1. Name someone with the same birthday as you? Jakie Ober... she was my friends sister, we grew up together from a young age and our mothers were best friends... but we never celebrated a birthday together. We were not the same age, but it still almost seems odd in retrospect.
2. Where was your first kiss? a game of truth or dare in a camp...
3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property? nope... it never occured to me to something like that.
4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? Nobody who wasn't in my family and even then not seriously. Secretly I am not comfortable touching people... violently or in comfort... my friend of 15 years or so and I have hugged once, and it was an awkward hug after one of her friends died in the eigth grade. (I just have a bubble people do not penetrate).
5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? Every year, from kindergarten until 12th grade (though large number, is realative, it was large for around here.) I have had I think only four solos ever. I have terrible stage fright.
6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex? face shape I think... I never really thought about it.
7. What really turns you on? The sharp edges... Jawlines, collarbones, the bone jutting out just off the hip.
8. What do you order at Starbucks? Nothing. I hate coffe and have never even been inside Starbucks.
9. What is your biggest mistake? I have to think of the biggest one? Any of several self-inflicted emotional psychosises that drive me to act in ways I regret (vague enough?)
10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose? yes... though it's difficult to explain what I was really hoping to get out of it, not exactly pain.
11. Say something totally random about yourself. I get angry when people agree with me in a fight. Not if they change their mind and take my side... but if they want to let it drop and go "fine whatever, your right". It makes me even angrier because I get frustrated that I can not make them see my point and now they have given up even trying... I have a calm and rational sense of thought, but I get volatile and idiotic in fights (something I learned from my father I think).
12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? No...
13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows? All the time. I turn on Nick Junior in the morning and watch that channel until Larissa falls asleep to nick @ nite at night. I can speak along with just about every episode of Spongebob, fairly oddparents, or jimmy neutron to ever happen (and quite enjoy singing along with the backyardagains)
14. Did you have braces? No my teeth are straight, it's my gums that are bad.
15. Are you comfortable with your height? Usually... I spend the day with little kids so I don't get a lot of reminders that I am short. Anyway it never really bothered me to begin with.
16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you? Sadly the closest thing that I have ever had to romance has been bad pickup lines and immature inuendo. *sigh* the romance is lacking in my life.
17. When do you know it's love? I don't know... I think that if I ever fall in love I will know it... I mean that's what everyone says.
18. Do you speak any other languages? Not fluently, I am less than conversational after four years of German class.
19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon? No, frankly tanning on purpose seems dumb to me, I never understood the appeal though, I tan easy, if I am out in the sun for very long, but I have a dark complexion and lots of frekles and don't care one bit about skintone.
20. What magazines do you read? I don't really read magazines... though I will skim catalougues... it's like window shopping in the convenience of your own home.
21. Have you ever ridden in a limo? Nope.
22. Has anyone you were really close to passed away? Someone I was really close to? Two people I went to school with died when I was in highschool, one of them I used to be friends with and we had a falling out... we got on eachothers nerves for some reason and I avoided her more often than not by the time it happened... so I don't know about close. My stepfather's father died, my unlce Al, my Aunt Emma (I can't imagine catagorizing any of them as close... like if my mother died, or one of my siblings... I would fall apart... but these were just emotionally uncomfortable.
23. Do you watch mtv? No, though when I was twelve I really enjoyed that show Say What, where they told the lyrics (but that was before I was an internet drone).
24. What's something that really annoys you? People who think they know you before having met you... first impressions that you can not outlive. Like when someone sees me and thinks I'm a kid because I look about 15 and refuse to believe I could be a responsible adult, even when in reality the person and I are pretty close in age. Aggravating.
25. What's something you really like? Nature and poetry... interchangably. They are both things that make me feel peaceful and happy in a place deep inside, and reminds me that some things are okay.
26. Do you like Michael Jackson? I can't say that I do
27. Can you dance? I don't dance... not only do I have two left feet and no sense of rythm, but I don't dance...
28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up? A week or so... though seriously when I get to a certain point in the night I just decide going to sleep would not be worth it so, it would be hard to record the latest I have ever stayed up considering the amount of times I have not gone to sleep at all.
29. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room? yes. Eleventh grade my sister got into a car accident and I cracked the windsheild with my skull (but I did not crack my skull with the windsheild). I was fine, but they paramedics insisted.
30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out? it depends on the person, sometimes I read ones from complete strangers... (because Stangers with this kind of honesty make me grow a big rubbery one) because I find it fascinating I can just get inside other peoples heads. I almost always read them on friends lists, just to see what they say.
