10 JAN 09
One of my friends from undergrad sent me one of those little survey things that are always popping up on sites like Myspace. You know the things, designed for 7th graders to try to figure out if so-and-so likes them and if the rumor about the tattoo is really true. I have to admit there was a time when I probably filled out 3 of these things a month, but it's been a long time. So, in the spirit of keeping my blog/journal thing entertaining, here goes:
(I wonder what my answers to these would have been when I was 17 . . .)
How far away is the person you miss?
I've moved a lot and made really good friends in all the places I've lived. I miss a lot of people currently located all over the world.
Any plans for tomorow?
We're going to try out a new church. There's a UU church up in Manassas that seems like it probably has a pretty good RE (Religious Education; think Sunday school) program, and it has a UU pagans group that I'm really hoping will be active.
When was the last time you were sick?
I had the worst cough that just drained my body and lasted for most of December.
How long does it take for you to take a shower?
It depends on if I'm at work or at home and whether or not MacGyver joins me . . .
What time did you get up today?
8:38 to let the dogs out. Mmmmm . . . I love sleeping past 5:30
Ever thrown up in public?
I believe I've thrown up in a few semi-public places.
Do you still talk to your ex?
I used to be pretty good friends with a number of them, and I still speak to them once in a while, but not often.
What's the first thing you did when you turn 18?
I don't even remember turning 18 . . . So the first thing I probably did was to have another shot.
Where's the last place you went?
We had to run to the grocery store at 10 last night when we realized we didn't have anything for breakfast.
Are you closer you to your mom or dad?
I'm pretty close to both of my parents, but in different ways.
When was the last time you cried?
I avoid crying.
Can you imagine yourself living in a cardboard box?
Ummm, I lived in an old Ford Escort for the first 6 weeks I was in NY. That's close, right? My stuff lived in a cardboard box in the trunk.
Who was the last person you talked to?
MacGyver.
Whats the worst subject they teach in school?
Abstinence Only Sex Education. What a freaking crock of S*&^. Studies keep showing that all it does is reduce the use of condoms and other forms of contraception. It doesn't reduce the actual age at which kids start having sex. Ugh. I could go on and on about this.
When will you have kids?
We're planning to start trying to have another in about a year. For now, Punky and the pups keep me pretty busy.
What is your favorite color shirt to wear?
Earth tones or Red.
Are you a cuddler?
I'm going to go with no. MacGyver and I can get pretty mushy fairly often, but I don't think I could ever survive referring to myself as a "cuddler."
What's the closest thing to you that's green?
MacGyver's shirt.
Would you ever get plastic surgery?
Only corrective. I've sustained enough injuries to understand that I may one day have to have my face reconstructed, lol.
Would you prefer a baby boy or girl?
I think deep down there's a part of me that wants another girl, but really it's up to the Universe, I'd be excited either way. Ah, but that's still at least a year off.
What was the weather like today?
Kinda grey and rainy, but not too bad really.
Are you a forgiving person?
I can be very forgiving, but I rarely forget. I can also be very, very vindictive.
Do you like the song 'I Kissed A Girl' by Katy Perry?
This would be an example of one of the Jr. High questions I referred to earlier. Yeah, it's an upbeat song. I like Katy Perry. I don't really blush at the idea of kissing a girl. I've always said my love life would be a thousand times easier if I were a lesbian.
Have you ever thought about getting your nose pierced?
I used to be really into piercings, but for some reason I never really wanted the nose.
What were you doing at midnight last night?
Watching Indiana Jones with the fam.
What were you doing 2 hours ago?
Taking a shower
Have you ever liked someone who treated you like crap?
Yeah, to say the very least.
Is there a secret you've never told your parents?
Well, my mom still doesn't know I ever lived in my car, had a knife pulled on me in Bed-Stuy, or suffered temporary brain damage from a car accident . . .
