The Interrogation
It's been awhile since I've been on this thing, so to refresh everyone's memory, my name's Mari and this is Who I Am in a hundred questions/answers.
1. Does someone have a crush on you?: A few that I'm aware of...
2. Last thing you ate?: A Kashi cereal bar. Strawberry filling, I believe.
3. Do you have A.D.D.?: What?
4. Who was the last person you messaged over MySpace?: Haven't logged onto that thing in about a year...
5. I cant wait until...: I publish a book and sell millions so that I'll never have to work again to support myself.

7. Who was your last text message on your cell from?: Noriko. ("din is almst rdy marz. get ass here. hngry.")
8. Are you paranoid?: Probably the least paranoid person you'll ever meet. However, am quite street-savvy. Like, when thugs threaten to kick my ass, confusing me for the wrong gender and a full-time, card-holding member of The Cracker Club (only half-time, guys *knee slap*), I generally hit the ground running. True story.
9. Favorite place to go on weekends?: Anywhere's fine, s'long as I'm surrounded by cool. Particularly, though, I like the bookstore and the beach at night.
10. Do you like the person you are becoming?: Yes.
11. Are you tired?: Yes.
12. Are your friends all changing?: Change happens as you age and experience shit; it's inevitable. The core, though, doesn't change. Not usually.
13. Is there an iPod near you?: Possibly... my iPod's been missing.
14. Are your parents strict?: They're pretty chill. Though, when I was younger, my mom went through the Asian tradition of Force Child To Music Ressons Take, Preferabry Piano In. As it turns out, my rebellious American side is stronger/more obnoxious.
15. What's the last movie you saw?: X-Files 2
16. Are you a friendly person?: Definitley friendly. However, if I don't know you well and you piss me off by doing something incredibly stupid, I can be incredibly bad-ass.
17. Are you a good driver?: Suprisingly so, yes. Now, if everyone would goddamn give me a turn signal right before abrubtly stopping and bending one, that would be great. Also, when I give a goddamn turn signal, slow the fuck down rather than speed the hell up. Thanks.
18. Do you like anyone right now?: Yes.
19. Do you have any tattoos?: I am still un-inked, though I am considering to get a tiny one, somewhere. Easily camouflaged. Maybe nude-colored ink...? Or invisi-ink! Only shows up when it hits the light at a certain angle.
20. Ever liked someone who treated you like crap?: Fuck that.
21. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?: I prefer sleeping alone, but... exceptions can be made.
22. Do you consider yourself creative?: Pretty creative. Productively? At times... at times.
23. What are you listening to right now?: The disc drive going in and out, in and out, in and out. And... [opens new tab, enters URL, click, click, click...] "The Wild Wind" by B'z. For I am wild. Like the wind.
24. Done anything you regret so far this week?: Maybe.
25. The highlight of your week?: Getting asked by Master Sang if I ever trained before in martial arts. Also, earning the trust of someone whom I respect a great deal.
26. Have you changed much this year?: I learned that I have the guts to get up in front of 300 people and make an ass out of myself. Will be doing that more often, yes.
27. Do you dress for style or comfort?: Mostly for comfort, but I do so stylishly.
28. Name someone with the same birthday as you: Prince William
29. Are you shy around the opposite gender?: Pretty relaxed around them until they start getting the wrong idea. Then I go Stony Asian on them.

[pause]
31. How many people on your friends list do you know in real life?: Most of them.

50. What do you look for in a guy/girl?: To set the record, I am into Banana, not Papaya. Moving on, I look for a good personality, and yes, good looks. The guy has to make me almost pee my pants from laughter. He has to be witty and relaxed; witty and kind-hearted; witty and practical; witty and optimistic, if slightly jaded. You get the point. If he has a smoldering gaze on top of all that, my pants are his to wreck.
