Avoiding Work
I really need to finish these manuals I'm creating (as a freelance for our local yacht club). There are forty of them, and I've gotten fifteen finished, and now I've avoiding returning to work. Which is bad, because they take FOREVER to put together. Forty books sounds easy, but considering I had to create thirty two unique tabs for each, then collate about eighty thousand pieces of paper (I'm not even joking), so far it's taken a week to do just those fifteen. I have to have the rest finished by this morning.
Yeah, I'm gonna be up until six again.
But stoodupforlove did a meme, and I'm gonna do it too because...yeah, no will power here.
Pick a word that starts with the first letter of your first name: I'm really tempted to say 'cunt' because I've been hanging out with Keith too much, and then cantaloupe because Kellie wrote a fruit in hers, but I'm going to go with Catharsis. Or Catalyst. Yeah, I like catalyst.
Without saying names say something to three people.
1) I keep looking, but I never find you. I hope you're looking for me.
2) I need closure, and I hate that you won't give it to me.
3) I hate feeling like I'm using you.
I'm doing four because...it's theraputic.
4) You smell. You are hygienically challenged, and I need someone else to tell you, because I may be a high-functioning sociopath but I'm not that mean.
The last song you heard? The World Is Saved by Stina Nordenstam
Is your LJ friends-only? No, but I occasionally (rarely) make Friends Only posts. Tbh, for a long time I was making posts just for my own gratification, and it's kind of weird now that I have friends who read them again.
What’s something that always gives you the chills? A whine or scream during a song that reverberates through your whole body. Or a guitar wail that does the same. Kellie wrote this, and I agree whole heartedly. Also, that moment in the movie where the music swells- but not if it's corny, it has to be just right- and you know something good or terrible is going to happen? That's not a good description- think when the Master dies during season three of Doctor Who, and the Doctor is screaming and the music just picks up and does that little whine things and it's all just PERFECT.
What was one thing you always loved at parks when you were little? Monkey bars, 'cause I was scared of heights and wanted to prove I could climb on top of them. (I always crawled over them. Hated swinging on them.)
Is there anyone famous you’d really like to meet? Urgh, yes. I'm gonna go with Kendall Schmidt and Bradley James right now.
Do you do your own laundry? I did until I moved back home, and now I do sometimes. Mostly my mom gets sick of it sitting downstairs and does it herself. WIN. I am lazy.
What do people think about you that isn’t true? That I'm outgoing. I get told that a lot by adults and my bf's friends, but unless I'm under the influence of alcohol and can be insanely crude or am at a job interview where I know I have to look fearless, I'm insanely shy. I try not to show it though.
How many months until your birthday? Noooo, math. Okay, uhhhh...six and a halfish? January 14, someone else do the math for me.
What are you listening to? I'm currently addicted to Metric's 'Gimme Sympathy' and 'The Last Song Ever Written' by Stars.
Does it bother you when your friends bring up your past mistakes? See, most mistakes I'm not ashamed of, but there's one or two times where embarrassment has caught me off guard- over ridiculously tiny things- that still make me burn with shame. Weirdest, most ridiculous example: my ex, his friend from Atlanta, and I were talking about the song Welcome To Atlanta (Remix) by Jermaine Dupree, and the friend dude was all, yeah, the places they talk about in Atlanta are real and I've been to them and I was like, well the NYC places are too, like Bungalow Eight....then I realized that was obvious and felt stupid- and I guess that's the point right there- I'm a smart girl, I went to an honors hs and a prestigious college- where I didn't end up staying, so when I despise feeling stupid, because I feel like I have something to prove. Also, any time I think about this past New Year's Eve and how I may or may not have thrown up in front of my mom, but I can't remember? Yeah, same thing. Lame.
Name the first person you can think of that you know that has a tattoo. Chris, from HS maybe? Or my friend Maria? Or actually- wait, no, the first person I can think of is Amanda- I thought it said the first person I knew who had one- which would actually be my brother.
Do you like winter time? Yes. Second favorite season after fall- because I love the leaves and Halloween.
What was the last movie you saw? In theaters, Despicable Me. On TV, Motocrossed.
Who is the first girl you’d go to if there was something wrong? Kristin.
What’s the last thing you laughed really hard over? Uhhhh...probably mocking my boyfriend, or my mom mocking me.
Favorite boys names? Tobias, Milo, Declan, Lucas, Maddox.
Favorite girls names? Prue, Dellacourt, Harper, Blaire, Bailey. Sensing a theme here? (original stories)
Are you ticklish? Insanely so.
What’s the best feeling in the world? Clicking with someone- so that you can talk about anything and laugh like a maniac and they still smile and feed your ideas.
How’s your heart lately? Wholer than it has been, but kind of yearning for something more- a challenge.
Are you a jealous person? Oh no. NOT. I'm territorial, bitches. Like a wolf.
Do you wear the hood on your hoodie? Not usually, but if my ears are cold. I'll wear hoodies with baseball caps sometimes, like when I'm walking my dog.
What TV shows will you watch tonight? I'm currently watching Doctor Who (or will be, when I get back to work) season two, and before I watched Covert Affairs. But we recorded tonight: Rookie Blue, Royal Pains, Project Runway, and some other shit I can't recall.
How long can you go without your phone? Not long. I freak when I forget it- and I'm not the kind of person who obsessively texts or anything. It's just a comfort thing.
Were you happy when you woke up today? Yeah, now that I'm thinking about it. Because there was a thunder storm, and I'd been truly sleepy, and hadn't had nightmares for the first time in a few days, and I love the rain- even though it had stopped by the time I got up.
If there were no letters on the keys on your keyboard, could you still type? Obvi. I type ninety wpm. I never look at the letters- the numbers, sometimes. Maybe.
Do you still speak to any of your classmates from elementary school? No. I moved around too much, and the only friends I retained were Maria, who moved away, and Eddie, who won't talk to me while he has a gf because he perceives it as cheating. I perceive him as an asshole, because despite a few drunken makeout sessions, I'm not into him that way.
Do you believe that there’s good in everybody? I'm not sure. I like to think everyone's complicated and the answer is yes, but what about psychopaths? Or like, Hitler? Maybe there's a spark of something that could be perceived as a good trait- a hint of emotion that might translate into good if nurtured- but I don't believe that everyone has the capabilities/will to nurture it. Also, my definition of good probably isn't the same as everyone else's.
Anything you’re currently looking forward to? Uhhh...BTR's new ep. Getting a job, because it has to happen eventually. GOING TO GRAD SCHOOL, hopefully sooner, rather than later.
Who was the last girl you saw? My mom. Young girl? Uhhh...probably Dora, last week, and isn't that frightening? I don't get out much.
Who was the last boy you saw? Uncle Mark. Young boy? Nakul, a few days ago.
Do you wish you were somewhere else right now? ALL THE TIME, not in the I hate this place kind of way, just in the I want to see the world now plz way.
What kinda of shirt are you wearing? A lime green and pink puma t-shirt I bought in Bangalore for like three dollars and is like, flattening my boobs. I don't wear it often, but it's been a sweats kind of day.
Has anybody ever given you butterflies? Not for a while now, but yeah.
Has anyone in the past month that made you really mad? My aunt. My mom. The usual.
Do you tend to make things complicated? Yeah, probably. According to my boyfriend, I feel things more deeply than most people (he likes it. I think it makes me sound like Miley Cyrus, and a little douchey). Which kind of makes me overthink a lot- but 'm also the kind of person who likes to say fuck it and roll with the flow, so I end up in a lot of freakish situations because I don't think- until I do. Also, I'm frightfully unobservant- like, I can read people, easy, but I won't notice a new picture on a wall for MONTHS. And I'm arrogant, and tend to think that I know best because I have this pragmatic line of thought (some call it tactless), and I'm a bit conceited because I've always been told I'm gorgeous, and basically I'm this combination of really independent/spoiled brat that no one knows what to do with. At least being complicated is fun.
Yeah, I'm gonna be up until six again.
But stoodupforlove did a meme, and I'm gonna do it too because...yeah, no will power here.
