I have nothing original to say tonight.
Therefore, bring on the memes!!
First, and most importantly, audience participation time (stolen from several people, including pirateygoodness and jengrrrl):
Comment with 3 interests from my list, and/or 3 of my icons, and I will explain them to you.
(Man, would this be better next week when I've had a chance to get new icons. Bastards!)
and!
The "Grown Up" Survey
(Meant to be completed by those out of high school)
Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?
'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'Missed someone?'
'Told someone you loved them?'
'Drank alcohol?'
Here are 50 questions for the people who are a little more "mature"...
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Well, the cable bill is the only one i never pay. So probably that one. Although i'm REALLY not fond of my $425/month school loan. (Which, sadly, is one of several.)
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Hahaha.....oh, you're not kidding? Uh, I don't think I ever have. Seriously.
3. Last time you puked from drinking?
Never. Vomit-free since 93, baby! (Before, even!)
4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
Never. Is this one of those coming of age traditions I skipped? Damn it!
5. Name of your first grade teacher?
Can't remember for the life of me. Kindergarten was Mrs. Riley, though.
6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Uh, sleeping? Nothing, really.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Princess, president, CEO, clarinetist. Then musicologist, then film theorist, then pretty much nothing.
8. How many colleges did you attend?
Only the one, but man, did it work.
9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Uh, because it's time for bed. The shirt that I wore today I picked because it's nice and dressy while still being sleeveless, though. Which is good when it's hot out, but you're meeting a potential landlord and want to look nice.
10. GAS PRICES?
Ugh. Make it stop.
11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you?
Canada, maybe? Or Florida. Maybe Chicago or DC. Or Noho. Linds would have to come, of course, as would Steph & Sam & everyone in WPB, and I wouldn't eat healthy enough or drink enough tea if Jenna didn't come along. So uh, yeah.
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
Meh. I was already awake, so I pretty much just thought, "I have to shut off the alarm."
13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
I didn't think much of anything last night, blissfully. I just passed out.
14. Favorite style of underwear?
hipsters.
15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
I don't much care. Probably boxers. Not a big fan of the banana hammock, thank you.
16. What errand/chore do you despise?
Pretty much anything, unless I'm hypomanic, in which case, pretty much nothing. Dusting's pretty horrible, though.
17. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
Definitely.
18. Get up early or sleep in?
Oh, god, please sleep in.
19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
Can I say I don't have one? Cause I really kinda don't. :\
20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Talking. Movie. Watching TV.
21. Have you found real love yet?
Not that I know of.
22. When did you first start feeling old?
Oh, god. It depends if you mean "old" or "grownup", because they're definitely two different feelings. Old was the first time I went to my friendly neighborhood Starbucks and saw a bunch of teenagers hanging out outside. They were loud and noisy and inconsiderate and it drove me nuts, and man, did I feel old. Grownup was the first time I went to the city for business. The car service came and picked me up and man, I didn't even know what to do with myself.
23. Favorite 80's movie?
80s. Hm. Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, what else I'm doing, I will drop practically EVERYTHING to watch The Breakfast Club if it's on. Sad.
24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Bologna.
25. What do you get every time you go into Sam's Club?
Uh, I really don't.
26. Beach or lake?
Beach, by a hair.
27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
No. I think it needs to be expanded beyond its exclusively heterosexual definition, and I don't think it's for everyone, but I don't think it's outdated.
28. How many people do you stalk on livejournal?
A few. (Upon legal counsel, I'll leave it at that.)
29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
TV Guide and Mandy Moore. Actually, teen pop singers of most varieties.
30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
Don't much care who knows what I like. Nothing comes to mind this second.
31. What's your drink?
Tequila. Non-alcoholic: I'm a Pepsi girl, baby.
32. Cowboys or Indians?
Meh. Neither.
33. Cops or Robbers?
Meh.
34. Who from high school would you like to run into?
Oh, god, everyone who didn't hurt my best friend. Which is basically everyone but like, two people. Most specifically, my friend Stone, Em, and Ginny Pitzer, which is a long story I'm not getting into right now.
35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
No idea, since I don't really listen to it. Probably one of the AM traffic channels (880 or 1010).
36. Norm or Cliff?
Ugh. Who. Cares.
37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?
See above. Seriously, I'm so indifferent to these either/or questions.
38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?
Well, I've only been in like, two and a half romantic relationships. I'd take the end of two of those back if I could, though.
39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
Yup. Jean is cool.
40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?
I have a list. Upon legal counsel, I will not disclose it at this time.
41. What famous person(s) would you like to party with?
Not fond of partying, but I could be convinced to chill with Janeane Garofalo or Tina Fey or Ani.
42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?
Seriously. Um. I don't really have much of an answer to this, although many celebrities are hot. Gun to my head? Ani (of course), Justin, uh. Kate Walsh, Jorja Fox, and, uh. Mary-Louise Parker.
43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
Nope. *knock on wood*
44. Last book you read for real?
According to my books i've read list, it is Finishing Touches by Deanna Kizis.
45. Do you have a teddy bear?
No, but I have a Cabbage Patch.
46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
A campground, I guess. Random question.
47. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
I've never been to California, so pretty much....everywhere.
48. Do you go to church?
Nope.
49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
Relationship. Although mostly cause I don't have an old one.
50. Just how OLD are you?
I'll be 27 in several months, although I keep saying I already am. Weird.
that's really all I've got right now. Mwahs!
