1. If your doctor told you TODAY that you were pregnant, what would you say?
I always wanted to be the lesbian mommy of the Second Coming! Bwahahaha.
2. Do you trust all of your friends?
As I have just recently consciously realized, I have trust issues. I trust Catherine completely. She's seen it all, the worst of me, and I would tell her anything. The others I share myself with only mostly. I'm trying to be better about that.
3. Would you move to another state or country to be with the one you love?
I think so. It's a good question.
4. Do you believe that everythng that happens happens for a reason?
Not everything. I believe that shit happens (e.g. God doesn't sit around sending natural disasters to various places as symbols of his displeasure). However, everything that happens can teach you something, can be made meaningful.
5. Can you make a pound in change right now?
No way. Can't remember exactly how much a pound is, but it's more than I have in change.
6. Which one of your friends do you think would make the best doctor?
Hmm. Actually I think Catherine would be a good doctor, in that she can say uncomfortable things in a nice way and make people feel better while still retaining some distance.
7. Are you afraid of falling in love?
Nah.
8. How many cars are in your driveway?
My family has two cars. I don't have one and don't plan to anytime soon. For one thing, I'm terrified of driving, and I can't afford one, and the cherry on top is that cars are evil for the environment. I hope to live somewhere where they're not such a necessary evil.
9. Is there someone who pops into your mind at random times?
The person who comes to mind (ha ha) is Carl, a studio art graduate from last year and my longtime acquaintance. I really liked his art and comics and talking to him about comics theory. But that doesn't explain why I've had so many dreams with him in them! He keeps popping up in my subconscious.
10. What's your most favourite scar?
The rather large scar on my knee; I fell while running on a dirt road in Panama. It was rather horrifically gory at the time, and for a few days I was the talk of my small town. They especially thought it was macho that I didn't cry.
11. When was the last time you flew in a plane?
A week and a half or so ago. o.O
12. What did the last text message you sent say and who to?
I wouldn't know how to text message anyone. I don't even have a cellphone! I think they're obnoxious, generally.
13. What features do you find most attractive in the preferred sex?
That would be a long list. The things that really get me are smelling good and smiling and laughing often. I am a total sucker for a loud and joyful laugh.
14. Fill in the blank. I love ____.
Also a really long list! Read my poetry!
15. What is a goal you would like to accomplish in the near future?
Get Christmas presents sent off on time this year. Especially to my Panamanian community, because I've been a bad correspondent and they deserve to know I haven't forgotten them.
16. Do you ever disobey your parents?
My parents are very easygoing and hard to disobey.
17. How many kids do you want to have?
Of my own, no more than two. Don't want to explode the population too much. But, although I would love to be pregnant (and think I would be AWESOME at it... go my body), I think it's more likely that I will adopt. I mean, it's a noble thing to do, and I tend to end up with girls. In that case... however many I think I can handle! I have so much love to give!
18. Would you make a good parent?
Probably. I'm a caring person and more or less stable. Someday I would like to have kids, with a spouse who will hopefully compensate for my parental weaknesses. Like I can see myself forgetting to pick my kids up from wherever. But they would be fed well, at least!
19. Where was your default picture taken?
I think in our hallway. And then my little sister maniped it. It's freaked out grown men!
20. What's your middle name?
Leah.
21. Honestly, what's on your mind right now?
What to do with my life. Oh the angst!
22. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
I'd make myself not such a jerk in high school. Also I would go back to the beginning of last year and give myself a good shake and ask myself how I thought dating Paul could possibly be better than dating Buzzy... I mean really, what was I thinking?
23. Who was or will be the maid of honour/ best man at your wedding?
Catherine, duh. If she wants to, that is.
24. What are you wearing right now?
Blue fuzzy pajama pants, penguin Christmas shirt, pink striped socks.
25. Righty or Lefty?
I'm pretty ambidextrous, actually! I still write better with my left hand, but only because I've had more practice.
26. Best place to eat?
When things go right, my place!
27. Favourite jeans?
A pair handed down from my sister that I ripped up and mended and sewed ribbon on with B... Best little pair of jeans ever.
28. Favourite animal?
I have a big weakness for kitties! Also, for some reason, turtles.
29. Favourite juice?
Orange with calcium. I'm not a huge juice fan though.
30. Have you had the chicken pox?
Yep. I had just finished first grade, and we were going to Disneyland that summer but then I got sick. But it was okay because my first grade teacher gave me Pippi Longstocking and old Cricket magazines to read, and I was happy.
31. Have you had a sore throat?
Not much, actually. I usually just get the sniffles.
32. Ever had a bar fight?
Ha.
33. Who knows you the best?
Catherine.
34. Shoe size?
7 1/2, roughly.
35. Do you wear contact lenses or glasses?
Glasses. I love my glasses. I get compliments on these new purple ones a lot, which is rad.
36. Ever been in a fight with your pet?
Not really.
37. Been to California?
Many a time.
38. Did you buy something today?
Yep. Christmas presents. But not a Greyhound ticket because the damn site wouldn't let me!
39. Did you get sick today?
I'm actually a little sniffly. Another random symptom of being home, believe it or not. I don't count it as being sick though because otherwise I feel great.
40. Do you miss someone today?
Yes, more than one person in fact.
41. Did you get in a fight with someone today?
No, I even managed to avoid squabbling with the 'rents today. Praise Jesus.
42. When is the last time you had a massage?
When B was here. :( I loooove massages - give me a backrub every day and I'll be a happy woman.
43. Last person to lay in your bed?
B as well. Unless you count the cat.
44. Last person to see you cry?
Dad and Debra.
45. Who made you cry?
No one, it was just frustration and such.
46. What was the last TV show you watched?
Rome. The exciting finale with Antony and Cleopatra. I'm still pissed Vergil didn't get one cameo though!
47. What are your plans for the weekend?
Tomorrow my little bro and I are going to have a reading party, with snacks. He needs to catch up on his reading. Baking. Working on Christmas presents. Maybe job searching.
48. Who do you think will repost this?
Stephus. Possibly also Ry.
49. Who was the last person you hung out with?
I read side by side with Ian tonight and went to the gym with Susan today. Virtually speaking, Catherine and Steph.
50. If your significant other asked you to marry them TODAY what would you say?
I would say yes, because she is one of my best friends and also gorgeous and I would be dumb not to. (I mean, who else would actually find my dad's jokes funny?) But we should probably be engaged for a long time first because I do not yet feel ready to settle down and buy a blender and adopt a cat. Also it'd be nice if it were actually legal around here. Sigh.
Also, if you like/are interested in Jesus,
this is a really cool thread. See, I told you, 'tis the season for me to be especially Jesus-freakish. When I was in the gym today, they played a hyper remix of "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and it made me SO HAPPY.
