Real entry in a minute, I promise, but out of those horrid surveys, I actually found this one kind of interesting, and for those of you that just started reading my journal, you might want to read it. But for those of you who don't, I have
cut it.
>1. Full Name: Elysha Mei-Yin Zaide
>2. Were you named after anyone?: I was supposed to be named Elijah (after the Jewish prophet) if I was a boy, to make my dad's family happy, so my parents adapted that. The middle name I guess is because my mom is Malaysian Chinese and every Canadian person of Asian descent gets a middle name like that. It means "beautiful swallow".
>3. Do you wish on stars? Started when I was four, haven't stopped since. But these days I just wish for everything to stay as good as it is, rather than wishing for anything to change.
>4. Which finger is your favorite? my crooked right pinky. It's just kind of fun to fidde with the bone spur when I'm bored.
>5. When did you last cry? Last week, when the love of my life was upset and for the first time ever, turned his back to me and went to sleep on the other side of the bed.
>6. Do you like your handwriting? My printing is fairly generic. My cursive is terrible.
>7. What is your favorite lunch meat? Capicollo.. yum.
>8. Any bad habits? I have a gargantuan mouth, which specializes in spewing forth bits of information at the exact wrong moments.
>9. What is your most embarrassing CD that you own? I sold all my embarrassing ones! So I guess the only one left is the FernGully soundtrack. (Don't laugh, I know ALL the words to the "Batty Rap")
>10. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? I think so. I care a lot about my friends.
>11. Are you a daredevil? I'd say I'm about a 6.5 out of 10 on that scale. I removed my panties and passed them across the table to my boyfriend one packed night at the Commodore, with more than a few people noticing. But I think my weird shyness moments drop my score a bit.
>12. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell? I've accidentally let a few things slip out - see number 8.
>13. Do looks matter? They definitely enhance a great personality, but can't save a terrible one.
>14. Have you ever mis-used a word and it sounded absolutely stupid? Sometimes when I'm thinking of too many things at once I will mispronounce a very simple word. Boyfriend always makes sure to point it out and laugh (probably because I always pick on his spelling).
>15. Do you think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Yes, and leprechauns live under my bed.
>16. Do fish have feelings? Salmon sashimi feels really good in my mouth.
>18.How do you release anger? I cry, I stare into space, I stress, I write in my journal. I'm pretty good at just going and talking to people if I'm pissed off at them.
>19. Where is your second home? I'm always here, East Van baby.
>20. Do you trust others easily? too easily, I am far too naive for as much trauma as I've experienced.
>21. What was your favorite toy as a child? I built a dollhouse with my father when I was younger, it took us 2 years. We shingled the mini-roof, papered the mini-walls, carpeted the mini-floors. I loved that thing. It was three stories high.
>22. What class in school do you think is totally useless? My MIDI class. Probably because I'm so far ahead of my class, but do we really need to spend a two-hour class learning how to automate faders?
>23. Do you like sappy love songs? Yes, but they have to be jazz. OK, and I have a few pop weaknesses. See my choice of music, above.
>24. Have you ever been on radio or television: I guest starred on
Zed as in-house DJ and background composer for a week, have been in several documentaries on female DJs including a special episode of
21c on CTV, and spun on the MTV Canada video countdown. Also spun on lots of college radio and appeared in an independent film called "Briefcase".
>26. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Our household is rife with it.
>27. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? Try standing up front at the
Evilbase parties at
WMC! Sometimes I've gotten more injured than in the old days' moshpits.
>28. What music are you listening to right now? SAPPY SHIT.
>29. What are your nicknames? Illy (friends), Lysh (family), Peaches (boyfriend).
>30. Would you bungee jump? hell yeah.. are you paying?
>31. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Not usually, but they're always untied anyways.
>32. What are you worried about right now? What I'm going to do after I graduate. I don't even know. I don't think I want to work as an engineer, it's way too bloodthirsty.
>33. Do you ever wear overalls? I have one cute pair of dark denim overalls by Luscious. But it's way too cold out right now.
>34. Do you think that you are strong? My arms are pretty weak since my car accident, I can't even beat my brother in arm wrestling. Mentally, I seem like a headcase because I wear my emotions on the outside, but I'm more resilient than most people I know.
>35. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Breyers' Natural Vanilla.. mmm .. bean flecks.
>36. Whats your favorite Color? Scarlet, blazing, passionate red.
>37. What is your least fave thing in the world? Pathological liars. A dear friend of mind had the misfortune of recently finding out her boyfriend was one.. and it reminded me how incendiary these people are to me.
>38. Do you have a crush on anyone right now? yes, and I live with him, and gush at him every day. I'm trying to play harder to get.
>39. When was the last time you laughed? This morning, at the retarded kitten fights in the kitchen.
>40. How many people have a crush on YOU right now? According to SomeoneLikesYou.com, tons. Fuck off!!
>41. Who do you miss most right now? Probably Reid Speed. I'm dying to chill with my girl again, dammit dammit.
