what it do, babyboo?
This is what I do all the time. Find ways to avoid doing any type of work at all & when it comes down to it, I screw myself over, oh ho ho ho. Except when it comes to writing papers, I'm not too bad when it comes to bullshitting. Well anyway, I guess I'll start on my stats stuff after this...but I'll probably get distracted with reading. Or watching Jeeves and Wooster. Or reading. Or maybe House. Who knows. Maybe I'll make another cup of tea. Or actually eat breakfast. No mid-morning nap for me. Otherwise I actually wouldn't get around to doing my stats work.
Anyway, snagged from, bonorattle, survey no. 982841823, otherwise known as a tool of procrastination.
ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I had to get stitches on my bottom lip because my oldest sister pushed me off the bed & I cut my lip on my aunt's bedside table. If you look closely (but why would anyone want to), you can see the scar from the cut. By the way, to this day, she swears that I was jumping on the bed & I fell which is such bullshit because I remember exactly what happened.
WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
As far as I know, white.
DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
I've been known to talk in my sleep (I also like to have conversations with people who do the same while I'm awake just because it's so damn priceless), but my mom told me I grind my teeth too.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
Everything. But not so much country & as my former roommate described it, 'none of that kill your mom music.' But at the moment, I've been listening to nonstop jazz and blues, folk-ish type stuff, Tokyo Jihen, Arashi (seriously.), & of course, DeVotchKa & Beirut.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
No, not really. Every time I ask my mom, she says she doesn't remember. D=
WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Some food maybe. Maybe working on the House set. Interning it there would be awesome. I miss my studio production class.
WHAT DO YOU MISS?
As much as I love being back down in LA, sometimes I miss living in San Francisco. I know I wouldn't get the same opportunities living up there as I would down here, but it was just easier to get around. I didn't have to sit in hours of traffic to get to school or back home. I could take the BART to get downtown or go visit my aunt for the weekend. Oh well.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION(S)?
Octavius Jones, my MacBook Pro. Oh, & probably my iPod too, which is unfortunately still nameless. It has all my music & I need to borrow a PC so I can hack it to get all my music on CDs, haha.
HOW TALL ARE YOU?
5'2 1/2, 5'3 on good days, haha.
DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
If I've just watched a horror film, then my imagination just continually runs on overdrive for weeks.
WHAT COLOR UNDERWEAR ARE YOU WEARING?
Baby blue. I just checked, haha. Do people still use baby blue to describe that shade?
WHAT'S YOUR WORST FEAR?
Not being able to do what I want to do with my life. Being an unaccomplished film and television student.
WHAT TYPE OF DEODORANT DO YOU USE?
Degree Clinical.
COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
Coffee, not a big energy drink fan.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT RIGHT NOW?
I'm sure there are so many ways I can spin this, but I won't. I'm actually hungry for some breakfast food, so pancakes. Or maybe waffles. With breakfast sausages and bacon. Or maybe some Cocoa Pebbles.
FAVORITE COLOR OF ALL TIME?
But I have so many! I think I'll go with purple though, it's been one of my favorites for as long as I could remember.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST MEANINGFUL GIFT YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED?
I could be all spiritual with this & be like 'from God'? But seeing as I'm not exactly religious anymore (I seriously don't know if I'm agnostic or atheist), I won't. But I do cherish my 'gift of music.' If I didn't play piano or trombone or ukulele or guitar, I don't know what I'd do.
WHAT TYPE OF COLOGNE/PERFUME DO YOU WEAR?
I don't wear perfume.
FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND?
I do like shirts from Fossil. Threadless too. So I guess Fossil & Threadless.
ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?
I can kinda learn music by ear. I'm working on it though.
FAVORITE MOVIE?
The Fall! and Trainspotting! Empire Strikes Back too. Raiders and Last Crusade. Cube and Naked...I could go on for quite some time.
COKE OR PEPSI?
Don't drink soda. Unless it's used as a chaser, but no soda.
WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU DRIVE?
Toyota 4-Runner, lolz.
ANY PETS?
I miss my dog, dammit.

FAVORITE PLACE?
Anywhere I can be with my music & books.
YOUR WEAKNESSES?
Damn good food, a damn good drink, music, literature, & my fangirlish crushes.

Oh yeah, the director of Love and Basketball and the lead actress from the movie...her name escapes me.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
Moscow Mules! I liked the chu-hai my sister made at my aunt's house, that was good.

ANY BAD HABITS?

ARE YOU A JEALOUS PERSON?
I can be.
DID YOU HAVE A SANDBOX WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE?
Hm, there was a sandbox at Pinecrest...but other than that, no. I remember the Boardwalk though!
DO LOOKS MATTER?
No, I don't think so. But first impressions are important.
HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
I vent uncontrollably with as many words as possible. But I'm gonna start exerting my anger through physical means. So I'll probably start running again.
WOULD YOU RATHER GAIN 58 POUNDS OR LOSE 58 POUNDS.
If I gain 58 pounds, I'd be 'overweight', if I lose 58, I'd be anorexic. This is all based on my height/weight crap thing stuff.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
Hm, I remember this toy that I got in 1st grade...we were doing this White Elephant thing for Christmas. To this day, I'm still not sure if it was a Transformer or Gundam.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR ENEMIES?
'Mock every aspect of their pathetic existence(s).' <- I'm so stealing this answer cause I have no other way to phrase it.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
I really liked One Sweet Whirled from Ben & Jerry's. & Green tea, mmmm.
PLANS FOR TONIGHT?
Attempting to get home before 8 so I can watch House (stunna shaaaades), eating, reading, avoiding homework like no other. Pretty much the usual.
I hate my phone, it's going crazy. One thing I don't like about touch screen phones, specifically the Glyde, it'll randomly go off like someone IS touching the screen when it's just lying there, wtfffff.
Okay NOW I'll start my stats thing. Dammit.
