If Jane from Utah likes Pepsi better than Coke in a taste test that doesn't stop me from wantin my damn coke. i mean really! extending peer pressure to advertising for soda!?!? thats just sad.

39. Piercings: None, but if I didn't have this horrible fear of pain and dying i'd get a cartilidge piercing, a tiny hoop with a star on it. it would look soo cute but it would hurt...

50. Silliest person you know: Kimmy
51. Loudest person you know: Julie Geyer. She is so loud. She didn't win "loudest" in the senior superlatives for nothing.

57. Have you ever broken the law? I don't think so... we told a waiter at Olive Garden once that it was someone's birthday when it really wasn't... but I don't think that's illegal... and I speed all the time. And I recently got a parking ticket.

63. Had a medical emergency? see #59
64. Been hospitalized? I was born in a hospital... does that count?

~*~?~*~THE FUTURE~*~?~*~> >

67. Number of Kids: none.
68. Job: English teacher. Or professor.
69. Spouse: someone who appreciates my dorkiness, eccentricity, frequent estrogen frenzies, politically themed rants, endless phone ramblings, poetry obsession, habits of singing random little songs, and loves me fervently in spite of and because of those things.

~*~?~*~DO YOU BELIEVE IN...~*~?~*~
70. Love at first sight? attraction, lust, and love are all totally different but all too often confused things. I believe that the first time you see someone you can be attracted to them, and i believe that lust can be at first sight too, but love is something that you can't just fall into after 5 seconds of looking at a person. I have a much different, more stringent definition of love than the general population.
71. God? don't see why not but i don't think he particularly gives a care about me. I'm an agnostic ::listens to the jeers of hardcore intellectual atheists, spewing Ayn Rand in the midst of their incredulous guffaws:: hey SHUT UP!!!
72. Aliens? sure, why not. This universe is ungodly large... there's gotta be life somewhere... But I'm not gonna get all hyper about it.
73. Horoscopes? what a bunch of tripe they are. i totally believe in fortune cookies though... "eat cookie!!!"
74. Ghosts? Nope. I believe that when you die, you rot.
75. Yourself? if I don't, who will? once you lose belief in yourself, belief in anything else is absolutely worthless. [i hope i'm the first person to have said that because it sounds really great...]

~*~?~*~ ABOUT THE SAME SEX!~*~?~*~ NOTE: Modify where appropriate [in my case, it was opposite sex]
76. What do you notice first? usually overall body type, then face, then hair, then eyes and eyebrows and hands and things like that.

78. Hair- curly or straight? Oh, curly hair is infinitely sexy.
79. Hair- brown (:
80. Eyes? I'm very, very partial to brown.
81. Things you hate most about them? when they try not to hurt you but only end up doing so more.
82. Things you love most about them? who knows. the simultaneous thrill and comfort of being near them.
83. Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Single right now? boyfriend (:
84. Ever been in love? yeah, I'm leaning towards a definite yes on this one.
85. Hardest thing you just had to learn about the same sex? It's not as easy to fall out of love with them as it is to fall in love with them - totally, and see #81
86. Dream Lover? someone who sees me

~*~?~*~ WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU...~*~?~*~> >
87. Took a shower/bath?: today
88. Cried: september 12th, 2001. I was on the bus, on the way to school, when we passed the Dairy Queen and on their sign they put up "pray for the victims" - I don't pray, but just seeing that really affected me, and I cried quiet tears until we got to the bowling alley and I composed myself.
89. Watched "Bambi?": i don't even remember. A loooong time ago.
90. Went to an amusement park? May 2002, Six Flags Great Adventure... I recommend Nitro. Scary as hell.
91. Got kicked out of some place? I got kicked out of the library when I was a junior. aren't i so hardcore.
92. Got a real letter? I received an Acceptance from Mount Holyoke... that was a pretty great letter.

~*~?~*~WHAT IS...~*~?~*~
93. Your most prized possession? my cds. couldn't live without them. i think if i lost them id cry more over them than the threat of nuclear annihilation. that and my journals. i could always buy new cds but i can never, ever replace my thoughts etc. Oh yes... and my baby... my laptop. Oh yes... and my poetry books. and my love letters box.
94. Worst song you've ever heard? wannabe, spice girls. hands down. God how I hated that song.
95. Most embarrassing CD you have in your collection? I don't buy embarrassing cd's. I'm far too cheap.
96. Your favorite thing for breakfast? cold pizza hut pizza all the way. it just does not get better than that.
97. Your favorite thing for lunch? KFC or Applebees or Subway.
98. Your favorite thing for dinner? Sleshingers Penne Pasta. ::MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... pasta...:: or Chris's moms rice and beans.
99. Best thing that happened to you today? i woke up... my day would kind of suck if i didn't wake up... unless of course, i woke up, and just stayed in bed, and that would be a pretty good day too...

~*~?~*~ WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT...~*~?~*~
100. Abortion? I don't think that I would ever have one, but I don't think I'm in a position to make that choice for other people, so I'm pro choice, especially with rape and incest.
101. Religion? religion is a good thing when it brings people together and helps humanity achieve great things. religion is a horrible horrible thing when you look at it in the context of the Religious Right, and the Inquisition, and the obliteration of the Native American culture, and Fred Phelps [the god hates fags guy.]
102. the Mind: what? do you mean the human mind? i think it is an exhorbitantly fascinating thing.
103. Hanson? why don't they go away? Oh wait... they have...
104. Alternative music? yeah, sure.
105. Country? Not the biggest fan but I have a roomate from Texas [yeah Sarah!] so I'll be nice (:
106. Rap? I firmly believe that Eminem should have all his vital internal organs removed by a tiny rabid badger. Or maybe several large ones. But other than that, I have no real opposition to rap. I don't like the "hey bitch why don't you strip for me while i beat up this cop" genre of rap, but I like anything that makes me shake my booty. Hit Em Up Style by Blu Cantrell is an excellent example of great rap. "Oops Oh My" by Tweet is an example of awesome feminist rap.
107. Classical? not really but whatever
108. Oldies? define "old"
109. 60's? sure. "Dream a little dream of me" by the mamas and the papas is one of my all time favorite songs.
110. Punk? its alright
111. R&B? sure.

~*~?~*~ WHO... ~*~?~*~
112. Gives you the best advise & on what? Chris gives me advice on everything.
113. Do you go to for advice? well obviously it would be the same as above... why the hell would i go to someone who would give me bad advice?
114. Do you hate? eh, I donno.
115. Do you love? my friends. and Dan, but I consider him one of my friends. On the Friends/Lovers Venn diagram, he's both in his own category and in the middle.
116. Knows most about you? Chris... we're practically the same person, except chris has a y chromosome. and Dan knows a lot about me too.
117. Has it easier, guy or girls? Guys. Girls have to fight harder to get farther. Plus, there's the sexual double standard.

~*~?~*~ OTHERS ~*~ ? ~*~
118. Do you ever save AOL conversations? when they are important.
119. Do you save e-mails? yeah, esp amusing ones. my "cool old stuff" in my netscape account must be like 65,874,920,952 megabytes or whatever by now.
120 How many people do you have on your buddy list? i have no idea. some largish number. maybe like 40 or something.

122. What do you usually do online? talk and hunt for mp3s and listen to playlists and check my email every five minutes and read Salon.com.
123. What is some of the best quotes from movies or songs? visit my quotes page. also, its what are some of the best quotes. get it right.
