You don't need to read this
This is an incredibly long meme/survey that I have decided to do to keep me awake during class so I can half-listen about the significance of the stapler in A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It's better than falling asleep and not listening at all.
1. In one sentence, explain what ended your last relationship: Due to some rupture still unknown to me, he just... stopped caring.
2. What made you smile today? The fact that this skirt makes me look like a salsa dancer. Olé!
3. What were you doing this morning at 8a.m.? Willing myself to wake up to work on my Spanish presentation, but using the 5-minute snooze setting to assist me in remaining awake.
4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago? Updating about my weekend.
5. Something that happened to you in 1985? I was born after Christmas brunch.
6. Your prom night? We'll go with Senior prom. It was alright. Not really memorable, but not bad.
7. Last thing you said aloud? Some comment about how the act of close-reading is a closer simulation of the writer's pace, but it detracts from overall comprehension because it's so far away from the actual reading process.
8. Last thing someone else said aloud? "What about this sort of 'spilling of your guts'?" - Professor talking about the idea of confession in AHWOSG.
9. Worst thing currently on television: Dust.
10. What was in the mail today? I haven't checked yet. Probably a credit card offer because they love me.
11. How many different beverages have you drank today? Watered down raspberry lemonade (the dining hall makes it too strong) and a Naked Juice superfood green smoothie (SO good!).
12. What is your favorite part of the day? Uh... in general? Actually, I've been enjoying the feeling of satisfaction I get from waking up more than an hour before I have to go to class. It's nice to wake up and do something else first. I feel more accomplished. My other favorite part is definitely the crazy, fun conversations that Daniel and I have some evenings. When we forget everything else and can just laugh together - at each other.
13. Your current To-do list? Write company analysis for Econ22SI, go to In-House Draw for next year tonight, write 5-page Spanish research paper, call Vaden to make a health appointment for my Girl Scout job this summer. Then a couple more final projects and everything included under the category of "moving out."
14. Where is your best friend right now? Uh... most of my friends are in California or Arizona. I don't really have a single best friend.
15. What color is your toothbrush? White with pink.
16. What is out your back door? Let's assume you're referring to my parents' house and say some emu chicks.
17. Any plans for Friday night? None whatsoever. I guess I'll try to do homework, namely research for my French paper.
18. Least favorite place to shop? I don't really shop, but I guess... K-Mart. They're almost always filthy.
19. Last thing you bought? Naked Juice Superfood smoothie, but that's not interesting (not that any of this is) so... bagel crisps, sparkling apple cider, and raspberry preserves for a picnic in the hotel room. And a generic greeting card. :)
20. Last gift you received? seeing Daniel. :P Okay fine. Well, Daniel attempted to give me this weekend for our anniversary last month, but I ended up giving it to him. I credit him for the idea!
21. Funniest thing you heard all day? "Here is a drawing of a stapler." - AHWOSG
22. Favorite mug? I don't own a mug.
23. What color is your front door? Again, assuming parents' house - bright blue. As in Mexican front door blue.
