10 YEARS AGO:
1. It was 1995.
2. I had just turned 11.
3. I was in the 6th grade.
4. I had a horrible reading teacher, and a really good english teacher. I was in a school play. And I skipped Outer Ed because I was afraid of spending the night away from home (I always got sick).
5. I was about to encounter a horrible depression that led me to a knife on my wrist more times than I'd like to remember.
5 YEARS AGO:
1. My brother had just graduated from high school.
2. I was working at Giant as a cart girl.
3. I was in my last month of my Learner's Permit and about to go test for my license in a few weeks.
4. I had not yet become friends with Tracy and the rest of the crew of friends I would spend the rest of high school with.
5. I owned my "Sexy Biatch" car, a Black 1997 Chevy Malibu which I still love and miss to this day.
1 YEAR AGO:
1. I was living in London.
2. I had just met my friends Dave and Sabina from Nexus.
3. I was taking some of the most interesting and thought-provoking classes of my life.
4. Exactly 1 year ago I was spending the weekend in the Lake District, where all of my favourite Romantic poets seemed to get their endless inspiration.
5. I had already fallen completely and utterly in love with Louis.
YESTERDAY:
1. I worked in the Study Abroad Office, and by "worked" I mean "I did my French homework."
2. I went to a Leadership Society meeting.
3. I went to my IS class and my French class.
4. I hung out with Joe for a little while.
5. I ate leftover Chinese food.
SNACKS I ENJOY:
1. Burstin' BBQ Cheddar flavored Goldfish
2. Little Debbie's snack cakes (currently have Oatmeal Cream Pies, Fudge Rounds, and Swiss Cake Rolls stashed away in my food closet)
3. Chocolate, basically any variety, but especially Cadbury and Mars.
4. Granola Bars. Big Time. But also Kudos Bars.
5. Nesquik Chocolate Milk!!!!
SONGS I KNOW ALL OF THE WORDS TO:
1. Basically all of Cake's songs
2. All of Dido's songs
3. Disco Inferno (don't ask)
4. All of Peter Gabriel's songs
5. And basically any song I listen to on repeat, including various french and other foreign-language songs. Yeah. I like music.
WHAT I WOULD DO WITH 100 MILLION DOLLARS:
1. Buy a plane ticket to be with Louis
2. Buy a house
3. Buy a car
4. Set up a retirement fund/inheritance stash
5. Divy the rest up between not having to work and providing a nice lifestyle for family and friends and letting Louis not have to work and maybe going back to school for me so I can learn all the crap I wanna learn.
5 PLACES I WOULD RUN AWAY TO:
1. Anywhere Louis is
2. Italy
3. England
4. Japan
5. Finland
5 THINGS I WOULD NEVER WEAR:
1. Real fur
2. Ugg boots
3. "Bling-Bling"
4. A Muumuu (god willing)
5. A frown?
FAVORITE TV SHOWS:
1. Law & Order, period. I like the original series the best, minus the new ones with the "fake" Lenny, followed by SVU and CI. But I will watch any of them and love every minute of it.
2. The Simpsons
3. Friends
4. Comedy Central Presents... (anyone)
5. Brainiac (British show)
FAVORITE BOOKS AUTHORS:
1. J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter series)
2. Helen Fielding (Bridget Jones' Diary series)
3. Lilian Jackson Braun (The Cat Who... series)
4. Alice Sebold (Boldly going where no other writers have gone before. Her works will make you cry yet still see the lighter side of life in the end.)
5. Elizabeth Barret Browning (Victorian Poet, absolutely amazing)
(I'm cheating)
6. Jodi Picoult (Wrote The Pact and My Sister's Keeper, I need to read more of her books. These two really made a tremendous impact on my life and The Pact truly haunts me even now.)
7. Dan Brown (Almost forgot about him! Eep!)
BAD HABITS:
1. Inability to shower daily--it's always every other day.
2. Messy rooms--I never put my frickin dirty clothes in a laundry basket.
3. Rationalizing myself into being late/skipping class
4. Selling myself short and not working to my full potential
5. PROCRASTINATION.
5 BIGGEST JOYS:
1. Louis
2. Pink!
3. My friends and family
4. My stuffed animals
5. Nesquik Chocolate Milk!
(cheating again)
6. SHEEP!
7. England
8. DDR!
5 FAVORITE TOYS:
1. My '99 Chevy Malibu
2. My new Compaq computer
3. My iPod
4. My cell phone
5. DDR! (For PS2)
5 FICTIONAL CHARACTERS I WOULD DATE:
1. Mark Darcy from Bridget Jones' Diary
2. Kyo from Fruits Basket
3. Quatre/Wufei/Duo/Trowa/Heero from Gundam Wing (in preferential order)
4. This is surprisingly difficult... because most of the people I just have a generalized preference for (as in, the actors, not specific characters).
5. So let's just have a different cheat on this one, k?
I don't like to tag people, so do this if you please!
In other news, I'm still trying to think of a name for the little unnamed blue hippo.
The votes came in like this:
Wash - 1
Big Daddy - 4
Spink - 1
Whip - 1
Tickle - 2
Knaps - 2
Slam - 1
Slap - 1
This does not include my votes, which were for Whip, Knaps, and Tickle. I also have a huge dislike for Big Daddy. Thus, I'm trying to come up with a "full" name (as in, first, middle, last) to combine all these things:
*Whip
*Tickle
*Knaps
*Big Daddy (whyyyy??!!)
My original idea was Knaps Whipsum but now there's been a suggestion of Whickle. Uhhhh. Help guys, please?!
