Boredom is Fatal
1) What side of the heart do you draw first?
The left one, or as dad would put it: the left
2) Can you swim without plugging your nose?
Yup. I hardly ever need to do that.
3) What kind of cell phone do you own?
My cell phone's a pretty old handy-me-down Alcatel model (it may even be from 1998 or something...) that my aunt gave to me because I didn't have a cell phone. White, with a small screen, the size of my hand, and as hard as brick I've taken to calling it "my little brick".
Honestly, I could knock someone out with this thing.
4) What is your blood-type?
O+. Pretty common, luckily.
5) Where would you go to live for the rest of your life if you could?
Well, I've become fond of little villages after visiting Europe. My dream house could either near a forest or set in an idyllic medieval town set in vast, green fields and meadows.
But honestly, I'm also fond of the bustle and movement of the city so I would love having a department building in either Paris or London. Mostly the former. Or a house in Florence or Boston.
I also long for old house in New Orleans in the Garden District...
I can't really say, honestly which I prefer. Although I know that it would be somewhere in The States or (mostly) Europe .
6) How do you feel about carrots?
They're nice? (shrugs)
7) How many chairs are at the dining room table?
Six in case there are guests. We are only three in my family.
8) What color are your socks?
I hardly wear any socks. I'm bare-footed all the time (heck, sometimes even at school when no one's looking.)
9) What are your favorite colours?
I love warm colours so naturally brown is one of my favourites (especially with clothes), green, and purple.
10) How many windows are in your room?
Two, although a whole wall is made of glass so that makes one huge window. Sadly, because of the glass the place is like an oven most of the times...
11) Do you have aim, yahoo, msn, etc?
MSN but I hardly ever use it. It's boring and annoying.
12) Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Nope.
13) Do you have any pets?
Not anymore.
I used to have a beloved silver buff American Cocker Spaniel named Tan whose memory I still hold dear and miss greatly. I always tear up when I think of him and what may have happened to him. He ran away.
In our attempts to find him, Dad salvaged three Tan lookalikes from the streets whom we christened, respetively, as Tan 2, Tan 3 (later named only as "Gordo"), and Lucky, a female.
Tan 2 was a very aggressive stray who, upon closer look with daylight, wasn't like Tan at all. His coat was darker, sort of cinnamon coloured while Tan's was light like toast. He was easily provoked and he attacked anyone except my Dad and me. We gave him away to a friend of my cousin's, who is a vet.
Tan 3, or "Gordo" (literally "Fat") looked a lot more like Tan as he was silver buff and just as Tan, he was friendly, laid-back, and downright stupidly adorable. He stayed with us for a long while after we didn't find Tan and he fathered two litters with Lucky, whom we found a few days after him.
Lucky was onviously not a Cocker Spaniel. She was a mix between a Cocker Spaniel and possibly a Golden Retriever, as her long legs and golden coat showed. She was lovely although extremely over-protective, especially on me. Everytime I was near she would escape to sit on my lap and often fell asleep at my feet or beside me. Thing is she could be pretty aggressive with other people and she was hard to control. She even bullied Gordo with whom she had two litters. The first one consisted of twelve puppies. Four didn't live past the first night. The rest seemed all right and were playful and sweet. Sadly, since Lucky had lived in the streets all her life she had a virus that, although it wouldn't affect her, was transfered to the puppies and one by one they started dying until there were only two left, which I cared for very deeply. In the end we had to put them to sleep and chremated them. I still have their ashes in my room. The same thing happened with the second litter and our vet told us it would continue happening if he had more puppies. Some seemed healthier than others and only three pups remained. One named Midna, Kafei, and Rue. Midna died soon after we gave her over to a friend, Kafei is still alive with another friend thank goodness, and Rue which I had kept died as well.
We gave both Gordo and Lucky to some friends that have a house with a large garden about a year ago.
I've also had five cats. All left.
And two fish. They died of old age.
14) Do you like flowers?
Yes! My favourites are Daffodils :).
15) What did you do today?
Bleh... nothing. I woke up at 12:00 am and took a bath. Then, I read a little of this book I just got named "Here There Be Dragons" by James A. Owen, ate with Dad, accompanied him while he took a nap and read some more, then he went to the Hospital and I fell asleep until, what was it, 8:15 pm so I went downstairs and logged in while I skimmed the channels for some Family Guy or something good in the History Channel. Killed most of my night there watching a special on the 7 deadly sins, haunted histories, letterman, and other stuff in the American Channel. I haven't slept, honestly and I don't feel tired at all.
Currently working on some story I've been thinking about for over a week.
16) What's your sign?
Capricorn, and I always thought the monkey but now it seems it was the sheep. I don't know anymore.
17) Do you wear a lot of black?
Quite a lot, mostly with t-shirts or blouses. I've got some black pants and jeans. The colour that I use most though is brown and orange.
18) Are you close to your family?
Yes. I have a surprisingly close reltaionship with my younger, pubescent brother and a trustful (if sometimes a little tempestuous) bond with my Dad since mum died when I was younger. I get along pretty well with the rest of the family, especially with my crazy cousins.
19) Describe your hair?
Very long, wavy chestnut hair. Golden-ish with the sun. Easily knotted but also easy to tame or play with.
20) Ever been arrested?
Not yet, haha.
21) Have you ever had a dream that you were killed in?
I have a feeling that I have but I can't remember it right now...
22) Have you ever cried and started laughing out of nowhere?
I'm one for mood-swings, yeah.
23) Do you have a tan?
Not really. I mean, I'm not pale white like some or tanned like others. Just a healthy er, corn-coloured type.
"Trigueña" sounds weird in English...
23) When was the last time you went to the mall?
Wow, I can't remember. It's been at least a month. Man, am I pampered princess or what?
24) Are you wearing any jewelry?
Nah. Although I'm one for necklaces usually.
25) Are you a sugar freak?
No. I'm more into salty, hot, and spicy food. But I LOVE chocolate.
26) Do you like orange juice?
Yes, although I don't usually drink it. It's more of the kind of beverages I get during morning buffets in a hotel.
27) What do you want to be when you grow up?
I'm torn between acting, History (mainly the Middle Ages and the second half of the 20th century), or politics.
28) Can you count to ten in more than one language and what language?
Eh... without counting Spanish or English... no, hahaha! I can count up to five in some other few languages XD.
29) Do you miss someone?
My mum. Always.
30) Are you single?
Yes and I hate it.
31) What are your plans for this week?
Poke my eyes out. Again.
