meme!
Meme stolen from sasha_b:
1. Your name
DG. There are a host of other nicknames out there. And no, no real names on LJ =)
2. All the places you’ve lived
California, WA state
3. Your first best friend
A boy that lived in the neighborhood, Johan. We went everywhere together.
4. Your childhood fears
Aliens. It's complicated. Gremlins (from the first movie). Spiders. Snakes.
5. What you were like in high school
Odd. Very, very odd. I didn't have a set "clique", I kind of wandered around all of them. I didn't really have time to bother with them, you know? And I had a really strict family, so hanging out, going to the movies with people was rare.
6. Your favourite and least favourite subjects at school
English (not the teacher, though because he was a DICK) and AP Spanish (because she was a horrid harridan)
7. Your first boyfriend or girlfriend
Sage, in freshman year. God, that was a train wreck!
8. Your oldest hobby
Reading.
9. Your sexuality
Himself.
10. What you look for in a partner
Himself.
11. Your kids, or your feelings about having kids
You know, there's a reason why I say crazy breeds like black mold in my family's genes. So that would be a probably-not. We're still not sure, and we've got plenty of time to decide before I pass my childbearing years.
12. Your pets, past and present
Dogs, lots of them. The last that was mine alone died ten years ago and I still can't think about getting a new one without wanting to burst into tears.
13. Foods you love and foods you hate
Pasta. God, but I love pasta. So bad for me though. Chocolate, but I'm finding I have to be careful with that, now. I hate, hate, hate fatty meat, like Kobe beef? Makes me want to vomit. Pork chops. Some types of melons. Most cheeses. Pickles.
14. What your life was like ten years ago
A mess, both physically and emotionally. I was just entering the first stages of the medical stuff I'm still dealing with and going through a nasty shit storm of betrayal with my ex-best friend and all the shit she pulled, to both me and all the rest of our friends.
15. How much alcohol you drink
None. I used to drink pretty regularly, but with my medical stuff, it's become a very, very, very, very rare occurrence, now.
16. Your worst illness
I have a chronic condition that's put me in the hospital a few times. I've been dealing with it for more than ten years now and I'll have to manage it for the rest of my life.
17. What you do at work
Lots and lots of typing.
18. A question or comment people should never make to you
Anything sexist. Or racist. I'll go from calm and rational to spitting and foaming at the mouth in under three seconds. It's not pretty.
19. The style of clothing you feel most comfortable in
Hoodies and corduroy pants.
20. Whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert
Introvert.
21. Who you have a crush on
Himself. And possibly Francesco Totti.
22. A friendship you lost
K. It was really ugly. She back stabbed me so hard, I was gun-shy of forming any type of friendships for years and years after we stopped speaking.
23. Three achievements you’re proud of
1. Graduating college.
2. Marrying Himself.
3. Moving out of California.
24. Your political views
I have them. It mostly boils down to common sense and a deep hatred of the far right radical wing.
25. Your religious beliefs
I have them. But I don't like talking about them.
26. Your perfect night out
Going into the city to a museum, then off to a sports game in a packed arena, to come home late at night, with the radio turned up and the windows rolled down.
27. Whether you like to plan ahead or be spontaneous
Due to a variety of mental issues, spontaneous is kind of hard for me to be. I have to have a plan for the day. Sometimes getting from point A to E can vary a bit, but I'll have to hit every point that day or my head goes places that it shouldn't. When I don't have a plan for the day, then it gets dicey. Sometimes I'm fine, most times I'm far closer to crazy than I'd like.
28. What you look for in a friend
Compassion, a healthy amount of snark, and a willingness to not try and change me.
29. Whether you’re a night owl or a morning lark
Both? I stay up late and get up early. My sleeping patterns are still out of whack.
30. How you would like people to remember you
It would be nice to just be remembered =) Other than that? Nice hair!
