batskeetsGot through the day, somehow. I have snacky goodness for the trip, and I have hairpins that won't cause me injury. I also have a crochet hook, so ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
junsiew can show me how to crochet a hat when we're in the van this weekend. I've decided that circular knitting needles are too much of a pain, especially since all the circulars I find are either too short, or waaaayy too long for a hat. :p
I have a web site to at least try and get going tonight, because they want it done by the end of this week, meaning that I have to get it done before I leave. Then, I will watch Survivor and CSI, and head off to work a couple hours after that. I also have to fax my timecard in before I leave in the morning. BEH. All I want to do right now is sleep. :p
SURVEY TAIMU
1. What is your full name? Sarah Lorraine Giffrow
2. What color trousers are you wearing now: Jeans, of course.
3. What are you listening to right now? Right now, "Salvation" by Rancid is on. As far as stuff that Mr. Computer doesn't randomly choose for me, I've been rotating between Cake's "Fashion Nugget" and U2's "The Joshua Tree" albums. Oh, and the new J-Rock mix I made the other day, too.
4. What are the last 2 digits of your phone number? 77. Or 35, depending on which one you mean.
5. What was the last thing you ate: A bit of Apple Spice bread.
6. If you were a crayon what color would you be: Probably Brick Red or Midnight Blue.
7. How is the weather right now? The sun is out! I think I may die of shock. :)
8. Last person you talked to on the phone:junsiew, telling her to come down to the car so we could go to Wal-Mart.
9. The first thing you notice about the opposite sex: I think the first thing I really pay attention to is the person's general demeanor--sometimes, I can get an oddly accurate sense of what sort of person they are, just by being around them. But, if you're looking for physical attributes, then I'd say eyes and smile.
10. How are you today? Sore, sore, sore! And tired. And kicking myself for forgetting my allergy medication yesterday, because I'm sure that's part of the general icky feeling.
12. Favorite Alcoholic drink: Wow, I'm not sure. The most recent thing I had that I liked was a "Wootini" (hee) at Outback Steakhouse.
13. Favorite Sport: Basebaaaaall! :D Wushu is probably my favorite one to participate in right now, but I haven't played baseball in a while. I'll play just about anything, really.
14. Hair Color: Dark brown with some red highlight.
15. Eye Color: Hazel, or so they say.
16. Do you wear contacts: Well, I don't need them, because my vision isn't that bad. Also, the idea of jamming something into my eye is not particularly appealing. I love my glasses. <3
17. Siblings: None.
18. Favorite Month: September or May. Any time when the temperature hangs out around 70 degrees, and the allergens aren't too bad.
19. Favorite Food: Chinese, because it reminds me of family; Japanese, because it reminds me of good friends; and Italian, because it's darn tasty and I'm good at making it. I've been craving Thai as of late, though. :)
20. Last Movie you watched: Orange County.
21. Favorite Day of the Year: Christmas. :)
22. Are you too shy to ask someone out? Why, NO, why would you think something like that?? ASDFKSDFLKAH! But, in all seriousness, I know that I *am* capable of doing it, because I have before. Just not often. ^^; It takes a lot of time and outside encouragement before I'll get on it, generally. And some positive feedback from the boy of choice helps.
23. Summer or Winter: Summer. The sun seems to make everything seem better. I can't stay motivated as well in the winter.
24. Hugs or Kisses: Uh, both? Heh. Kisses are interesting, and have a lot of appeal when you are first exploring that territory with another person, but I think that hugs win out, in the long term. And, you can hug with a lot more people. :)
25. Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate, although they are great together.
26. Do you want your friends to respond back: Sure, if they feel like it.
27. Who is most likely to respond: Hrm...december_clouds, perhaps? Or, whoever happens to be up late tonight, working on homework or a paper. :)
28: Who is least likely to respond:simurgh, because he sent me this thing in the first place.
29. Living Arrangements: Shared apartment.
31. What's on your mouse pad: I don't have one--an optical mouse is truly superior. Before that, though, I had an Evangelion mouse pad.
32. Favorite Board Game? Risk! Diplomacy is good, too. I haven't played enough board games lately.
33. What did you do last night: Freelanced, made dinner, watched TV, and went to work. Wheee. ;p
34. Favorite Smells: Bread baking in the oven, my favorite blanket fresh out of the dryer, my flowery la la shampoo, vanilla, oranges. Beh, I can't think of any others.
35. Can you touch your nose with your tongue: Sort of. I can get up to the septum, but not to the tip.
36. What inspires you: The people in my life.
37. Buttered, plain or salted popcorn: Lightly salted, usually with a bit of butter, so the salt will stick evenly. Just as long as it's real butter, and not that freaky yellow grease that comes out of the pump at the movie theater.
38. Favorite Flower: There are these specific orchids that I like, that my ma sometimes has. I can't find a good photo, though.
39. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? "Wow, it's the afternoon!"
40. Do you still talk to your best friend from high school? Not so much, as of late... primarily because we're both busy, we live 100 miles away from each other, I'm poor, and I hate making social phone calls.
41. Pets: None. :( I want something cute and furry!
42. Rock Concert or Symphony: Depends on my mood. Rock shows are the most fun, but a classical performance can affect me in ways that contemporary music generally doesn't.
43. Play or Opera: Musicals are generally my favorites, and I think those are generally counted as plays.
44. Have you ever fired a gun? No, and that's fine by me.
45. Do you like to travel by plane: Uh, I guess? It's kind of boring, the food isn't very good, and I always feel lightheaded and sleepy while we're in the air. It's more interesting to ride in smaller planes, though. (i.e. Cessnas)
46. Right-handed or Left-handed: Left-handed. I'm one of those backwards people!
47. Smooth Peanut Butter or Chunky Peanut Butter: Depends on the application.
48. How many pillows do you sleep with: 3, but that's mainly because they're kind of flat. ^^;
49. City you were born in: Long Beach, CA.
50. What do you drive: Ed, a.k.a. my 2004 Toyota Corolla. :D
51. How many children/grandchildren do you have? Buh? I'm not ready for children.
52. What month were you born in? April! Buymepresentsplzkthx!
