Last night was cool, but my internet is going berserk, so I'm trying to write fast.
Basically, my goal for today is to have a technician come to the house and look at the internet cable, because tech support said that's where my problem is.
I'm not shaving today, so I hopefully look older.
If you need to contact me for any reason, please call my cell phone.

Name

Physical Aspects
8) Are you satisfied with your appearance: Slightly, I think I look too ... ethnic.
9) Would you say that your appearance deviates from societal ideals: Definitely.
10) Do you tend to believe that friends tell you that you are good looking only to avoid
hurting your feelings: I often do, because what friend is going to tell you that you're ugly?

13) Do you prefer foods that have a familiar or exotic taste: The more exotic the better

Clothing
18) What sort of clothing do you typically wear: Black t-shirt and black shorts. Trenchcoat on top when it's not summer.

20) Do you purposefully wear baggy clothing to conceal your figure, or wear revealing clothing to make you more desirable: The former, I don't feel very comfortable about my figure. The more covered up I am, the less vulnerable I feel. My trench coat is like a suit of visual armor.

opinion of them: Yeah. People who were originally visually uninteresting have become quite stunning to me.
22) At any time in your life have you felt that you had not met any person worthy of your
romantic attention: I did feel that way, for a while. Can you blame me with the school I go to?
23) Would you prefer an extended, meaningful relationship, or a series of short, exciting
ones: I'd take the latter, probably just because I'd get to experience a lot more things.

somebody to want: Yes, I definitely have.
25) Does shallow physical intimacy make you feel wanted: I can't really talk from experience here.

feels that way towards you: I don't think it would mean much to me, but I've never felt romantically wanted
