spiff and kelley's hella long survey

 

It's Sunday night, and I've been in bed for almost two days straight. I feel like writing, but lack inspiration. Apparently, my pillow is not much of a muse. Neither is Jolie, who is content to sleep at my feet.


Do this because the person who did this didn't sit here for ages for nothing. Answer all the questions honestly, no lying to avoid stuff.

Single

Happy about that:
slightly depressed, if you must know

Siblings:
Becca in Seattle, Claudia in Ohio

polluted pacific blue-grey

Height:
5'7"

What are you wearing right now?
Burgundy yoga pants and Sophia's Jaci Velasquez t-shirt that I stole after pouring water all over myself in a nyquil-induced stupor Friday night. It was the closest dry article of clothing. Until just now when i sneezed. Sick = gross and i'm done being it.

Can you make a dollar in change right now:
It's cute how you think i actually have cash

It's who you're with that matters, but personally, my heart is easily won near the ocean

don't care.

Animal:
turtle, cow, butterfly, giraffe, monkey, dolphin, whale, starfish, dog, elephant, cat, horse, you get the picture? ;)

Drink(non alcoholic):
water

i miss playing tennis. The habit died when the weather got cold, it got dark sooner, and holiday busyness ruled. Perhaps that shall be revived soonly

Month:
December, March, anything warm and sunny

Jamba!

Favorite cartoon character:
Depends on my mood. Today, i'll pick the Smurfs and the Simpsons.

Been in a sauna?
briefly... not my thing. i like to breathe, thanks

Been in a hotub?
yup.. when we were little my parents' friends had one. We'd be outdoors in the snow in the hot tub. No wonder we were sick half the winter. More recently, at the hotel in San Diego.

Swam in the ocean?
my favorite place to swim. If it weren't so cold and i weren't so sick, that's totally what i am in the mood to do right now

Fallen asleep in school?
All the time. Usually thanks to a combo of tylenol and cough syrup that battled my annual cold. I have the chemistry notes to show each time I nodded off, and each time Heidi Hammontree woke me up.

Ran away?
dreamt about it, until i was old enough and mature enough that it was no longer "running" but "relocating" instead

Broken someone's heart?
Maybe.

Cried when someone died?
Yes.

Cried in school?
When i was younger, until I learned that crying in public never ended well. Then i quit crying in front of any people ever.

not anymore

"This I Believe II" by Jay Allison- an NPR project about individual beliefs

any answer is going to sound cliche and gushy. Right now, my nose not burning from too many kleenex, and lungs able to get full capacity oxygen would be lovely

Cement chunk from the Twin Towers

36. Worst favorite color?
What i think is the worst color is obviously not my favorite, but if it's someone else's favorite, then it's not the worst to them. So really the color opinion is all subjective, and as any observant person knows, the appeal of any given color depends on its context. So this question is actually quite pointless and a waste of time on a survey so long there is no way that any person has actually read all the way through to this point.
