timerippleThe things one does to avoid schoolwork... *sigh*
ABOUT YOU
Your full name:: Have you any comission to negotiate with my full name?
Age:: 18.752
Height:: 5' 8" or thereabouts. I presume this means without shoes and applies to the present time only. Because I've been everything from microscopic upward in my life so far.
Natural hair colour:: Brown. I could be more creative, but I have a feeling I'm going to need all my creativity for some of these other questions.
Eye colour:: Green on the outside, yellow nearer the pupil at the moment. Although they've been hazel and green in past years. This one seems to be working for now.
Number of siblings:: now, that's an interesting question. Too bad I'm not going to go through it here.
Glasses/contacts?:: Glasses
Piercings:: None
Tattoos:: None at the moment, although I've had one fake one and one drawn with liquid eyeliner for Halloween. Good times, good times.
Braces?:: Ah, the pain of mid-teenagerhood.
FAVOURITE
Colour:: Varies at any given time. Yesterday it was the color of the sky in spring, other times it's the particular shade of light through oak leaves as summer wanes... you get the idea. If not, you're dense and I pity you the lack of poetry in your life.
Band:: Chuffed
Song:: So much music, so many moments in a day, a new song for each moment. Why is the author of this survey so limited in imagination?
Stuffed animal:: Manda Panda
Video game:: *sigh* I fail to see the attraction.
TV show:: Alias - if you watch a show solely for the mocking potential, it doesn't count. Do shows that are no longer running count? Because Voyager is the dear child of my Trekkie heart.
Movie:: Why be so limited, I ask again? A fair comparison would require having loved each movie for an equal amount of time. I was only introduced to the wonder of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure last December, while others have lingered round my childhood memories like mosquitoes round an exposed arm. Only without the bloodsucking thing.
Book:: Please see the commentary on "Movie" and extrapolate.
Food:: The sweet nectar of happiness, why? You think I'm going to give somebody any help if they want to poison me?
Game on a cell phone:: You know that one with the ribbon fly thing? It's really stupid.
CD cover:: When I make one, it will be my favorite. Until then, cease these amateur questions.
Flower:: Hast ever known the Flower of Maheraley?
Scent:: A combination of soap, Cucumber Melon lotion, and a lack of showering at the moment.
Animal:: I feel a deep kinship with animals. Some more than others. That is none of your business.
Comic book:: I acknowledge that certain areas of my life are grievously lacking.
Cereal:: I'd tell you, but a) it changes, and b) nobody's paying me to promote their cereal.
Website:: Whichever one can tell me the most about vertebrate eye organogenesis.
Cartoon:: Please see "Cereal".
DO YOU
Play an instrument?:: In the broad sense, yes.
Watch TV more than 60 hours a week?:: Negative, Captain.
Like to sing?:: Broadly defined, yes indeed.
Have a job?:: For another week, yes.
Have a cell phone?:: As in, there is one in my possession. Unfortunately, it is nonfunctional.
Like to play sports?:: There are many factors involved in whether or not I like to participate in a particular sport at any given time. I will not discuss them here.
Have a boyfriend/girlfriend?:: In the specific sense in which this question is most likely intended, no.
Have a crush on someone?:: Hmm. There are so many degrees of crushes, really. I prefer not to discuss them at this time.
Live somewhere NOT in the United States?:: I have traveled and spend portions of my life in various other countries, yes. If this question is asking whether I have taken up residence in another country, the answer is not yet.
Have more than 5 TVs in your house?:: 1) I don't own a house. 2) I live in a dorm, where there are probably more than 5 TV sets. 3) None of them are mine. 4) The house at the address listed as my permanent address has no more than 5 TVs, and in fact considerably fewer.
Have any special talents/skills?:: Of course. Everybody does. I will not encourage sabotage from rougue government agencies by listing them here.
Excercise daily?:: This requires further definition before I can answer it.
Like school?:: Please see my answers to "Music" and related questions.
CAN YOU
Sing the alphabet backwards?:: Doubtful. I have to start at the beginning in order to remember whether a particular letter comes before or after another.
Stand on your tip toes without wearing shoes?:: Sure, but they might end up broken as a result.
Speak any other languages?:: I know some rudimentary archaic Greek, various phrases in French, German, and Russian, a bit of Spanish, and am fluent in Pig Latin.
Go a day without food?:: I've never tried, but theoretically it's possible.
Stay up for more than 24 hours?:: See the above.
Read music, not just tabs?:: Please re-state the question.
Roll your tongue?:: Yes indeed.
Eat a whole pizza?:: Depends on how big the pizza is.
HAVE YOU EVER
Snuck out of the house?:: Which house?
Cried to get out of trouble?:: No
Gotten lost in your city?:: Which city, exactly, is "my" city?
Seen a shooting star?:: *pained* Shooting stars are not the technical term. I have seen meteors, yes.
Been to any other countries besides the United States?:: Yes
Had a serious surgery?:: Having one's wisdom teeth removed is, I feel, a serious surgery.
Stolen something important to someone else?:: No.
Solved a rubiks cube?:: No... although I've never tried.
Gone out in public in your pajamas?:: How public is public?
Cried over a girl?:: In the sense of "O my sister (figuratively), I weep for you!", yes.
Cried over a boy?:: There were other issues involved as well. It wasn't just his stunning good looks, vibrant intelligence, and utter lack of integrity.
Kissed a random stranger?:: No.
Hugged a random stranger?:: Yes.
Been in a fist fight?:: Not in the waking world, although it seems to be requisite in saving-the-world dreams.
Been arrested?:: Certainly not.
Done drugs?:: Define "drugs". In the illegal sense, or in the pharmaceutical sense? The problem with the English language is its lamentable lack of precision. Greek is much better.
Had alcohol?:: See what I mean about precision? Had as in "possessed"? "Drank"? "Gave birth to"?
Laughed and had milk come out of your nose?:: Not to date.
Pushed all the buttons on an elevator?:: Possibly. Possibly not.
Gone to school only to find you had the day off because of a holiday/etc?:: Yes. It was a snow day.
Swore at your parents?:: What constitutes swearing?
Been to warped tour?:: Huh?
Kicked a guy where it hurts?:: Not in this waking world.
Been in love?:: That is none of your business.
Been close to love?:: Oh, yeah, Cupid/Eros/dude with the golden darts and I are best chums. We have long conversations about the importance of chocolate and why, exactly, nail polish is such a big phenomenon.
Been to a casino?:: Yes. It was noisesome and tastelessly lit, although the food was decent.
Ran over an animal and killed it?:: With a car? Not to my knowledge. But I'm pretty sure I've stepped on worms and such.
Broken a bone?:: My own or someone else's? I have broken one of my own, although not intentionally.
Gotten stitches?:: No.
Had a waterballoon fight in winter?:: No, but thanks for the idea.
Drank a whole gallon of milk in one hour?:: Nope.
Made homemade muffins?:: Yes, in the dim past.
Bitten someone?:: Hmm. My dentist, maybe.
Been to Disneyland/Disneyworld?:: No.
More than 5 times?:: This is irrelevant.
Been to niagra falls?:: No.
Burped in someone's face?:: Not to my recollection.
Gotten the chicken pox?:: Yes. *shudder*
