Friday afternoon and memes.
I'm sitting here, it's 3:30 and I'm doing the last half hour of my shift for work. I'm torn between actually wanting work to do (there is none) and just willing it to be 4pm so I can go shower and try to do something fun this evening. It's amazing how the last hour of work on a Friday crawls by, no matter what job you're doing.
Swiped from llnaughty.
Part 1:
What is the closest main road to your house?
Queen Mary? Decarie? Autoroute 15?
Could you go out in public looking like you do now?
I think people would look at me funny. I'm in sweats and a t-shirt.
Which one of your friends lives closest to you?
SY lives a 20 minute bus ride away, so I think she's the closest. Next would be LS, about 30 minutes away by public transportation and then JB, about 40 minutes away.
What did you do last night?
Raided Serpentshrine Cavern. Hooray.
When you're home alone, do you dance around in your underwear?
No.
Do you wear contacts or glasses?
No.
Last person who got mad at you? Why?
IRL: probably my brother when I told him I had to work and couldn't go see Indiana Jones yesterday afternoon. Online: probably half my guild when I yelled at them last night.
Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level?
Depends on my mood. Probably louder than most.
Are you a beach person or a snowy mountain person?
I <3 skiing, which means I am a snowy mountain type of person.
Who was the last person to text you?
I don't text much. I think it might have been my friend Football? Yep, Football on Tuesday.
What annoys you the most?
Stupidity? Willful ignorance?
When do you prefer to take a shower, morning or night?
Night. As a result, when I take a shower in the morning, I usually feel like going right back to bed.
Next vacation you're going on?
No idea. No plans as of yet. Probably just up to the cottage.
Do you like scary movies?
Ehhhhhhhhhhh, yes and no? I can handle suspense films, but too much blood and guts freak me out. Also, anything that plays with my head too much is bad.
Would you rather stay home all day, or be out and about?
Home! :)
Last thing you purchased?
A pizza, last night.
Plans for tonight?
Not sure, but I'd like to see the new Indiana Jones flick in the next couple of days.
Do people ever spell your name wrong?
I'm honestly trying to remember if ANYONE has EVER spelled my name wrong. I don't think anyone ever has. Unless they removed the E and added an A at the end of my first name, but that's not spelling my name wrong, that's changing my name entirely.
Where would you like to live?
Montreal. Edinburgh. Florence.
Last time you spent the night at someone's house?
Christmas at my parents'?
When was the last time you were extremely disappointed?
Not sure.
What's your worst habit?
Slacking.
Is there anyone you regret ever meeting?
That's an interesting question. I'll go with no, because, even if I had a bad experience with someone, the event helped to shape who I am today. And I kinda like me.
On the opposite sex where do you like them to have piercing?
Not much of a fan of piercings on men OR women, to be honest. I suppose a lip piercing is kind of intriguing on a woman, though. Maybe. And I don't mind pierced ears (on women), but I don't adore them or anything.
Would you rather have roommates or live alone?
Alone, alone, alone, alone. Alone. Apart from my immediate family (with whom I've lived and not yet killed), there's like, one person I could MAYBE live with and not kill her or be killed, and that's PF. Of course, that's living together as platonic roommates. I have much less of an issue living with someone I'm dating.
Plans for the upcoming weekend?
Same as llnaughty, see Indiana Jones.
How do you like your grilled cheese?
White bread, just the cheese, melted really nicely, grilled to a medium brown. In other words, how they do it at my regular skihill.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
On a good day, I envision: involved in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful woman, living together, in Montreal, either back at school doing an MA or getting a career going.
On a bad day, I envision: living alone in Ottawa/Gatineau, working a government job that has me making use of my statistics background.
Where are you at noon everyday?
Lately? Asleep. During the school year, probably on a bus to get to school or in class already.
How many speeding tickets have you gotten?
None. No parking tickets, either. I rule. (I also rarely drive.)
What is your favourite movie?
What a limiting question. I REFUSE TO LET YOU LIMIT ME AND REFUSE TO ANSWER!
What is the last thing you said out loud?
"Ass," referring to my brother who called me and then hung up. I'm still not sure what that was about.
What do you think of the iPhone?
Meh.
What do you think of winter?
Fact of life. Also, YAY SKIING!
When was the last time you swam?
Last summer at the cottage? Maybe?
Do you keep your closets organized?
... no.
How do you make headaches go away?
I try, in order: Tylenol, decongestant, cold cloth over my eyes as I lay down in a dark room.
What do your shower curtains look like?
Plain blue.
How do you make eggs?
Sunny-side up or scrambled.
What is the next vehicle you are going to buy?
I have yet to purchase one, so I'm really not sure.
What would be the best gift someone could get you right now?
Money? A new computer?
What is something stressful you will deal with next week?
Shopping with my mother for shoes. A friend of the family's wedding.
Who did you last see?
Planned: JB on Tuesday.
Unplanned: The pizza guy last night.
How do you take your coffee?
Ew, coffee.
Where do you go for Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving isn't as big a deal here as it is in the US. But I generally see the family anyways.
What colour is your house?
My apartment building is red brick.
What kinds of alcoholic drinks are in your fridge right now?
None.
Part 2:
Do your actions ever scare you?
No. They sometimes surprise me, though.
Have you ever been in true love?
Yep.
Ever lied to make someone feel better?
Yes.
How do you like being lied to?
For me, the intent is 90% of what matters. If they lied to me to hurt me, I don't like it. If they lied to me because they thought it was best for me, I still don't like it, but they may have a point.
Did you forgive the person who hurt you the most?
Of all the times I've been hurt and all the people who've hurt me, I think I've forgiven them all. I mean, it's not like it's a hideously large number of people or anything, but I think all's forgiven.
Did they deserve to be forgiven?
Most of them did. I can think of at least two people who probably didn't.
Can your friends count on you?
I like to think they can.
Are you a good listener?
Usually. :)
Does it bother you when your friends won't help you out?
I put loyalty up there with honesty and trustworthiness, and I would put "help" as a part of loyalty. So yes, it really ticks me off when my friends won't help me out. I ask for help very rarely, because I hate not being self-sufficient in anything, so to not get help when I ask for it really pisses me off.
What's a regret you have?
Regrets, I have a few... Can't think of any that I would want to share, though.
Why did you cry last?
Had a pretty bad headache the other week and wound up crying myself to sleep.
Who's always on your mind?
Someone who probably shouldn't be. God only knows why.
Are you comfortable with your body?
More comfortable than I was, I think.
Have you ever broken a heart? Did you feel bad?
I have. And I felt AWFUL. Possibly two or three, total, but breaking someone's heart in person is SO painful. Seeing the pain in their eyes, feeling your own heart break for them... I've pretty much had my own heart broken every time since then.
Do you believe in God? Go to church?
Yes. And occasionally.
Do you keep a journal that only you should ever read?
I have a varied collection of notebooks and no one should ever read some of them, including me. ;)
Can you control your thoughts?
Occasionally.
Can you control your actions?
Usually.
How about your emotions?
Not a chance.
Have you ever done something that was really bad for yourself?
Yes. I do tend to avoid the "physically bad for me" stuff, like drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc, and I'm good at avoiding that. The emotionally bad for myself stuff is hard to avoid sometimes, though.
Who is it easiest to be yourself around?
drsnicket. JB. PF. MG. SY.
What can always put you in a good mood?
Huh. I don't know if there IS anything that is guaranteed to do so.
Have you kissed in the rain?
I'm pretty sure I have, at my ex's request.
Are you able to always be yourself?
No. I can say it in five languages: No, non, no, nien, nyet.
Is there anyone that you care more about than yourself?
As a general rule, I tend to try to put those I care about above myself. But there's no specific someone, no. It makes me sad to be (what I perceive to be) selfish like that.
What do you miss about your past?
Young love.
Are you excited about the future?
Not particularly. But then, I've never been one to look too much to the future anyways.
Do have any idea of what your future is gonna be like?
Nah.
How do you do in school? Do you try hard?
Did poorly in highschool, did much better for most of university. I didn't try at all in highschool and started out with strong efforts in university, but I'm somewhat back to my old habits.
Do you like to help others? Does it make you feel good?
I do, most of the time. Usually, I have to know that they're the type of person who would help others, as well. And it does make me feel good.
Are you trustworthy?
I still have untold secrets that people told me almost two decades ago.
Did you lie at all in this survey?
Not that I'm aware of.
And it's now 4:43 and I'm done work and done with the 6 phone calls I've had over the last hour.
Woot.
