rainbow_goddess:
1. What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
Schindler's List. Dude, how can you not cry as the credits start to roll?
2. If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?
Remove the strange growths on my chest, more commonly known as boobs.
3. Do you have a completely irrational fear?
Bugs, bees especially. Which isn't to say I'll run shrieking in fear instead of swatting them, just not with my bare hands. And I will freak out and go nuts trying to get the critters away from me.
4. What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moment?
I itch. It's completely uncontrollable; I become so self-conscious when I'm nervous that I itch uncontrollably. In the situations where this didn't happen, I started to shake and twitch, which was worse.
5. Are you a pyromaniac?
Not actively, but get me near a flame or explosive and I'll become one.
6. Do you have too many love interests?
If zero counts as too many, yes.
7.Do you know anyone famous?
Nope, unless you count within fandom.
8. Describe your bed.
Twin bed, long mattress 'cause it's a dorm bed, with dark green sheets and a Binary Blanket in black with green ones and zeroes. Mattress is rather hard and uncomfortable, so I might buy one of those pad thingies for it next time I go into town.
9.Spontaneous or plan?
Plan. I'll randomly come up with things I want to do sometimes, but once it's decided that we're doing them, we're doing them and anything else will provoke much complaining and general resentment.
10. Do you know how to play poker?
Yep. But only five-card stud.
11. What do you carry with you at all times?
The contents of my pockets: wallet (with varying amounts of cash, school ID, learner's permit, library card, bookstore gift cards, etc), loose change, safety pins, retainer case, pencil, pen, eraser, pencil lead, cheap Bic lighter, Swiss army knife, and my allergy meds--Benadryl and an EpiPen--in case I eat something suspect and go into anaphylactic shock. Also always wear my rainbow chain necklace, dog tag and room key on the same chain, a skull ring that I picked up somewhere, and used to always have my watch on until the battery died.
12. What do you miss most about being little?
Being able to submerge myself within my fantasy world instantly. That particular talent has gone away as the years passed.
13. Are you happy with your given name?
No. I don't even go by my given name anymore.
15. How much money would it take to get you to give up the Internet for one year?
Several million dollars. At least.
18.Do you like yourself and believe in yourself?
Not really.
19, Do transient, homeless, or starving people bother you?
No, not unless they randomly start a conversation with me on the street. But then again, any stranger who randomly starts conversations with me on the street bothers me.
20. Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
By absolute, internal standards--no. But compared to most of the other people I know--yes.
21. Do you spend more time with your S.O. or your friends?
That's assuming I have both an S.O. and friends. Which I don't, so piss off.
22. What's one thing you wish you could do but can't?
Eat pizza. And ice cream, for that matter, and all the other wonderful dairy products I can't eat.
23. What is your ideal marriage location?
I have little interest in getting married, but if I did it would be in the winter, at the National Cathedral in Washington DC. Fat chance of that though.
24. Which musical instrument do you wish you could play?
Violin, or maybe drums.
25. Favorite fabric?
WTF? Plain old cotton, thanks.
26. Something you love and hate?
Girls. *seethes* Why, lord, WHY?
27. What kind of bedding do you use?
Right now I have scratchy cotton sheets that I don't like too much, but I like my gray flannel winter sheets a lot. Too hot for them now though.
28. Do you tell your friends about your sex life?
Not really. On the rare occasions I actually have a sex life, I'll make sporadic friends-locked LJ posts that mention it, but no gory details.
29. What's the one language you want to learn?
Only one? The List currently includes Arabic, Swedish, Latin, ancient Greek, Aramaic, Sumerian (and other fun dead languages), Icelandic, Italian, possibly Japanese...
30. What do you order at a bar?
I don't. The smell of alcohol makes me sick.
31. Have you ever pierced your body parts?
I have my ears double-pierced and am determined to get a labret piercing... but if you mean me, myself, actually piercing one of my body parts, not a professional... no.
32. Do you have tattoos?
No, but I want a few.
33. Would you ever admit to having done plastic surgery any kind if confronted?
If it were the kind I mentioned above, yeah, if someone asked me... but otherwise I wouldn't have plastic surgery.
34. Do you drive stick?
Sort of. I had one lesson on a stick shift, but I never even did any shifting--just how to start and stop the car relatively smoothly.
35. What's one trait you hate in a person?
Ouch. There are a few. Hypocrisy is one. Abrasiveness is another. I'd get into the rest, but it'd turn into a rant.
36. What kind of watch(es) do you wear?
The ThinkGeek Matrix binary watch, which I rarely actually have in binary.
37. Something you love and hate?
This appears to be a repeat question.
38. Most frivolous purchase?
I don't know. Now if we go into my dad's frivolous purchases, that'd be quite a list...
39. Do you consider yourself materialistic?
In a way, yes. I like buying stuff, although it's not an obsession.
40. What do you cook the best?
For me, anything that doesn't result in the smoke alarm going off is a major success.
41. Favorite writing instrument?
Keyboard.
42. Do you prefer to stand out or blend in?
I don't go out of my way to do either. I don't like to attract attention, but I'm not real big into conformity. Oh, and get me on a stage and I'm a total limelight hog.
43. What kind of books do you like to read?
Sci-fi, fantasy, nonfiction, maybe a mystery novel now and then.
44. If you won the lottery, what would you do?
Invest about half of it, buy myself a nice house somewhere in Europe or the Pacific Northwest, and then take the rest of it and go on a massive spending spree.
45. What's one thing you're a sore loser at?
Arguing. I just won't fucking give up, even on the rare occasions where my opponent pummels me into the ground.
46. If you don't like a person, how do you show it?
Avoiding them, usually. If I don't like them because they're continually insulting me, though, at some point I'll engage, insult back, and occasionally end by trying to beat the shit out of them.
47. Do you cry in front of friends?
No. If I did I'd be extremely embarrassed. The only person I'll cry in front of is my mother.
48. What kind of first impression do you think you give to people?
Honestly, I have no idea. Quiet, maybe, and a little quirky.
49. What's one thing you like to do alone?
*eyebrow* Just one? I think the shorter list would be of things I don't like to do alone, and that'd be a short list indeed.
50. Are you a giver or a taker?
Really depends on what's being given or taken. If it's something that doesn't matter much to me or that I already have plenty of, I'll be happy to give, but I get very territorial about stuff I've deemed mine.
51.Favorite communication method?
LJ or message boards.
52. How many drinks before you're tipsy?
I don't drink. It makes me sick.
53. Do you ever have to beg?
If you count asking parents for money, yes.
54. Have you ever done any illegal drugs?
Nope.
56. Do you think you're cute?
Not in the least.
57. Do you have problems changing clothes in front of friends?
I like my privacy, but it's not a major hangup.
57. What's the most painful experience you've ever had?
I don't know. Can't really think of one.
Had an interesting day of classes today. Derivatives, whittled donkeys and dental fricatives. Joy joy.
