In which I actually try a meme...
Is the person you last texted single?
Probably. All my friends are.
Do you get jealous easily?
Again, Probably. But no specific instances come to mind.
What are you currently waiting for?
Life to happen. Only I know that it doesn’t, so I suppose I’m waiting for myself to get off my ass and make it happen.
Do you think more about the past, present, or future?
I’m a historian, so the Past, and I’m young, so I think a lot about the future, so I spend a lot of time thinking about the present, trying to figure out how I’m going to get to the future where I can spend all my time in the past.
…If that makes sense.
Is there anybody you wish you could be spending time with right now?
Honestly, not really. I love my friends, but a lot of the time I go to bed and tell myself: Tomorrow, I’m going to have me time. Productive, quiet, book reading, writing, homework and housework doing, me time, entirely on my own. And then I end up hanging out with friends who call me or I just sort of fall in with. And while I love them, sometimes I come out of it feeling a bit bitter that I’ve wasted so much time. And then I feel like a terrible, terrible person.
Is anything wrong with your eyes?
Y’all know how 20/20 is normal? 1200/1200. And they’ve gotten a bit better.
Who were the last people you saw besides aside from family?
A bunch of random people at the Safety Prevention fair that has taken over my local library this Saturday. I learned about Earthquakes, because Alaska has 11% of the World’s Earthquakes and 6/10 of the top ten strongest. And then I got turned down for giving blood. Fun day.
Do you have nice eyes?
Apart from being horribly nearsighted? I guess. I’ve been told they’re a little small…and that glasses didn’t help them, so I wear contacts now.
Have you ever received a love letter more than a page long?
No.
If something was wrong, who is the first girl you would go to?
Depends. Am I being hunted by the Japanese Mafia or am I having an emotional crisis because my goldfish died?
Not that that’s likely to happen of course. I don’t have a goldfish.
Who's thinking about you right now?
No idea. Probably no one, or that waiter I swear was either hitting on me, or trying REALLY hard for a good tip today at Red Robin.
Is this year the best year of your life?
Actually, yes.
How do you feel about Diet Dr Pepper?
I used to have SUCH an addiction to it, actually. My house in Nevada was next door to a small insurance company, and I knew the guy who ran it…(funny story, thought he was the janitor), anyway, I used to hang out there at the Coy pond all the time, and there was a vending machine for the employees. I wasn’t allowed sugar as a child, and when I discovered Diet Doctor Pepper…I started scrounging up money like a crack addict jonesing for the next hit. Piggy Bank, Mom’s purse change…
I eventually gave up when I almost got caught by a fat secretary smoking a cigarette, and mom started cursing about all the half hidden Diet Dr. Pepper cans scattered around the yard.
Think back to the last person you kissed, how many times have you cried in front of them?.
Uh…I don’t remember kisses. Honestly, I don’t remember my first kiss…I’ve kissed a lot of people, usually pretty casually, and then I forget about it.
Oh…I see now! THIS is why my friendships turn weird!
Do you go to the tanning bed on a regular basis?
No. Tried it a half a dozen times because mom wanted us to counteract the Alaskan Vitamin D deficiency, and it gave me a rash.
Yes. I am THAT white.
Does your bedroom need cleaning?
Yes, but only because the only entrance to our attic is through a trap door in my room, and they insulated it this week. So it’s full of dust and foam, and other unidentifiable crud. I haven’t slept in it all week.
Flowers or chocolate?
Depends. Am I feeling fat today? Because if so I need the chocolate to make me feel better.
Sushi of choice?
Sushi is delicious. And must be eaten properly. And NEVER be frozen. And the best, most delicate flavor of sushi is Hamachi, or Yellowtail Tuna.
Would you rather take a relationship really slow or really fast?
No clue. Ask me if I ever get a relationship.
Do you ever hang out with someone of the opposite sex?
I am one of those girls with the personality type that other girls hate. So 95% of my friends, aside from my hetero life partner, are men.
Are you comfortable with your height?
Yes. I’m actually a little disappointed I didn’t quite make 6 feet.
Do you act differently around the person you like?.
Awkward, usually. But I act like 5 different people around different social groups and friends.
Do you think anyone has feelings for you?
Yes. It’s awkward.
Is there one person in your life that can always make you smile?
Good Authors, Good Comedians, and my Best Friend. …Sometimes.
Do you like thunderstorms?
Well, I’m a woman and therefore statistically less likely to be hit by thunder…so yeah. Sure. I like them.
Do you think teenagers can be in love?
Hm. I’m going to say…It’s possible, but I kind of doubt it. Maturity and goals and hormones and experience and all kinds of things are factors, and so I’m going to say that Teenage Love is sometimes real, but different from Adult Love.
Plus, most people that marry their high school sweethearts turn out to be absolutely miserable for the rest of their lives.
But again. I’m not disputing the occasional cases where it works out.
How fast does your mood change?
I’m not sure. Ask my friends.
Are there things that can't be joked about with you?
Not Really. Hey, did you hear the one about the Black Necrophiliac Jewish Guy that walked into the NAMBLA convention with Michael Jackson?
What do you always take with you?
In my four jeans pockets, Cell phone, Keys, Wallet, iTouch. Occasionally a purse if I’m feeling girly and like I won’t be scatterbrained to leave it behind. I’ve lost a lot of stuff. Expensive stuff.
When is your birthday?
3/3/_3
Where is the weirdest place you have slept?
Uh…Probably in a tent in the back of a flatbed '68 pickup on top of a mountain in Area 51.
But then again I don’t know. I’ve done a lot of stuff.
Anything on your walls?
Not much, because my family got a Swedish master painter to do our house, but I was allowed to hang a couple of my Egyptian Replica Papryi.
What do you bite more, your tongue, lip, or cheek?
I’m not sure, but I’m going to say my cheeks. I have more of an oral fixation mixed with a bit of pica. My friends are always trying to get me to stop eating things I shouldn’t.
Has a boy/girl called you babe/baby before?
In jest, yeah. When they’re not they usually get their asses kicked.
If so, do you like it?
I don’t mind. I’ve just got a bit of a reputation as a crazy bitch to uphold among the guys.
Is there something that you want to tell someone but can’t?
If there was, would I say it? And No. I don’t think so.
Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months or more?
No clue. I can be fickle, and I tend to scare people off.
Do you crack your knuckles?
Not much.
Do you feel comfortable getting up and giving speeches?
Yes. I am I drama queen, and an attention whore.
That’s right. I’m a Drama Whore. …or Queen Whore. Which sounds better?

Sure. Why not?
Does anyone know your passwords besides you?
Hm…My BFF might. I don’t think so though.
Have you ever kissed someone under fireworks?
Nope.
What is the last non-alcoholic beverage you had?
Root Beer. Though the previously mentioned flirting waiter was trying to get me to buy a margarita. I guess I look mature today.
I bet you miss somebody right now…
Not really. I want alone time right now.
Do you get high a lot?
No. And if I did, why the HELL would I put it online?!
Do you have a box where you keep all your important things?
Actually, yes. It’s mostly full of souvenirs from trips I half-forgot I took.
Can you count past 100?
Yes. Can the person who wrote this stupid meme?
Would you ever date anyone of whom your parents disapproved?
Probably.
Who introduced you to your boyfriend or girlfriend (or ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend)?
Uh…no one. I don’t have a problem introducing myself.
If you were abandoned in the wilderness, would you survive?
I’m a well trained, Alaskan Girl who knows the area, how to shoot, how not to piss off a bear or moose, cold water survival, and basic survival techniques.
Probably not.
Are you afraid of shots?
After 5 years of allergy shots, one in each arm, twice a week. No. I don’t even care anymore. The itching afterwards was far worse.
Is there someone you can tell anything to?
Supposedly. But I wouldn’t.
At this moment in time if you HAD to have someone’s name tattooed on you whose would it be?
I HAD to? Who’s making me?! IDFK. Uh…Tattoos of someone’s name are the most regretted tattoos! (Tries to avoid question with useless trivia).
Probably my BFF. But her name is WAY too long, so just her nickname.
Most memorable thing that’s happened to you over the summer?
Trip to London. I’m in love.

No. And I wouldn’t believe them if they did.
Do your best friends’ parents tend to like you?
I guess. My self-esteem issues always scream otherwise, but I think so.

Stargate SG-1 through season 8, X-files, Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who Old & New, Torchwood, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes Season 1, Dexter, Hellsing, Death Note, Bleach, Ouran High School Host Club, House, Supernatural, The Daily Show/The Colbert Report, Life on Mars, Firefly, Star Trek, Red Dwarf, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Phineas & Ferb, and United States of Tara, to name a few.

A couple of the guys by an inch or two.
Name the bands you have bands you have tees for.
None. My money goes into books and dvds.
Do you prefer the ocean or pool?
Pool for swimming, just because I love doing laps. But again, Alaskan. I’m used to living with the Mountains and the Ocean. It’s ridiculously freeing.
Ever really cried your heart out?
Probably. I cry hard, but get over it in about 10 minutes.
Are you the same person as you were at the beginning of 2010?
How on earth would I be able to tell?
Do you make good grades?
I’m lazy. But I never get below B’s.
Is there a difference between love and IN love?
Yes. A Preposition.
Have you ever been on a motorcycle?
Yes. I was about 10, and when we went around steep curves my knowledge of physics went out the window, and I freaked out and leaned out of the turn. Almost killed us.
Good times.
Does it bother you when someone says they will call you and they don’t?
Yes. Self-Esteem issues, remember?
What is the main ringtone on your cell?
Mozart. Because even though I find his music to have far less soul than that of the romantic composers, it’s still far better than the rest of the techno garbage that came preinstalled on my phone.
Do you speak any other language other than English?
Fragments, and three years of high school French.

What’s worse: liars or cheaters?
Cheaters.
Have you ever broken someone’s heart?

Both. Mom gave me poor circulation, which is just wonderful for a writer.

Lilies or Orchids.

A book ever made you cry?
Yes. The one that most comes to mind is Pendragon Book Ten. When Mark died, I bawled and cursed for a good half an hour. Mom tried to take it away from me and insinuate I was crying about dad dying six months earlier.
…Then two paragraphs later it turns out he wasn’t actually dead.
Fuck You, D.J. Machale, you wonderful, evil man.

The world’s always crumbling to pieces. I’m sure that if we ever do actually destroy it, we can at least foist it onto our great-great-grandchildren and escape by being dead.

Normal, but a bit messy. I’m a lefty.
Will you be in a relationship next month?

Your phone rings, what do you say?
“Hello”, “What Up, Whore” for my Best Friend, or I forgo introductions entirely and simply jump into a conversation.

***
Well…
That was useless and made me sound like a bad person. I’m going to go back to ignoring memes.
