catscradle Jul. 20th, 2004 04:10 pm)I ran out of time answering all of these, so I snipped a few questions out. If you want the full meme, I found it on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wiebke's page:
What's on your bedside table?
A fan, a candle (possibly not the best combo there), tissues (even worse), a note book and a pen.
What is the geekiest part of your music collection?
My old A-ha collection.
What do you eat when you raid the fridge late at night?
Usually pop of some sort. Or something sweet.
What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
Jurasic Park. When the kids are in the car screaming in complete terror. the little girl does such a good job, I totally go to pieces and freak out.
Do you have a completely irrational fear?
Arachniphobia.
What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moment?
I play with straw wrappers or shred napkins.
Do you ever have to beg?
Only when it needs to stop and no one is stopping.
Are you a pyromaniac?
Not anymore.
Do you have too many love interests?
Is that possibe?
Do you know anyone famous?
I was stalked by Anne Rice, but I wouldn't say we were formally introduced.
Describe your bed.
Twin. Water paintish looking bed spread: blue/purple/green.
Spontaneous or plan?
Both.
Who should play you in a movie about your life?
I'd be animated.
Do you know how to play poker?
Yes.
How do you drive?
When I used to drive, I was very absent minded at the wheel and tended to turn into on coming traffic. Those of you that keep telling me I need to drive, I challege to sit next to me on our little road trip to hell.
What do you miss most about being little?
Giant, neighborhood wide games of kick-the-can.
Are you happy with your given name?
Yeah.
How much money would it take to get you to give up the Internet for one year?
A shit load.
What color is your bedroom?
Light blue.
What was the last song you were listening to?
The Hour that the Ship Comes In, Bob Dylan.
Have you ever been in a play?
No.
Have you ever been in love?
Yes.
Do you talk a lot?
Yes.
Do you like yourself and believe in yourself?
For the most part, yeah.
Have you ever done any illegal drugs?
Yes.
Do you think you're cute?
Depends on the day.
Do poor, homeless, or starving people sometimes annoy you?
No. What annoys me is the system that put them in that situation. I'm well aware that there are those that have put themselves in that lifestyle, and that can be annoying. Panhandlers are irritating. But the truly starving and poor - I don't think that, in and of itself, is something that can raise my contempt.
Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
Usually.
What's the one language you want to learn?
Portugeuse
How do you eat an apple?
With my mouth.
What do you order at a bar?
Whiskey or Tequila.
Have you ever pierced your body parts?
Ears. Woohoo!
Do you have tattoos?
Yes.
Would you ever admit to having done plastic surgery of any kind if confronted?
Uh, depends what on or why. Though unless it was a necessity, I wouldn't have it done.
What's one of the "funniest" things you've ever done?
Probably the time I stole a giant head from the Rock Island night club on New Years a few years ago. It was about 4 feet tall. No one even tried to stop me, though I did get a few weird "Is she suppose to be taking that?" looks from employees. Got tired of carrying it all around Denver though and it ended up in a tree facing someone's window. To this day I get pissed at myself for giving that up...
Do you drive stick?
No.
What's one trait you hate in a person?
People that ask others to do something for them before trying to do it themselves first. And I don't mean when they don't have time to do it themselves and ask others to help out, I mean "I don't feel like doing this and your time is a lot less valuable than mine, so can you do it for me?" Followed by "Aren't you done with that yet?" Don't get me started on people that bitch about things they're getting for free. . .
What kind of watch(es) do you wear?
Silver band, white/black face.
Most frivolous purchase?
The very occassional $100 plus dinner I have about 2 times a year.
Do you consider yourself materialistic?
Not really. I love buying books, DVDs and music, and I probably spend beyond my means. But I'm not out to have the best clothes, the best furniture, the best drapes or shit like that. If anything I just mismanage my money. Which I'm trying to fix now.
What do you cook the best?
Ironically, all the things I can no longer eat on a gluten-free diet. So I'm learning new recipes and hopefully I'll get good at this new style soon.
Favorite writing instrument?
Computer. Anything else give me hand cramps.
Do you prefer to stand out or blend in?
I don't go after either.
Would you ever go out dressed like the opposite sex?
Sure, why not.
What's one car you will never buy?
Any car.
Have you ever done drugs?
Yes. The hippy, trippy type mostly. And NyQuil.
What kind of books do you like to read?
Literary fiction, philosophy and science books.
If you won the lottery, what would you do first?
Quit my job.
Burial or cremation?
Neither appeal to me, actually. Can I opt not to die?
How many online journals do you read regularly?
I assume you mean magazines and not LJ. I don't read any on a regular bases. But I maybe read 3-4 each week. I like science journals, but I probably go back to Harpers and Mother Jones on a more regular bases. If you meant LJ, I think I have about 35 people in the friend's list.
What's one thing you're a sore loser at?
Losing a job to someone less deserving.
If you don't like a person, how do you show it?
I either ignore them or tell them to go away if they're agressively nasty.
Do you cry in front of friends?
I have upon occassion.
What kind of first impression do you think you give to people?
If it's a job interview, that I'm smart, personable and can get the job done. Otherwise, I don't really think about it.
What's one thing you like to do alone?
Read and write.
What's the worst thing you ever said to someone?
I remember when I was younger I told my dad he was stupid. Almost immediately I felt like I was the worst piece of shit to walk the earth. I don't think I've ever felt as low as when someone has belittled me, so the thought of doing it to someone else (who doesn't deserve it) is beyond repugnant.
When's the last time you cried?
Last night.
Favorite communication method?
IM
What is one thing you don't leave home without?
Keys, legal tender, lipstick, hair twisty.
What's the most painful experience you've ever had?
Physically: My sinus surgery. Mentally: Not writing about here.
Can you type with your eyes closed?
Yes I can certainky tuoe wih mt eyes ckosed (sorta).
Can you ski?
No,
Can you speak in sign language?
A little bit.
Can you do the butterfly stroke?
No.
Can you say the alphabet backwards effortlessly?
Nope. Have a couple learning disabilities from a nasty chronic illness I had from the ages of 3-5. It's very difficult for me to mentally see letters, words, numbers. . . I have to see them written out. Even with the alphabet going forward I sometimes have to sing the song in my head to remember what comes after what.
Can you tie a knot in a cherry stem with your tongue?
No, but oddly enough I tried this just yesterday.
Can you run a mile in under ten minutes?
No.
Can you stand the sight of blood?
Yep. Doesn't bother me a bit.

I can read tarot cards.
Can you admit it when you're wrong?
Yes.
Can you ask for help when you need it?
Yeah.
Can you tie a necktie?
Yes.
Can you successfully pierce someone's ear?
My own that keeps closing.
Can you play soccer?
Not well.
Can you sing?
Yes. I've been in four choirs, two of which I had to audition for.
Can you name three kinds of clouds?
Cumulus, Nimbus, Stratus (I knew this despite having copied it from weibke, honest).
Can you make a joke out of anything?
Unfortunately, yes. Even when it's best not to. It's an illness, really.
Can you perform CPR on another human?
Yes, but they'd probably die from it.
Do you know what CPR stands for?
Yeah.
Can you read minds?
No. Despite my boss' insistance that I learn this skill.
Can you write better poetry than Shakespeare?
Alas, no.
Can you speak more than one language?
Nope.
Do you know karate?
No. But my little nephew does.
Can you freestyle?
Sometimes, I admit, I need to trace.
In other news, I've got a tempting offer of 50 horror movie classics for only $29.95. Can I spare 30 bucks this month???

I'm glad I'm not the only adult who's ever slept in a twin bed. I had a twin until 3 years ago when I moved and my little bed looked super dorky in my big bedroom. I don't know why, but despite the fact I'm 6'0" and 190 lbs, the twin always seemed adequate to me.
LOL about stealing the giant head. OMG, I hope somebody peed their pants when they saw it looking in their window. what kind of head was it?
Re the alphabet, it's weird, I can do it backwards and forwards but if somebody spells out a word or a phone number to me, I have no clue what they're saying unless I write it down as they're saying the letters or numbers. It stresses me out so much. I call spell out words to other people just fine. Brains are weird!

The head was this cardboard cut out that resembled a psychotic face out of a 1930's-40s propaganda poster. Or like the poster of Reefer Madness. God, I really wanted that thing. It's be in my room still today if I had kept it. But I had injured my knee on some ice and was in too much pain to be also carting the head around.
I can't spell out words in my head or know what someone is spelling out to me either. I have to write it down. I can't do math in my head either. It's horrible. Damn my brain! They say it's because of my slowed mental development that was a symptom of the celiac (reason I can't eat gluten today).
