meme cuz I’m bored and I found it and it seemed like a good enough list of random questions …
how did you get your scars?
I have chicken pox scars (because I was twenty-two when I got the pox and they were ugly and disgusting and I picked them LIKE MAD) on my chest, neck, arms, stomach, back, and thighs. they’re little white-ish dots. I have scars on my hands and arms from working with the dogs this summer. I was bitten (mostly in play – once not so much) and banged myself up on a lot of metal cages (usually being pulled across a wet floor by an over-excited and under-trained golden retriever). the poxes don’t seem to be going anywhere, but I’m sure the dog stuff will be gone in a year. no other scar has ever lasted on my flesh. I guess I’m a healer.
what is on the walls of your room?
purple paint, picture frames with my pets and my nieces, a calander, and a bulletin board. I had some nine inch nails posters up, but they refused to stay.
what does your cell phone look like?
blue with grey. a little screen. fits in your hand. typical.
what time were you born?
I … uhh … sometime just after nine a.m.
what do you want more than anything right now?
A - money to christmas shop with, so I can spend my paycheque on my bills.
B – a new job that does not suck and will let me make enough money to save up my school costs.
what do you miss?
having a home and a best friend.
what is your most prized possession?
since my stereo has wheezed it’s last breath, I’m forced to search for a new answer. can I count my cat and bunnies?
do you get clausterphobic?
not really. it would only be if I were in a space too small to move in – like when you see people crawling thru heating ducts in movies and things? that makes me feel squirmy.
do you get scared in the dark?
I have to be able to see a little – outlines and vague shapes, etc. if I can’t see, then I don’t like it.
what is your favorite perfume or cologne?
some ridiculously expensive vanilla stuff from france. my old roomate worked in a french body products store.
what kind of hair do you like on the opposite(/same) sex?
long. with one stupid irritating exception, who I refuse to discuss.
where do you see yourself being proposed to?
the public ice rink in the seventh circle of hell. in other words, not bloody likely.
coffee or energy drinks?
coffee, thank you. I have never put any of that weird scientific experiment juice in my mouth, and quite frankly I don’t think I ever will.
what is your favorite pizza topping?
besides lots of cheese, of course … green olives.
if you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
this is going to lead to me going out and eating fat-ass food in the name of it being too late to cook dinner, isn’t it? *sigh* … maybe pizza. maybe an aero bar. maybe I should go to the kitchen and wash my lettuce.
who is the last person you made mad?
besides stupid customers at work? I don’t know, carolyn, probably. my cat, when I dislodged her from bed this morning.
do you speak a different language?
I learned to speak french when I got persuaded to take enriched classes in high school and ended up in a class with a bunch of kids from bilingual families and ex-french immersion students. I was the only non-fluent one, which had to change awfully freaking fast. by the end of high school, I’d say I was fairly fluent. but I lost touch with the last friend from that class years ago, so I don’t speak french to anyone anymore.
would you fall in love, knowing that the person was leaving?
it’s a little optimistic to think you can control things like that, but I would probably try not to get attached.
what annoys you most?
ignorant, obnoxious people who think they are, in one way or another, some sort of gift to the earth.
first job?
besides the occasional babysitting job, that would be … yes folks, coaching gymnastics. one of the few careers you can begin while still in high school. really.
ever made a prank call?
sure, that was funny for a couple of weeks in seventh grade or so. then we realized it was just stupid and moved on.
if you could get plastic surgery, what would it be?
fat-sucking. out of my stomach.
what do you get complimented on most?
my hair, I guess. it’s ‘shiny’ and ‘soft’ and sometimes, apparantly, ‘a pretty color’. so I’m told. sometimes I agree. sometimes I see split ends. oh, and it smells good. apparantly my hair carries the scent of shampoo twice as strong and twice as long as anyone else’s. who knew?
what would you do if alcohol became illegal?
get pissed off. then find out which of my delinquent acquaintances was going to procure it for me anyway. I have little to no fear that I would still be able to get a bottle of vodka on those infrequent occasions I need one.
what do you want for your birthday?
the people who ought to acknowledge it, to do so. properly.
how many kids do you want?
you can have my reproductive organs right now if you want them. does that tell you?
were you named after anyone?
my middle name is my aunt’s name. apparantly I bore some sort of resemblance to her at birth. I doubt it. babies only look like other wrinkly red squalling babies.
do you wish on stars?
I’ve done it, but I don’t think it counts since it was never the first star in the sky.
do you like your handwriting?
sometimes. other people like it.
what is your favorite lunch meat?
veggie bologna
any bad habits?
yes, it’s called junk food. other than that, my incessant stupid need to pick pick pick everything.
what is the most embarassing cd on your shelf?
I refuse to be embarassed by my backstreet boys cd’s. they have a story to them. no, I won’t tell.
if you were another person, would you be friends with you?
maybe.
do looks matter?
yes. which is unfortunate cuz I’m no model. but yes. what’s inside can overpower ‘decent’ or ‘mediocre’ looks, but I don’t know how far it can go with ‘pure ugly’. this comes from someone who didn’t go into acting cuz she wasn’t pretty enough. don’t rant at me, I know how unfair it is.
how do you release anger?
I drive fast and play loud music. I used to just train until it fucking *hurt*. I wish I could still do that.
where is your second home?
the gymn up north.
do you trust others easily?
no.
what was your favorite toy as a child?
my barbie ski slope. I don’t think it was actually a ‘barbie’ toy, officially. I don’t know where it came from, but the ski slope was like three feet tall and it was goddamn cool.
do you use sarcasm?
it is my first language.
have you ever been in a mosh pit?
*sigh* not in so long …
what do you look for in a bf/gf?
I don’t want to use the word ‘attitude’, because it’s an irritating word and besides, I have to use it when describing the training habits of gymnasts. I’ll go with the way a person behaves and reacts to things. a person can prove themselves likable or detestable in only a few minutes.
what are your nicknames?
anything written – notes at work, cards, letters – is going to go by initials. at my old gym, everyone even wrote my initials in lowercase, the same way I do. it was kind of funny. my family writes my first and middle, because they call me by my full name most of the time. at work, it’s first and last. my friends just use my first.
I have the sort of name that doesn’t really lend itself to shortening. you can knock off the ending, but most people don’t.
do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
it’s kind of hard to take off doc martens without untying them. but my gym shoes only get untied when I feel like tightening the laces.
what’s your favorite ice cream flavour?
mint chocolate chip, but it has to come from baskin robbins. they also have really, really good chocolate fudge and french vanilla. anything with big chunks of cookie dough is also excellent. did I mention I have a junk food addiction?
what are your favorite colors?
black, purple, red.
how many wisdom teeth do you have?
I have two in a cup as a souvenir. the other two were so badly busted up they didn’t give them to me.
last thing you ate?
some brown rice. still working on getting to the kitchen for that salad.
last person you talked to on the phone?
kerry.
the first thing you notice in the opposite sex?
appearance and behaviour (as mentioned above)
where were you born?
in my mom’s hometown. the hospital in *my* hometown, where she had moved in with my dad, was so notoriously lousy that she had warned him all along she wasn’t giving birth to me there. as the famous story goes, she started getting contractions while out grocery shopping. she finished shopping, came home, *had*a*shower*, waited till my dad came home from work, dropped my sister off at my aunt’s house on the way there, and finished the half-hour drive to the hospital she had decided to have me at. fortunately, I wasn’t an impatient baby.
scariest thing that has ever happened to you?
tornado. that is all. green sky, big train noise, trees in the yard, friend’s brother dead under the staircase. yep, that’s it.
last thing you watched?
of substance? I think it was ‘mr & mrs smith’. paid slight attention to while doing something else? two episodes of ‘faking it’ on the learning channel, about a smart geeky tomboy becoming a cheerleader and the most stereotypical librarian you could ever imagine becoming a coyote ugly bartender.
favorite day of the year?
I like christmas. christmas eve and hallowe’en are also good. any competition day is great, altho’ I’ll probably still have a bald spot, an ulcer and a new zit at the end of the day. coaching is just like that.
relationships or one-night stands?
totally depends what you’re looking for at the time.
what books are you reading?
I am trying very hard to find something I actually want to read, that is actually *available* at a bookstore. it’s turning out to be very difficult.
