*baa*
Stole this from zolac_no_miko . *shrug* I've never actually felt like filling one of these out before? But this one seemed interesting for some reason.
Is the person you last texted single?
Heh. Nope, they were engaged, married, and in a long-term relationship respectively. (it was a three-people-at-once text)
Do you get jealous easily?
Not really. It takes a fair bit to get me worked up.
What are you currently waiting for?
A TRAIN. Um.
Do you think more about the past, present, or future?
Probably the future.
Is there anybody you wish you could be spending time with right now?
All my Whitman besties. My family.
Is anything wrong with your eyes?
AHAHAHAHA... if I don't have my contacts in, my focal point is roughly three inches in front of my face. I am woefully, woefully nearsighted (now with bonus astigmatism!). Hopefully I will be fixing this with lasers sometime in the future.
Who were the last people you saw besides from family?
My AmeriCorps teammates are sitting across the room from me...
Do you have nice eyes?
I like them. They're green.
Have you ever received a love letter more than a page long?
Nope!
If something was wrong, who is the first girl you would go to?
My sister or my mom, probably. Or Becca/Angela/Dar/Lauren, if it were more of a 'SOMETHING IS WRONG ON THE INTERNETS' sort of problem.
Who's thinking about you right now?
This question is kind of dumb. What am I supposed to do, e-mail Professor Xavier?
Is this year the best year of your life?
It's been pretty good. I don't know if I'd call it the best, though.
How do you feel about Diet Dr Pepper?
Bleah. I don't really drink soda in general, but when I do it would be Mt. Dew or Coke.
Think back to the last person you kissed, how many times have you cried in front of them?
Hm. Zero. The thing we had going on was pretty casual.
Do you go to the tanning bed on a regular basis?
Uh, no.
Does your bedroom need cleaning?
Probably. Comes from not having any furniture.
Flowers or chocolate?
Oooh, this is actually kind of tough. I really like flowers, and I actually prefer chocolate-baked-goods-type-things to straight up chocolate. (Fondant au chocolat, oh my god. Or drinking chocolate, mmm.)
Sushi of choice?
Hamachi! Mmmmm. Although I love eel, too.
Would you rather take a relationship really slow or really fast?
Probably slow. I've had one relationship that went really fast and it was kind of weird.
Do you ever hang out with someone of the opposite sex?
Every day, given that there are guys on my team.
Are you comfortable with your height?
Yep. I like being 5'4", it feels just about right.
Do you act differently around the person you like?
I'm probably snarkier, because I'd be trying to make them laugh. But I get kind of shy at the same time, so.
Do you think anyone has feelings for you?
Possibly.
Is there one person in your life that can always make you smile?
There are way more than one. Some of them can even make me cackle hysterically.
Do you like thunderstorms?
YES. They always make me feel awake in a unique way. Probably because my adrenal glands are yammering that we're about to get struck by lightning or have a tree fall on top of us, but whatever.
Do you think teenagers can be in love?
Yeah. I think that teenagers don't always know the best way to deal with it, but hey, you have to start learning somewhere, right?
How fast does your mood change?
I'm generally very even-tempered. My first emotional reaction is almost always to be amused.
Are there things that can't be joked about with you?
Jokes that are made in poor taste make me uncomfortable, and if certain lines are crossed I'll get pretty serious pretty fast. Making light of abuse or belittling sexual orientation will get you a push-back from me.
What do you always take with you?
Sunglasses. Water. My phone and driver's license, spare cash, a pen and a scrap of paper.
When is your birthday?
It was yesterday! :D
Where is the weirdest place you have slept?
On a midnight train to Xinjiang. No, really.
Anything on your walls?
At the current place I'm living in? Nothing but my towels, hanging up on dollar-store hooks. ;__; Back at my place in Oregon I've got all sorts of cool stuff up. Posters, masks, a pair of phoenix wings my sister and I made for a costume once... That's got to be one of the most depressing parts about AmeriCorps NCCC, is that you move around too much to really make any place your own.
What do you bite more, your tongue, lip, or cheek?
My cheek. Luckily it doesn't happen all that often.
Has a boy/girl called you babe/baby before?
Chris liked to call me babe. ^^
If so, do you like it?
I don't know, I guess I found it a little embarrassing at the time, but it was also kind of nice that she did it.
Is there something that you want to tell someone but can’t?
Well, yeah. Everybody's got stuff they keep back.
Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months or more?
Romantically? I think so, although I haven't had cause to know for sure yet.
Do you crack your knuckles?
Nope. I crack my toes, though, somewhat randomly.
Do you feel comfortable getting up and giving speeches?
It wouldn't be my first inclination, but I could do it.
This time last year, can you remember who you liked?
Ummm... I think I had a few amorphous crushes, but nothing that stands out in particular.
Would you ever want to swim with the sharks?
I'd rather swim with dolphins, but as long as there was either a shark cage in place or they were something nifty like whale sharks, why not.
Does anyone know your passwords besides you?
My dad knows my TDAmeritrade password. Other than that I don't think so.
Have you ever kissed someone under fireworks?
Nope.
What is the last non-alcoholic beverage you had?
My morning tea, earlier today.
I bet you miss somebody right now…
...yes?
Do you get high a lot?
Not so much, no.
Do you have a box where you keep all your important things?
Sort of? I have assorted boxes where I put things that I want to keep from traveling, school, etc. But I have lots of other important things that don't really fit into boxes.
Can you count past 100?
Quite readily. Past 1000, even.
Would you ever date anyone your parents disapproved?
It might be a little awkward, but yeah. My parents are pretty chill, though, so it's hard to imagine who I could bring home that they wouldn't like.
Who introduced you to your boyfriend or girlfriend (or ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend)?
Uh, Metallica introduced me to my last boyfriend, and as for my last girlfriend, I don't remember who introduced me to Chris. I can probably blame Angela.
If you were abandoned in the wilderness, would you survive?
Eh, probably. I'd be pretty grumpy by the time I made it out, though.
Are you afraid of shots?
Nah. It's not like they hurt for very long.
Is there someone you can tell anything to?
My sister and I can pretty much talk about anything. I'm fortunate to have many friends that I could talk frankly with, too.
At this moment in time if you HAD to have someone’s name tattooed on you whose would it be?
'Mom'. XD I don't frickin' know.
Most memorable thing that’s happened to you over the summer?
Oh man, how do I even pick. Um, probably seeing the 4th of July fireworks over the Washington Mall from the steps of the Capitol.
Has anyone called you perfect before?
Not that I recall.
Do your best friends’ parents tend to like you?
Yes, I seem to be a likable-by-parents person.
What’s your all-time favorite ROMANCE movie?
Love Actually. I could roll around in that movie forever.
TV channels/shows you watch?
TV's the thing with the box that glows, right? With the annoying noises where they try to sell you stuff? I haven't had all that much time to watch things so I'm ludicrously behind, but I've been watching Doctor Who, Generation Kill (*shakes fist at novembersmith *), Sherlock (*shakes fist at platoapproved *), and I'm currently trying to addict my entire team to Firefly. XD Oh, and I've been working my way through back issues of The West Wing, Bones, and The Mentalist, too.
Are any of your friends taller than you?
Some of them are. Some of them are shorter than me.
Name the bands you have band tees for?
The Decemberists! Um. I think that might be it. I need to buy more.
Do you prefer the ocean or pool?
The ocean, by far. Although I don't actually like to swim.
Ever really cried your heart out?
Oh yes.
Are you the same person as you were at the beginning of 2010?
...I'd actually say I'm not. This has been a big growth year for me, and I think the experiences I've garnered in AmeriCorps have changed me a fair bit. For the better, I hope.
Do you make good grades?
Yep! I'm actually pretty proud of my track record there, in both high school and college.
Is there a difference between love and IN love?
I think so. It's kind of a squirrelly one to pin down with words, though.
Have you ever been on a motorcycle?
No, but it's something I want to try.
Does it bother you when someone says they will call you and they don’t?
Hmm. A little bit, I guess.
What is the main ringtone on your cell?
It's sort of this D-major arpeggio thing.
Do you speak any other language other than English?
I speak Japanese pretty well. My Spanish is in pretty poor shape, although I'd like to work on improving it.
Did 2009 treat you good?
Yeah! Graduated from college, that was pretty sweet. I liked my summer job from that year a lot, too.
Do you think you were raised well?
Yeah, I think my parents did the best they could.
Could you name all 50 states and point to them on a map?
Probably, barring brainfreezes.
Are you someone’s best friend?
Hm, probably not? I wouldn't mind being somebody's, though. ^^
Where was the last place you were when you got sick?
Huh, I think it was in New Orleans, back in March. Although I nearly got sick later when we were in New York, too. Managed to fight it off with copious amounts of green tea.
Have you ever smuggled something into America?
Nothing huge.
What’s your favorite super-hero?
Tough question! If pressed, I'd probably pick Tony Stark. He's such a badass woobie.
Can you say the alphabet backwards?
I'd take a while to do it, but yes.
Pen or pencil?
I used to use mechanical pencils exclusively, but since AmeriCorps I've turned into a pen-user. I like these. They don't stab me in the leg when I keep them in my BDU pocket.
Ever had an 11:11 wish come true?
I don't really make 11:11 wishes. I almost always notice when it rolls around, though.
Do you get bad headaches?
Fortunately, no.
What’s worse: liars or cheaters?
Cheaters. White lies grease the wheels of the universe.
Have you ever broken someone’s heart?
Possibly, but hopefully not irreparably. ...that was a few too many adverbs for one sentence.
Does it matter if your boyfriend/girlfriend smokes?
I couldn't date a smoker. The smell is a big turn-off for me.
What’s usually colder, your hands or your feet?
They're both usually really cold. >>; There's a reason why I drink so much tea.
What’s your favorite type of flower?
Hard to choose! I like daffodils a lot. Anything that smells nice, really.
Give me a random lyric from the song you’re listening to.
One smile, one smile
Carries on
Do you think two people can last forever?
Yep. I don't think it happens all that often, though.
Do you consider yourself lucky?
I never win at bingo or raffles, if that's what you're asking. But I think I've had a lucky life so far.
Is there someone that cares about you more than themselves?
My parents, maybe.
Who was the ugliest person you saw today?
What kind of question is this, seriously.
Freedom or safety?
Freedom. Safety is overrated. (Yes, Angela, I did just steal your answer.)
Has a song ever made you cry?
Yes. I'm not telling you which ones, though.
A book ever made you cry?
No, although a few have made me pretty upset.
Is the world crumbling to pieces?
Nah. It might not always be suitable for humans, but I think the earth will keep chugging along okay.
Is your handwriting large, tiny, or pretty normal?
It's on the small side. And the unreadable side, especially when I write fast.
Will you be in a relationship next month?
I seriously doubt it. But you never know.
Who was the last person to piss you off, and why?
The person who sent me a rejection letter for the job I really wanted, yesterday. >:((( I was a little annoyed, more at the situation than at them, I guess.
Your phone rings, what do you say?
Usually just 'Hello' or 'Hey'.
Has anyone ever said they wanted to marry you?
Chris proposed to me once. XD I give pretty good head-and-back massages, apparently.
Have you ever been a gymnast or a cheerleader?
Nope! I've done ballroom dance since I was twelve, though. And I like modern dance a lot, too.
Is your birthday on a holiday?
No, but last year it was on 09/09/09, which I thought was pretty neat. :D
Do you always answer your phone?
Not always. If it's not a number I recognize I'll usually let it go to voice mail.
Has someone of the opposite sex ever told you they loved you?
Outside of family, no.
Are you ticklish?
Yes. I try to keep that a secret though.
Is there someone you wish you were still close with?
Yeah, there are some people from back in high school that I'm sad about losing touch with.
Yay memes! And now have a random video that my teammate Kristen showed me:
Is the person you last texted single?
