[ x ]Spell your first name backwards – Nagem (quite unattractive, no?)
[ x ] Are you a lesbian – not yet…but if this whole “guy” thing doesn’t work out, who knows? Nope, I’m destined to die alone in a cat-filled apartment, without any sort of male OR female romatic companion (damn the proximity of Valentine’s Day!)
[ x ] Where do you live – right now, scary LA. Well, Westwood doesn’t count as part of scary LA, ‘cause it’s in this nice little bubble…
[ x ] 4 words that sum you up – demanding, smart, cynical, witty (those last three are from Sean, so blame him for any inaccuracies)
DESCRIBE YOUR
[ x ] Wallet – it’s actually REALLY big (unnecessarily so)…it’s red “leather” with these three bead- and sequin-embellished ladies on the front.
[ x ] Hairbrush – I got it free with my blowdryer, and rarely use it.
[ x ] Toothbrush - white and gray something-or-other that I got from the dentist
[ x ] Jewelry worn daily – ha! I’m lucky if I remember to put on pants. A watch, if I’m feeling responsible, and earrings, if I’m feeling ambitious (not: neither of these things happen very frequently)
[ x ] Pillow cover – one red and one orchid-y pink (I have a “2 or more pillow” sleeping rule…it’s just the way I am)
[ x ] Blanket – comforter covered with this red flannel thing…soft and warm! …just the way I likes it.
[ x ] Coffee cup – one from NASA, one from British Airways, and one that I got when I graduated high school that has all the names of the kids who graduated with me (aww, how nice. They even spelled my last name right!)
[ x ] Sunglasses – I’ve had them since before my senior year. They’re a part of me—cheap, and from Pacific Sunwear…made in China or something like that
[ x ] Underwear- right now? Zebra, ‘cause I’m an ANIMAL! Haha…gross.
[ x ] Shoes – I have…sixteen…pairs of shoes here, including flipflops. And it’s COLLEGE! Who needs this many shoes? Well…me, I guess.
[ x ] Handbag – I have a slight problem with these, too. The one I’ve been using for the last…24 hours, is a blue Esprit messenger bag that I’ve had since about 7th grade. I have ten others in a box under my bed.
[ x ] Favorite top – probably the green one from American Eagle (“They say geniuses choose green…”) or the pink stripey one from A&F, which is cute, but cost WAY too much
[ x ] Cologne/Perfume – right now? Gin and Tonic by Demeter. In my overflowing medicine cabinet? Glamourous by Ralph Lauren, Dream by Gap, Clinique Happy, Sand and Sable, Lucky You, and Gap Blue
[ x ] CD in stereo right now – Norah Jones, but I usually have some silly Kazaa thing going on
[ x ] Tattoos – OW! And…well, that’s pretty much it. Owwwww!
[ x ] Piercings – 2 in each ear, and I hardly EVER wear earrings…
[ x ] What you are wearing now – haha…how tempting is it to say something like, “Lotion”? No…jeans, long-sleeved light blue shirt with rhinestones around the v-neck, the aforementioned zebra panties, socks, Vans, and a purple camouflage bra (haha, betcha can’t even see it!)
[ x ] Hair – in my current style rut…half-up in a barrette. Cut above the shoulders, about at the chin.
[ x ] Makeup – mostly BeneFit…and some Blistex
[ x ] In my mouth – umm…residual coffee taste. I spent the morning at Starbucks, filling in paperwork, and got a FREE hazelnut latte. Mmm…
[ x ] In my head – big sense of foreboding over impending Valentine’s Day, and the song “I Know What Boys Like” (does that count as irony or something?”
[ x ] Wishing - …and hopin’, and prayin’, and dreamin’…haha, I couldn’t resist. I don’t know, maybe that I had some stupid boy to share Valentine’s Day with? But I don’t think that’s what I NEED right now. Let’s not get into this. Wish in one hand and…nevermind. Don’t wish. What good is that? Wanting is totally unproductive.
[ x ] After this – probably more Literati, Collapse, and IMing…lunch with Andy, watching a French movie in the dumb old Media Lab…
[ x ] Talking to – Sean, Vu-Ha, Andy, Brian, Michelle, Candice…who knows? Pay attention to me!
[ x ] Eating – whatever crap they’re serving in the De Neve dining hall, I guess…nothing of any nutritional substance, but what’s new. “Involuntary anorexia,” as Andy calls it.
[ x ] Fetishes – lip products (balms, glosses, lipsticks…), TV…can people count as fetishes?
[ x ] If you could get away with it and murder anyone, who and for what reason – I don’t know if I should answer this…could you ever REALLY get away with murder? I mean, completely? Wouldn’t that require some sort of escape from self, as well as others?
[ x ] Person you wish you could see right now – any one of my goofy boy friends who could make me feel better…Sean, Tom, Ben, Vu-Ha…
[ x ] Is next to you – my fakey glasses, tube of Blistex, ghetto “vase” of cute pink Gerber daisies, assorted desk crap…the contents of my life
[ x ] Some of your favorite movies – “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,” “Great Expecations,” “Minority Repot,” “The Wedding Planner,” goofy, terrible movies including various Adam Sandler gems and such
[ x ] Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming month – NOT Valentine’s Day (hmm, did I already mention that? Too bad!)…impending visits from Mom and Grandma, paycheck from Starbucks…unexpectedly meeting a gorgeous and mostly-normal guy (pleasepleaseplease?)
[ x ] The last thing you ate – umm…something at dinner last night. All I’ve had today was that latte…
[ x ] Something that you are deathly afraid of – failure. That, or maybe dying alone and unloved.
[ x ] Do you like candles – eh…sure. Why not?
[ x ] Do you like hot wax – if it doesn’t involve the painful ripping out of hair, sure…
[ x ] Do you like incense – makes any room smell like a head shop. Not a fan.
[ x ] Do you like the taste of blood – uhhh…no.
[ x ] Do you believe in love – of course. What’s to live for if you don’t believe in love?
[ x ] Do you believe in soul mates – I think I believe in several soul mates…what if your “one and only” gets hit by a bus or something? You’re lucky to find any of them in your lifetime, though. Oh, and soul mates don’t have to be romantic relationships, either. And never include the phrase “soul mate” in wedding vows, if you write your own. It’ll make people retch.
[ x ] Do you believe in love at first sight – how can you love someone you don’t know? You can have lust and attraction at first sight, which are important parts of love, but you can’t have the whole package at first glance.
[ x ] Do you believe in forgiveness – depends on the crime and the perpetrator…
[ x ] What do you want done with your body when you die – cremated, but not kept on the mantel in anyone’s house…scattered somewhere, maybe?
[ x ] Who is your worst enemy - I like to think that all my enemies are the worst. It’s so hard to choose my favorite…
[ x ] If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be – brown miniature Dachsund, Frances!
[ x ] What is the latest you've ever stayed up – I’ve been up for about 37 hours…that’s my record.
[ x ] Ever been to Belgium – accidentally, when I was on a train to London…this has much to do with the 37-hour sleep-deprivation episode
[ x ] Can you eat with chopsticks – yep. Thanks to the careful training of my mother…
[ x ] What's your favorite coin – quarters. So versatile! Laundry, gambling, drinking…large parts of any college student’s existence.
[ x ] What are 5 cities you wouldn't mind relocating to – easy! London, San Francisco, NYC (even though I’ve never been there…oh well), Paris (if only I REALLY knew French!), Beverly Hills (close, geographically, but light years away as far as income is concerned…), and…Sydney (so what if Australia’s a former penal colony? I’ve heard nice things about it, and you don’t have to tip there!)
[ x ] What are some of your favorite pig out foods – cereal, chips and guacamole, entire pints of Ben and Jerry’s
[ x ] What's something that you wish people would understand – besides ME? Hmm…well, I AM the most important thing, and I can’t think of anything else. But then again, I don’t know that anyone can ever REALLY understand anyone else, entirely.
[ x ] What's something you wish you could understand better – the motivations of others
[ x ] Anyone you miss that you haven't seen in a long time – friends from home…Natasha, Leah, Sean, Ben, Dan, Tom
[ x ] What's one thing you want to make happen for tomorrow – actually get some reading done for WS 10 (not going to happen, but it’s nice to dream)…get a decent amount of sleep (again, not going to happen…but I might get some dreaming done THEN)
