in which she reveals some secrets

1. Are you in a relationship with anyone? I am in all sorts of relationships with all sorts of people. Romantically speaking, I am: currently attempting to wiggle out of a corner into which I inadvertently backed myself with one person (B); fairly certain that I've managed to burn the fucking bridge after a month of trying (CL); and frustrated beyond words with the one who matters.
2. Have you kissed somebody in the last 2 months? Yes
3. Who was the last friend you were chilling with? I chill with G about 3x/wk. If it weren't for her, I'd be MUCH more mental than I am right now.
4. Miss someone? Yup. I've been thinking about The Cat a lot lately, wishing that we had our bimonthly excuse to hang like before. Why is the concept of "making time" so complicated?
5. How's your ex doing? Do you care? He just drove by. About 10 mph. If I had a gun I'd be very tempted to shoot him.
6. Is there someone you want to fight? CL is a good choice, but, not really.
7. Are you loyal? Excessively. Ridiculously. Painfully.
8. Song playing? "Secret" by Maroon 5. It's about a devastating crush. It always reminds me of Mr. Sensitive (one of the SWC employees). "I know I don't know you / But I want you so bad / Everyone has a secret / Oh, can they keep it? / Oh, no, they can't."
9. What are you doing today? I mostly floundered around trying to stay cool and failing miserably.
10. What are you excited for? Seeing Dan.
11. What's annoying you right now? Robert!
12. What does the 12th message in your inbox say? "lol i need to come up with 500 i want this car bad"
13. What does the 12th message in your outbox say? "What do i get, if u get $500?"
14. Would you prefer someone who is romantic or spontaneous? Spontaneous
15. Are you tired? Not really.
16. If somebody liked you right now, what would be a cool way for them to tell you? The "how" doesn't matter in the slightest. Just make me aware of it.
17. What kind of socks do you have on? My feet are blissfully naked.
18. What color shirt are you wearing? Black
19. What will you do Saturday? It is currently Saturday night. I am sitting in my underwear (no shit), sweating body parts off, drinking beer and contemplating the need to eat dinner, listening to music and sporadically emailing one of my OkC guys.
20. Does your family own any mansions? My sister might. I rent an apartment, my brother and his girlfriend own a nice 3-BR house, my niece and her BF rent an apt., and my parents own a crazy-big 3-BR house that's WAY too big for 2 people but is miraculously filled with parent-crap anyway.
21. Do you have any interesting bruises or scars? I always have bruises, because I bruise easily and I'm incapable of not ramming my knees and elbows (and skull) into things. Scar-wise, the interesting ones came from Steve during a drunken card game and from my brother when I was a very little kid, riding a bike.
22. Where were you at 9 a.m. today? In my bed, asleep with a headache.
23. How long does it take you to get ready to go out? Depends where "out" is, and with whom. If George Clooney called right now, I might be ready in 90 minutes. If G was at the security door, buzzing for me to go to the bar with her, I could be ready in 20.
24. Do you like books? Mmm - I love books.
25. Do you wish at 11:11? I wish constantly, and it has nothing to do with the time on the clock.
26. Do you wear any jewelry? Yes. I. Do. I wear a toe ring always (well, 99% of the time), earrings probably 95% of the time (though none right now), and a necklace 5 days out of 7. Bracelets and rings only for particular occasions.
27. Do you clean up nice? No. I am always slightly grubby. WTF? I'm 37 years old - of course I know how to "clean up"!
28. Do you have any piercings? [If so,] how many? Yes, four (for the moment). Expect two more within the month.
29. What were you doing at 11:00 last night? Reading and wishing HARD.
30. What was the last thing that made you laugh? The thought of The Cat's hair streaked with gravy.
31. What is your favourite kind of gum? meh
32. When did you last eat pizza? Tuesday
33. Do you sing in the shower? I would loove to be able to say No, but I did that very recently. It was a couple of nights ago and I was shaving so it took longer than usual and I took in my iPod and dock so I could be entertained. "Miami" from Counting Crows came on, and I cannot not sing It just gets hard to believe
    That God sent this angel to watch over me
    'cause my angel
    She don't receive my calls
    Says I'm too dumb to fuck
    Too dumb to fight
    Too dumb to save
    Well, maybe I don't need no angel at all
34. Has anyone ever sang or played music for you personally? Not since high school.
35. What's your favourite season? Autumn
36. Honestly, do you have a friend that you don't like? No, or they wouldn't be a friend. Duh?!
37. What's your favourite breed of dogs? "hot"
38. Are you multi-tasking? Not really. When I finish this I'll go back to reading.
39. Called anyone a bitch today? Yes - the entirety of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
40. Are you someone's best friend? Maybe?
41. Did you ever date the last person you kissed? No, and I would not in twenty zillion years.
42. What is your natural hair color? mouse-ass
43. Do you know a person named [redacted]? Not at the moment (according to my phone). Lori's husband has a derivation of that. When I was in college I knew several - Mr. Cutler (who was almost perfect - particularly a certain "compact but useful" thing that he owned), Mr. Anderson (gorgeous but always VERY mean to me), and Mr. unnameable (who extorted an evening of rather mild making out by twisting my mind).
