01)Serious elationship?
-Yes. =D
02) Dream growing up?
-To change the world, even in a small way, for the better.
03) Talent you wish you had?
-Any musical talent--vocals, instrument, composition, etc.
04) If I bought you a drink?
-Right now, you can buy me a great Almond Bubble Milk Tea.
05) Fav. vegetable?
-Eggplant. Hands down.
06) Last book you read?
-New book: "Love In Translation"-Wendy Nelson Tokunaga. Reread: "Snowcrash"-Neal Stephenson.
07) Zodiac?
-Leo!
08) Tattoos and/or Piercings?
-2 piercings in each ear.
09) Worst Habit?
-Starting a book I know I can't put down when I won't finish before it's super late.
10) Walking down the street, ride?
-If I could believe that I was actually seeing you, sure.
11) Fav. sport?
-Play: soccer, tennis, badminton. Watch: Tennis (and only if given no other option).
12) Pessimistic or Optimistic?
-I like to think of myself as a Realist. It really depends on what it is. I can't just say I have a single, all-time-blanket attitude towards things. I try to be more fair than that.
13) Stuck in an elevator with me?
-Chat. Maybe panic because of my claustrophobia. If it's the elevator I got stuck in while in that hotel in Spain, then I will probably be screaming and crying. Like I did then as well. XD
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
-Eeehhh...probably college.
15) One weird fact.
-I used to make lists about random facts about myself.
16) Pets?
-Only in spirit, but I still think of Chico as "my cat" even though he's with my mom in FL.
17) I show up at your house unexpectedly?
-Depends. Today? Say, "Hey! Stick around and you can celebrate my birthday! Yay!" But, if it was inconvenient for me, I would turn you away. I'm not afraid of telling people to go away, when they've chosen not to respect the fact that I may not desire or may not be in a position to accept company.

18) First impression?
-"She doesn't SEEM like a stalker..."
19)Clowns = cute or scary?
-Depends on the clown. "IT" = scary. Chibi anime clown = cute.
20) Change one thing about your looks?
-Oh god. Only one? ....probably my eye color. I would love to have inherited my mom's green eyes instead of some far-away ancestor who had very dark brown eyes.
21) Crime partner or Conscience?
-Conscience, though it might depend on the crime. Revenge, or theft, are enormously selfish actions that take a person out of context of the whole of humanity, and that's not right. But, breaking into the Pentagon to hault the launch of more bombs on other people...I'd be okay with that.
22) Eye color?
-.......T.T
23) Arrested?
-Hah! No. Not even close.
24) Bottle or can soda?
-GLASS BOTTLE!
25) You win $10k?
-Put away all but $3k into my checking account to be used to contribute to the household. The $3k I'd send to my friend Milly.
26) Fav. hang out?
-Honestly? I enjoy going out, but my favorite hangout has always been my bedroom, regardless of which house it was.
27) Ghosts?
-Only in a deep-rooted-horror-movie-inspired way. I don't think I believe in the existence of the soul, not given my neurobiology and biology background. And since I don't think we're anything super special that transcends the time we're alive, I can't believe in ghosts. But, oh god. The idea of seeing something/someone other than me in the mirror, either standing where I'm supposed to, or just in the background (when no one is really there) makes me want to break down and run screaming into the sunlight. T.T
28) Fav. thing to do in your spare time?
-Read. Watch movies. Play video games. =D
29) Do you swear a lot?
-Sometimes. I certainly wouldn't make it as a professional rapper, if that's what you're asking. But, I do swear on a daily basis.
30) Biggest pet peeve?
-When people say that they are going "up" or "down" when it's the opposite in regards to actual North/South orientation. Such as a friend of mine living south of me saying, "I'll come down to you soon." Or someone living north of me saying, "Oh, I'd like to go up and see you sometime." NO! WRONG! IT'S WRONG!!! "UP" is traveling NORTH and "DOWN" is traveling SOUTH!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!!!
31) You in one word?
-Fair.
32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
-Totally! Well, okay. Tailored-specifically-for-me-Athena romance. I don't dig just general "all girls like this" bullshit. Puhlease.
33) Fav. & least fav. food?
-Spicy eggplant+tofu. Any type of soup (it looks too much like regurgitated food for me to eat it...especially if it has vegetables in it, then the veggies SQUISH like already-partially-digested food...)
34) Believe in God?
-No. Sometimes I wish I still did...but, there's no room for God in my understanding of the world.
35) Repost?
-Sure! =D

I assure you, I am no stalker, unless you consider me eagerly reading your entries daily as stalking ;) I also would never show up to your house unannounced! Rejection anxiety rules, and I'm not that rude. What happened in the elevator in Spain?!?!! I've never had eggplant to my knowledge, so I will definitely have to seek some out and make a tofu+eggplant dish. Probably not spicy though, because I am a BABY about spice. I enjoyed your explanation about ghosts, I imagine on my deep level I feel that way in terms of biology and transcendence (but superstitions about ghosts I grew up with are hard to break on the superficial level), and I 100% AGREE on the terrifying monster/ghost/poltergeist thing.

My bad. I didn't realize I was supposed to post this in a comment.

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
Yea, I'm married. My anniversary is the 25th of September. It really doesn't get more serious than that. Well, I suppose it does. I mean, he could get cancer, or become a vegetable and I could have to change his diapers and spoon feed him. But let's hope it doesn't get there.
02) What was your dream growing up?
To be a paleontologist. That shit sure didn't happen lol.
03) What talent do you wish you had?
I sometimes wish I liked math.
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
shot of brandy or a glass of Riesling
05) Favorite vegetable?
green beans
06) What was the last book you read?
"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot
07) What zodiac sign are you?
Taurus. I get along best with scorpios, I find.
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
Just my ears. They were done when I was a baby.
09) Worst Habit?
Self-doubt
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
If I didn't already know you/know of you, probably not. No offense but you just can't take the Jersey out of the girl.
11) What is your favorite sport?
channel surfing
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?
Pessimistic. Isn't it weird how I'm usually right, though?
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Pull out the 52 card deck and beat you at black jack until you were out of money. Maybe. More likely I'd probably talk to you.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Sorry, I just don't keep a track record.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
There isn't really anything unusual about me that I can think of
16) Do you have any pets?
Yes. A pembroke welsh corgi named Roxy. She is red and white and likes to chew on things.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
Okay? Come in, please. Don't try anything if you like your limbs where they are. Do you like cherry pie? I just baked three. It's so nice to meet you.
18) What was your first impression of me?
"Hey, this chick seems nice enough, let me friend her back."

19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Creepy. Any grown adult who enjoys putting on costumes and heavy make up and spending the bulk of their time around young children is one creepy mother fucker in my book.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
I would grow 7 inches.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
I'd tell you that you were being fucking stupid and walk away. Conscience, I guess?
22) What color eyes do you have?
Hazel, though they are most often green. They occasionally turn storm cloud gray.
23) Ever been arrested?
Nope.
24) Bottle or can soda?
Bottle. It holds carbonation better and keeps dairy products fresh longer.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Put it in a short term CD with the highest interest I could find. Upon maturation, I would disperse it to my money market account and use the principle and accrued interest to help pay for my M.A. Ed.
26) What's your favorite place to hang out at?
I like coffee shops, but we don't have a lot of those around here. It's the one of the only acceptable places someone not in high school can hang out without being weird. Every once in a while I hang out at Barnes and Nobel.
27) Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes.
28) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Work on my stories.
29) Do you swear a lot?
Not in public. Not even really so much in private either unless I'm angry about something.
30) Biggest pet peeve?
Disorganization. Disorder will drive me insane quickly.
31) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
I'm a lot more than one word.
32) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
I guess. But because I see love differently than most, I find traditional romance bothersome. You can't just show up with roses and expect me to swoon. It has to be way more thoughtful, insightful and subtle for me to be touched.
33) Favorite and least favorite food?
STEAK NOMNOMNOM. Nice and rare. I have a complex pallet, but nothing beats a fat marbled steak with a nice smooth Bordeaux. I hate rice pudding.
34) Do you believe in God?
Yes. Are you surprised?
35) Will you re-post this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
I'm filling this out and you're reading it so...Yea

I love your dry manner of epxression, a lot! And I would love some pie, tyvm ^_^ Clowns are stupid outside of cartoons. Steak is delicious, but I like mine lean and well-done. I've never gotten flowers as a surprise (only on holidays, if ever), and I think we all have our specific ideas of romance. Your worst habit of self-doubt is a really good answer (I sometimes have trouble deciding whether mine is superficial, as they come to mind faster, or if I can pinpoint a deep-rooted one). I WOULD be surprised about your beliefs in God had I not read your entry on the subject! I enjoy how specifically you would save your 10k. :)
