1. What do you wish you had been named?
i'm pretty happy with my name. i can't picture myself with any other name. i'm laura. or "the" laura, if you wish.
2. What is the nickname most people call you?
most people call me laura. nigel has some ridiculous pet names for me. some cute, some ridiculously mind boggling. ie: "how you doin', my little can of corn?"
3. Do you plan to change your name when you get married?
yeah. i think i will. my only concern is changing my signature, which i've had since i was like 14.
4. If you could become any age you wanted, right now, what age would it be and why?
i don't mind being 23. it's a pretty good age. i wouldn't mind being 18 again for a like, a day, just so i could enjoy having tiny boobies again.
5. Why is (insert your favourite colour here) your favourite colour?
yellow. or green. cuz they're such fantastically cheery colours and they remind me of summah.
6. If your first choice of careers doesn't work out, what would you choose as a "backup”?
drifter.
7. What holiday could you easily do without?
easter. really. i never do anything, i can't eat any of the chocolate, and every easter i get some manner of crippling cold. my easter cold is right on schedule this year.
8. Assuming you have a crush on somebody, what is it exactly that you like about him/her? If you don't have a crush, what is the one quality that the person absolutely has to have?
a fantastic sense of humour and empathy.
9. What singer or band can you imitate the best?
sometimes when i listen to her a lot, i can sound like emily haines.
10. If your life were a book, what genre would it be?
it'be linda like a chuck palahniuk book. outrageous plot, over the top characters, lots of seemingly useless information which oddly enough comes in handy when you'd least expect it. and nestled in all of that is a sweet little love story.
11. Do you worry about finding your soul mate and getting married?
i used to. now i'm kinda just letting things ride.
12. If you could choose how to die, how would you?
maybe just in my sleep. yeah i'm boring. shut up.
13. If you were the opposite sex for a day, would you have sex with somebody of your former sex? Why/why not?
boy howdy. i think it'd be neat. i've always wondered what a blow job feels like.
