I was the light from the lamp on the floor and only as bright as you wanted me to be.
I've only got one week of Easter break left, and I haven't even touched my homework. For serious. I dumped them on my bedroom floor two weeks ago and they've only been moved recently by my mother because she got sick of the mess on my floor. Or rather by the fact that there is no floor in my room. I used to trip over everything when I needed to get up or get into bed. (This morning I woke up with the line "I hope the air serves to remind you my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath" from this song thinking of a certain someone ಠ_ಠ Ahem.)
Yup, today was absolutely unproductive. I spent it sleeping, eating, prodding - but not scratching - my blisters, catching up with a bunch of animu and manga and trying to read Macbeth.
Also, meme I stole from needasunrise to make me feel like I actually accomplished something. Memes make me feel that way.
1. If I were a doll, the accessories packaged with me would be: I don't want to be a doll. But if I were, I'd probably be one of those ugly, cheap kinds but I hope not with the bad fake blond/red hair. I'd be packaged with cheap denim capris even though I never wear capris, mismatched wedge sandals even though I do not wear those either and a cheap-looking white button-up blouse. And I'd have irrationally long eyelashes plastered to my cheap, plastic forehead.
2. I have an irrational fear of: Growing up to be just like my parents.
3. What type of food do you eat at your grandparents' house? Homecooked Filipino food. Sometimes we have some Oriental and Western dishes.
4. What did you do yesterday? Sleep, eat, chat online, fight with my mom, reapply calamine lotion, watch TV, get mad at my dog and be depressed.
5. What would you do if you were stranded on an island with the person you hate most? Butcher her and feed her to random monkeys. Then the monkeys would hunt me down later, probably wanting to get more of where that chum came from and they'd end up killing and eating me. No problem, I never planned on keeping myself alive for rescue if that were ever the case.
6. What would you do if you found out you had been cheated on? Cry a lot because I can, get angry at him, then reason out the situation and... maybe dump the guy. If I could.
7. Do you stalk anyone on Myspace? I don't even have an account there. But Matthew Lush is a fun specimen.
8. I find the thought of childbirth: Absolutely wonderful and tragic.
9. Next door to my house is: A lonely apartment that's always dark and the only occupant I've seen is this portly Malay woman.
10. My feet are: Dry and in need of a pedicure.
11. Lyrics from the song you're listening too: If you could see the way you breathe, the oxygen is all you have.
12. Who is your number one Myspace friend? N/A.
13. Know how to cook? Yeah, just too lazy to. Also, I hate the taste of my own cooking, so I am always eager to give away what I cook. (Just ask private_part.)
14. I am annoyed with: My chicken pox.
15. What is the worst way you were dumped? He didn't dump me.
16. What child-related smell do you not like? Their sweat. Little kids sweating just has this smell... mildly musky and sour, but aromatic to some crazy people.
17. What sea creature scares you? Minnow fish >:
18. What color hair do most of the people you are around have? Black.
19. What object have you broken most recently? A rubber band. For my braces.
20. Name one of the Spice Girls: Scary Spice.
21. What was the last thing to make you cry? P.S. I Love You. Like, so much.
22. What are the stems on wine glasses for? To look sexy. I don't know, who likes fat, short wine glasses? That is so not posh. Also, I guess they resemble roses. The whole red and white wine thing... a euphemism to a certain atmosphere/situation/standing. Never mind if you don't get me. I'm just trying to get into my lit student mood.
23. My favorite shoes are: Chuck Taylors, bitches.
24. Can you use chopsticks? Shi. Means yes in Chinese.
25. Do you prefer beaches or forests? Beaches. I just love the feel of sand on skin. Dry sand and dry skin, mind you. Saltwater, stay away from me.
26. What serial killer do you find most disturbing? Hannibal Lecter? Okay, so he's not a serial killer. I don't know any. I remember watching this movie as a kid where two people were talking about a serial killer and there was a box of Kellog's cornflakes in the background. So I thought a serial killer had something to do with cereal and he came out of TVs if you ate cereal at any time other than breakfast. I got scared and didn't want to eat cereal anymore.
27. Who knows a secret or two about you? You?
28. Have you ever burned yourself? Yeah, just once, when I was four and I touched a hot iron. I was curious.
29. Who is probably talking a load of crap about you right now? I'm too boring to talk crap about.
39. Where is your sister right now? I don't have a sister. Unless you're talking about my beloved yuna_tulin who is... I don't know where she is.
40. Do you believe in things that last forever? The only thing that lasts forever is the innate nature to tire of things we already have.
41. What are you listening to? Spider Pig from The Simpsons Movie soundtrack.
42. What do you smell like? Calamine and bed.
43. Are you married? I've been divorced four times.
44. Does anyone regularly other than friends or family tell you they love you? There used to be someone else. I lost him.
45. What's the most confusing thing to you? The Singaporean mathematics syllabus.
46. Do you have any bad habits? Yeah.
47. Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? Hell no. Unless it was as a university lecturer, I'd sooner die than accept that occupation. (So I don't get students like me.)
49. What’s your favorite color? Grey.
50. Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? Almost. In second grade, I left to wait for the school bus at 5 in the morning and the lift suddenly stopped and things went dark for just a while. I was really scared because I thought I'd be late for the bus and the driver was a mean, scary, horrible man.
51. What does your dad call you? Patrish. Sometimes Sweetheart but that's happening less and less these days.
52. Are you a good person? Not in the religious or filial sense, but yeah, I'd like to believe I'm a good person.
53. What are you looking forward to? School starting again. Oh my.
Also, welcome, ricordi! ♥
