A Survey

Interested in anyone?
The world is filled with interesting people. ~_^

Do you think if you died that the last person you kissed would even care?
The last person I kissed was probably Elizabeth or Brynn, and I’m not sure they’d be able to understand death. Although, if I take this question in the spirit intended, yes, I think Alan would care very much if I died.

Who were you in the car with last?
The last person I was in a car with was my dad.

Your opinion on drugs?
I’m all for ’em! Marijuana should definitely be legal, anyway.

Love anyone starting with C or B?
I love my Brynnie-Bear! And my grandmother and aunt Courtenay and my dad Bill, as well as Alan’s grandfather Bill.

Are there things in your life that you’ll never be able to get over?
I can’t make it like they never happened, and why would I want to? Everything I’ve gone through has become a piece of who I am now. And I like me. So I may be "over it" but nothing is gone or forgotten.

How would you feel if you got the person you liked?
I think that would probably be a bad thing, resulting in a very messy situation

When’s the next time you’ll kiss someone?
Unless events unfold in a most unexpected manner, shortly after 12:30 AM EDT on 6/11/10. ^_^

Do you know what the last person you kissed is doing right now?
It’s 5:30 AM there… He’s either asleep or just waking up.

Do you think things will change in the next few months?
Try the next few WEEKS!

Do you plan on getting drunk in the near future?
I do have an awful lot of alcohol to get rid of before the big move. Who’s up for a party?

What was the last thing you drank?

ACV with lemon juice and honey in water

Is there anyone who truly disgusts you?
Not that I can think of. Obviously, disgust is not an emotion I want to linger on.

Would you consider your parents to be strict?
They really weren’t, but then again, I wasn’t a kid who broke a lot of rules.

Do you sleep with the door open or closed?
Closed, although I always leave it cracked for the kitties to come and go.

Do you hate the last person you kissed?
Only on special occasions. ^_^

What do you currently hear right now?
The fan running next to me

What grade is the last female you talked to in?
The last woman I talked to was the cashier at Whole Foods and she didn’t seem like she was school-age. LOL

What about the last guy?
The last guy I talked to was Alan, so that one doesn’t work either.

Has anyone ever told you, you’re amazing?
Yes, and in many different contexts. The most interesting comment was that I was amazing in bed. And this was well-outside of a bedroom setting, so it wasn’t just blissed out gratitude for the sex. Hehehe!

Who were you talking to this summer?
Ahh… how much summer differs from the rest of the year when you’re in high school. In the real world the only difference is that it’s hot and everyone is cranky

Do you ever turn off your cell phone?
Not so much, no.

Would you go out in public looking like you do now?
I do on a regular basis. I’m wearing my standard work-out gear.

Do you miss the way things used to be?
Sometimes.

Do you like the person you are becoming?
Yeah, I’m kind of awesome.

Someone knocks on your window at 2 am, who is it?
Someone with the ability to levitate

Do you miss someone at the moment?
Not actively. I mean, using the computer isn’t exactly a shared activity, although I do miss Alan’s general presence.

Do you hate it when people get involved in your life?
I think they probably mean well, so I try to listen and at least consider what they have to say. Maybe it’ll change my mind about what I’m doing. Maybe not.

Is your bed against more than one of your walls?
No. You think I wanted to have to climb over Alan to get out of bed in the morning?

Have you ever been attracted to someone’s parent?
Well, I’m attracted to a few of the dads at Bright Horizons, so yeah.

Do you think you’ve changed over the past year?
Definitely. I’ve gotten back to being more myself. It’s hard to explain, but I think I was channeling too much Martha Stewart and not enough Morticia Addams. I’m better now though.

Do you regret anything about your past?
Yeah. I know everyone says that you should live without regret, but I think if we did that, we’d just end up making the same mistakes over and over again. Without regret, what would tell us that something is a bad idea? Mostly, though, I regret opportunities missed or wasted.

What did you do on your 15th birthday?
That would be freshman year of high school and a dozen years ago. I really can’t remember, though I suspect color guard practice was probably involved. It was a Thursday.

Are you in a good mood?
Yes. I’m almost always in a pretty good mood.

Have you ever had a girl best friend?
Yep. I’ve had guy best friends too.

How did your day start off?
Meh. Aladdin decided 5:30 was a good time for breakfast and my eye was all crusty because I have a cold and my tear ducts are blocked. However, I had a good breakfast and some of my ACV concoction and did some yoga. Plus I have the great weight off my mind of knowing that the weekend is no longer the only time I have to get things done, so I’m not rushing around.

What are you doing right now?
Filling out this survey and being lazy

Last time you really laughed?
Probably Thursday when Mia did this crazy little gymnastics routine during Circle Time.

Today did you hug a person you have feelings for?
I haven’t hugged anyone today, let alone anyone I have feelings for.

Who were you with around 8:00 last night?
My kitties =^..^=

Did you mean it when you said "I love you" last?
Of course… Unless I’m being obviously melodramatic, I always mean it.

Would it be hard seeing someone kiss the last person you kissed?
Yes! How would you feel if someone kissed your husband?

Is there someone you don’t ever want to be out of your life?
I definitely plan on Alan being around for quite a long time to come

Are you wasting your time on the person you like?
Well, I married Alan, so that’s hardly a waste of time. As for anyone else, since nothing could ever come of it, yeah, it’d be a waste of time.

Do you think more about the past, present, or future?
I probably exist most in the present, with fond glimpses of the past and hopeful stirrings about the future

Is there anybody you wish you could be spending time with right now?
Not really. I’m sick and rather enjoying my morning solitude

Which of your friends lives closest to you?
Either Gina or Stefanie

Do you still have feelings for your last ex?
Before Alan, Ira was my last boyfriend. And I do still have feelings… mostly of guilt at how I treated him. He’s a good guy.

Are you a 90’s baby?
1983… which means I can actually remember some of the 80’s

Last movie you saw?
In theaters? "Alice in Wonderland." On DVD "Made of Honor"

If someone was interested in you right now would you want them to tell you?
Yes. I’m leaving in a couple weeks anyway, so there’d be a minimum of awkwardness and I would find it very flattering.

Have you ever been called a bitch?
Yeah, but not often. Mostly I get called sweet.

Has there been a day this week you just wanted to say "fuck it"?
I kinda did on Friday, at least in regards to disciplining the kids for things I don’t actually object to. For some reason, the other teachers have a problem with the kids being on the wood chips by the stairs, but it’s not something I really wanted to get worked up over. And I let Elizabeth stay awake at nap longer than I should have because she’s so charmingly cute and cuddly.

If someone were to ask you if you were okay right now, are you?
Of course. I have a cold, but it’s not like it’s the end of the world.

Are you easy to get along with?
I’m a little reserved and some people take that for coldness or arrogance, but it’s just shyness. Once you get past that, I’m perfectly amiable

Do you love someone with all of your heart?
No. My heart has space for many people and many types of love.

Your ex says they want you back, will you be there with open arms?
Sorry, guys. A day late and a dollar short.

Are you an emotional person?
Yes, but I’m also very pragmatic.

Who are you currently talking to/ texting/ instant messaging anyone?
Nope. Alan’s 3 hours behind, and anyone else I text with is either asleep or having nice quiet Sunday morning, like me.

Do you feel that your previous relationships were a waste of time?
Not at all! I think each relationship taught me more about who I was and who I wanted to be.

Have you had any beer this week?
I never drink… beer. (said with a thick Romanian accent a la Dracula). I really don’t though.

You’re locked in a room with the person you last kissed, any problems?
No, other than the problem of getting out of a locked room.

Do your parents know EVERYTHING about you?
My parents know many things about me, but not everything. We have separate lives now. So there’s less instinct to keep secrets, but less reason to divulge every detail.

Does it bother you when people lie to make themselves look better?
No… They’re trying to take on some aspects of their ideal self. And there’s a lot to be said for the power of suggestion, even when the suggestion is coming from oneself.

What time did you wake up this morning?
5:30

This time last year, were you single?
No, I was married. As a matter of fact, I still am.

When is the last time someone of the opposite sex gave you a hug?
Bryce hugged me on Friday. ^_^

Ever let someone be your everything?
Yes, and it was a mistake. I am my everything. Everyone else just makes me that much better and happier.

Name something you dislike about the day you’re having?
My nose is all stuffed up and I should probably do laundry.

Have you cried today at all?
Yeah. My mom’s cousin (my first cousin, once removed) sent me an e-mail about the story of "Taps." Sappy stuff, but I couldn’t help crying.

What is your favorite color?
Red or purple

Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Alan might be and maybe my parents. Maybe even Zach and Lisa and my cousin Nora, since she just confirmed me as a friend on Facebook.

Do you and your best friend look anything alike?
Well, my best friend is Alan, and we do have features in common. Tall, similar eye color, curly hair, although his is a bit darker.

When was the last time that you were truly happy?
I’m almost always happy.

Has a guy ever called you babe/baby?
Yeah of course.

Are you and the last person you kissed in a relationship or just friends?
I think marriage counts as a relationship, don’t you?

What’s something you really want right now?
I think I’d like an English muffin

Do you say sorry first?
Haha… No! Because even if I’m wrong, I have a hard time admitting it.

If the last person you kissed, saw you kissing someone else, would they be mad?
Oh yes. Then again, why would I be stupid enough to let my husband see me kissing someone else, yeah?

I’m going to go toast an English muffin now. ^_^
