Yoinked from dragons_wyrd.

(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

✓ I miss somebody right now.  (Lots of people for lots of different reasons.)
✓ I don't watch much TV these days.  (But I do watch movies and play video games.)
✓ I own lots of books.  (Some fun, some necessary.)

✓ I wear glasses or contact lenses.  (Since about 7th grade, thanks to my psycho GT teacher with her miniscule cursive handwriting and me sitting in the back of the room...)
✓ I love to play video games.  (Uh, yeah. And more often recently than usual.)
✓ I've tried marijuana.  (Technically what happened was Erik! tried to get me to eat it, but we were also drinking Alize and coke and I was falling asleep a lot. I woke up and felt like I had no bones and couldn't move. It was really weird.)

× I've watched porn movies.  (Technically there was that Star Trek porn they played in the basement over at the Manor, but I wasn't watching it intentionally so it doesn't count.)
× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship.  (I wouldn't go so far as to say 'psycho-ex,' but I'll admit to having been pretty broken most of the time.)
✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy.  (Usually.)

✓ I curse sometimes.  (This is actually somewhat false. I curse a lot. Like a sailor sometimes.)
✓ I have changed a lot mentally over the last year.  (Yes and no here. I know I've changed both mentally and emotionally and that's not been confined to just the past year. I also can't gauge 'a lot' because it's not a permanent change.)
× I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.  (Nope. Though maybe I should...)

* * * * *

✓ I have broken someone's bones.  (If by 'someone's' you mean 'mine' then yes, that would be correct. I fractured my ankle when I was in 8th grade.)
× I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal.  (I wouldn't necessarily say 'ashamed' is really the best word to describe that. Everybody has secrets they keep, I'm not so different in this respect.)
× I hate the rain.  (False. I LOVE the rain. Though sometimes it's a bit of a hindrance. Like when it comes down in sheets and you're driving down the interestate through the city. Kind of annoying then.)

✓ I'm paranoid at times.  (Don't really know what to say about this. I get really paranoid about certain things for strange reasons.)
✓ I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free.  (I think it's kind of disgusting, yes. But I can't say there aren't things I wouldn't want to change about myself, especially under those conditions.)
× I need/want money right now.  (Right now? No. I will for the comming semester and I'm still waiting to hear from Financial Aid.)

✓ I love sushi.  (Again, yes and no. While quite tasty and wonderful, nori really stimulates my gag reflex in a very unpleasant way. Understandably I don't tend to enjoy this treat often.)
✓ I talk really, really fast.  (Not always, but sometimes. And then people don't always understand me. But maybe they don't anyway. Meh.)
× I have fresh breath in the morning.  (Heck no. I have dragon breath much like any other person.)

✓ I have long hair.  (I do now. I've thought about cutting it short again because I liked it that way. But I also like it long and I don't want to have to go to the trouble of growing it out again.)
× I have lost money in Las Vegas.  (Never been to Vegas. Never been further west of Lawton, OK. 'Struth.)
✓ I have at least one sibling.  (One brother. He's bipolar. Interesting childhood to say the least.)

× I was born in a country outside of the U.S.  (Nope. Was born in the pink hospital (St. Francis) in Tulsa, OK.)
× I have worn fake hair/fingernails/eyelashes in the past.  (Nope. 'sall real. I promise.)
× I couldn't survive without Caller I.D.  (While Caller ID is nice and all, we don't pay to have it on our phone so eh. Could be nice though.)

✓ I like the way that I look.  (Yes and no. There are some things I like. I don't tend to focus on my looks. Can't say I wouldn't change anything if I could though.)
× I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months.  (Can't say I've lied at all in the past 6 months, so if I did I can't say it was at all important.)
✓ I am usually pessimistic.  (More or less. I like to change it up sometimes.)

× I have a lot of mood swings.  (Can't say a lot. But I do experience very extreme emotions at times.)
✓ I think prostitution should be legalized.  (If it were legalized it could be better regulated and safer, I'm sure. Though what a person does with their own body is their own business.)
× I slept with a roommate.  (If by 'slept' you mean were asleep at the same time in possibly the same room, then yes, this would be true. But if by 'slept' you mean 'had sex' then no, can't say that I have.)

× I have a hidden talent.  (I don't see myself as possessing talent, certainly not hidden ones.)
× I'm always hyper no matter how much sugar I have.  (I'm hyper a lot. Not necessarily because of suger or anything else. Can't say that I'm 'always' hyper though.)
✓ I have a lot of friends.  (I do. And they're wonderful. I see some and am closer to some more than others.)

× I have pecked someone of the same sex.  (I don't know what 'pecked' means. I'm gonna guess no on this one.)
× I enjoy talking on the phone.   (Not really. Occassionally I do. I generally prefer talking in person or chatting through IM.)
× I practically live in sweatpants or PJ pants.  (I don't own sweatpants. I do live in comfortable clothes, if that's what you mean.)

× I love to shop and/or window shop.  (For certain things. Like office supplies and electronics. Not for clothes.)
× I'm obsessed with my Xanga or Livejournal.  (I wouldn't go so far as to say obsessed.)
× I'm completely embarrassed to be seen with my mother.  (I've come to terms with the fact that my mother is no more embarrassing than I am. 'struth.)

✓ I have a mobile phone.  (Though I don't generally carry it.)
× I have passed out drunk in the past 6 months.  (I've never been passed out drunk in my life.)
× I've rejected someone before.  (Yes and no. I never outright rejected him. But there was a point where it felt like I had. But that was a long time ago.)

✓ I currently like/love someone.  (Absolutely true. Though apparently I'll have to be the one to make a move.)
✓ I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life.  (Absolutely true. I've been rethinking my passion. I feel I still need to give it some more thought and come to terms with my future.)
× I want to have children in the future.  (Not especially, no. I'm hoping this will change at another point in my life. I want to want to, but I don't really want to. It's complicated, if you catch my drift.)

× I have changed a diaper before.  (Nope. Can't say that I have.)
× I've called the cops on a friend before.  (Nope. Can't say that I have.)
× I'm not allergic to anything.  (This is oddly not true. I'm allergic to certain soaps and new unwashed sheets.)

✓ I have a lot to learn.  (This has always and will continue to always be true.)
× I am shy around the opposite sex.  (Yes and no. I'm shy and act kind of weird around the guy I like. And I'm generally shy around people I don't know.)
✓ I'm online 24/7, even as an away message.  (Probably true. Though people don't seem to understand that the best way to get ahold of me is generally through the internet.)

✓ I have at least 5 away messages saved.  (Are you kidding. I have hundreds. This seems to be a problem sometime. But not enough to get me to change it.)
✓ I have tried alcohol or drugs before.  (I'm over 21 so yes, I have tried alcohol. There's some in the fridge right now. Not into the whole drug thing, though.)
× I have made a move on a friend's significant other or crush in the past.  (Nope. The only moves I have made have been: I asked someone out (he dumped me two weeks later), I made a move on someone else (and he came out of the closet a couple months later). I guess I'm hoping to move on someone, though really more that he would make the move.)

× I own the "South Park" movie.  (Nope. I've seen it more than once, but it's not really something I would buy.)
× I have avoided assignments at work/school to be on Xanga or Livejournal.  (Can't say so. I take breaks to go to Livejournal.)
× I enjoy some country music.  (Not. I don't like country music, though there are about two songs that I will listen to.)
