"For what's the sound of the world out there?"
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?
I have a medley of Sweeney Todd songs stuck in my head, mostly "Have a Little Priest" mixed with "Joanna" and "The Contest". Sondheim's score is truly genius, with its dark yet funny (in a macabre, ironic way) lyrics and the gorgeous overlapping of voices. I must get my hands on the soundtrack noaw! Thank you for uploading the songs, Meg! I really like the actors' singing and most of the acting in that movie was simply FANTASTIC (oh Sacha Baron Cohen, you hilarious multi-talented man!).
A meme that i stole from Nika
sadtoiletpaper :
What curse word do you use the most?: Shit, merda, merde, chier....basically variations on the same word. Although I've taken to using "scheiße" a lot, especially when speaking in English.
Do you own an iPod?: Nope. I have a Creative Zen.
What time is your alarm clock set to?: 7 AM...and it's utterly useless because I either don't hear it, or I turn it off in my sleep.
Do you still remember the first person you kissed?: Of course.
Whats your name?: I answer to Zizoune, Shiz and Betsy. (I do NOT answer to Zizou, FYI.)
Middlename[s]: None.
You are how tall?: 5'3"1/2 (around 163 cm I believe)
Has anyone ever called you lazy?: Me, my family, my friends and everyone else that I know.
Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?: Nope...although I have been knocked out by cold meds and too many Tylenols.
What cd is currently in your cd player?: Don't have a CD player....but if I did it'd probably be Michael Buble's newest one, "Call Me Irresponsible".
Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?: Regular please.
Can you whistle?: Yep. Probably better than I can see, lol.
What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?: The hair and the smile.
Did you watch cartoons as a child?: Everything. Disney, Warner Bros ones (Bugs Bunney, Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, etc.), French ones like Remi and Asterix and Obelix, more comics-based ones like Spirou an Tintin, Sailor Moon, Magic School Bus, pretty much everything on Teletoon and Tele-Quebec.... Yeah, I watched a lot of cartoons.
Do you own any band t-shirts?: Sadly no.
How many hours of sleep do you need to function?: Erm...either 3-5 hours if I've slept well the night before, of 8-10 hours. I think.
Do you eat breakfast daily?: I'd say 95% of times. And I always wash it down with a couple of glasses of milk.
Are your days fast-paced?: Medium...or slow, especially during vacations. They are rather fast-paced during the term.
How old will you be turning on your next birthday?: The big 2-0. :)
Do you sleep on your side? What position do you sleep in?: According to my parents I sleep "like a shrimp". I almost always sleep on my side, alternating between left and right.
Do you watch the news?: Not really. I read them in the newspapers or online instead.
How did you get one of your scars?: When I was 3-4 years old, I was riding in the back on a bicycle with my maternal grandmother back in China. I don't quite know how it happened, but my foot got stuck in one of the wheels (I'm not even sure if it was our bike or a passing one) and I have had a quarter-sized scar near my left heel ever since.
Last 2 things you purchased?: A book, The Devi's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce, and a cup of cappuccino.
What side of the heart do you draw first?: The left one.
What is your blood-type?: A. Positive, I think.
Is it all about the kiss?: Hmmm. Not really.
Dress size?: Erm...small or medium. Around a 3-5 in American sizes. 24-27 for pants, I think?
How much do you weigh?: Around 125-130 lbs I think. We don't own a functional balance so I'm not quite sure.
How do you feel about carrots?: They're great! I just don't love them raw all by themselves, unless they're baby carrots.
Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?: Sadly, I lack Fresh Prince culture lol. It was one of the first shows that I ever saw when I came to Canada though.
What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?: Press on the HELP button and then wait for it to get fixed?
What’s your favourite kind of gum?: Peppermint. Trident or Excel.
Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?: YESSSSSSS. "Turn around.....Every now and then I get a little bit lonely....and you're never coming around....ONCE UPON A TIME I WAS FALLING IN LOVE/NOW I'M ONLY FALLING APART/ THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO/ TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEAARRTTT!!!!" Lol.
Your hair is?: black/dark-brown. Goes down to about mi-back. I want to cut it soon though.
Who sent this to you?: No one did, I stole it from Nika.
Do you want others to copy this meme?: Sure, if they want to!
I think something's wrong with me...I'm always tired these days, my sleeping pattern is completely messed up, I'm having moodswings and I generally feel un-good. Like today. Got up at a reasonable hour (10 AM)...but I was so tired that I slept from 4 to 9 PM. Yeah. And now I think that I want to sleep some more. When I don't eat I feel famished, but after I do I feel bloated and thoroughly uncomfortable. The rash is better now, I still have to take allergy relief pills to keep it down. *sigh* Energy? Whassat?
On the bright side, I received as a gift this wonderful Biotherm lotion that smells like apricot...it's not overly fruity or anything and I swear that it smells better everytime! Oh, and my Body Shop stuff arrived in the mail....There were only almond-smelling interesting products left on the website by the time I went, so...almond-apricot mix? Am I brave enough to find out? Hmmm.
