130 Questions
You know, I wasn't going to do this one, but I have some time to kill right now so why not. Sigh.
Is the person you last texted single?
Uhh, I would have an answer for this if it didn't cost me like 25 cents to send and receive every individual text message.
Do you get jealous easily?
It depends on what I would have to be jealous of. I guess I get jealous of everyone else having fun without me while I'm halfway across the world... But then again, I'm having a good time here, too, so, eh. Miss you guys, though.
What are you currently waiting for?
Getting home so I can trap a new kestrel! FUCK YEAH KESTRELS.
Do you think more about the past, present, or future?
Definitely the future.
Is there anybody you wish you could be spending time with right now?
My PDX crew. :( Angela, Dar, James... I will see you guys again soon!
Is anything wrong with your eyes?
Not if I've got my glasses on! Haha.
Who were the last people you saw besides from family?
Amber, one of the girls currently sharing this house with us from the EBL project. They do plant stuff. I don't really know all of the details.
Do you have nice eyes?
I think so! They're kind of blue-gray-green and that works for me.
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?
Depends on what's wrong. But probably either my mom or Angela or Mandy.
Who's thinking about you right now?
EVERYONE BECAUSE I AM THAT AWESOME lawl I don't know.
Is this year the best year of your life?
Uhhh, it's pretty good, but I don't think it's the best. Last year was pretty excellent too.
How do you feel about Diet Dr Pepper?
GROSS. I like Dr. Pepper, but diet soda is the worst. Ever.
Think back to the last person you kissed, how many times have you cried in front of them?
Probably just once, when he broke up with me. Eh. Big shock there.
Do you go to the tanning bed on a regular basis?
No. Never. Ever.
Does your bedroom need cleaning?
Actually, right now it's pretty good, but that's because I really only have the essentials here so there isn't much to scatter around. And stuff that's scattered is scattered for a reason. And because I have no laundry basket.
Flowers or chocolate?
Chocolate all the way. Oh man. No contest. Chocolate is my drug of choice.
Sushi of choice?
Mmm... Unagi. So good. Or anything with salmon, too. Or, like, a spicy tuna tempura roll. That would be awesome.
Would you rather take a relationship really slow or really fast?
I am a slow person. :(
Do you ever hang out with someone of the opposite sex?
On occasion, but I tend to have far more girl friends than guy friends.
Are you comfortable with your height?
Yep! Nothing wrong with it.
Do you act differently around the person you like?
I think it would be strange if I didn't.
Do you think anyone has feelings for you?
Nope. And that is a-ok with me.
Is there one person in your life that can always make you smile?
Quite a few. No need to name them all, you know who you are.
Do you like thunderstorms?
Yes! They are awesome.
Do you think teenagers can be in love?

Are there things that can't be joked about with you?
Probably, but nothing I can think of right now.
What do you always take with you?
Myself! And at least chapstick. Often a pocket knife and occasionally my wallet. But it depends on what I'm up to.
When is your birthday?
September 17th! DO YOU GUYS HAVE GIFTS READY YET? BETTER GET ON THAT SHIT.
Where is the weirdest place you have slept?
I don't think I've slept too many strange places. In a car out in the coast range last summer is probably the strangest and it isn't really that strange. We wanted to camp out to see if we could hear any marbled murrelets.
Anything on your walls?
At home, yes. A drawing I did in high school that my parents liked and framed, and my kestrel-sized shelf perch. There would be more but my parents don't like me putting holes in the walls. Sigh. If I was ever in one place long enough to have an apartment, and if I had the money, I would so do that.
What do you bite more, your tongue, lip, or cheek?
I think my cheek, but I bite my tongue sometimes too. Makes me so mad when I do that because it swells up and you just end up biting it more. Ow.

Eh, don't remember.
If so, do you like it?
Not really.
Is there something that you want to tell someone but can’t?
Not that I can think of.

NO AND I HATE IT WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DO, SERIOUSLY, UGH.
Do you feel comfortable getting up and giving speeches?
Usually, yeah, I'm pretty okay with it.
This time last year, can you remember who you liked?
Yep! Nobody!
Would you ever want to swim with the sharks?
I LOVE SHARKS. I guess I've already done this, anyway, what with chasing around a whitetip on the Great Barrier Reef. He was faster than me.
Does anyone know your passwords besides you?
Some of my less important passwords, and my parents know my bank password and stuff since I am often without internet.
Have you ever kissed someone under fireworks?
Nope.
What is the last non-alcoholic beverage you had?
Some black tea. No sugar, no milk. I do like it with milk but I also like to switch it up every now and then.

Do you have a box where you keep all your important things?

I doubt it.

Are any of your friends taller than you?
Yeah. Dar is, at least.
Name the bands you have band tees for?
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, and The Decemberists. Used to have several more, but they got worn out. As shirts will do.

Ever really cried your heart out?

Do you make good grades?
Generally, yes. In everything except for math and organic chemistry, apparently.

Have you ever been on a motorcycle?
Nope. Sounds kind of terrifying. I've only gotten mostly over my fear of cars in the past couple years, don't make me go on a motorcycle yet. :(
Does it bother you when someone says they will call you and they don’t?
Well yeah, of course. But it doesn't happen often.
What is the main ringtone on your cell?
I don't even remember, it's been months since I heard it. Something normal-sounding, though.

Not fluently, but I could probably get by in Spanish if I really had to. I can read it better than I can speak it, though.

Could you name all 50 states and point to them on a map?

Are you someone’s best friend?
I hope so :o

At home, last fall. With the swine flu. Good times.

I don't really know. Of the main three, Spider-Man. But I'm not really into super heroes much.
Can you say the alphabet backwards?
Not without putting some thought into it.
Pen or pencil?
Pencil, for sure. Pens are fun but not as versatile. I mean, you don't really have a range of pens from HB to 8B like you do with pencils. Mmm, 8B. It's like dark chocolate for graphite nerds.
Ever had an 11:11 wish come true?
I didn't know you were supposed to wish at 11:11. It's kind of a cool time. I like 13:37 better when it comes up, though.
Do you get bad headaches?
Not migraine-quality, but I do seem to get moderate headaches that refuse to go away more often than I would like.

Isn't cheating a form of lying, sort of? I don't know. Both suck except for when it's me and I have a good reason to do it. ;)

Give me a random lyric from the song you’re listening to.
Actually I can't find lyrics anywhere for this song and can't make out quite enough of them to write down a line, but the song is "Gnomes" by Sea of Bees and it is beautiful.
Do you think two people can last forever?
I don't think one person can last forever! Immortality is not attainable, so to think two people might have figured it out is just silly. ;)
Do you consider yourself lucky?
I feel pretty average when it comes to good fortune. Most of the good things that have happened to me have been a direct result of a choice I made, anyway.
Is there someone that cares about you more than themselves?
Boy, I have no idea. Maybe my parents, but I don't really know.
Who was the ugliest person you saw today?
That is a mean question and I will not answer it. :(
Freedom or safety?
Freedom, for sure. You hear that, TSA?
Has a song ever made you cry?
Yeah, there are some pretty sad songs out there.
A book ever made you cry?
Huh, not that I can think of. I tend not to get very emotional about books for some reason. I love them and read a lot of them, but rarely react like that, even when they're sad.
Is the world crumbling to pieces?
Hey, entropy is a very real issue. >:(
Is your handwriting large, tiny, or pretty normal?
Normal, though in elementary school a friend and I would often try to write as small as we possibly could. With a mechanical pencil, you can actually write legibly within a little blue line on ruled notebook paper, fancy that.
Will you be in a relationship next month?
Yes, an awesome hunting relationship with a new kestrel. >:)

"Hey," or "'Sup," or sometimes "Hellooooo~"

Uhh, I would have an answer for this if it didn't cost me like 25 cents to send and receive every individual text message.
