Stolen Me! Me! Meme
Appearance
[ ] I am shorter than 5'4.
[ ] I have many scars. (Small ones, mostly.)
[ ] I tan easily. (But I don't get very dark.)
[ ] I wish my hair was a different color. (I've always been jealous of my sister's naturally red hair.)
[ ] I have a tattoo.
[X] I am self-conscious about my appearance.
[X] I have/I've had braces (in high school)
[ ] I wear glasses (the wonder of lasik! Except now I'm wondering if my sight is getting worse)
[X] I would get plastic surgery if it were 100 safe, free of cost, and scar-free. (Already had my ears pinned in high school, as a gift from my dad for Xmas. I would never have thought of it then. Now, I would lightly consider having neck lipo, since my jawline is so weak, but I'll try to lose another 10-15 pounds before I think about that, even as a hypothetical. The ENT guy did tell me that he could work on that if I had to have the cyst in my neck removed.)
[X] I've been told I'm attractive by a complete stranger. (Never as a pick up- a black woman on the streets of DC told me I looked like a Barbie doll, which I didn't consider to be a compliment. I had my hair long back then. Really long.
[ ] I have more than 2 piercings.
[X] I have piercings in places besides my ears. (My clit. No, just kidding.)
[X] I have freckles. (Very mild.)
Family/Home Life
[X] I've sworn at my parents. (The opposite of what jenelope said: As a kid in jest, and as an adult in earnest- my mother)
[X] I've run away from home. (And not the "didn't make it to the end of the street" way. I stated with a boyfriend, when my mother's now ex-husband was a control freaky asshat, and my mom was acting like a kid)
[ ] I've been kicked out of the house.
[ ] My biological parents are together. (Ha ha hahahahaha! Yeah, right.)

[X] I almost always did my homework. (Scratch that "almost" part)
[ ] I've missed a week or more of school.
[X] I've been on the Honor Roll within the last 2 years. (The last two years I was in school, that is. I always was a little miss academic achiever)
[ ] I failed more than 1 class last year.
[X] I've stolen something from my job. (Vast acres of time, but not really stuff. I end up contributing paper or pens or stuff I use.)
[ ] I've been fired.
[X] I've skipped school. (But because I was always on top of school, I never felt bad about skipping.)
Embarrassment
[ ] I've slipped out an "lol" in a spoken conversation.
[X] Disney movies still make me cry. (Tons of movies make me cry, but the part where Simba's dad dies in the Lion King- ugh.)
[X] I've peed from laughing. (Something tells me I should be investing in an adult diapers company)
[X] I've snorted while laughing. (Occasionally)
[X] I've laughed so hard I've cried. (My favorite example was when I was with Alan and we saw Pulp Fiction in the theater, and we both cried at the watch-up-the-ass part. More recently, a British Microsoft guy came over for a study, and at the end we were trading European jokes, and he came out with "Know what the Italian flag looks like? A white cross on a white background." In my defense, I was very tired and giggly. The other jokes? "How many French does it take to defend Paris? Dunno, never been tried." and "Why does the Champs-Elysées have so many trees? The Germans like their parades in the shade.")

[X] I've been skiing. (It's one of the few things that I've said I will never do again due to the bone-crushing fear.)
[X] I've been in a play. (In junior high drama class, and in 4th or 5th grade in a private drama school production of Alice in Wonderland. I was Tweedledee, and, it turns out, Tweedledum was in my high school class. It took us a while to figure that out. I think I was in Oliver in, like, 2nd grade, but I don't remember it much. My mom was a music teacher and helped put on musicals, and they all blur together.)

[ ] I've gotten divorced.
[X] I've had feelings for someone who didn't have them back. (High school crush. Ever since then, I have too much self-respect to like someone who doesn't like me back. Waste of time.)

[ ] I've told someone I didn't love them when I did.
[ ] I've kept something from a past relationship.
Sexuality
[ ] I've had a crush on someone of the same sex. (I mean, I thought my college aerobics instructor was hot, but not really a crush. I would consider a crush to be someone I would actually date, and out of all the chicks I thought were hot and were "girly crushes" [Jennifer Garner], none were a turn on in a sexual way. I'm not sure that's what this item refers to.)
[ ] I've had a crush on a teacher.
[X] I am a cuddler.
[ ] I love to flirt. (Only with people I want to hook up with; it's the opposite of flirting harmlessly, since I don't see that as okay for me. It would be like leading someone on for me.)

[ ] I've been suspended from school.
[X] I've witnessed a crime. (Drunk guy breaking into his own car down the shore in Jersey.)
[X] I've been in a fist fight. (Okay, maybe not exactly a fist fight, but a scuffle with my ex-stepdad, the crazed loony bipolar physics professor. Freak.)
[ ] I've been arrested.
[X] I've shoplifted. (In 4th grade, I think, some candy from a 7-11. The guilt made me confess to my mom, and I went back there and paid them.)
Death and Suicide
[ ] I'm afraid of dying.
[X] I hate funerals. (More that I hate the idea of burial, and I've never yet been to a funeral for someone who was cremated.)

[ ] I own something from Abercrombie.
Political/Social Attitudes
[X] In general, I don't like people. (I have so little faith in most humans that sometimes it scares me.)
[X] I'm a feminist. (Yup. Hands offa my uterus, my job, my life, you commie Republican freaks!)
[X] I'm very outgoing. (Uh, yeah.)
[ ] I listen to political music.
[X] I'm Democratic. (They stand for almost everything I believe in right now. I'd love to be more neutral, but it's just not possible for me in this fucked up political climate.)
[ ] I'm Republican.
[X] I'm liberal. (Absolutely. Bring on the drug legalization and gay marriage.)
[X] I don't like Bush because he is dumb.
[X] I don't like Bush with my own reasons to back it up.
[ ] I am for Bush.
[ ] I'm religious.
[X] I dress fairly modestly. (To quote Anne verbatim: Not for modesty's sake, but because I'm old and chubby.)
[X] My attitude is, "If you've got it, flaunt it." (The exception can be my tits.)
Random

And to eventually travel with the money I'm not spending on kids.)
[X] My answers are totally honest.
