A. Only my ears pierced. I get to like vicariously through Brit at work for all my infected piercings an body art needs.
9) Worst Habit?
A. Interrupting people and taking over their projects. Falling asleep on the couch.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?

A. Probably rant about various events/shows that you (Eda) have seen and fangirl over actors with you.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
A. I was forced to withdraw my request for landing (almost-deportation) in Japan once. But I grew from that... Failed two classes in college, but that was ok in the long run too. Really, I think The Judy Months at work were the most miserable of my life.

18) What was your first impression of me?

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
A. Creepy.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
A. I would /love/ to lose about 50 pounds. It would be nice if my breasts were the same size.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
A. I'd like to say partner, but I tend to balk at the idea of actual crime or breaking rules.
22) What color eyes do you have?
A. bluish-grey. They shift a little depending on what colors I'm wearing. My littlest sister has /exactly/ the same color though, so it must come from my dad's side.
23) Ever been arrested?
A. ....not really... unless that whole immigration incident in Japan counts. Which I suppose it does...
24) Bottle or can soda?
A. Mostly bottles nowadays. And I try not to drink soda as much. I use to go through like six cans a day when I was younger though. I prefer my tea in bottles though... if that counts.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
A. Buy two tickets to Japan. Pay off my credit cards. Cut up 3 of my credit cards. LIVE WITHIN MY MEANS.

A. Read fic. Make costumes. Work more.
30) Do you swear a lot?
A. Yeah, a bit. Mostly when I'm annoyed and/or tired. Or when I'm getting fucking backstabbed in Halo. >.>
31) Biggest pet peeve?
A. I really really dislike people who /call/ stores and want every detail of what items they have available. I mean "Do you sell pillows?" is one thing. When it's followed by "Oh, what sizes do you have? How much are they? Are they on sale right now? Do you have one in this size? How much would it be again? What are the differences between the three types that size? When will they be going on sale next? If I buy two, do I get a discount?".... then I really want to take their head off. Honestly, you're going to have to come into the store to /buy/ the item. Why not just look at and compare the options for YOURSELF?
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
A. Obsessive.
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
A. I like it, but I'm really really bad at it in RL. I also tend to be very generous and caring to all my friends whenever I can... so when I try to be more romantic to one person it feels like I'm not being much different.
35) Do you believe in God?
A. I like to think that there are spirits in the world around us and that we are rewarded for doing good and adding kindness to the world. I think labeling any one concept God with the capital G just gets dangerous pretty quickly though.
36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
A. Here you go.
ETA: Just spent two hours at the gym (though 30 minutes of that was reading an article about Hugh Jackman while I stretched) for the first time in three weeks and I feel awesome. Haven't gained back too much of the weight I was losing, and one way or the other my heart felt just fine being in the 160-170 range, where I used to feel /really/ overwhelmed if I spent more than a minute or so over 160. Now I think I will eat my economically-healthy sandwich and go to sleep. Work at 10 an all.
UPDATE OF VERY IMPORTANT-NESS: As a reward for me being so good and not spending money and going to the gym, RT posted THIS. Recreation. Mondays at 9 pm CDT. Sounds promising.
