Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution
This is a get to know me post. While I won't get too personal, but I want to share some information about myself, so that it's easier to decide how we'll mesh as friends. I'll do my best to keep this updated, since I seem to change my mind a lot.
ABOUT ME:
Your name- Rachael
Age - 18
Height - 5’5
Natural hair color - Dark brown
Eye color - Dark brown
Number of siblings - None, unless you want to count the three dogs, who are my parents' second children.
Glasses/contacts - Actually, I need to make an appointment to get my eyes checked very soon. Recently I've noticed that things are getting blurry, and since bad eyesight runs in my family, it's only a matter of time before I need glasses. I want some thick, black, rectangular ones if I do need them.
Piercings - None yet. First order of business is to have my ears done regularly. I also want an industrial bar in my right ear and my lip.
Tattoos - Also not yet. I know exactly what I want, but I haven't decided where to get it put and I haven't found a good place to have it done, either.
Braces - Nope, and I never had them. I like the gap in my front teeth, thank you very much.
FAVORITE:
Color - Royal/Emerald Green
Band - Of all time: The Doors
Currently: Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Rose Hills Drive, and The Honorary Title, to be brief
Song - Of all time: "Soul Kitchen" by The Doors.
Right Now: "The Way I Feel Inside" by The Zombies or "Crawl" by Kings of Leon.
TV show - Of all time: Doctor Who
Right Now: House
Movie - Ordinary People, Clue, and The Prestige.
Book - The Stranger, Harry Potter, The Count of Monte Cristo
Food - Steak, medium rare, or authentic Italian pasta
Flower - Lilies and orchids
Animal - Dogs, of course. Men aren't too bad either.
Cereal - Captain Crunch, with the berries
Website - Livejournal, Hello Quizzy, and plurk
DO YOU:
Play an instrument? I tired to play the flute for a month before finding out that I have no musical talent whatsoever. Bass guitar is rather appealing, however.
Watch TV more than 60 hours a week? Since starting at college, I rarely turn on the tv. Before that, I'm sure I did, because I would normally just leave the tv on constantly.
Have a cell phone? Yes, a super hot LG Shine
Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? No, and I'm happy for now. It leaves me free to have fun.
Have a crush on someone? Unless one counts all the men on Lei's and mine list of celebrities who would be great in bed, or my list of fictional men who ruined my shot at marriage, then no.
Have any special talents/skills? I know all the words to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Like school? Not so much. Classes are a pain in the ass, but I do enjoy meeting people.
Speak any other languages? Latin, sort of and I'm starting Italian very soon.
Stay up for more than 24 hours? Not lately. My brain hates me if I don't get enough sleep.
Read music, not just tabs? Not a chance.
Roll your tongue? No! I wish I could, but the talent eludes me.
HAVE YOU EVER:
Snuck out of the house? Once or twice, but I don't have to worry about that any more.
Cried to get out of trouble? Surprisingly, no. I'm just good at avoiding getting caught.
Gotten lost in your city? I'm the queen of directions. I don't get lost.
Been to any other countries besides the United states? Not yet, but that's changing in the near future.
Broken a bone? Yes. I've broken my right leg three times.
Gotten stitches? After I shattered a window.
Had a serious surgery? No, thankfully. I don't much like doctors, unless it's House.
Solved a rubiks cube? I've no patience for one of those damn things.
Gone out in public in your pajamas? No, unless the front yard counts. I hate wearing pjs in public, it makes me feel like a scrub.
Cried over a boy? Aye. I still cry over him, sometimes.
Been arrested? I've gotten close a couple times, but I evaded it.
Done drugs? Yes
Had alcohol? Yes
Laughed and had milk come out of your nose? No
Pushed all the buttons on an elevator? No because I like to get out of elevators as quickly as possible.
Swore at your parents? Once or twice, but not too often.
Been to the Warped Tour? Yes, twice, and it's ridiculously fun.
Been to a casino? No, and I'd rather not, because I'd probably end up wasting all of my money.
Been to Disneyland/Disneyworld? Yes! My grandpa got me in free when I was little.
Been to Niagra falls? Can't say that I have
Burped in someones face? I try to avoid it, but I'm sure it's happened at some point.
Gotten the chicken pox? Oh yeah, in third grade. It was terrible.
WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU:
Brushed your teeth - This morning.
Read a book - Yesterday I worked on PoA some more.
Had a party - I went to a football on Sunday night.
Made fun of someone - Some time not too long ago. I'm sure I was making fun of myself, too.
Tripped in front of someone - Yesterday walking back from class, but I mustered enough grace to not fall flat on my face.
Got sick - It's been too long, actually. I'm waiting for it to creep up on me again.
FRIENDSHIP/LOVE:
Do you have a best friend? I did, but we've grown apart a bit over the last year.
Have you ever liked one of your friends? Indeed, and the feeling is still sort of there, but it's rather dull.
Do you have more guy friends or more girl friends? Girls, somehow.
Have you ever gotten in a big argument with a friend? Oh yes, but it's been a while since the last one.
Whats the nicest thing you've ever done for a friend? I have no idea, you'd have to ask them.
How often do you spend time with your friends? A few nights a week with the ones here at school. Rarely with those who go school elsewhere.
Do you believe there is someone for everyone? That's difficult to say, because I don't believe it soulmates, but I think the odds of finding a match are high, because there are so many people in the world.
What is your idea of the best date? Something unconventional, like playing in mud puddles or something and lots of talking. I'm not one for sappy romance.
What was your first kiss like? A bit sloppy at first, but pretty intense.
How old were you when you got your first kiss? 15
Do you think love is a load of shit? Again, my answer is complicated. I think you'll understand if you've been in love before.
SILLY STUFF:
What time is it now? 10:51 am
What is your favorite genre of music? To be broad, rock. Indie, heavy, classic, blues, alternative, and I could go on and on.
How many posters do you have in your room? Just one because I haven't gotten around to putting up more. It's of Christian Bale (one of the loves of my life) as Batman.
How many cds do you have? I don't actually own many cds. Maybe 200? I have over 8000 songs in iTunes, though.
Whens the last time you called someone? Sunday (I don't talk on the phone much).
What kind of computer do you have? An HP laptop
How much money do you have right now? Some, but I'm saving it.
Are you hungry? Not yet, but I want to eat lunch soon.
Isn’t cup a funny word when you repeat it over and over? Maybe if you're stoned.
If you could have any magical power what would it be? Does being a Timelod like the Doctor count as a magical power, because that's what I want?
Did you ever have one of those skip-its when you were young? No because I was (and still am) coordinatedly challenged.
Are you wearing any socks right now? Green and gold argyle ones. Be jealous.
WOULD YOU EVER:
Sky dive? No because I'm terrified of heights.
Play strip poker? Depends on who else was playing.
Curse at a teacher? Yes, I already have. I've found most don't care.
Ask someone out? Unless I was really certain of the answer, probably not.
Lie to someone to make them think better of you? I do my best to avoid that, but it happens.
Visit a foreign country for more than a month? Hell yes. I'm already planning a study abroad trip.
Go scuba diving? I'd like to, but I'd have to learn to swim first.
Write a book? It's doubtful, because I hate writing.
Become a rockstar? Fuck yes. I know it's not as glamorous as it looks, but I don't care.
