These are a few of LCA's favorite memes...
I haven't posted in a while so I have no remorse in taking up space on your "Friends" pages with these. Do them. NOW!
1. Tell me something obvious about you.
I fancy myself to be something of a wit, although it doesn't always work properly.
2. Tell me something about you that many don't know.
I used to smoke cigarettes
3. What is your biggest fear?
That life really is as bleak as I often think it is.
4. Do you normally go the safe route or take the short cut?
Sometimes taking short cuts in life is the safe route.
5. Name one thing you want that you can't buy with money.
Someone who really, truly understands me.
6. What is your most treasured possession?
My collection of movies
7. What is the one thing you hate most about yourself that you do often?
I often nervously laugh in a non-committal "gee whiz, I didn't mean it" sort of way after saying something.
8. Tell me something sexually about you that I don't know.
Sadly, my sexual past is an open book consisting almost completely of blank pages.
9. Tell me something sexually about you that everyone knows.
I am a wretched 23 year old virgin
10. What is your favorite lie to tell?
I used to lie that I'd beaten every Mario game up to and including Super Mario World, but I never beat Dr. Mario or Mario World.
11. Name something you've done once that you can't wait to do again.
Traveled to Europe completely on my own.
12. Are you the jealous type?
I'm jealous of many things, yes, but am far more so the bitter type.
13. What is the one person, place or thing you can't say no to?
Lately I can't seem to say no to Teavana
14. What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you?
Probably either the time a friend sent me an advent calendar in the mail, or when that same friend bought me Planters Cheez Balls or Jiffy Pop just because I'd mentioned that I liked them.
15. If you could do something crazy right now, what would it be?
Disappear. For good.
16. When was the last time you cried?
Not sure, but I've probably teared up recently from loneliness.
17. When was the last time you felt so good that nothing else mattered?
Yesterday morning when I went to work just in case we didn't have Labor Day off, which of course we did, and I walked back to the T at 9:00am along the quiet city streets under the clearest blue skies in perfectly temperate weather, then through the Public Gardens past some children gently touching the swans, when the whole world seemed to be noiselessly drifting by as gently and easily as the ducks gliding silently across the surface of the lake.
18. Do you feel comfortable in public with no shirt on?
Not really. I don't think the public would feel all that comfortable either.
19. Name something embarrassing you did while being drunk.
I ran to the bathroom and threw up the one time I was drunk (at age sixteen) while watching an Atlanta Braves game on TBS, perhaps due to feeling stupid for loudly, persistently, and (ultimately) incorrectly predicting that Andres Galarraga was going to hit a home run.
20. If you post this in your journal would you like me to answer it?
Well, obviously the friend who already posted this, Miss LCA, has already answered it...so I'm not sure of the sense of this question.
