(no subject)
Feels like it's been forever since I've done a survey meme. What the hay.
What is on your bed right now?
Boyfriend pillow, a monogrammed pillow sewn by my sister, two lumpy sleeping pillows that need to be replaced, teal sheets, a blanket crocheted by my grandma when I was in college, a superwarm but staticy microfiber blanket, my phone, a fleece zip up, earbuds, my pajamas from last night. All sort of jumbled up. I've been trying to be better about making my bed daily but didn't happen yet this morning.
When was the last time you threw up?
Hmmm, after some hangover sometime in the past few months. Maybe the day after Halloween? I don't throw up much.
Name 3 people who made you smile today.
Uh, myself. I went for a run-mostly-walk and felt good about it.
What were you doing at 8 am this morning?
Lying in bed reading Huffington Post and trying not to worry about all the people I'm fretting over (pregnant friend was having possible complications last night, roommate had surgery on Tuesday and his mom had a heart attack last night, boy I might be dating is being a boy I suppose ....)
What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Watching th 30 Rock eason finale. Perfection.
What is your favorite holiday?
The Fourth of July because FIREWORKS.
Have you ever been to another country?
Yes -- Canada, Mexico, Spain, technically England (Heathrow).
What is the last thing you said aloud?
"High fiving all the angels."
What is the best ice cream flavor?
I like to try fancy concoctions, but my absolutely favorite is well-made strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone.
What was the last thing you had to drink?
Coffee with soy milk. Moving on to water now.
What are you wearing right now?
Sports bra, hot pink cami, heather fuchsia v neck, black compression pants. Hair in a messy bun.
What was the last thing you ate?
Plain bagel with butter.
Have you bought any new clothing items this week?
Nope. Might go look for something to wear to a birthday gathering tonight.
When was the last time you ran?
This morning.
What’s the last sporting event you watched?
The Niners game a couple of Sundays ago.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
At this moment, the West Coast to see my parents and sister. In general, Europe.
Who is the last person you sent a comment/message on Facebook?
A friend with whom I had dinner last night. A highlight of our evening -- walking through Times Square and being told to enjoy our diabetes by the comedy show plebe we ignored.
Ever go camping?
All my life.
Do you have a tan?
I browned pretty decently this summer for the first time in a long time, but it's all gone. I'm a white girl's white girl.
Have you ever lost anything down a toilet?
Not that I can recall, thank goodness.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Ke$ha.
Do you use smiley faces on the computer a lot?
I'm too snarky not to use them. People already think I'm mean.
Do you drink your soda from a straw?
I prefer not to, but if it's from a can in NYC, I will. Rats, you know.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Depends a little on what I do tonight. If the birthday party goes long, I'll sleep in tomorrow, go for a run/walk if it doesn't snow, hopefully meet up to visit with a potentially new friend, and try to make it to a yoga class in the afternoon. If the birthday party gets ditched for a late night meetup with the aforementioned boy (as I'm hoping will happen ....) then I'll head home at some point and see what of the list gets done.
Look to your left, what do you see?
Pillows, my window with light alarm clock and a delicious brown sugar candle on the sill, the building across the street.
What color is your watch?
Silver.
What do you think of when you think of Australia?
Liz, a blogger whose Tumblr I follow.
Ever ridden on a roller coaster?
Of course! But the last night I did, I'd driven three hours to Magic Mountain with a RAGING hangover and no sleep so one turn on Viper made me ubersick, and I followed people around the park for the rest of the day. It was a fun and memorable trip but never again that combo.
What is your birthstone?
Sapphire.
Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru?
No car so go in. I don't like to order food from Seamless, very non-NYC of me.
Do you have a dog?
Not a dog person, very infrequent desire to own one. Maybe someday if there's a significant other to take care of it when I don't want to.
Last person you talked to on the phone?
My friend last night, she called to find out where I was in the restaurant.
Any plans today?
Already went for a run, ate, and watche 30 Rock. It's my week to clean the apartment so I'm going to do that, mail some stuff, tidy my room, take a shower, and probably wander down to shop. Depending on the shopping trip, I might do some laundry and watc West Wing. Then I'll get ready for the birthday thing, buy a bottle of wine on my way there, and head down to get my celebration on.
Are you happy?
Yes, I am. I am cautiously happy. I like my job and coworkers. I like my social life. I like my city. I am conscious of the current stresses of my roommate and dating situations, and I am doing all right with managing them in ways that are not overwhelming me or denying what's going on. I'm happy.
Where are you right now?
My room.
Biggest annoyance in your life right now?
Hands down, two of my roommates. For a multitude of reasons, but this week, the big one is that they both do not see any issues with singing and playing the guitar/ukulele in the living room at 130a. Because I am a grown-up, require consistent sleep, and actually consider other people's lives, I see a lot of issues with that.
Last song listened to?
"Let It Go: by Dragonette.
Last movie you saw?
Mama. The first scary movie I've seen in years. It wasn't that great of a movie.
Are you allergic to anything?
Technically, cats and dogs and grass and dust and pollen and living things. My body doesn't like a lot of dairy. Also, Codeine.
Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time?
Slippers.
Are you jealous of anyone?
The person I took this from kept the answer of the person she took it from, and I think it's perfect: "I recently learned the difference between jealousy and envy is that jealousy means you want to replace someone, envy means you want to be included. So I'm really not jealous of anyone, but I do get envious."
Time to get cracking.
What is on your bed right now?
