on a more lighthearted note, a meme
Simply because I haven't done one of these in quite some time. :) Picked up from over at minor_blue's.
L A Y E R O N E
-- Name: Aspen will do nicely, thanks.
-- Nicknames: A few, actually, but the one that sticks in my mind right now is "Snow White." Appearance-based, mostly, at the time it was given.
-- Birthday: April 11th.
-- Birthplace: California.
-- Current Location: Denver, Colorado.
-- Eye Color: Brown.
-- Hair Color: Dark brown.
-- Texture: Well, it's hair... okay, thick and soft?
-- Height: 5' 8".
-- Righty Or Lefty: Right-handed verging on ambidextrous for some things.
L A Y E R T W O
-- Your Heritage: American. Irish and German descent, roughly 75/25, with hints of Cherokee and probably a mix of other things as well.
-- Brothers Or Sisters: One sister, one brother-in-law.
-- The Shoes You Wore Today: Black leather boots, calf-height.
-- Job: Currently I'm a computer tech.
-- Your Weakness: Books.
-- Your Fears: I have an irrational amount of fear of both leeches and ticks.
-- Three Things You Hope For: Oh, how trite this is going to sound, but still... a better world, the chance to do something meaningful with my life, and both the freedom and finances to travel the world even more than I already have.
-- Your Perfect Pizza: Crisp crust, hot, lots of cheese.
-- Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: To absolutely excel in the class I'm taking.
L A Y E R T H R E E
-- Your Most Overused Phrase On IM: *offers tea*
-- Thoughts First Waking Up: ... (actual thought doesn't happen until much later!)
-- Your Best Physical Feature: Not sure. I like my current hairstyle a lot, though.
-- Your Bedtime: Oh, this depends rather a lot on what I'm doing on any given evening. Usually somewhere between midnight and 3 am.
-- Your Most Missed Memory: Most missed? I'm not certain what this is asking. If it's missed/lost, then how would I know it was gone? ;)
L A Y E R F O U R
-- Pepsi Or Coke: Coke.
-- McDonald's Or Burger King: McDonald's.
-- Single Or Group Dates: Single date preferred.
-- Books or Movies: Books.
-- Lipton Iced Tea Or Nestea: Are you kidding me? Real tea, please, properly brewed. Although I have been known to use Lipton to make sun tea before, so I'll select that from these choices.
-- Chocolate Or Vanilla: Vanilla, I suppose. Chocolate in overabundance is cloying, I find.
-- Cappuccino Or Coffee: Coffee.
L A Y E R F I V E: Do You...
-- Smoke: No.
-- Cuss: Yes, although I do try not to, really.
-- Sing: Absolutely. Very much so.
-- Take A Shower Everyday: I certainly try!
-- Do You Think You've Been In Love: I know that I have.
-- Want To Go To College: I have a degree, and I want another one.
-- Like High School: It was all right. I liked it well enough; it was fun, actually, in a lot of ways.
-- Want To Get Married: I'd like to someday, if I find the right person.
-- Believe In Yourself: Usually. Everyone is vulnerable to instances of self-doubt, I think, but I do try to maintain a decent level of self-confidence.
-- Get Motion Sickness: No, thankfully.
-- Think You're Attractive: Yes.
-- Think You're A Health Freak: No.
-- Is Your Room A Mess: Yes, right now it is. *wince* I should do something about that very soon.
-- Get Along With Your Parents: Fairly well, better now that I live across the country from them and am older.
-- Like Thunderstorms: Yes, very much so. I am very fond of storms.
-- Play An Instrument: Yes. Flute and piano, and I have some vocal training.
L A Y E R S I X: In The Past Month...
-- Drank Alcohol: Yes. (In the past 24 hours? Also yes. *grin*)
-- Smoked: No.
-- Done A Drug: Does Advil count?
-- Gone On A Date: No.
-- Gone To The Mall: Yes.
-- Eaten An Entire Box Of Oreos: No. I haven't even had a single Oreo in the last month, actually.
-- Eaten Sushi: I'm not sure when I last did, but it's likely. Maybe?
-- Been On Stage: Not really. I've been singing with the choir, but that's not a stage performance sort of thing, precisely, not all the time.
-- Broken Up With Someone: No.
-- Gone Skinny Dipping: Also no.
-- Stolen Anything: Still no.
L A Y E R S E V E N: Ever...
-- Been Trashed Or Extremely Intoxicated: Oh, yes.
-- Been Called A Tease: I don't think so.
-- Gotten Beaten Up: No.
-- Shoplifted: No; not worth it.
L A Y E R E I G H T
-- How Do You Want To Die: I'd prefer not to at present. Ask me again later.
-- What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up: Working on this one. ;)
-- What Country Would You Most Like To Visit: Scotland or Australia, at present.
L A Y E R N I N E: In a girl/guy...
-- Best Eye Color: Green. Or hazel. Or gray/blue. Or dark. It's more about the intensity of someone's gaze than the color itself, I find.
-- Best Hair Color: I've dated dark-haired, blond, red-headed, and bald people, so I don't think it really matters to me.
-- Short Or Long Hair: Short somewhat preferred.
-- Height: My height or taller generally preferred.
-- Best Weight: Whatever is healthy/right for that person.
-- Best Article of Clothing: A good pair of jeans.
L A Y E R T E N
-- Number Of Drugs Taken: Who counts? The number of illicit/illegal drugs, though, equals zero.
-- Number Of People I Could Trust With My Life: I hope I don't ever have to discover the actual answer to this question.
-- Number Of CDs That I Own: Many. Many fewer CDs than books, though.
-- Number Of Piercings: One in each ear.
-- Number Of Tattoos: Zero. I can't think of an image that's strong or meaningful enough for me to want to have it permanently a part of my body. Forever is a long, long time.
-- Number Of Things In My Past That I Regret: There are a couple, here and there, but I try not to spend much time on regret... it's a waste of time, and there's much more in life to look forward to!
Okay, now I remember why I don't do those often. Wow, that took a long time! :)
