Survey.
Because I haven't done one of these in approximately forever, and I'm procrastinating. (Stolen from Mia on Facebook).
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I'm not sure you can call them scars. I have a piece of pencil lead stuck in my left palm from fourth or fifth grade.
2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Regrettably, not much yet. My favorite mirror in the world (gold scrollwork, love love love), a print of "Sleeping June", and a photograph of the Louisville skyline at night that my high school band director took. Soon, I hope to put up decals of a flying flock of birds.
3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
I do all three. I'm a joy to sleep next to. ;) And I drool like it's my job.
4. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
Um...Rock, classic rock, folk, classical, opera, hip-hop, pop, metal, symphonic rock...and Tool, whatever they are. See? I didn't say "everything", because I don't listen to everything.

COFFEE! Energy drinks are gross and scary.

Probably. I'm not sure what I would do about it, though.

Jewelry. Real, keepsake jewelry.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT AND THEIR NAMES?
Two or three. I really like the names Rand and Seamus.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Sort of. My middle name (sort of) and the general rhythm of my name is after Anna Theresa Wyss. It's really more of a nod.
47. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST TURN OFF OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
It's this weird dead look in their eyes. Like there's NOTHING going on upstairs. The lights aren't on because there are no lamps.

64. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE?
Macaroni & cheese. Potatoes are gross.
65.WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
I want someone, more than anything right now, who doesn't need to be taken care of. I want someone who can actually help me with my problems when I need it. But I need my significant other to be whimsical and creative to a certain extent, because I get WAY too serious if left to my own devices.
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
I don't really have one. Aside from family nicknames, but those are restricted to one person each.
