80 Questions Meme
1. What curse word do you use the most?
Online, it would be "what the fuck/hell?!" and IRL some random, situation-fitting Finnish swear word.

Yep. It's at least 5 years old though, so nothing too flashy, just 2G too.

4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
8.50am *time now 2:46* ...oops?
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Uhh... the VERY first person I ever kissed would probably be my mom. But in the romantic way, yeah, I do remember the guy from first grade.
6. Do you remember where you were on 11/9/01?

Take.

10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Erm, I think if I HADN'T been called that every now and then it would be a miracle. "Lazy bum =P " I hear a lot from a certain someone.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
Yes, for a headache. Not otherwise *thinks she might need some other help soon though*
12. What CD is currently in your CD player?
Poets of the Fall - Twilight Theater. I happened to check it six hours ago, not listen, after about a month of not using the player.
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
Can't drink milk...
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... yes and no? It really wasn't a secret, only something that had to be kept out of someone's ears...
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
Nevah. I think Kitten would have wanted to go there in London if my memory doesn't fail me, if we had noticed it sooner. There were LOADS of Starbucks places in Paris... It felt weird, there are none here where I live.
16. Can you whistle?
Not really. I could when I was little, and nowadays it's dumb luck if I manage to make a whistling sound.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex -- people you find attractive?
Their face, especially eyes.
18. What are you looking forward to?
Graduating. Can't wait to get to have my entrance exams for Uni... *double meaning here*
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Oh yes, that's pretty much all I watched. Still do if anime counts.
20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
Yes. One shirt each: KoRn, Versailles ~philharmonic quintet~ and YFC. Not more, I think...
21. What will you be doing in one hour?
Sleep would be appreciated, but with the slow pace LJ allows me to write this stuff in I'm either still doing this or just still online or readying myself for bed.
22. Is anyone in love with you?
Not that I know of... I think the one guy I knew of gave up during last year's summer.
23. What was the last song you heard?
Gackt - Koakuma Heaven (RRII tour version)
24. Last time you cried?
Today (yesterday, clock-wise), thanks to Amaia's latest post about Japan's dog boom.
25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop?
HP laptop.
26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
No. No piercings or tattoos for me, as I just happened to talk about this with Noa a couple of days ago...
27. What's the weather like?
Cold and some days a bit rainy. Creates black ice, argh.
28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos?
Probably not if they were COMPLETELY covered in tattoos, but if we're talking like Ju-ken covered in tattoos, hell yeah. That is, if the person in question would be datable otherwise, and the tattoos wouldn't be offensive or just plain ugly.
29. What did you do before this?
Uhh... spent about an hour trying to find a post of amaiakuyume's and not succeeding, so I tumbled upon this and decided "hey, I'll do that too!"
30. When is the last time you slept on the floor?
Years ago I think... not too sure when. But I'm sure I was staying over at someone else's place.
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
9, but that requires that I've been sleeping 9 hours a night at least for a week before I start feeling refreshed in the mornings. Of course sometimes I get to sleep just a few hours and I'm fine. Came to mind the day on 9th grade when we had a book author project hand-in, I slept about an hour that morning because I was finishing up the folder and its contents for the entire night and I felt totally fine at school, even better than I usually feel after a good night's sleep.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
I've started skipping that for some reason... I mean, on the days when I actually wake up around breakfast time. If I wake up in the afternoon I might eat a cookie and have a drink and then wait for hours for real hunger before eating a warm meal.
33. Are your days fast-paced?
Not really...
34. What did you do last night?
Umm, did stuff online? I went to bed at 7am.
35. Do you use sarcasm?
Oh yeah.
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
20, in July next year. Saying HI GUYS, I'M ONE FIFTH OF A CENTURY OLD! really would make me sound old (and odd), right?
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
While writing anything else than instant/private/text messages/emails to friends, Y-E-S.
38. Have you ever been to Six Flags?
Umm... I guess we're talking something American here? (So no.)
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
Same sex. There have been some easygoing guys I've met and could relax around and chat with, but usually it's girls I get along best.
40. Do you like mustard?
Yeah. Doesn't mean I eat it even on a regular basis like once a month. Once every four months might be more correct though... but not really. I eat it when I feel like it and that is... well, not so often.
41. Do you sleep on your side?
Yes, I really can't fall asleep in any other position anymore.
42. Do you watch the news?
There are periods when I watch them every night, and then long periods when I just abandon them. Now it's an abandonment going on.
43. How did you get one of your scars?
Grew too fast for my skin to keep up; have lots of scars in many places. Was a BIT disturbing for a 12- or 13-year-old to be told by her mother that usually those scars are called pregnancy scars (in Finnish at least, no idea about other languages).
44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
Mom, the day before yesterday.
45. Do you like anybody?
I like many people. I don't have a crush on anyone at the moment though.
46. What is the last thing you purchased?
Groceries.
47. What side of the heart do you draw first?
Left.
48. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
I've NEVER plugged my nose. I don't really get WHY people have to do that... (Well, Einstein, one thing would be to prevent water from getting into their noses.)
49. What colour is your razor?
Uuuh it's a lady-shave. It's light blue and clear turquoise. I need a new one though...
50. What is your blood-type?
A+
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Umm, I'm not sure I'd want to be tied to anyone for 24 hours... I have my reasons which I'm not going to write in a public post. But if I need to choose: purpl_kitten when she's not at home/with her family *thinks back to London and sighs dreamily* alone time with Kitten, ufufufu~
(People please, don't think that the perverted way. Kitten is my best friend, has been for almost five years now, and I've only met her twice in person.)
52. What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
Uuh... can't think of anything else other than this: I was an 8th grader and once a 7th grader idiot guy saw me putting on lip balm. I curved my lips as I spread it and then pressed my lips together to spread it out evenly when I was done, you know, the normal lady-like move, and this guy stares and gapes at me from the other side of the corridor (two meters from me) and then shouts out DID YOU JUST FUCKING EAT IT?!?! HEY GUYS, THAT GIRL JUST ATE LIP BALM!!!!!!! FUCKING LIP BALM!!!!! So I became "Lip Balm" for about a year until I seriously got fed up with him since he kept calling me that even during summer break (have no idea what he was doing on the sports track, lazing around on the high jump bed) and after we became 9th and 8th graders. I had the principal talk some fucking sense into him since he didn't believe me or my classmates to STOP IT and LEAVE ME ALONE. (Idiocy is contagious.)
53. How do you feel about carrots?
Cooked baby carrots = *OMNOMNOM* but otherwise I really don't particularly like them... I'll eat them, I don't dislike them that much.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Erm, I have exactly one chair in the entire apartment... and two stools, a rahi, a three-seated couch (fits more people than that) and a bed. *currently sitting on the bed*
55. Which is the best Spice Girl?
Uuh I really liked all of them, not just one in particular. Ok so I didn't really like Posh Spice that much, and Scary Spice was scary from time to time; Baby Spice was always cute, and Ginger Spice and Sporty Spice usually had my attention, Geri with her sluttish feminine outfits and Melanie for her solos and sporty stuff. Note: I was 7 when Geri left, and all I've HEARD from them have been the three concerts that were broadcast on TV and which mom recorded for me and which I watched over and over again...
56. Do you know what time it is?
4:06am. I knew it'd take me at least an hour to finish this...
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?
...what is that? *blinks*
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Uhh, I'd try to contact someone who could get me out of there? Isn't that the most logical thing to do?
59. What's your favorite kind of gum?
Ummmmmmm... fruit, probably. I'm not that fond of gum.
60. T or F: All's fair in love and war?
F. I don't think "fair" really even exists. Ok so we might be able to make small things fair, like divide up the candies evenly to all participants and stuff like that, but other than those things nothing's fair in this world.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Din't I say this already? No. I do daydream of Ju-ken though, just for fun. (And how badly would I wish to die if he ever were to read that line.)
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Uh, I guess we're talking English here? No. It can be vice versa sometimes though.
63. Do you like to sleep?
YESSSSSSSSSSS. Probably because it's so hard to do, falling asleep and staying asleep.
64. Do you know which US states don't use Daylight Savings Time?
Uhh, no clue... I wasn't even sure if they used DST in the US at all, so...
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
...wut?
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
I've got no driver's lisence and I'm not sure I'll ever get one, and yellow really isn't my colour anyway.
67. What's something you've always wanted?
Money? Other than that the things I want / have wanted have changed.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
Yes, thanks for asking. Now why did you caps lock legs?
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Can I choose a pool? I've grown up swimming in lakes and the local swimming hall, but the last time I swam was in the ocean and the waves were pretty big and I really didn't know how to keep my head above the surface so it wasn't that pleasant. That was years ago too btw, I don't like wearing a swimming suit anymore, the LEAST in public. (God I would have died in the YFC finale just because of this.)
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Lots and lots and lots. I'm trying to get some other colours into my wardrobe though...
71. Describe your hair:
Dyed red so depending on the light it goes from dark red (almost brown) to really bright (a bit lighter than fresh blood) (why did I make that comparance?) and everything in between. It's long, the longest strands at the back almost reach the narrowest part of my waist.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
*looks up the explanation* Wasps: I run away screaming. Any kind of spiders: I feel a surge of nausea and I might get a bit hysterical before the spider has been killed and taken somewhere else. Cockroaches: never met any and DO NOT WANT TO, EITHER. Other bugs: the bigger the more I'll be likely to react like with wasps or spiders, but worms and butterflies and ants and small bugs I'm completely fine with. Do mosquitos count as bugs? My reaction: KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!! DDDDDDDDDD8<
73. Are you an adult?
Umm, a young adult? I've acted more like an adult than some certain person who is 10 years older than me every now and then since I was 14 years old though. (Now we're acting just as equally bratty.) Out of my usual RL "gang" I consider myself the most adult-like...
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
PERMANENTLY IN SWEDEN, of all the places goddamnit! DDDDD:
75. Do you have a tan?
*ROFLMAO* I had a month of outside work this summer, it was an athlete school for kids and I got to teach kids aged 5-9 and 10-14. During the first three days I burned skin, burned some more skin and burned even more skin. Toward the end of the month we had pole vaulting pracs with the older kids. During one of the breaks, as we were talking about tans and such, I just started comparing the skin on my arms to the others' arms. There were about 15-20 people there and everyone got a good laugh when I exasperatedly cried out "WHY DO YOU ALL HAVE A DARKER TAN THAN ME?!" One of the guys then, still chuckling at me, came to me and asked if I really just do not get a tan. To prove him wrong and to prove that I DID have a tan I took off my watch and showed him the clear suntan lines and the even paler skin where my watch had just been. I still have that watch line on my wrist btw, so I guess I do have a tan XD (a very, very, VERY light one)
76. Are you a television addict?
In a way I guess I am, I want to see Grey's Anatomy and some other TV shows and mom records them for me *doesn't have a TV herself nor does she own a TV stick to attach to the lappy* and I also watch some more shows that I can watch online after the TV broadcast. Plus anime and youtube and other videos included in the j-rock fandom, you know, the necessities?
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
NO, NO AND NO. It's a miracle that I can SOMETIMES find our getting along with each other almost normal.
78. Are you a sugar freak?
...a freak is a bit much you know... but I do like sweet stuff.
79. Do you like orange juice?
When I was younger I drank it a lot, now I drink it at other people's places if they only have that, water and alcohol to choose from.
80. What sign are you?
Cancer / Metal... Lamb/Sheep/Goat, it seems to have f-ing many translations in English and I don't know which of them is the officially correct one. In Finnish it's called a goat though.
Thank you to amaiakuyume for doing this meme and leaving it open to public for me to find it now.
The time is 5:00am so I'll read this through and then head to bed.
...read through and edited, now the time is 5:48am and I'm hungry. Gonna snack something and then head to bed, as I can't fall asleep if I feel hungry as I soon start feeling nauseous.
