I watched 'Saved' tonight. Far too good. I definitely enjoyed it. Lots of attitude and humor. Gotta love.
I'm going to give up making daily fic reports, so assume I've only worked on the Obi-Virus fic unless I say otherwise, k? Easier that way :-)
1. What facial feature do you find the most attractive on others? Eyes first. Then cheeks.
2. Would you vote for a woman candidate for president? I certainly would, if I agreed with her platform. I'd vote for anyone who supported things that are important to me and who could follow through on them.
3. Would you marry for money? No. Though that would certainly take care of a lot of my problems. LOL
4. Have you had braces? Yeppers.
5. Do you pluck your eyebrows? No. I think it sometimes look creepy and I don't do the beauty thing.
6. Do you ever cut or hurt yourself? I bump my legs on tables or walk into doorjambs or turn pages too quickly and give myself papercuts. But that's about it.
7. When was the last time you had a hickey? Oh... um... beginning of May, maybe? My now ex-boyfriend used to bite-kiss during sex. But apart from that, the real kissing kind, I think probably back in spring of 2000 or whenever my boyfriend before that was. I can't remember.
9. Do you use ICQ, AOL Buddy list etc..? Not really. I sometimes use AIM. Wait. Where the hell did number 8 go???
10. If so, how many people are on your list(s)? I don't know. 50? 60?
11. If you could live in any past time period, which would it be? Ohhh easy one. Early-to-mid 18th century Scotland!
13. Do you wear shoes in the house or take them off? Here's my question: where's number 12 gone to? *sniffles* Okay, um, I almost always take them off. I'll put them back on if I'm working out or going into the laundry room because sometimes the kitties track kitty litter on the floor in there.
14. What is your favorite fruit? Grapes. No, clementines. Ohh or Asian pears. No, definitely grapes. Yes. White grapes. Seedless. But I do love clementines. Oohhhh and plums! *drool* Gods, I love fruit.
15. Do you eat wheat bread or white? Wheat, though I like white a little better, it makes me feel all healthy to eat wheat, and that's what I was raised on.
16. What is your favorite place to visit? Maybe Cape Cod. Or some of the mountain lakes in Vermont. Or the Blue Ridge Mountains. Or Seattle.
17. What is the last movie you saw? Saved. Very cute.
18. Do you kiss on the first date? Depends on a lot of things. But I'm not opposed to doing so in general.
19. Are you photogenic? Ugh. 45lbs ago I was.
20. Do you dream in color or black and white? Color, I think. But I'm not usually asleep long enough to get in the state where I remember dreams.
21. Are you wearing fingernail polish? Ugh. No. I hate the smell. And I never wear make-up. I think I've used nailpolish maybe 4 times in my life. I don't even own any.
22. Do you have any dimples? Nope.
23. Do you remember being born? Another nope. They had to use a big suction-cup vaccuum to get me out so I'm kinda glad I DON'T remember that!
24. Why do you take surveys? Because I like admitting completely pointless things to almost total strangers. It's easier than telling important things. LMAO
25. Do you drink alcohol? No. I hate the taste.
26. Did you like or do you like high school? Yes and no. I liked some aspects. I loved the classes. I loved all my clubs and activities. I loved doing everything and working every single second. But I could definitely live without many of the classmates and the stress & nightly mental breakdowns.
27. What is the most beautiful language? Italian. Anyone who says otherwise is INSANE! Bwahaha! No, really, it's gorgeous. Though I REALLY dig Scotch Gaelic as well. Something very alluring about the juxtiposition of letters and the sounds that are so completely foreign to English. Oohhh I love!
28. When you are asleep do you like being kissed awake? Eh, not really. It's terribly romantic, don't get me wrong. But I hate having to wake up and anything that wakes me- be it an alarm or my cat or a sexy lad- instantly gets on my bad side for a few minutes at least. Plus morning breath. ICK. Let me get up and rinse my mouth then get back into bed before you start kissing me. Seriously.
29. Do you like sunrises or sunsets the most? Sunsets, definitely.
30. Do you want to live to be 100? Having seen many relatives on my dad's side outlive their friends and kids, um, no. Probably not. Even if I didn't have physical problems, mentally I'd probably have a problem taking up resources.
31. Do you think women should be expected to shave their body hair? Um, no. If they want to, that's fine. I always wear pants, no matter how hot out it is. Nuff said. LOL
32. Do you like salty food or sugary food the most? SUGAR! Gimmie gimmie gimmie!!! I hate salt. I scrape it off french fries and stuff.
33. Is a flat stomach important to you? I'd like one again. And last week I started doing sit-ups every morning when I get up and right before I go to sleep. So, yeah, it's kind of important. I'd like one again. I'm not going to be all obsessed about it, though.
34. Do you or have you played with a ouija board? PLAY? Surely you jest! I've WORKED with one. heehee Yeah, I've used one. I've also purposely nudged the pointed a couple times to get it moving.
35. Are you loyal? I think so.
36. Are you tolerant of other people's beliefs? Getting less, as time goes on. I'm glad when people have their own views and beliefs and I believe they're perfectly within their rights to those. But I don't like being lectured to about them or having them forced on me. That can be painful. And harm ye none, do what you will!
37. When you watch movies at home, do you like the lights on or off? On, because usually I'm on the computer at the same time or writing in a notebook. And sometimes when I'm tired my eyes/head hurts when I watch them with the lights off.
38. Do you believe in magic? Absolutely. *sings favorite line from 'The Christians and the Pagans'*
39. Do you have nightmares frequently? No. Maybe one a year.
40. Do you like your nose? I don't hate it. I hate a lot of things about my physical features, but that's not one of them. It's fine. It's pretty normal.
41. Do you like abstract art? Some of it, yeah, sure. Really depends on the piece, though.
42. Do you think you can draw well? Hell no. I can't even manage stick figures! I can copy, though. I'm pretty good at copying. Though I'm out of practice.
43. Do you listen to music daily? I think so. Yeah, sure I do. But I don't listen to the radio, just my mp3's and CDs so I am a couple years behind on music for the most part.
44. Do you like to watch cartoons? Yeah. *blush* There are some from my childhood that are always fun to watch (I've seen ever Winnie the Pooh episode there is and I still enjoy watching them!) I was only really allowed to watch cartoons on Sat mornings, so that was like a HUGE treat to me. So watching those same ones now are really fun. And then there's anime, but I don't really count that as a cartoon. It's an art form more than anything else. But I do watch that, sure.
45. At what age did you find out that Santa Claus wasn't real? I found out for SURE just before Christmas in 2nd grade. So I guess I was 7. But I'd guessed that he was just my parents a couple years before that. It wasn't until I was 7 that I had the courage to actually ask and trust that they were telling me the truth, though. And then my sister came the following September so that was my frist Christmas playing along and pretending he was real for her sake-which I'm glad I did because I will ALWAYS treasure that look on her face when she and I went down together to see the presents Santa had brought. She called our Christmas tree a 'Tempta-tee'. Ghods she was a cute little kid. What the heck happened? LOL!
But, yeah I went from near-bliss to knowing it was all fake to pretending it was all magical again, one right after the other :-)
46. How many pairs of shoes do have in your closet? Right now? None. I have 1 pair downstairs in the hallway. I have 3 pairs in the bottom drawer of my dresser.
47. Do you like to wear the same shoes everyday or do you like a variety? I always wear boring white sneakers. I don't do that fashion thing. I have brown shoes with fat black soles that are pretty spiffy, but they're harder to drive in, so I don't wear them as much.
48. Do you write poetry? Not really. I HAVE written poetry in the past. My dream is to think up an idea and write an epic poem. But I haven't written a poem in YEARS.
49. Do you snore? If I am sleeping on my back, yes. Boyfriends have to wake me up or roll me over or both. It annoys them and I feel badly.
50. Do you sleep more on your back, front, or sides? See the point above about lying on my back. Whenever I try to lie on my stomach, my ribs hurt very badly. So I always lie on my side. With a pillow or two at my back and one between my legs and against my front. My happy-comfy is sleeping with a minimum of 4 pillows :-) Of course if I have a boy, he can replace a pillow or two.
51. Would you rather have a poodle or a rottweiler? I LOVE standard poodles. I don't really like little yappy poodles, though I've met a few I've liked. But standard poodles are great. I walk one a few times a week (my neighbors' dog). I've only met one rottweiler and he was mean. But his people were equally mean so I don't hold it against his breed. But I'd probably have to pick the poodle.
52. Do you lick stamps? I lick everything, baby... *lick* LOL No, really, I will. But they usually sell those sticker ones nowadays so there's no need.
53. Do you use an electric can opener? Nope. Too expensive and too complicated. Nothing wrong with the old fashioned kind.
54. Have you ridden in a hot air balloon? No, but I've always wanted to!
55. Which hurts the most, physical or emotional pain? Hrm. I have more control over recovering from emotional pain. But emotional pain is usually harder to handle at first. I don't know. *shrugs* It's kind of equal.
56. Do you think balding men should shave their heads? I'm happy with ANYTHING but a comb-over. But I do find most bald man terribly attractive.
57. Do you know anyone who is clinically depressed? I think I know more people who ARE than people who are not. LOL Well, maybe not, but it's close.
58. Do you prefer a piano or a violin? Piano, I guess.
59. Are you a sex addict? Hrm. Not by the actual definition. No.
60. Do you know someone who has cancer? I know too many people.
61. Do you hunt? HELL NO! I'd starve to death first.
62. Do you like fast food joints, or expensive restaurants? No. Oh, wait, you want me to choose between the two? I guess fast food, because I can actually afford it. I enjoy a lot of different foods, so I feel a little stupid paying so much money for something that is disposible.
64. Do you have a middle name? Yes I do. It's my grandmother's name on my Mom's side.
65. Are you basically a happy person? Eh, I guess I am. I'm a pessimistic realist, really.
66. Are you tired? YES.
67. Did you drink anything with caffeine in it today? Nope.
68. Have you ever met anyone off the internet? Yes, quite a few.
69. How many phones do you have in your house? Uh... 3? And a cell phone in my purse... and my sister's cell. So I guess that's 5? But I hate the phone, so I only ever use the one in the kitchen.
70. How long is your hair? Halfway between my chin and my shoulders. I like it more chin-length.
71. Do you get along with your parents? I suppose so. I get along with my Mom much better, I think. But I get along with them a LOT better when I'm not living with them.
72. What color of eyes do you prefer? I don't care one way or another. I like all eye colors, really.
73. Are you an active person? Yes and no. I am ALWAYS doing something. I hate having to sleep every night- I could get SO much done if I didn't have to sleep! But I don't run miles or anything.
74. What medications do you take? Right now, just generic claritin. Just got off the pill. And sometimes I take a daily vitamin & Tums for extra calcium.
75. What does your bedroom look like? Bed and shadowboxes against one wall. Dresser, window, shelf and two 4-shelf yaffa-block units full of videos on another wall. My computer desk between two large bookshelve packed FULL of books and DVDs on another wall. And then my closet and small rubbermaid shelves holding my TV & VCR on the fourth wall. Oh, and nothing much on the wall since I moved out and moved back in. Map of Scotland over my bed, because I have to have that. And there's a boarder at the top of the white walls with a little house and tree and floral scene. I picked it out when I was going through a 'country decorations' phase back in 7th-8th grade. That was just after my 101 dalmations phase. I'm rather glad parents put their feet down on painting black spots all over my walls.

Date: 2004-10-09 08:44 am (UTC)I consider myself a Christian- however, several of my close friends aren't (and no I don't try to "convert" them). I am not above taking digs at those that deserve them. Plus I have a very odd sense of humour sometimes. (Must come from enjoying all those classic Brit. comedies).
I figure that from some of the other things that you have said that you enjoy- that I'd probably enjoy it too.
Thanks!

Date: 2004-10-10 01:29 pm (UTC)ok- must be the satire aspect that my other friends were pointing at. (Love satire too).
I went to a small conservative college in the "Heartland". Most of the church goers in that particular area wouldn't know sarcasm if it bit them on the butt! It was a source of amusment and annoyance for me.
Sorry for bringing religious affliation up- just that in the past sometimes people have assumed that I wouldn't like something, or that I would bite people's heads off for certain opinions (some of which I Very much agree with). *sorry for rambling*
Anyway- noted from some other posts that you're not feeling well. Take care and I hope that you feel better soon! :)
