(no subject)
I got home past midnight last night and thus couldn't do the post I was talking about yesterday. Then I checked my friends page today and froggandie had done a quiz. Oh noes!
1)How old do you wish you were? 21
2) Where were you when 9/11 happened? When I first heard about it I was at my off-campus apartment. Given it was Tuesday, I didn't have to wake up until late because I had no T/Th classes and LegoLab wasn't until later in the day, 3 or so. So when Les burst in and said "come downstairs, now!" I was quite pissed off he had awaken me, and even more pissed when he said someone flew a plane into the WTC, because I didn't believe him. But he insisted, so I came downstairs to humor him and was in absolute disbelief when I saw the news reports.
3) What do you do when vending machines steal your money? Kick, call number on it, bitch people out and demand money back.
4) Do you consider yourself kind? Usually.
5) If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be? Somewhere unobtrusive but probably not too intimate. Maybe very high on the arm, or lower back, or if it were a very small one then maybe ankle or something. Though I've heard they hurt more the less cushion there is in a place.
6) If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be? I love so many languages that it'd be hard to choose. Maybe Russian or Chinese? Just so as to know something very different than my native language.
7) Do you know your neighbors? No. The one who's most likely to hear me being loud is an older man (but not elderly) who has plants. There are plenty of college and just post-college aged people, and lots of married couples with small dogs. But I don't really know any of them.
8)What do you consider a vacation? To actually feel like a vacation nowadays I have to travel a significant distance from home, either somewhere I don't normally go or somewhere I do go fairly often but for longer (a weekend in Houston doesn't qualify, but 4 days would, while just a weekend in San Antonio would).
9) Do you follow your horoscope? No. I see old Onion horoscopes on my daily calendar sometimes :D
10) Would you move for the person you love? Certainly, but it's not the best option for us right now.
11) Are you touchy feely? Some days yes, some days no. Definitely moreso with those I know well!
12) Do you believe that opposites attract? In magnets? Yes. In people? Sometimes. Sometimes they repel. I don't think you can make a hard and fast rule for compatibility that way.
13) Dream job? All-powerful ruler ;) Seriously, I don't really have a dream job. As long as it pays well and I enjoy it (the latter category having many many contributing factors) then it's a dream job.
14) Favorite channel(s)? Wait... TV? I guess Comedy Central because it has the greatest proportion of shows I watch on Tivo when I go over to G&D's place.
15) Favorite place to go on weekends? Where my boy is. Or if my boy's coming into town to see me, then... um... Chuy's :D
16) Showers or Baths? Showers. I would need a bigger bathtub, because I hate not being able to submerge my whole self at once. In my opinion, if any part but enough to breathe is sticking out, it's not a bath. I'd even consider a snorkel.
17) Do you paint your nails? No. I've Sharpied my fingernails before, but it's definitely not a regular thing :P
18) Do you trust people easily? Kinda, yeah. Probably more than I should.
19) What are your phobias? Spiders, constrictive clothing, large groups speaking in unison.
20) Do you want kids? Kinda. Undecided. Definitely not yet.
21) Do you keep a handwritten journal? I did back in the day (high school). Now it's just the ol' LJ.
22) Where would you rather be right now? Home, relaxing. Probably playing WoW. Or with my boy, except that he's at work right now too. And I definitely wouldn't want to be around him when he's working. I'd probably form the World's Most Acute Ulcer.
23) Who makes you feel warm and fuzzy? Jason. Sometimes other people. Maybe Adri. But definitely Jason.
24) Heavy or light sleep? Pretty light in that I wake up fairly easily, but whether I will be functional when that awakening occurs depends on sleep cycles. Funny that I'm a light sleeper now, because back when I was little there were times when my parents physically could not wake me!
25) Are you paranoid? Occasionally.
26) Are you impatient? I'ma reiterate Andie's answer and say, "w/ stupid people."
27) Who can you relate to? A lot of people. little_shaman pops to mind, though, since we keep finding more ways in which we're practically emotional twins.
28) How do you feel about interracial couples? To me, that would be exactly the same question as, "how do you feel about couples?"
29) Have you been burned by love? Um... yes. Literally. There's a story behind that, but it's definitely TMI for a large portion of my readership. Some of you have heard it already anyway.
30) What's your life motto? I guess if I had to claim one, it would be something along the lines of "live in the present". Or maybe something about being nice. But I can't say I've thought about it very much.
31) What's your main ringtone on your mobile? It's called "Spooky" and it's the same one my roomie had when we used to have the same phone, back in the day. I didn't switch to that ring until we were living apart, though, cuz that woulda been confusing. The great thing about it, though, is that it has this rising cadence at the beginning that's easy to hear. That, and it's not smash-it-with-a-hammer annoying.
32) What were you doing at midnight last night? Preparing to leave Magic Night.
33) What did the last text on your cellphone say? I don't remember exactly, cuz I deleted it, but it was from Carl (not many other people text me these days). Which reminds me that I need to get back to him! I totally suck at communication.
34) Who's bed did you sleep in last night? Mine. So comfy.
35) What color shirt are you wearing? Vintage navy blue with multi-colored stripes.
36) Most recent movie you watched? Erm... I think it's still Dude, Where's My Car?. Haven't been very big on the movie-watching lately.
37) Name three things you have on you at all times? Well, nothing at ALL times. Given how much I sit around naked or mostly naked in my apartment! But aside from exercising, when I leave my apartment I always have my typical pocket items suite: keys, pen & pencil, chapstick, wallet, cell.
38.) What color are your bed sheets? Either white with blue stripes or navy blue. I have two sets. Right now, navy blue. I need to wash them soon.
39) How much cash do you have on you right now? $23
40) What is your favorite part of the chicken? The oysters. Beyond that, drumsticks. GAH, now I want chicken!!
41) What's your favorite town/city? Hm. Austin's definitely growing on me :)
42) I can't wait til... Well, since it's on my mind, this weekend. X-3 then travelling then graduation party and games and fun and stuff! :D
43) Who got you to join myspace? I'm still a holdout. I don't even look at other peoples' myspace for fear that I'll get sucked in.
44) What did you have for dinner last night? "Eat fresh"...
45) How tall are you barefoot? 5'11"
46) Have you ever smoked heroin? Nope.
47) Do you own a gun? I've owned many waterguns in my life. Aside from that, no.
48) What do you prefer to drink in the morning? OJ. HEB brand, not from concentrate. The cheapest one in the store, and yet the best tasting one as well. I love it when that works out.
49) What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex? Why would I want to do that? Well, if I did want to, I suppose a good first step would be to sit and listen to them for a while and do the whole empathy thing. Most guys don't do that.
50) Do you have A.D.D.? Never been diagnosed... but yes... ish.
51) What time did you wake up today? 7:45... then I went back to sleep and got up at 8:40 or so.
52) Current worry? What, me worry? I guess it'd be getting an appointment for my car to get its 20k mile tuneup.
53) Current hate? Time Warner Cable.
54) Favorite place to be? In bed is definitely a good choice. So is in front of my home compy. In bed with both lappy and Jason would be the best choice ;)
55) Where would you like to travel? Lots of places. Right now, I'm jealous that three of my close friends are going to Europe.
56) Where do you think you'll be in 10 yrs? No frickin' clue. Though you can be damn sure it'll be with my boy. I ain't waitin' that long!
57) Last thing you ate? Cheddar cheese.
58) What songs do you sing in the shower? Whatever's in my head, which is usually whatever I last heard on the radio, iTunes, my iPod, or whatever I last saw as somebody's music on my friends page.
59) Last thing that made you laugh? Well, it made me chuckle when Mike just sent a message to the group saying "me too" after Vernon had just emailed to say he'd be out tomorrow and returning on Tuesday. The last thing that really made me laugh hard was the Page of College Quotes, some of which are quite hilarious.
60) Worst injury you've ever had? Well, I had 4 stiches in my chin when I was little. But certainly the most disruptive was the first time I sprained my knee.
61) Does someone have a crush on you? How should I know? I'd like to think so.
62) What is your favorite candy? Hm. Skor bars? Mounds are up there too, as are Skittles.
63) What song do you want played at your funeral? Never gave it much thought. I don't really have anything in mind.
What a anticlimactic end to the quiz. Oh well. Cheers!
