Girly Meme
Stolen from betareject , in which I fail once again at following (perceived) standard feminine protocol.
1.What is your name?
Erika.
2.What color is your bra?
Bright purple, actually.
3. Do you straighten your hair every day?:
Nope. Have to blow-dry it, though, or I look like a mad scientist.
4. Do you worry about the size of your boobs?:
Ha, when I hit puberty I hated them so much and wished they'd just go away. Still not much of a fan, but it's not like I've got too much to worry about, if you know what I mean.
5. Are you the typical girl who's addicted to gossip?:
Nope. I like hearing about interesting things that happen amongst my friends but I find flat-out gossip kind of distasteful.
6. What's your favorite girly magazine?
Hahaha, 17. My sister and I get them specifically to mock the bizarre outfits and terrible relationship advice they dole out.
7. Does size really matter when it comes to guys?
Really? You’re gonna ask me that?
8. Would you kill for chocolate?
No. Tea or black licorice? Maybe.
10. Jeans or skirts?:
Jeans for sure. You can’t MOVE in most skirts.
11. Do you wear clothes/shoes/jewelry that's uncomfortable?
No.
12. Did you ever spend all day/night getting pretty for your guy?:
Not really, no.
13. Did you ever cry during a romantic movie?:
Yes. “The Notebook”, I’m looking at you.
14. Would you leave the house without makeup on?:
Every day.
15. What's the biggest turn on about guys?:
Intelligence and a sense of humor. Oh, you mean physically? Er, pretty eyes, interesting features. A nice voice. A sharp sense of personal style helps too.
16. What about the biggest turn off?:
Toolish behavior.
17. Do you consider making out "unladylike"?:
Not sure if unladylike is exactly the correct phrase, but I honestly am not a fan. Especially of other people’s PDA. Seriously guys, I do not need to see tongue in public.
18. On a scale of 1-10, how fun is shopping?:
Depends on the day. Usually a 5, but can go up to 11 when I’m with snarky friends and we run around trying on ridiculous things and mocking everything we see in good humor. Or when art supplies or books are involved.
19. Are you a girly-girl, tomboy, or in the middle?
Much closer to the tomboy end of the spectrum.
20. Do you think lipgloss is the best?:
Actually, yes. I don’t know what I’d do without Burt’s Bees. My lips would bleed nonstop. /grossness
21. Do you HAVE to have a boyfriend at all times?:
Haha, noooooooo. I’ve had precisely one boyfriend and am totally fine with that. Being single works for me.
22. Do you freak out if you miss your favorite show?
Yes. Though with the internet, that’s much less of a problem.
23. Do you obsess over your looks?:
Sort of. I get really weird about my hair sometimes and I like dressing well, but for the most part I’m pretty happy with how I present myself.
24. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?:
Eh, 10 minutes, on average? This does not include breakfast or email-checking, which would add another hour.
25. Do you wear sweatpants/pajama pants to school because it's comfortable?:
Never. I have a personal vendetta against that after my time in Ohio, where I literally only knew three or four girls who DIDN’T look like they just rolled out of bed (but still had time to cake on multiple layers of foundation.) Also, that is what cargo pants are for - comfy, but with awesome pockets.
26. Accessories make the outfit; true or false:
True. I wear a fair bit of jewelry and my scarf collection is quickly approaching critical mass.
27. Are you a sucker for skater guys?:
No. I do have a certain fondness for them because my bro Sheed is one, though.
28. What kind of guys do you like?
Smart, artsy ones with a healthy dose of good-natured weirdness.
29. Is pink truly the best color in the entire universe?:
Uh, no. How cliché can we get here, seriously?
30. Lip gloss a must?:
We’ve been through this.
31. What's your status?
Single and loving it.
33. Bikini, one-piece, tankini or... three-piece?
Bikini. My new favorite thing is wearing board shorts with a bikini top, actually. Finally I don't have to worry about my bottoms falling off while pushing off the wall or due to a rogue wave!
34. Do you take the chance on Halloween to dress like a whore?
Hahaha, no. Quite the opposite, really. *coughTonyStarkandanundeadmancough*
35. Ever dressed like a whore to impress a guy?:
Ew. No.
36. Do you often wish there was something you could change ?
Well, yeah, who doesn’t?
37. Has a guy ever given you something on Valentines?
Yes! The boyfriend got me the movie Mirrormask, a little notebook, and made me a bracelet that he soldered himself. It was terribly sweet.
38. Gold or silver?:
Silver. Especially with turquoise. Though mixed metals are awesome too.
40. Tight pants on guys; hot or gay?:
Everything in moderation -- well-fitted pants are awesome, but skin-tight crotch-gripping ones just make me cringe on his behalf.
41. Do you dress up too much for holidays?:
Define too much. I dress up, at any rate.
42. Do you like wearing dresses?:
Sometimes it’s fun, but I don’t do it often.
43. Do you write a lot of mushy love poems?:
If by love you mean platonic or generalized affection directed at various things in the universe, yes. If you mean romantic, no.
44. Do you consider yourself to be fashionable?:
Maybe? I think about how I dress, and I get compliments on outfits sometimes, so that might qualify?
45. On a scale of 1-10, how much do guys confuse you?:
2. My guy friends are like my brothers, and living around them has made it clear that dudes are muuuuuch easier to understand than girls sometimes.
46. How many guys have you kissed this year?
Aside from male relatives, none.
47. Do you worry/fuss about your weight?
No. Yes about muscle tone, though. I am like a limp noodle, seriously. *grumbles*
48. Do you eat junk food?
Sometimes.
49. Do you work out?
Not as much as I should.
50. What makeup product could you NOT live without?
Like I said, Burt’s Bees. Also perfume. I do love me some nice perfume. Gap’s “Natural” is my favorite.
