Meme again, plus love.
So it's offical. I'm procrastinating on the State of the Journal stuff. I think I need a more boring life to wind up writing stuff like that. A matter of time, and of avaliable activities: Faced with a choice of doing important schoolwork, writing stories, hanging out with friends, playing games on my computer (ADOM FTW), and randomly writing decent posts for my LJ, I think the LJ one coumes in last. The exceptions are when I have an urge to post (those generally don't last long enough to make a decent post) and when something notable happens.
I have both of those currently, so I'll be doing a quiz-meme I copied off
trenchkamen , and mentioning briefly something I should write about at much greater length.
A - AVAILABLE: Sorta, if you get my girlfriend's approval.
B - BIRTHDAY: Not telling. It's in August, though.
C - CEREAL: Ew. I don't like cereal. That said, Coco Puffs are chocolatey, and chocolatey is good.
D - DRINK YOU LAST HAD: Apple Juice, courtesy of SouthWest Airlines
E - EASIEST PERSON TO TALK TO: Fudge. My wonderful girlfriend, probably, but there's a max to how easy it is to talk with friends. I can't tell any difference between several.
F - FAVORITE BAND: No idea. And no, that's not a band name, that's a statement. (I bet there's a band out there named that...)
G - GUMMY BEARS OR GUMMY WORMS: Worms, especially sour.
H - HOMETOWN: Born in the UCLA Medical Center, and LA is the closest thing to a hometown. I grew up traveling, though, so I've only lived in LA from age 9 through 16 - there rest were places like Hong Kong, Penang, Massachusetts, and the like.
I - INSTRUMENT: My mouth. I whistle, hum, and do other stuff. Most people don't like it. They say I'm off key. I like my music. Isn't tone-deafness great?
J - JUGGLE: It's called throwing without aiming, buddy. Make sure I juggle somethign soft and non-dangerous.
K - KILLED SOMEONE: All manner of animals, but excluding the right of bugs to life (I feel guilty about many of my killings), then not much.
L - LONGEST CAR RIDE: Ride? As in continuous being in-or-near car-ness? I have no idea. Longest car journey would be my dad driving me from Massachusetts to Los Angeles.
M - MILKSHAKE FLAVOR: Chocolate. Mint if they have it. Both if they can manage it. Vanilla if I have had a lot of chocolate lately.
N - NUMBER OF SIBLINGS: Two. I have two older half-sisters, and a younger half-brother and younger half-sister. I grew up as an only cild until my world was shatered at the age of twelve. Then I had to change diapers and other horrors that are not meant for little children or younger teenagers.
O - ONE WISH: Come back to me when someone I love dies. I'll have an answer then, I bet.
P- PERSON WHO CALLED YOU: ...no idea what this question means?
Q- QUICKIE: Thanks for the thought, but no.
R - REASON TO SMILE: Everything. I fail to get it on my face most of the time. Probably because I'm to idealistic for me to actually believe myself. But I should be smiling at everything, good or bad, that life throws at me.
S - SONG YOU LAST HEARD: My ears are still ringing from... the malfunctioning smoke alarm! I actually don't little to much music. Does the music to the Battle of Hoth (You people understand me just saying stuff, goddess bless) count? What about music from Escaflowne? I think the Hoth one I listened to back in LA, so that should be the last one.
T - TIME YOU WOKE UP: Five forty something. I had to catch a plane. Did you know that if you are late, and your baggage is the latest, your baggage winds up the first on the carousel? (Alternatively, it might be waiting for the next flight, but that's not actually what happened.)
U - UNDERWEAR: Stuff from Costco. My mother buys. It's white, and comfortable. I'm not ogign to wiki types of underwear just so I can tell you what type it is.
V - VEGETABLE YOU HATE: I don't. I'll eat most any vegetable, even if swallowing it allows everyone else to see every muscle on my neck. Some asian vegs are... special.
W - WORST HABIT: Procrastination. Lack of focus.
X - X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD: Teeth at the dentist's, jaw at he orthodontists, chest at UCLA. I don't remember what hte various chest x-rays were for. Might have been the pneumonia I got one winter. Oh, and one of the head ones was for my sinus problems, I'll bet.
Y - YOUR NUMBER OF FRIENDS: Bunches and bunches. It's very easy to become considered a friend by me - it's friend until proven otherwise. Close friends include a good number, and I would die, or even kill, for most of them.
Z- ZODIAC SIGN: Virgo, the Virgin. Go figure. Sidereal, I'm Leo. Go figure again. (Ask my lover why this is the case.)
Speaking of my lover, I got to be with her again yesterday. As you may, or may not know, she's been in Japan for the last 10 months. If you've been following my LJ well, you'll realise that this is the eighth day during which I have seen her in person. It was a blast.
I'm also going to consider this my first date, as we went out to lunch at a local deli, and walked to the cliff after that. The funny romantic troubles that are read in such stories manifested, including, but not limited to, getting semi-lost on the way back from bluffs (tells you how well I know my neighborhood), and freezing to be really, really cold.
I won't be able to see her again until spring break, luck be what it may, but that's life. I love her, she loves me, and we will be together when we can.
Gods I want to be around her more. She's an awesome person...
(As a side note, there was a 3+ hour break half-way through this, as the fire alarm in my room malfunctioned and drove me out. after a rather long time, I gave up on the people getting to it and fixing it, and unscrewed and unplugged it. I can still hear it, but that's just my ears ringing.)
