny. I've generally been closer with my brothers.. now I say Rob.

6. Color: LIME GREEN, like my name!! LIMEY!
Oh god, not lime green, the lime-green-hair incident of 2001 changed all this, btw. Red or yellow would be the current answers.

**HAVE YOU:**

1. Cried: heh
just this past Saturday when my roommate asked me to move

2. Bought Something For Somebody For No Reason: of course
No, there's actually always a reason, even if it's a trivial one like "i wanted to"

3. Gotten Sick: doesn't everyone??
A few times a year at least :(

4. Sang To Someone: actually yes, a lot of people.. -_-
Oh, karaoke good times. Or just general every day life :)

5. Said I Love You And Meant It: yes, but only once.. with the exception of telling my mother
Ok, that one time I'm mentioning here was a lie. To this day I still have not told any male significant other that I love him. Yeah, i know.

6. Wanted To Tell Someone You Loved them, But Didn't? yeah
Yeah. Once, and kind of now. But it's so soon for that..

7. Met Someone New: funny silly STUPID questions
I agree with 17-year-old me. Stupid question.

11. Moved On: never completely, yo
Oh yeah. oooooh, yeah. From everyone in the past, actually.

12. Talked To Someone You Had A Crush On: yuh huh, lots of times
hah, I never really had that problem, I could always talk to them, but never tell them how i felt.

13. Had A Serious Talk: damn late night rpg talks.. grrr... and i can't have any more of them anytime soon cuz he's sick with mono!!! NOOO!! "my world is collapsing around our ears, i turned up the radio but i can't hear it" *sigh* poor rpg.. i want to talk to him but he's sick!! aww, please get well, please please!!
Wow, Emily, you were a little too into this RPG guy. And it's sad, because he was a total loser.

15. Hugged Someone: yes*mental hugs, rpg!!*, but yeah, real hugs too, yo :)
Again with the yo. I am so embarrassed about my high school self! And yes I've hugged people, even though I'm not huge on hugs, I hugged Ant this morning.

16. Fought With Your Parents: hah, oh daddy!
Yeah, I have. Although, at the time I originally wrote this, I had never really faced my dad head on. I did that for the first time in 2008. And it was horrible. I'm not good with confrontation.

17. Dreamed About Someone You Can't Be With: *points to [zoe's] JRock collection*(mines not too big yet :P)
Actual dreams? No, I never actually dreamed about j-rockers. And off the top of my head I can't think of anyone I've actually dreamed about being with that I couldn't be with.

18. Ever Gone Skinny Dipping: umm, once.. o_O
No. That was a lie, as far as I remember. But oh wait, I did once, with Ambrose, at Adam's cottage. And my boobs floated and I was freaked out.

19. Masturbated: no actually, and everyone tells me i'm lying!! waah!!!
Haha, I totally wasn't lying either, though the answer has definitely changed now.

20. Kissed Someone: yes
Including a few frogs ;)

21. Kissed Someone And Regretted It: no
...yes, those drunken nights at the velvet. Probably about 4 guys, none of them all that hot, and none I ever actually knew the name of.. ew, wish I could go back to innocent high school me on this one!

22. Broken Someone's Heart: i think so, actually, i couldn't help it tho, it's not like i wanted to!!
Maybe one or two, but I had mine broken once, too, and it wasn't fun. So, sorry about that, guys.

23. Had Your Heart Broken: no.. my heart doesn't break very easily
*sigh* Yeah, like I said, it wasn't great. But I learned from it.
