1. Can you cook?
Not really, except for scattered random things like guacamole and creme brulee. I can boil water and therefore noodles. I can make sandwiches and salads. I can cook eggs. Basically I can't make entrees.
2. What was your dream growing up?
To be happy and to not give people a reason to not like me.
3. What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could sing. The quickest thing that I see people doing to wow others is to sing, and by that I mean sing well. Artsy talents that I might have require a bit more effort on the parts of all parties in order to impress anyone.
4. Favorite place?
I don't know that I've been enough places to really know the answer to that.
5. Favorite vegetable?
Spinach, red bell peppers, cucumbers, artichokes
6. What was the last book you read?
A book for school (typical boring answer). I'm in the middle of a fictious account of a twenty-something whose parents were executed during the Cold War as communist treasoners. It's kind of hard to get through sometimes, but still interesting... I haven't given up on it.
7. What zodiac sign are you?
Gemini
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
Just ears. I'm terrified of tattoos because I look back on things I loved as little as 5 years ago and wonder what I was thinking, and I can only imagine how those sentiments would translate if I ever got a tattoo.
9. Worst Habit?
Not having a filter between my thoughts and my mouth.
10. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
Um. Well, the person that I ganked this from, yes, I know her.
11. What is your favorite sport?
Probably soccer because I actually played it, though I love watching football and basketball games. Oh and hockey games aren't so fun on TV to watch but they're pretty awesome to attend.
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I fluctuate.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Be really awkward and stand in the corner and stare at the buttons and wonder what you thought about the way I looked and acted and if I seemed like the kind of person you'd want to get to know if only we weren't forced into a claustrophobic elevator situation. No, really.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
I'm not sure. I've had plenty of bad things happen to me in the context of my own life, but I can't help but compare them to things that other people have experienced and end up casting a rosy shadow on my own past.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
I've become a snuggler, though I'm not very good at it.
16. Do you have any pets?
Yes.
17. Do you know how to do The Macerana?
As a matter of fact, I once won a Macarena contest, showcasing my superior skill and talent. I won a musical jewelry box.
18. What time is it where you are now?
12:32AM
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
I'm indifferent. There are some cute clowns, and there are some scary clowns. I don't go out of my way to emote strongly in either direction.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I would want the same musculature that I had, oh say, back when I got physical exercise.
21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Crime partner first, conscience later. The very worst kind of hypocrite.
22. What color eyes do you have?
Green.
23. Ever been arrested?
Negative.
24. Bottle or Draft?
Um. Handle.
25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it?
That barely covers one year of grad school tuition. But that aside, spend some on things I might need, save the rest.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew?
I don't chew gum.
27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?
There's this janky place called Fu's palace that makes delicious cream cheese wontons and egg rolls that are even more remarkable when, well, you know. But I don't go there as part of a regular practice; my sorority uses it for many of our classiest functions.
28. Do you believe in ghosts?
Realistically speaking, no. However, there is a big part of me that really would like to be proven wrong.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Hang out. Sleep.
30. Do you swear a lot?
I've been trying not to lately. I sometimes fail. I've all but eliminated the f-word (teehee) but I still come out with "Shit, I don't know" and general interjections of "Crap" on a fairly regular basis.
31. Biggest pet peeve?
My biggest? That's hard. There are a lot of things that really frustrate me. That being said, something that's on my mind right now is that I hate what my feet feel like after they've been in the sand, as in, the grime that the sand leaves behind. It drives me inexplicably crazy. Random, but there you go.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Confused. (but not in a space-cadet kind of way, more in a crossroads-in-my-life-where-do-i-go kind of way)
33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
No. (Dumbest question ever, obviously I wouldn't fill this out and keep it somewhere for myself just to giggle at it in the solitude of my own company)
