eponymous_roseSo, yes, another meme. Because it's Sunday and I've got nothing planned apart from buying shoes, practicing piano/violin, and actually buying food so I don't starve before Wednesday!
I stole this one from Elina! *beams proudly*
I stole this one from Elina! *beams proudly*
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
The actual act of paying the bills doesn't bother me - makes me feel all grown-up. The loss of money for, say, tuition? Not so fun.
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Don't think I've ever really had one. But then, my first date involved an awkward attempt at coffee followed by a hike through near-deserted woods and a debate about zombies.
3. Last time you puked from drinking?
Haven't done, don't plan to. I don't think I've puked for about ten years. *marvels at what you can learn by memeing*
4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
Never been drunk. (Yes, I get teased for this. It's fun to confuse people! :D)
5. Name one of your first grade teachers?
She was... Mrs. Ferguson, and actually lived across the street from us. Before classes started, she came to visit (mostly, I think, because my parents were still considering a second year in kindergarten, having fudged the age requirement for me in the first place). I kept interrupting her talks with my parents - I wanted to show her every single book I'd ever read ever. One of the books was about how the human eye works - I think that's what let her recommend that I not repeat kindergarten. Heehee.
6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
In the grand scheme of things? Exactly what I'm doing now - having a great summer job with promises of an excellent school year to come, while keeping up a variety of hobbies and widening my circle of friends. Specifically? Watching the Who season finale. *sniffles* Saturday, please?
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Well, apart from the fact that I'm not a grown-up yet (and you can't make me! *sticks out tongue*), I wanted to be a bit of everything. When I was really little, a dancer or a singer. In elementary school, I wanted to be a police officer. In middle school, a teacher. In high school, a lawyer. Currently, I want to be a professor of meteorology, but I expect that to change a bit. :D
8. How many colleges did you attend?
Well, one university so far. I'm hoping to attend two - a different one for graduate studies.
9. Why did you wear the shirt that you have on right now?
Actually, I did have an ulterior motive - it's Sunday and I'm not really gonna be doing much, so I decided to wear a blue t-shirt that has prominently displayed tears on the shoulders from my cats. *wince*
10. GAS PRICES?
You should know better than to ask an environmentalist that question. *winks*
11. If you could move anywhere?
Probably somewhere with an amazing university. Cambridge? *grins hopefully*
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
Well, I woke up before the alarm because our adoptive cat was meowing. The thought? "Oh, I hope [my roommate] doesn't get pissed off again."
13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
"Wait, did I just hit a guy with my bike?"
14. Favorite style of underwear?
Um. Don't really have one.
15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
Believe it or not, haven't given it much thought.
16. What errand/chore do you despise?
Either all or none, depending on the day. I love grocery shopping, but hate carrying the groceries ten blocks to get them home. *winces*
17. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer at an art gallery?
Oh, sure! I love art and could look at it all day.
18. Get up early or sleep in?
Depends on the day! I have a tendency to sleep in, though, because I stay up late/early and still want my eight hours' sleep.
19. What is your favorite cartoon character(s)?
Donald Duck!
20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Gaming. *smirks* Either that, or debate philosophically when we're both so tired that our arguments are always flawed. Or watch TV.
21. A secret that you wouldn't mind everyone knowing?
Wouldn't be a secret, then, would it? How about... the fact that I used to collect Pokemon cards? *nodnod* Tragic, that.
22. When did you first start feeling old?
Kindergarten, when a friend asked me to play house with her and I refused and went to the corner and read a book. Basically, from the moment people started calling me "boring"/"no fun". *grins*
23. Favorite 80's movie?
*shrugs* I've got a fair amount.
24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Tofu!
25. What do you get every time you go into Sam's Club?
Never been!
26. Beach or lake?
Oh, lake please! I don't really like beaches - too crowded.
27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual that was invented?
I'm not gonna answer that question on the grounds that it was posed in an exceptionally moronic way. (I mean, invented? Well, duh.)
28. How many people do you stalk on Myspace?
Never used Myspace, alas.
29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Fanfiction!
30. Favorite movie you wouldn't want anyone to find out about?
If I don't want anyone to know about it, chances are it'll stay that way. There are a few movies that I don't bother telling certain people I've seen, to avoid a lot of annoying explanations.
31. What's your drink?
Cream soda that comes in a bottle and isn't pink.
32. Cowboys or Indians?
Indians. Never much of a cowboy person, me.
33. Cops or Robbers?
Cops!
34. Who from high school would you like to run into?
A guy I knew since kindergarten, but never really got to know. Funny and optimistic, if I recall correctly.
35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
No car. :(
36. Norm or Cliff?
Ooh, tough choice. Cliff, I think.
37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?
Simpsons, probably.
38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?
Don't really wish I could take back anything. Maybe a little more clarity would've helped.
39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
Well, that would be a wall. Behind me is an otherwise-nice guy who has the annoying habit of waving his arms expansively and talking in very small words while explaining simple concepts to me. Um. Yes, I'm an undergraduate, but considering the fact that I got this job/grant in the first place, I'm probably not a total idiot, thanks. Sort of diagonally from me is a girl I've become friends with, but she's got a heckuva pessimistic streak, which is a little tiring after a while. They're both great, though.
40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?
Wouldn't!
41. What famous person(s) would you like to have dinner with?
Oh, you know. Basically anyone. I like food. *grins*
42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?
Nobody, thanks!
43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
Nope, not yet. I figure it's only a matter of time, though, given my present string of action movie-like occurrences, so I've started reading the instructions on each one I pass. *grins*
44. Last book you read for real?
I haven't actually finished a book in a long, long time. *hangs head*
45. Do you have a teddy bear?
I have a koala (Katie the Koala, if you must know) and about a billion cats! Alas, they're all at my parents' place.
46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Don't really have any strange places. Japan, I guess.
47. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
Well, California, to start. Probably San Fran. *shakes fist at lucky parents for getting sent there for work*
48. Number of texts in a day?
None.
49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
Well, I'd rather not completely start over again with a new career while I'm still working on my first. I'm gonna say neither.
50. Do you go to church?
Nope, never have, excepting my grandparents' sunday school a couple of times.
51. Pencil or pen?
Pencil! I'm sort of obsessed with both, though. *hides drawer full of writing utensils*
52. What do you want to achieve in life?
D'you have an hour? *grin* Generally, I want to make things better for people. When I was twelve, I talked a friend down from suicide (it took three long hours and I still get nightmares). As it turns out, that feeling's more than a little addicting.
53. How old are you?
Nineteen!
54. Where do you see yourself when you are 40 ?
This question always sort of annoys me, because the best part of the whole thing is that I don't know. A substitute teacher asked us to write up a paragraph on the topic back in grade 12, so I wrote a thirty-page play. *grins evilly* It changes daily, we'll put it that way.
The actual act of paying the bills doesn't bother me - makes me feel all grown-up. The loss of money for, say, tuition? Not so fun.
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
