Because no one ever talks to me on Tumblr

Aug 01, 2012 00:16

Here is a survey I stole from there. I should probably be going to sleep, but screw that. Procrastination, my only friend.

1. Think of the last person who said I love you, do you think they meant it?
Yes. I'm pretty sure it was either my son or husband, so yep.

2. Would you date an 18-year-old at the age you are now?
I don't think so. If I was single right now, I'm not sure I'd date anyone who was younger than 25. Unless, of course, Josh Hutcherson showed up on my (newly single) doorstep with blonde hair, dressed up as Peeta Mellark. Then maybe I would rethink my policy. I mean... nothing.

3. When’s the last time you were aggravated and happy at the same time?
Probably this afternoon. Every day. Having a child leaves you both happy and annoyed at the same time quite often. Even though they drive you nuts, you can't help but love them.

4. Would you ever smile at a stranger?
Yes, I have. Often just to be polite, but sometimes because I'm genuinely happy or perhaps because they said something that made me laugh.

5. Is there someone mad because you’re dating/talking to the person you are?
I hope not! I mean, I know not everyone's going to like my husband (he can be a little crotchety at times, and is very stubborn when it comes to his political views), but I don't think anyone's actually angry about it. Probably the last time I made someone angry about who I was with was when I first started dating my [future] husband... pretty sure my ex-boyfriend was pretty peeved about the whole thing.

6. Have you heard a song that reminds you of someone today?
Yes, I just did!

7. What exactly are you wearing right now?
A really baggy shirt and velvet stretchy pants. I didn't go out today, so I am the picture of comfort and frump.

8. How often do you listen to music?
Every day. I always listen to it in my car and often when I'm on the computer as well.

9. Do you wear jeans or sweats more?
Jeans. If I'm not in a jeans mood, I will either wear a dress, or if I'm dressing down, yoga pants. I don't know the last time I wore sweat pants...

10. Do you think your life will change dramatically before 2013?
Possibly. There are several scenarios right now that could change my life in a big way: a) I pick up a full-time job again, which I am going to start looking for in a couple weeks, b) I become pregnant, which at this point, would be a near miracle, or c) my husband finds a new job, which he is not actively searching for, but could potentially happen either sooner or later, and could drastically change our life circumstances in more than one way.

11. Are you a social or an antisocial person?
Both - I am kind of paradoxical that way. I really enjoy social interaction, but I want it on my terms. I feel very anxious about talking to people I don't know and sometimes when I am in a social situation, I will feel the need to go off by myself for a bit. I also very much appreciate time by myself and get very cranky and out of sorts if I don't have time to myself at some point every day.

12. Have you ever kissed someone whose name begins with the letter ‘A’?
I don't think so... but I dreamed about it recently, hahaha.

13. What about ‘R’?
Not that I can think of.

14. Can you drive a stick shift?
Barely. I learned how to in college thanks to my awesome roommate, and then thanks again to my husband, when we were dating, but I have to say that it would be hard to take on a manual car without a few stops and stalls.

15. Do you care if people talk badly about you?
Yes. As much as I'd love to not care at all about what people think, my obsession with people's impression of me drives my personality in a big way.

16. Are you going out of town soon?
Yes!!! I am flying to California in less than a week! And I can't wait, because I'm going to hang out with pretentiouskyle and eat all kinds of awesome food. And then I'm going to Disneyland! I love traveling.

17. When was the last time you cried?
Probably yesterday. I was upset about something that had happened with my kid that morning, and after talking about it with Wes, let it get to me a little too much.

18. Have you ever told someone you loved them?
Of course. Most recently, my dear husband and child, but I have loved several people in the past and present that I have shared my feelings with, friends and otherwise.

19. If you could change your eye color, would you?
Yes, I've always wanted blue eyes. I would love to be able to get those colored contacts, but my eye prescription is so strong, I can't get them!

20. Is there a boy who you would do absolutely everything for?
Yes, I have two of them.

21. Name something you dislike about the day you’re having.
That I haven't gone to sleep yet...

22. Is it cute when guys kiss you on your forehead?
Yes, but my God, it is such an overused cliche in the Hunger Games fandom.

23. Are you dating the last person you talked to?
Yep! Well, we're married, but, right.

24. What are you sitting on right now?
My desk chair...

25. Does anyone regularly (other than family) tell you they love you?
Hmm, I guess since my husband kind of counts as family now, I would have to say not regularly, but when my friends and I get drunk, sometimes we profess how much we all love each other. Heh.

26. Have you ever wanted someone you couldn’t have?
Yes.

27. Who was the last person you talked to before you went to bed last night?
My husband.

28. Do you get a lot of colds?
More than I used to. I have tried counteracting this by taking vitamins again, which helps a lot, but as soon as I run out for a week, that's when I'll pick up a cold.

29. Where is the shirt you are wearing from?
Nordstrom Rack.

30. Does anyone hate you?
Probably, although I'd prefer not to think about it. I mean, hate is a pretty strong word. I guess I'd like to think someone just doesn't really like me that much. That would be understandable. I can be pretty annoying at times.

31. Do you have any empty alcohol bottles hidden somewhere in your room?
Ha! No, but I have taken to hiding whiskey in my house since it tends to disappear before I can drink a lot of it. Luckily, my husband hasn't been drinking lately, so I don't have to do that anymore.

32. Do you like watching scary movies?
No. Not because they give me nightmares, because they generally don't, but I just don't enjoy being "scared." I tend to find most horror movies hokey and annoying.

33. Do you want your tongue pierced?
I thought about doing it when I was younger, but wasn't keen on not being able to eat real food for an extended period of time and the possibility of infection. My last boyfriend before Wes has his pierced, though, and it was pleasant....

34. If you had to delete one year of your life completely, which would it be?
Probably my 7th grade year. That was really rough for me.

35. Did you have a dream last night?
Yes, I had several, which I vaguely remember ruminating on when I woke up several times, but I can't remember what they are now, other than that they involved both sets of parents (mine and my in-laws), which is unusual, because I usually just dream about my parents and my childhood house as the main setting of my dreams. Why, I don't know.

36. When was the last time you told someone you loved them?
Earlier today.

37. Do you think you’ll be married in 5 years?
Done...

38. Do you think someone has feelings for you?
Yes.

39. Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Probably not, it's a bit late for people to be up and thinking about me. That seems a bit egotistical anyway, doesn't it?

40. Did you have a good day yesterday?
By the end of the day, I did.

41. Think back 2 months ago; were you in a relationship?
Yes .... I have been married for 11 years.

42. In the next 48 hours, will you hang out with a girl?
Yes, I have plans to see my friend tomorrow and go to the gym.

43. Has anyone told you they don’t want to ever lose you?
Yes.

44. What’s the best part about school?
Not having to go anymore! Ha!

45. Do you have any pictures on your Facebook?
Yes. And 99% of the ones with me in them are really awful.

46. Do you ever pass notes to your friends in school?
I used to -- we had a notes notebook that we would exchange between us and write notes back and forth, until at some point in senior year, I think, something that was written in the notes caused some drama between my friends. I think that was the end of the notebooks at that point, but I'm not sure. Too many years have passed at this point. I am so old!!

47. Do you replay things that have happened in your head?
All the time. I am constantly questioning what I have done or the way I acted, especially if it didn't end the way I wanted it to.

48. Were you single over the last summer?
Nope.

49. Is your life anything like it was two years ago?
Not exactly. I was working a lot more two years ago -- I also was a little more stable from a mental perspective. I am working back up to normalcy again, but it's been a bit of a process. I'm looking forward to some new prospects and changes this fall.

50. What are you supposed to be doing right now?
Sleeping.

51. Do you hate the last guy you had a conversation with?
No, but he may have been annoyed with me since I was not coming to bed right away. Heh.

52. Are you nice to everyone?
I try to be, but a lot of times I open my mouth before I realize what I'm saying, and I say things that come out rude or more straightforward than they should. In my heart, though, I would like to be nice to pretty much everyone, unless they're rude to me first. Then I just prefer to ignore them.

53. Have you ever liked someone you didn’t expect to?
Yes, many times. Life is quite surprising that way. I thought Wes was a troll when I first met him. It took me a bit to warm up to him.

54. Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months and not cheat?
Yes.

55. Are you good at hiding your feelings?
Sometimes.

56. Do you think you like someone?
I like a lot of people. In what way?

57. Have you kissed someone whose name starts with a ‘J’?
Yes, in a game of Spin the Bottle.

58. Do you prefer to be friends with girls or boys?
It depends on the person. I have both girls and guys who I am very close to and relate to. In general, I have more girlfriends, but I am no less comfortable being with girls than I am with guys. Unless the topic of sports comes up, and then I'm lost...

59. Has anyone of your friends ever seen you cry?
I think probably all of them have at some point or another. Sigh.

60. Do you hate anyone?
I don't think so. I feel very sad for some people, and I get very annoyed or dislike some people for various reasons, but I find it difficult to say I hate anyone.

61. How’s your heart?
Full.

62. Is there something that happened in your past that you hate talking about?
Yes, my school social experience from the ages of 11-14.

63. Have you ever cried over a guy?
Yes.

64. Who is probably talking a load of crap about you right now?
No one, I hope! LOL. I feel like I am kind of too old for that at this point.

65. Are your toenails painted pink?
No, red. I think it's been a LOT of years since I've painted any of my nails pink.

66. Will your next kiss be a mistake?
I don't think so! I usually kiss my husband goodbye in the morning, and I never regret that.

67. Girls love it when boyfriends cry; correct?
This is KIND of true. I was sort of happy one of the times my ex boyfriend cried, but mostly because I felt like he was very closed off emotionally, and it was one of the few times I felt like he reacted emotionally to something that happened (it was a dumb argument between us that we quickly resolved.) However, if my husband cried, it would (and has) made me very, very sad, because it means that he is hurting a lot, and it really hurts me to see him hurting. I think the theory is that we as women like to know that our boyfriends/men actually do have feelings, but I think it's wrong to be happy at someone's sadness.

68. Have your pants ever fallen down in public?
I don't think so - but I'm pretty sure I've been de-pantsed before.

69. Who was the last person you were on the phone with?
My mom.

70. How do you look right now?
Sloppy and tired. Mostly tired.

71. Do you have someone you can be your complete self around?
Yes. I feel like I can be myself around my family and my closest friends.

72. Can you commit to one person?
Yes. Marriage is a lot of work, but you make a decision to be with that person and staying with them and letting them be your rock and everything for you is one of the most rewarding things you can ever do. Indecision caused me a lot of problems in my early dating life, though...

73. Do you have someone of the opposite sex you can tell everything to?
Yes.

74. Have you ever felt replaced?
Yes.

75. Did you wake up cranky?
Ha, I usually do! I am not a morning person. I usually don't perk up until my first cup of coffee.

76. Are you a jealous person?
Not at all.

77. Are relationships ever worth it?
Absolutely.

78. Anyone you’re giving up on?
No.

79. Currently wanting to see anyone?
Yes.

80. Name something you have to do tomorrow?
Go to work. I have to go to the office in the morning and the gym later in the day. Exciting life!

81. Last person you cried in front of?
My husband.

82. Is there someone you will never forget?
There's a lot of people I won't ever forget. I haven't had a crazy dating life, so almost all of my past relationships were significant to me in one way or another and affected who I am today.

83. Do you think the person you have feelings for is protective of you?
Absolutely.

84. If the person you wish to be with were with you, what would you be doing right now?
What I should be doing is sleeping next to him, heh.

85. Are you over your past?
I like to think so. I try to not focus so much on what is done and look at where I am at now.

86. Have you ever liked one of your best friends of the opposite sex?
Yes.

87. Is there anyone you can tell EVERYTHING to?
Yes.

88. If your first true love knocked on your door with apology and presents, would you accept?
No, I don't think so, since I'm pretty happy where I'm at!

89. So, the last person you kissed just happens to arrive at your door at 3AM; do you let them in?
Not barring the fact that he is already in my house, let's just say that I could never see Wesley showing up at 3 AM even if we WERE still dating. But if we were, I'd let him in.

90. Have you ever liked someone who your friends hated?
Well, my parents certainly were not fans of my ex-boyfriend based on the way he looked, but on the other hand, they never met him, either.

91. Will you be in a relationship in 2 months?
I sure hope so!

92. Is there anyone you know with the name Michael?
Yes, I know a lot of people named Michael, LOL.

93. Have you ever kissed a Matthew?
Not that I can remember.

94. Were you in a relationship in January? How was it going?
Yes, it was going great...

95. Were you happy with the person you liked in March?
YES!

96. Don’t tell me lies, is the last person you texted attractive?
It was my husband, OMG, this is getting really repetitive, but yes.

97. Who do you have texts from?
My close friends and family. Who else would you get texts from??

98. If the person you like says they like someone else, what would you say?
Depends on how they "liked" them. For instance, if that person is on their "Celebrity List" then that's OK, but if my husband decided to tell me he was attracted to someone else in a real way, well, I have to say, I'd probably be rendered speechless. I'm not sure what I would say.

99. Have you ever kissed someone older than you?
Yes. Probably the oldest would be 5 years, I think? I dunno.

100. Who’s in your profile picture with you?
My son is my profile pic on Facebook.

101. Ever kissed under fireworks?
I think I kissed my husband during fireworks...

102. Has anybody ever given you butterflies?
Yes. It's kind of been a while since I've gotten that crazy stomach butterfly feeling, but it still happens every now and then.
