the stages of life

Life
.:. Elementary: Bliss. How could it be anything but? At least as far as I remember. There was a lot of playing, yelling, reading, getting dirty, fighting, crying, clothes ripping, laughing, grass stains, playgrounds.... That was the best.
.:. Junior High: Angsty. I was a bratty, moody twerp from 12-14. [Relatively] major life issues that may or may not be related: started wearing glasses during the summer between 7th and 8th grade; first kiss, October of 8th grade; got braces during 8th grade. (Started wearing contacts summer between 8th and 9th grade; followed that first with a few other kisses; the braces came off less than a year later, around the time that I stopped looking so much like a boy in profile.)
.:. High School: Surprising. I loved it. I wasn't a great student, but my grades were good enough. I wasn't the most popular, but I got by. I had a job that I really liked, I had tons of friends, and I had a car. And no curfew. I have no complaints.
.:. Favorite Soda: Coke.
.:. Favorite fruit: Raspberries and/or peaches.
.:. Favorite weather: Autumn, but what I really like is the change of seasons.

Do You...
.:. Like someone: Yes. "That" way? Yes: that, too.
.:. Want more piercings: Yes. Just for me.
.:. Want a tattoo: Yes - just one more. I even know what I want and where it should go.

Last...
.:. Person talked to in person?: Fluffy
.:. Person talked to/texted on the phone?: Talked: Dad; Texted: Heidi
.:. Person IMed on-line?: ...as opposed to IM’d in person? The Cat.
.:. Movie watched: Still Jane Eyre.

Pick one
.:. Blue or red? Blue
.:. Spring or Fall?: Fall

Random stuff
.:. Do you speak a different language?: Bits & pieces of three or four.
.:. How old do you act?: I'm not sure I'm the best gauge of that. Here's a guess, though: half my age plus seven.
.:. Do you have any pets?: No. Why do these stupid surveys always ask this question?
.:. Mood?: Apart from the last question, mellow and happy. Life is good.
