pulse check.
Oh, Hi. I'm bored at work, and evidently I took the time to fill this bad boy out like... who even knows how long ago, and never posted it. Sup saved drafts?
WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR LJ USERNAME?:
I was fifteen. "Firefly" was my nickname (I was a bit of a nightowl), but it was taken. I was into anime at the time, so chibi (meaning "small" or "mini") came into play. Funny, because I'm actually quite tall (5'9").
NAME FIVE [5] OF YOUR FAVORITE PIG-OUT FOODS:
Guacamooooole is my favorite, or anything involving avocado. I also love broccoli salad, frozen yogurt, green papaya salad, and a brown rice poke bowl with a touch of wasabi and LOTS of furikake.
HOW DO YOU DRESS/WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?:
I am the quintessential jeans and t-shirt girl, but over the past couple of years I've been trying to rock dresses more often. I love dressing up for outings, and now that I'm able to wear heels without feeling self-conscious, I adore those, even if they do kill my feet a bit.
WHAT'S THE LONGEST TIME YOU'VE STAYED OUT OF THE COUNTRY/WHERE?:
I've never been out of the country, but I've been in Hawaii for a spell. I consider it to be halfway outside the country.
ONE THING YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR, TODAY:
Ugh, sleep. I went out dancing with Amy last night, and there was tequila involved.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING:
One that doesn't happen for a very, very long time.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING WHEN YOU ARE 60?
Enjoying life. I doubt I'll be retired by then, but I just hope I'm doing something I like, and that I'm overall happy with the way things have panned out for me.
NAME ONE TV CHARACTER YOU'D MOST WANT TO BE:
I don't really watch tv, so this is kind of a bad question for me. Besides, I'm pretty freakin' awesome, and it'd be a disservice to myself to deny that by wanting to be someone else.
FAVORITE GEMSTONE?
I'm an October baby, so I'm kind of a natural sucker for Opals. I also like pearls, but I'm not sure if you'd call those gemstones.
GIVE YOURSELF A PORN STAR NAME:
What if I already have one? ;) Kidding.
According to the rule of thumb, it's your first pet's name and the street you grew up on, so I guess that'd make me Heidi Whitman. Ow ow!
WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER?
Work, unfortunately. I'll probably just work and hoard money and keep working on my sweet freakin' tan.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISNEY SONG?
I really like all of the music from Tangled, so it'd probably be a tie between the healing incantation and the one they sing when they're in the boat (while I am bawling like a 4 year old in the background).
IF YOU WERE FAMOUS, AND WERE TO BE A GUEST ON A TALK SHOW, WHOSE SHOW WOULD YOU CHOOSE? WHY?:
Jimmy Kimmel. Because that man needs all then non-fail he can get to compensate for how lame his show is (aside from the musical talent, which is usually pretty win).
DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY SAVED?:
Surprisingly, yes. I checked my savings account out of curiosity a couple days ago only to discover that I have enough socked away to pay for fall tuition and books (or fall and summer tuition if I decide to take a class or two this summer.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WEIRD SLEEPING HABITS?:
I am either a really hard sleeper or an extremely light sleeper. I also sleep very cold. Right now I sleep under a down comforter and a regular comforter. Living in Hawaii, where "cold" is anything less than 70 degrees.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW?:
I really really love the intro and the title track from "Some Nights" by Fun.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM HOUSE:
Next to/in a forest. I haven't really worked out the rest yet.
YOUR TYPICAL SLEEPWEAR:
Pj pants/boxers + Cami/tank top/t-shirt, although I have been known to sleep in my birthday suit from time to time.
WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?:
An alternate dimension, full of crap (Seriously, it's bad).
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PAIR OF SHOES?:
These bad boys. In the aforementioned effort to be a little classier, I've become determined to learn how to walk in ridiculously high heels. These are currently the highest ones I own, and they are AMAZING.
WHAT ARE THE FIRST FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD SPLURGE ON IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE?:
College tuition, retirement, bailing my family out of all of their debt, flying everyone I know out to Hawaii to visit, and a sizable donation to get animals spayed/neutered/spoiled by someone who loves them.
WHAT IS YOUR DAILY BEFORE-GOING-TO-BED RITUAL?:
Remove makeup (if wearing any) PJs, brush teeth, drink glass of water, and snuggle until I fall asleep.
NAME THREE [3] OF YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTERS:
Babs Bunny, Doug Funnie, Lisa Simpson.
WHAT ARE THE MAGAZINES YOU READ ON A REGULAR BASIS?:
I think Holli has a subscription to some Womens' Fitness magazine, so I browse through that if it's around, Discover, and I page through the ads issues of Allure that I randomly got a subscription to from time to time as well.
DO YOU TAKE ANY MEDICATIONS? WHICH ONES?:
Nuva ring, for ovarian cysts and menstrual regulation.
WHAT IS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ?:
I am currently reading 50 Psychology Classics: Who We Are, How We Think, What We Do; Insight and Inspiration from 50 Key Books and Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. The last book I completed was The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels by Thomas Cahill. I had to read it for school, but I actually really enjoyed it. It was informative and very interesting, which is saying a lot for a history book.
