A few meme things I stole from Squill for funsies.
The first one:
1. Tell me something obvious about you.
I'm ASIAN!
2. Tell me something about you that many don't know.
I've been feeling a little distant from you guys lately...
3. What is your biggest fear?
Never being acknowledged for what I do or am capable of.
4. Do you normally go the safe route or take the short cut?
I take the short cut. Then I feel extreme guilt, try to take the safe route, and not have enough time.
5. Name one thing you want that you can't buy with money.
Genius.
6. What is your most treasured possession?
I don't have a most treasured possession. My bookshelf, possibly? Maybe my computer, because it has a lot of writing I've never posted.
7. What is the one thing you hate most about yourself that you do often?
I get upset, then I tell myself that I don't have a right to be upset because there are people who have it a lot worse, and then I get mad and upset at myself for not letting myself feel upset. @.@
8. Tell me something about your sex life that I don't know.
It's very exciting?
9. Tell me something about your sex life that everyone knows.
It's surprisingly inactive.
10. What is your favourite lie to tell?
Telling people I'm okay with everything. God, that's emo.
11. Name something you've done once that you can't wait to do again.
Only one time? Spent time with my four best friends and all of us having a great time.
12. Are you the jealous type?
Yes. I get jealous over the stupidest things; I'm completely possessive.
13. What is the one person, place or thing you can't say no to?
Writing.
14. What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you?
I love it when people come up and give me random hugs. Something specific, I can't think of.
15. If you could do something crazy right now, what would it be?
This is completely lame, but I'd probably just stay up all night and sleep all tomorrow. Then I'd run around naked.
16. When was the last time you cried?
Last night :'(
17. When was the last time you felt so good that nothing else mattered?
Showcase, for Guard.
18. Do you have a favourite song?
Rangers, by A Fine Frenzy
19. Name something embarrassing you did while being drunk.
I can never remember--I mean, never have I ever been drunk.
