[7:13 PM]
Name: Amy
Nickname: the usual suspects--Aim, Aimster, Gerb...
Birthday: [redacted]
Birthplace: [redacted]
Current mood: Trying valiantly to forget the throbbing headache that has returned.
Current music: "Life Got in the Way" (Sister Hazel), a la iPod
Current taste: Republic of Tea Apricot decaf
Current hair: Blond! It returned this afternoon
Current clothes: Gray long-sleeved t-shirt, a gift from the Big Banana's last trip to Hawaii. She leaves for another early tomorrow morning. Teal & turquoise flannel PJ pants. NB ankle socks.
Current annoyance: Headache. Neighbors. Throwing away my Pepper Steak, thinking it was Matt's Scallops & Something, last night. So much for leftovers!
Current smell: Apricot tea and beaucoup hairspray from the salon experience.
Current thing I ought to be doing: Repotting the Dwarf Sansiveria that's been plunked in the middle of the living room for the last four days.
Current desktop picture: None. At work, I've been using that at right
Current favorite band: Sister Hazel. Or Train. Or Limp Bizkit. Or...
Current book: Essential Zen.
Current CD in stereo: No stereo. I'm shuffling Sister Hazel on the iPod
Current crush: The stubborn 'U'.
Current favorite celeb: Jet Li. Or Julian McMahon. Or Ben {throb}. Or...
Smoke? Not lately.
Do drugs? Despite my desires, no.
Have sex? Not so much. It's not exactly a conscious decision or life plan, though.
Give oral sex? Likewise.
Receive oral sex? And again.
Have a dream that keeps coming back? Not for a while. There are recurring themes (dogs, heights, etc.) but not a literal repeat performance.
Remember your first real love? Oh, yeah.
Still love him/her? Hardly.
Read the newspaper? Sunday mornings.
Have any gay or lesbian friends? Yes.
Believe in miracles? Of a sort - when you're least expecting it.
Believe it's possible to remain faithful forever? Definitely.
Consider yourself tolerant of others? I act much more tolerant than I feel, but my intolerance is almost always specific rather than general. (One exception: home-schooling.)
Consider love a mistake? Love? No. The making of same? Definitely.
Like the taste of alcohol? Depends on the day, which is a scary revelation in itself.
Have a favorite candy? Yes, but that also depends on the day. (Am I the most relative person to walk the Earth?) Today: peanut M&Ms.
Believe in astrology? I believe it exists. I believe that some things are more than coincidental.
Believe in magic? Only the emotional kind. Is that pathetic?
Believe in God? I hope so.
Have any pets: No.
Got to or plan to go to college? I went to college for 4 years, grad school for either 2 or 10, and law school for 3. Strangely enough, I'm in one of those periods where I'd die to go again. Ph.D. in English? M.A. in Philosophy? M.F.A. in Writing? LL.M. in Intellectual Property? Who knows.
Have any piercings? Yes. Thank God I didn't have access to someone who would pierce me today; I'd have gotten a few more.
Have any tattoos? Not yet. Damn it.
Hate yourself: Just this morning, in fact.
Have an obsession? Let's put it this way: I have a few repeating thoughts.
Have a secret crush? Yes and no.
Do they know yet? No, and no [and never will].
Have a best friend? Indeed.
Wish on stars? Every now and then. What could it hurt?
Care about looks? Sometimes. Sometimes very much. Sometimes not at all.
First crush: Brad
First kiss: EarlSingle or taken? Dreadfully single
Ever been in love? No doubt.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Theoretically, there could be that kind of psychochemical reaction between two people. I think the gradual is a bit more likely, and likely to survive.
Describe your ideal significant other: Independent and encouraging of independence. Capable of accepting—anything—graciously. Faithful. Kind. Funny, with an ironic and sarcastic twist. Willing to lead, most of the time. Grown up but inherently resistant to acting his age. Tolerant. Caring deeply about something. Seriously desiring the state of desiring and of being desired. Unfussy. Unafraid.
Have you ever played a game that required removal of clothing? Yes
Have you ever been intoxicated? Yes. Not so much within the last few days. Er, four days.
Favorite place to be kissed? Indoors.
Have you ever been caught "doing something?": I'm not sure if the guy on the bulldozer could actually see what...could, potentially, actually have been seen. But Renee definitely - never mind. "Yes."
Are you a tease? Not in person.
Shy to make the first move? Definitely - at first.
