I've been tagged by the lovely Ms.
lambbaby!
The Rules:
1. People who have been tagged must write the answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new, original question.
2. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you. DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, MEME.
1. Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up.
My dictionary, my headphones, a framed picture of me and B1, my iPod, and the freeway.
2. How do you style your hair?
Ha. Hahaha. Ha. "Style." I brush it. The end.
3. What are you wearing now?
A pink short-sleeved shirt, a purple sweater/shirt hybrid thing, brown pants, and blue socks with koi fish on them.
4. What's your favorite color?
Orange! I like brown and gray, too. Uh, I'm not as dour as it sounds.
5. What do you hear right now?
A bus pulling into the bus station outside, and my laptop hum hum humming away.
6. Who was the last person you hugged?
My mom!
7. What are you thinking about right now?
SHA-LA-LA-LA-LA COPENHAGEN. AKA “Copenhagen China Box” by James Kochalka. Which I am not actually listening to right now.
8. What did you do today?
Dropped B1 off at the airport and then drove back to College Town with my mom. I spent the afternoon unpacking, wasting time on the internet, and reading.
9. Do you fall in love easily, slowly or not at all?
Not at all, I guess. Or at least not yet.
10. If you came across $2000 (or any other currency) would you keep it or turn it in?
I guess it depends. If I found it unmarked and somewhere there was no real hope of returning it, I’d probably keep it. If it was clear who it belonged to, I’d probably try to return it.
11. What was the last thing you bought?
Oh gosh, I can’t even remember. Um… No, I really have no idea.
12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world where would you go?
Istanbul, for sure!
13. Where do you see yourself in 5 minutes?
Right here at my desk. I live a wild, adventurous life.
14. Last book you read?
The Roar by Emma Clayton. GUYS, IT WAS SO AWFUL, I CAN’T EVEN TELL YOU.
15. What was the last movie you saw?
In theaters, Cedar Rapids. It wasn’t really my kind of movie. The last movie I saw period was Amadeus. I looove that movie. AND I SAW THEM BOTH YESTERDAY, HOW HARDCORE IS THAT?
16. If you could have any profession what would it be?
Pastry chef. I mean, it would be amazing to be any kind of chef, but if I had my druthers I’d definitely be a pastry chef.
17. Favorite word?
DISCOMBOBULATE. Also disgruntled. I like “dis” words, apparently.
18. What is one thing about you most people don't know?
Most people in RL don’t know I read fic. Most people online probably don’t know that I hate poetry.
19. What are looking forward to the most?
Starting Canal Dreams by Iain Banks. Also to STARTING SUPERNATURAL S3 TONIGHT OH MY GOODNESS.
20. Did replace any questions?
No sir I did not.
Also, I’ve got some recs to dole out.
