Take Me The Way I Am

Jesus Christ, my life is so BORING. Today was definitely one of my better days lately, though, because Jessica and I went to Freebird's when I got out of class (and tried to avoid the creepy dude who works there and defs has a crush on her, LOL) and then trucked through a couple of episodes of LOST at my house. So many people are obsessed with that show, but to be honest, I'm not terribly impressed so far. We've only seen four episodes, though, so we'll see. I told myself I was going to finish reading for Psychology of Religion today, but I've realized the reading isn't terribly pertinent to lecture. I don't need it to write my paper (which I'm doing tomorrow, really!) so maybe I'll just read the book after the course is over. I've found I enjoy books a lot more when they're not required for class, anyway.

I'm in a really weird place in my life right now. My life is so different now than it was two months or even one month ago, nevermind a year. I'm not where I thought I'd be, but then again, if you were to ask me what I think now, I don't know that I'd have an answer, either. I think I'm learning to roll with the punches, as it were, and just take things as they come. It sure makes life a lot easier and more enjoyable that way. I was rewatching some old episodes of Grey's Anatomy earlier, though, because I was kind of on a TV-watching kick from LOST and I'd also talked to Jessica about how much I used to love Grey's, even if I'm nowhere close to caught up with it now. I picked out Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I Am" out of one episode, and good grief if it isn't the sweetest, most sickeningly cute (and now depressing) song ever, haha. I can't get it out of my head, so I keep singing it. But I miss that feeling. I want to feel that way again.

And then to distract myself from that, I took a conglomeration of surveys from people's Facebook notes (although I only took the most interesting questions, instead of "what time did you wake up this morning?" so it wasn't much of a distraction). So since I hate how people are turning Facebook notes into Myspace bulletins, I thought I'd post it here.

001. Does your iPod have a name?
Cadence. I name all inanimate objects, and especially my electronic devices, haha.

002. Have you ever gotten in a drunken fight?
Oh LORD, haha. Not like a fist fight, but defs.

003. What was the last movie you watched by yourself?
Transformers.

004. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Negatory

005. Would it be hard to kiss the last person you kissed?
Mm, hard? No. All the nonsense involved with why the hell that's even happening again? Yes, haha.

006. What websites do you regularly visit?
Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, FML, TFLN, LJ... I'm under house arrest so I'm on the internet all the time, okay??

007. Was your last kiss drunk or sober?
Sober, although at least if I were drunk, it'd would have been excusable, ugh.

008. What perfume do you use?
I alternate between Gucci Envy Me, Escada Pacific Paradise, and Escada Moon Sparkle.

009. What do you currently hear?
Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I Am." So goddamn cute (and depressing now, ugh).

010. What type of music do you listen to?
I guess if you had to give it a genre, mostly power-pop/punk.

011. Describe your purse/bag.
Right now, I'm using my bigass red Primark bag as both my purse and schoolbag, but I have way too many others to describe them all, haha (I'm way more of a purse girl than a shoe girl).

012. What was the last thing your ordered online?
UT football season tickets!

013. What was the last thing you bought at a store?
A book for Psychology of Religion and a Moleskine planner!

014. What was the last thing you got in the mail?
An ad from Victoria's Secret (must go to the mall immediately, haha), but personally, a joint DC postcard from Meera and Lala.

015. Who was the last person in your bed besides you?
At MECA, I'm assuming the TriDelt who's subleasing my room, otherwise Jessica while I was packing frantically to fly to Annapolis, haha. At home, it doesn't even matter.

016. Who's one of your current celebrity crushes?
Just saw Transformers, so Josh Duhamel, unf. Sorry, Shia LaBeouf, I need a real man, LOL.

017. How many people have you kissed on your friends list?
Well, I'm posting this to my blog (because I hate how people are turning Facebook notes into Myspace bulletins) but I'm going to assume it means Facebook, so... 13? There's an explanation for that number, but I'm not telling, LOL.

018. Look in your inbox in your phone, who are all the people you have texts from?
Man, I am actually bored enough to do this: Meera, Mauro, Kristin, Emmanuel, Jessica, Saunders, Robin, Brian, Vicki, LanAnh, Natasha, Mateo, Jesse, Amalia, Alice, Josh, Johanna, and Liz (but the last few are only because I was out of the country for six weeks, so they've been sitting in there forever).

019. Are any of your texts in your inbox locked and why?
I didn't even know I could lock texts until I saw this questions and went to try. So yes, a few are locked now, some because they're cute, and some because they're hilarious, haha.

020. Do you recognize faces easily? What about voices?
Absolutely, to both. I think figuring out which boy was yelling from their apartment kitchen to ours was Vicki's and my favorite apartment game in Rome, haha.

021. Do you think it would be difficult to teach a kindergarten class?
No, I worked as a camp counselor for kids aged like 3 - 9 for three years.

022. Which would scare you more: horror movies involving creepy children or involving an abandoned hospital that had previously dealt with Tuberculosis patients?
Oh Christ, demon children! I just had this conversation with Jessica today, haha. And I'm a pre-med, I can handle TB.

023. Which book-to-movie transition was the worst, in your opinion?
TWILIGHT, LOL. I mean, the books were pretty fail already (softcore erotica for prepubescent girls, hello) but the movie was such a fail, it was a win. I DIED OF LULZ. So maybe I take that back and it was the best book-to-movie transition, haha.

024. What was the reason you last received flowers?
I got a tulip from Emmanuel at WorldMUN, haha. Flowers, multiple? Probably the ex kissing my ass for something while we were still dating.

025. When was the last time you went to a themed birthday party?
Err, birthday party? Marshal had a safari-theme going away party when he left for Africa, if that counts.

026. What is your favorite smell?
Cologne on boys (if worn well), fresh laundry, any sweet thing baking.

027. What is your favourite Queen song?
Fuck, this is when I admit I barely know any Queen and I get yelled at by everyone I know.

028. What was the last thing someone cooked for you? Who was it?
Err, no clue. I'm usually the one cooking for other people.

029. How many people have you dated since January?
Mrr, depends on your definition of dating.

030. Are you glad that I haven't mentioned anything about Michael Jackson before now?
I'm still hoping this is a hoax to set up for the greatest Thriller comeback tour EVER.

031. Are your eyes the same color as your dad's?
In that ours are both brown, yes, but mine are way darker, like my mom.

032. Have you ever crowdsurfed?:
No, but I've been crowdsurfed ON, which sucks. I can't support your weight, 200 lb douchebags!

033. Big trucks or little cars?
You'd have to get more specific than that, haha. I'll take my Mazda B-series over, say, a Civic, but if by "little car," you mean Maserati or something...

034. Have you ever given someone a hickey?
Okay, srsly, was this survey made for middle-schoolers?

035. Can you play poker?
Not really, which is why the boys try to get me to take over whenever someone has to leave the table for a bit, haha.

036. Have you ever broken someone's heart?
So I've been told.

037. Has anyone ever seen you kiss the last person you kissed?
Yeah, I'm sure people did.

038. Honestly, has anyone seen you in your underwear in the past three months?
Yeah. And even if it weren't for that, I have relatively little shame anyway, especially around close friends and roommates, haha.

039. Where did you last travel to?
I spent the first half of summer on the east coast (Annapolis, DC, NYC), and in England, Italy, and Greece.

040. Would you date someone who lived in another state?
Guh. I might've, but can we not talk about that? KTHX.

041. What are your weaknesses for the opposite sex?
Oh damn, haha. Dark hair and light eyes (the combination, not either/or), a good cologne/smell, friggin' dimples, abs.

042. How many times have you been in trouble with the police?
Err, I've never been pulled over as a driver, but I've been pulled over when someone else was driving like eight times, haha. Oh, and we had a noise complaint at a MECA party once, lame.

043. How old will you be on your next birthday?
21, SLUTS.

044. What tattoos do you have/want?
None yet, but I'm planning like, three, haha. I need to find someone who can help me design my rib piece o.O

045. Have you ever taken a picture of an ugly or fat stranger?
LOLOLOLOL YES. Our obnoxious roommates at the hostel in Florence.

046. Do you prefer pools or hot tubs?
Depends on my mood. I guess hot tubs, because I prefer Barton Springs or the ocean to pools.

047. Have you ever gone to Warped Tour?
Hells yes, last summer! I'm still bummed I missed this year.

048. What does your favorite shirt look like?:
Right now, I think my favorite is a like, sea foam green, J. Crew v-neck.

049. Do you tan a lot?
No, but I tan easily. Srsly, 10 minutes in the sun and I'll be two shades darker.

050. Can people usually tell when you're joking?
No, actually, so they usually miss my sarcasm and either think I'm a terrible person or a bitch.
