1. PICK ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?

I had these scars on my foot. They've faded a lot now. When I was 12 and visiting Pakistan, for some ungodly reason, I was wearing nylons. And the top of my foot had these blisters. The heat fused the nylons to my foot. This was very painful and I don't recommend it. Eventually, with enough Nivea smeared on my foot, I was able to peel the nylon and some of my foot off. Ow.

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?

In my bedroom, where I currently am, there is a bulletin board over my desk. A David McEnery Cat Calendar. A beaded mirror my cousin gave me. A porcelain hang-y thing that Judy gave me which says "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You." An abstract painting of two women holding each other. It reads "Shoulders" in a language I don't remember. It's also from Judy, from her stint in Puerto Rico. And a print of two beige flowers with a red one in the center by some Japanese artist I am too lazy to spell correctly.

3. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?

Things that are perky. Or things that are very moody.

4. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?

Sometime in the afternoon.

5. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?

Food.

6. WHAT DO YOU MISS AT TIMES?

This is lame, but the faith I had once that everything would always turn out okay.

7. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?

I love a lot of my things. But in the case of a fire, I'd run out with the starfish necklace Judy gave me for being in her wedding. It used to be the ring she gave me which read "Think of Me" in Latvian, but I lost it, to my eternal misery.

8. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?

The sea.

9. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?

Yes.

10. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW?

I wouldn't have to do the motherfucking triathlon.

11. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?

To make me cry? My ex.

12. What is your favorite cologne/perfume?

None.

13. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX (or same)?

Not long. And I love dark hair, but I'm really not picky.

14. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO?

I can't.

15. DO YOU LIKE PORN?

Sometimes. Mostly because it's funny.

16. WHAT ARE YOUR FIVE FAVORITE MOVIES?

Oh fuck this question. Right now I'm feeling the love for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "When Harry Met Sally," "Lord of the Rings (duh)," "Sliding Doors," "Garden State."

17. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF GOING FOR YOUR HONEYMOON?

Italy. I know this contradicts #14, but so what?

18. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?

Huh. I really work hard to not piss people off. So I don't know.

19. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?

Urdu. And some French.

20. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE OPPOSITE SEX) (WHO WASN'T RELATED TO YOU)?

My first boyfriend, Ken bought me a dozen roses. It was very sweet.

21. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE SINGER(s)?

Too many to pick just one. But I really love Dido.

22. FAVORITE BAND(s)?

Too many to pick just one. But I remain obsessed with Maroon Five. Pink Floyd is probably my favorite band of all time, though.

23. WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU LIKE TO READ?

All kinds. I think the best of any genre is worth reading. I read a variety of sci-fi/fantasy, but also a great deal of what would be called chicklit.

24. FAVORITE DESSERT:

Mmmm. Really well made cake. Like the one from Swanson's Bakery with the macaroon layer, and raspberry layer, and Bavarian cream layer, and marzipan fondant. My GOD it's good.

25. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE?

Milky and sweet lattes.

26. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PHRASE ?

Fuck a buncha that.

27. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?

Yup. I make remarkably bad choices when it comes to love.

28. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?

By treating them the way they'd like to be treated, and not just how you feel like treating them. Basically I think people sometimes make grand declarations of love which have nothing to do with the person they're declaring it to. They're more in love with the idea of being someone in love than giving that person what they need. Hint: If it's always about you? It's not love.

29. BLONDES, REDHEADS OR BRUNETTES?

Sure.

30. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?

Wow. This makes me realize how little I use the phone. Viva la internet. Probably Stace.

31. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?

People who don't appreciate what they have.

32. HAVE YOU EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?

I don't think so.

33. WHO IS YOUR CURRENT CRUSH?

Nathan Fillion.

34. WHAT IS YOUR WORST FEAR?

Right now? The triathlon. But long term? Dying alone, forgotten, and a burden to those around me.

35. SAY SOMETHING TO SOMEONE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN/TALKED TO IN A WHILE:

Shit. Mande. We need to catch up!

36. HAVE YOU EVER SAID "I LOVE YOU" AND NOT MEANT IT?

Yes. It's soul-killing.

37. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED THIS SURVEY

Whining about my day on LJ.

38. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Man. If they perfected fat-suction, I'd be there.
