batskeetsFreakin' Naruto. Because of the dialogue on that show, I've suddenly been prefacing my sentences with "Anou sa! Anou sa!" XD
So, I meant to get up early this morning and study for the writing assessment, but I didn't get up early enough. This is largely due to the fact that, even though I was trying to sleep around midnight, I couldn't fall asleep until much later because it was too fscking HOT in my apartment! It's still awful in here, because I think today is even worse, temperature-wise. God. I should put more aluminum foil on the windows--it'd look like a cave in here, but at least it wouldn't be so hot. :p
Speaking of the heat, it's good that we don't have to pay for the water bill in this building, because recently I've been taking two showers a day, sometimes three. I really don't enjoy this sticky heat.
Anyway, the writing assessment was okay and everything--I don't think I was quite as tuned in as usual, though. I think the Frewt Newts presentation yesterday triggered my usual process of winding down around this time, b/c usually I just have a bunch of projects due during Dead Week, and *maybe* one final exam. This term, however, features two final exams and all those *lovely* assessments. Geh, I have to keep the momentum going just a bit longer...
I went to the bank today after CIT, and came back, and it's been a pretty boring day. I missed the arrival of my Ignition mat, which bums me out. I have ~4 hours until I go to DDS. I traded with Tyler, bless his heart, so I wouldn't sleep through my assessment this morning. But wow, I really don't want to work tonight.
I attempted to do this survey a couple weeks ago while I was at the day job, but the stupid web client ate it.
LAYER ONE:
-- Name: Sarah. (Duh.)
-- Birth date: April 27
-- Birthplace: Long Beach, CA
-- Current Location: Eugene, OR
-- Eye Color: Brown/Green
-- Hair Color: Currently? Brown w/red highlight, and blue streaks. :D Naturally, it's very dark brown.
-- Height: 5'7", give or take. My posture tends to suck.
-- Righty or Lefty: LEFT! I do switch-hit, though. And I use scissors with my right hand, for some reason. Maybe because the "lefty" scissors in elementary school were always so crappy. ;p
-- Zodiac Sign: Taurus.
LAYER TWO:
-- Your heritage: 1/2 Chinese (native Taiwanese, specifically), 1/2 crazy Euro-blend that includes German, Swedish, and Scottish.
-- The shoes you wore today: Blue retro sneaks!
-- Your weakness: Staying up too late, just not sleeping in general, procrastinating, and being easily distracted. Also, coming up with random projects when I should be doing something more important. ::rotfl::
-- Your fears: Being stuck in one phase of life without being able to move on to the next when I want to. (yes, college was starting to feel like this, up until recently) It also drives me nuts when someone is justly angry with me.
-- Your perfect pizza: Hawaiian! (Canadian bacon and pineapple)
-- Goal you'd like to achieve: Well, my ultimate goal is the happiness of myself and those I care about, but there are a lot of sub-goals involved in achieving that.
LAYER THREE:
-- Your most overused phrase on AIM: Either "LOL", "OMFG", or "ASDKFASDLKFHASDLKFH!!!" God, I'm a dork. XD
-- Your thoughts first waking up: It usually involves an internal debate about how long I can put off actually getting up. The whole thing of not sleeping tends to contribute to this. ;p
-- Your best physical feature: Eyes, lips, and my hearty bustline! ::laughs:: And my hair is awesome, short or long. Hee. :D
-- Your bedtime: Uh, when it's dark? ::asdklfhasdlfkhasdklf:: I guess I usually land somewhere between midnight and 3a.
-- Your most missed memory: Doing stuff with my dad, and also spending time w/the friends I don't see as much these days.
LAYER FOUR:
-- Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi. Well, unless the Coke contains vanilla... <3
-- McDonald's or Burger King: BK! Their fries are far superior in texture, and their burgers are bigger.
-- Single or group dates: Eh. Group dates are more fun and less intimidating at first. But single dates are more intimate and better for bonding.
-- Adidas or Nike: Uh, none of the above? I don't care about brand names. And besides, I wear a size 11; I can't be *that* choosy about athletic footwear.
-- Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Either one, I don't have a preference.
-- Chocolate or vanilla: I have a strange weakness for vanilla soft-serve, but in general? Chocolate.
-- Cappuccino or coffee: BOTH! :D But in reality, it's all about flavoured mochas.
LAYER FIVE:
-- Smoke: Ugh, you couldn't pay me enough.
-- Cuss: Probably more than I should--I tend to be more lax when I haven't slept, and I cuss like a sailor when I'm behind the wheel. ::laughs::
-- Sing: Not as much as I'd like. I sing along with whatever's on, but I really want to get involved in a performing group again, when I have the time.
-- Take a shower everyday: Of course, unless I actually have time for a bath.
-- Have a crush(es): Well, I guess I'm a lover of men! I have frivolous crushes occasionally, usually on people I admire, but none of them are of any consequence.
-- Do you think you've been in love: Definitely, and currently. :)
-- Want to go to college: I already have, and I'm chomping at the bit to get done with it! Maybe grad school sometime in the future, but definitely not soon.
-- Like(d) high school: I had a lot of fun in high school, and it enhanced my love of people and of performing so much. I wouldn't want to go back to it, or anything, but I liked it.
-- Want to get married: Well, of course. I'm a great big mushball when it comes to these things. :)
-- Believe in yourself: Yeah, most of the time. If I seriously commit myself to something, I know I'll succeed at it.
-- Get motion sickness: Nope. Toss me on that rollercoaster! :D
-- Think you're attractive: Eh, I don't really think about it much these days. I'd say I'm pretty cute, but I think I intimidate people too much for anyone to really notice. ::shrug::
-- Get along with your parent(s): We certainly had our rough spots in the past, but we get along pretty famously these days.
-- Like thunderstorms: Ooo, fun!
-- Play an instrument: I can play piano, and I can at least fake it on other keyboard instruments. I also play a bit of guitar, and I'm still in the process of learning. I'm thinking I may take up bass, too. I'll start that punk band yet!
LAYER SIX:
In the past month...
-- Drank alcohol: I don't think so, although I swilled some al-key-hol on my birthday.
-- Smoked: Ick. No thank you.
-- Done a drug: Nah, never really saw the point of it. Drugs are bad, mmkay?
-- Made Out: Hee hee hee. :D
-- Gone on a date: Not really a *formal* date, per se, but I've been out with the Boy quite a bit, yes.
-- Gone to the mall?: No, except for movie-watching purposes.
-- Eaten an entire box of Oreos: WTF? Maybe a few cookies, but that's about my limit.
-- Eaten sushi: Not only did I eat sushi, but I made my own, because I am TEH 一番! ^_-
-- Been dumped: No, obviously. ;p
-- Gone skating: Unfortunately, no. I'm a hell of a rollerskater. :D
-- Made homemade cookies: Yes, although they didn't actually make it to the JSO bake sale they were intended for... ::laughs::
-- Gone skinny dipping: I haven't even been swimming. Who has the time?
-- Dyed your hair: Yes, although I'm a bit overdue on a reapply.
-- Stolen anything: No.
LAYER SEVEN:
Ever...
-- Played a game that required removal of clothing: Yeah, although I made up an excuse to leave when I realized that I wasn't terribly interested in seeing any of those people nude. ;p
-- If so, was it mixed company: Of course. It's kind of silly, otherwise.
-- Been trashed or extremely intoxicated: Yes, but not often. I hold my liquor ridiculously well, and rare is the occasion when I can afford 8 or more shots' worth of alcohol.
-- Been caught "doing something": No. Jeez, people.
-- Been called a tease: Not seriously :)
-- Gotten beaten up: Nah. Most people seem to think that I can kick their ass. ::laughs::
-- Shoplifted: I yanked a piece of candy at the grocery store when I was ~4 years old. But other than that? The guilt would totally get to me.
-- Changed who you were to fit in: Hello, junior high. :p
LAYER EIGHT:
-- Age you hope to be married: I don't have a particular age in mind. Just sometime when I have the time and resources to plan a cool wedding without causing my head to explode.
-- Numbers and Names of Children: Not more than 2. The first will probably be Cameron, regardless of gender. :) Other than that, I'm not sure, but it'd be a less common name.
-- Describe your Dream Wedding: It'd be perfect as long as the proper groom was in place. ^_- The main things I want are a long and poofy dress, great food, and all my family and friends present. And I'd provide my own playlist for the reception, of course!
-- How do you want to die: In my sleep, hopefully when I'm very, very old.
-- Where you want to go to college: I'm pretty okay with the UO, actually.
-- What do you want to be when you grow up: Aren't I a grown-up already? ::laughs:: But seriously, I'd like to do web dev/design. Or something that lets me be artsy *and* sciency, because I'm one of those evil fence-sitters. (I'll also tell you that I like Macs *and* PCs! Ohohohoho!!)
-- What country would you most like to visit: Duh, JAPAN of course. ;p Although I would really like to go to Taiwan and visit my family there, especially b/c I haven't seen any of them since I was probably 8 years old.
LAYER NINE:
In a guy/girl..
-- Best eye color? It depends on the person. I love green and dark brown, though.
-- Best hair color? I tend to go for black/brown these days.
-- Short or long hair: Short, definitely, although I prefer a floppy kind of short, so some length is good. Shaved heads need not apply.
-- Height: At least as tall as I am, or taller. Fortunately, I'm just short enough that this hasn't really been a problem.
-- Best weight: I tend to go for slender guys, but really, scales are full of dirty lies.
-- Best articles of clothing: JEANS THAT FIT. (Yes, I'm a butt person) Although sometimes a simple t-shirt can be really flattering to the torso.
-- Best first date location: Somewhere that lets you talk a lot and get to know each other, and just have fun in general. Simply going out for coffee can sometimes be good enough. Just President of Burundi coffee, though. ::laughs::
-- Best first kiss location: Who cares, as long as you're both feeling it?
LAYER TEN:
-- Number of people I could trust with my life: 4
-- Number of CDs that I own: ~120, not including those that I've burned myself.
-- Number of piercings: Two in each ear, and that's plenty for me.
-- Number of tattoos: Zero. If I ever got one, it'd be a small one in a seldom-seen place. ^_-
-- Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: I've been in the Ol' Dirty a couple times, and I've been in city papers a few times, too. I've lost track.
-- Number of scars: The only really visible ones are a knife cut on my finger, and both my knees. The worse of the two required 9 stitches! Hoo hoo!
-- Number of things in my past that I regret: It's not that I regret anything, it's just *how* I did a few things. There's nothing I'd take back if I thought it would keep me from getting to where I am now, though, because I like how I've turned out so far. :)
