math homework? what math homework?
as part of a meme-type thing, theyellowdart85 asked me five questions, which i shall answer as follows:
1)Since you agreed with the TTTYG--what is the track that means the most to you on that album and why?
the pros and cons of breathing, because it's perfect for those moments of adolescent self-loathing. i remember feeling shitty and taking long walks while listening to that song; it always made me feel better.
2) Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone.
i only read the book everything is illuminated because i have an inexplicable fascination with the word illuminate and also the cover was kind of cool-looking. this makes me feel awfully shallow, but i'm glad my superficiality worked out well in the end.
3)Describe your favorite photograph of yourself. Explain why it's your fave.
the ideal photograph of me would be of just a hand or an ankle or something similarly insignificant, but i'm rather fond of my myspace picture, which features me with windup teeth in my mouth. i like it because the teeth are funny and goofy, which catches everyone's attention and distracts them from my ugliness. plus, it was fucking hard to get those teeth in there, and i like to see my experiments with boredom pay off occasionally.
4)You like to write and you like words--list five writers that never fail to touch you in some way. (Not like in a Michael Jackson way, I mean emotionally!)
- francesca lia block
- sharon olds
- anne sexton (i've only read a bit of her stuff, but it's incredible)
- jonathan safran foer
- john green (he's only written one book, but it packs a hell of a punch)
5)"No sugar tonight in my coffee, no sugar tonight in my tea..." How do you take your coffee or tea? (if you don't drink those then...Coke or Pepsi?)
i take my coffee with milk but no sugar (i used to drink it black to make myself feel tough, but it's kind of gross without milk). my tea gets milk and generous amounts of sugar. i usually drink my soda as is, since it certainly doesn't need any more sugar in it (and milk would just be disgusting).
now i'm supposed to ask you people five questions each, but frankly i'm too lazy, unless anyone desperately wants me to pick their soul, in which case i will. phew, long sentence just now.
