"Once I ran to you, now I run from you..."
Today accomplished nothing but errands (got new makeup, whoo) and watching Pulp Fiction. At this rate, I'll be a movie expert. I did enjoy it, though. Oh, and a meme...look how productive I am.
1. One of your scars, how did you get it?
I have one still on my right calf from my cat scratching me. She was sitting on my leg, lost her balance when I moved, and tried to catch herself from falling by sticking her claw into my skin. I don't mind much since I love having to explain scars. :P
2. What is on the walls in your room?
Shelves full of junk (old sports trophies and knick naks), a big The Who poster, Fillmore poster from when I saw Mew there, picture frame that looks like a roll of film with random pictures, pirate flag and union jack hung up next to each other right above my bed, and a German flag and my hat peg with my cowboy hat and disney pirate hat on it.
3. Do you snore, grind your teeth, or talk in your sleep?
I fell off the top bunk one time at camp. Apparently I got up, said "I'm fine, I'm fine", climbed back up, and went back to sleep. I didn't even know any of it happened in the morning.
4. What type of music do you listen to?
Lots of classic rock, psych rock, folk, psych folk...60s sorta stuff. Classic metal, the better stuff of the modern rock scene, 80s/90s alternative, some 80s New Wave, some techno/electronica when I wanna relive my pre-teen years. Classical, when the mood calls. Anything that stands out and has it's own identity to it. Anything strange.
5. Do you know what time you were born?
11:11 am. And my brother was born at 11:11 pm. My dad insists. :P

Something to do, maybe a good IM conversation, but everyone's offline.

Eating healthier, regular meals.
8. What is your most prized possession(s)?
Probably my laptop or guitar.
9. How tall are you?
5'6"
10. Do you get scared in the dark?
Nah. I like trying to walk around my house in the dark. It's fun to see how far you can get before turning off the lights or getting to a spot in the room that's lit by the clock or something.
11. Do you get claustrophobic?
No...but I don't like being enclosed, if that's what you mean. I don't think anybody really likes that.

Haha... I like everybody, unless I dislike them.
23. Are you double-jointed?
No...well, maybe in my shoulders? I dunno what it is, but I can bend my arms oddly.

Well Chloe's ads are always brilliant, but Dolce and Gabana's silver corsety belts from like...last year, I still really want. For the most part, though, for the clothes I'd actually wear, I like vintage the best.

28. Would you fall in love knowing that the person is leaving?
At that point, it'd probably just be lust...hanging on to the very last dregs even though you know you can't be together forever. The whole situation is too sappy for me. Eugh.
29. What is the best way to tell someone how much they mean to you?
Do little things for them. Play their favorite song when they're in the car with you. Clean their room. Hug em. Share your food with em. Kindness speaks louder than words...and sounds a whole lot less lame and tacky.
