that meme!
Okay, so this counts as getting off my lazy summer ass and updating, I guess - this meme was too fun to resist!
(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)
| ✓ I miss somebody right now. | ✓ I don't watch much TV these days. | ✓ I own lots of books. (Although Wicked is my baby these days and it's the only book that gets re-opened.) |
| × I wear glasses or contact lenses. (I have glasses for class, but at -75 I don't usually wear them elsewhere.) | × I love to play video games. (I did have the obligatory Sims phase, though.) | ✓ I've tried marijuana. (But you see, I seem to have a pot problem. I'm the only one that doesn't jump around the room like a chicken and get disastrous glassy red eyes. I simply feel drunker. So maybe I have an anti-pot gene that I'll be grateful for in the future? Nevermind what Val and Dom brought back from their stop in Amsterdam this summer, heh.) |
| ✓ I've watched porn movies. (Who hasn't? Even if the storylines are SO SO ridiculous it wouldn't turn a freak nympho on because of their sheer stupidity and comic-value. Also, porn "lezzies" suck in the bad non-porn way. Ick.) | × I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. | ✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy. (Depends? Usually being the key word here.) |

| × I enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner. | ✓ I'm an artist. (It sounds horribly pretentious to tick this! But I love drawing, and although I don't do it as much, photoshopping.) | × I am ambidextrous. |
| × I sleep with so many stuffed animals, I can hardly fit on my bed. | × If it weren't for having to see other people naked, I'd live in a nudist colony. (That doesn't make sense.) | ✓ I have terrible teeth. (Maybe not terrible, but they're waaaay too short.) |

| × Nobody has ever said I'm normal. | ✓ Sad movies, games, and the like can cause a trickle of tears every now and then. (Maybe not GAMES, but movies? Sure. Except the Notebook, because I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED.) | × I am proficient in the use of many types of firearms and combat weapons. (nah, only my fannish loves are.) |
| ✓ I like the way women look in stylized men's suits. (YESSSS. YES YES YES. Not drag kings or "real men's wear",but feminized men's wear like blazers, office clothes and such. So very hot and I would dress only in that.) | ✓ I don't like it when people are unpleased or seem unpleased with me. (I don't like conflict. At all. Except with my parents.) | × I have been described as a dreamer or likely to have my head up in the clouds. (Occasionally.) |

| × I can't stand being alone. | ✓ I have at least one obsession at any given time. (I AM SEEING WICKED IN AUGUST WILL EXPLODE ebrieuwgrueiwbfueibfuebfuebfubEDEN ESPINOSA!! Eden Eden Eden! Stage door! And it's still the second best book ever.) I will not admit that I am also all over Wicked RPF. All over it. |
× I weigh myself, pee/poo, and then weigh myself again. (I never weigh myself. EVER. Although I'm worried my luck will run out because I eat like a fucking pig at EVERY Ben & Jerry's shift. Waffle cones. Ice cream. More ice cream. Extra smoothie. Extra milkshake.) |

(...like the past weekend in which I feel asleep in a room with 11 noisy drunk theater crazies.) |
| × I would rather read than watch TV. (I'd rather read than randomly watch TV, but I'm more fannish over my favorite shows than a book, I guess. Wicked notwithstanding.) | × I like reading fact more than fiction. | ✓ I have pulled an all-nighter on an assignment I was given a month to do. (STORY OF THE PAST TWO YEARS. Finish at 7.30 am and get ready for school!! Although in my defense there's so much IB shit per day that you couldn't possibly start something a month in advance because you have the previous work to finish.) |

| × I once spent Christmas completely alone because there was a miscommunication on which parent was supposed to have me that night. | × There have been times when I have wondered "Why was I born?" and may/may not have cried over it.

| × I own a collection of retro games consoles. | ✓ The thought of physical exercise makes me shiver. (Definitely not sporty. Wish I was!!) | × I have hit someone with a dead fish. (HAHA.) |

| × I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex. | ✓ I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders. (I don't have *different* motivations for each gender. What does a teenager think of? Heh. Although I was inching towards lesbian/homoflexible it's going back to the center now and I AM CONFUSED, because it pisses me off that I can't figure it out faster.) |
× I sometimes won't sleep a whole night or eat a whole day because I forget to. |
| × I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on. | × I dislike milk. | × I obsessively wash my hands. |
| × I always carry something significant around with me. | ✓ Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. (Deffo. I am at war with mine and must redo the highlights...) | × I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others. |
| × Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother. | × I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document. (I appreciate the snark of the one who did this meme!!) | ✓ I've liked something which a majority of people claimed was either bad or weird. (shitload of butter on bread. And I do mean a shitload. There's also the lemon juice on pasta & tomato sauce!) |
| × I have been clinically dead for a brief period of time. | × Instead of feeling sympathy/empathy with people and their problems, I simply become annoyed. | × I participate/have participated in auto drag races and won. |
| × I do not 'get' most comedy acts. | ✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing. | × I don't like to chew gum. |
| ✓ I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it. (HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY. Who else can claim utter ''fannish'' glee when the teacher brought American/Canadian papers depicting the 1917 Bolshevik revolution? Papers you recognize nonetheless? GLEE. Although I'm mostly interested in everything past the beginning of the 19th century. Again, HISTORY LOVE. And Poli Sci love, when it's specific and less thematic.) |
× I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car. | ✓ I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years. (agh, I was such a brat when we went to live in France.) |
| × I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other. | × I play Dungeons and Dragons weekly. | × I love to sing. (hahaha. If sing means sing badly to take a mockable video, then yes) |
| × I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up. | × I have a custom-built computer. | ✓ I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. (Especially if they're women, heh.) |

| × I am a twin! | × Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. (Depends on the day.) | ✓ Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else. |
| × I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes. | × I sleep more than 12 hours a day. | ✓ I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough. |
| × I need more time to myself. | × I wish I was more open-minded. | × I hope that I go really prematurely grey. |
| ✓ I download songs from the internet. | × I've just reenacted chapter 58 of Death Note with my best friend. (I've only watched the trailer.) | ✓ I say random things to freak people out. (Maybe not to freak them out, but I am queen of random.) |
| × I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note. (I found out it was a manga and a movie's just been made, but...don't know the ending!) | × I love playing Truth or Dare. | ✓ I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it. |
| × Music helps me remember that I am not alone. | × Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems. | ✓ I think this survey is particularly long. (But fun.) |

Random:
- Just got back from a weekend at Lac Castor where we kids from the play rented a chalet to spend time together again that turned into the chalet of utter debauchery and great food. And skinny dipping, I have vids!
- I do need a second job, because I only have two shifts a week now. Meh.
- Work is fun when it involves throwing baby m&ms into Adam, Tim or Diane's mouths. Not to mention inventing chocolate waffle cones. AND all the free Ben & Jerry ice cream and smoothies I DEVOUR. Metabolism baby, don't quit me now!
