yes, it is a lot

  • What was the last thing you made into a heart? My friend's kid and I folded some scrap paper and made cut-out hearts in October
  • Tell us about your latest ex? I think anyone reading this blog has heard plenty about him already
  • How tall is the last person you hugged? 5'8"ish?
  • Speaking of hugs, who is the best hugger you know? Sleek
  • What color is your underwear? White
  • Do you normally sleep with clothes on? No
  • Think about the last pair of socks you wore: I am currently wearing white(ish) New Balance running socks
  • What show/concert do you want to attend next? wev
  • What are you listening to right now? Blissful silence. The next-door neighbor isn't home, and the across-the-hall people (with the screaming brat from hell) must be taking a breath 'cause it's quiet. I can hear the landlord toodling around in the storeroom with a pallet jack, and occasionally he takes his pickup into the parking lot for no apparent reason. It's a nice, quiet Sunday [11/30].
  • Last website you went to was what? steelers.com, picking out my Christmas wish list item
  • How do you look up new music? iTunes
  • What is your favorite color ice pop? Like cotton candy, aren't they basically all the same?
  • Would you be in a porn magazine for $6,592.78? I would happily write for a porn magazine for that amount
  • What is something you wish you had more of? Books
  • Last time you had the butterflies, who were you thinking of? Don
  • Who does your MySpace top 8 consist of? Sadly, I have No Space. Just for giggles, I will share my OkCupid "favorites" list:
    • Alex Ludd, the former presidential candidate who hasn't been online in forever
    • The Cat
    • Nick, since I can't figure out how to "un-favorite" him without actually accessing his profile page, which is abhorrent to me
    • Fluffy, who doesn't bother with OkC unless I demand her attention toward something specific
    • Harold, who is one of those people (like Brian from Madtown) who shows up on any search that I do. We're numerically compatible and something like 18 years apart in age. Still, he's cute. Not that I'm looking.
    • my own alter-ego profile
    • Cindy, with whom I was supposed to get together in something like May. We're both pathetic, though in slightly different ways.
    • my friend from Kansas, with whom I haven't conversed in a while. I should really send him a message about that job....
    • and finally, Robert. He remains out of reach.
  • Have you ever made out with a member of the same sex? No
  • Would you ever have sex with the last person of the opposite sex you were with? Um, yes.
  • Are you gay? No
  • Who is your favorite band? Depends on the day. Lately, I can't get enough of [redacted].
  • Do you have an addiction? What is it? I probably have one or two. Today I will claim hand lotion and NCIS.
  • What is the coolest band name you have ever heard? REM
  • Do you like poetry? Very much so
  • If the last person you dated said they were in love with you, what would you say? Um, if that means Ulysses, I wouldn't really believe it but I'd accept it and not let go.
    If that means Nick, I'd tell him to go fuck himself. In colorful language. Loudly.
  • What were you last sad about? Beast is sick.
  • Do you mind when people talk about your sex life? Sorta, yeah. Unless I start the conversation. Hee hee.
  • Are you a slut? Not so much
  • Who is the hottest member of the opposite sex you've seen in the last week? Ironically, it's a tie.
  • Let's just say you were a serial killer. Would you get caught? No
  • Has anyone ever said they would die for you? Yes, and it's more creepy than anything else
  • What is your favorite alcoholic drink? Beer, followed closely by vodka
  • Does it annoy you when people type like they're ghetto? You know, I don't really give a fuck what people do, like this. We all have our moments.
  • Do you always answer your phone? Not even close. I rarely answer my phone.
  • Who do you text the most? Sam, G, and Asking Man
  • What did you last feel bad about? Yesterday, I felt bad about most of my abdomen. Today, I'm wishing I'd gone out to buy milk before this fucking "snowstorm" started. The grocery store is probably jammed with people who think that the roads will be closed and we'll all die unless they buy all the food in the county.
  • Are you mean? I have my moments
  • If you could start your name with any random letter, what would it be? I am not my name. I've never been my name. Another name wouldn't change that.
  • Who were the last three people to send you a message on MySpace? How about the last 3 commenters here? The Cat, JT [Sleek], and Sam
  • Who of those last three people would you marry, if you had to? By process of elimination, that would be JT. And we would be infamous if we married. It's really pretty scary to imagine.
  • Do you like thunderstorms? Yup, as long as it's not super windy
  • Do you like the rain? Very much so
  • When was the last time you were sick? I wasn't totally myself yesterday. Before that, I had a monster case of the sniffles a couple of weeks ago. I've been a sicky this season so far.
  • Have you ever been into drugs? I'm heavily into decongestants and migraine prevention.
  • Who was the last smoker you were around? Did they smoke around you? Ulysses smokes, though he's never come close to doing it around me
  • Say you were dying tomorrow. What would you want to eat last? I'm fairly certain that food would be the last thing on my mind. All else being equal, though, I'd take bacon.
  • Does something hurt on you right now? Only my heart
  • What is your current mood? Copacetic
  • Have you ever kissed anyone whose name started with an E? oodles of them, though not just because of their names
  • What time do you normally go to sleep every day? Somewhere between 9:30 and 1:30
  • Do you like cheese? Some of it, in small doses
  • Last shirt you wore? I'm currently wearing a white camisole and a gray long sleeved t-shirt from Dominican University
  • How many times a week do you shower? 5 or 6
  • Name one thing that grosses you out: eau de smelly coworker
  • If your best friend made out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, what would you do? Laugh my ass off while leaving them both to work it out
  • Have you ever cheated on a significant other? Several times. It is not an element of my past of which I am proud.
  • Who do you know that can make you feel better if you're not feeling happy? My niece
  • What are you doing besides this? Watching football on TV
  • Are you logged into any instant messenger programs? No
  • Do you have any dishes in your room? In my bedroom? I think there's a glass of water next to the bed, maybe?
  • Are you someone who remembers dates? Unfortunately. I graduated from high school on June 6. Graduated from college on May 30. Entered the state bar on November 4. Met Johnnie.... Got tattooed on.... I could go on.
  • What is your favorite television channel? WGN
  • What would you do if your ex died? I found out this morning that a college friend's husband died this week, in a fall at home. He was 42. I'm still stunned.
  • Would you rather get shot or get injected? This is a very stupid question.
  • It's 10am. What are you doing? Today, I was sleeping. I woke initially at 6:50, ran out to take the trash out and get the paper, checked my email and the blogs, and then went back to bed. Got up again at 10:30 or so.
  • Do you hate when people call you when you're sleeping? There's no way to tell, so it doesn't bother me too much. I've heard that communication when I'm sleepy is pretty funny, anyway.
  • What is the worst thing that has ever happened to you? Let's just accumulate all the bad stuff that's happened, call it all the worst, and leave it at that. Why analyze it any more closely?
  • If your friend did something bad and you didn't know, but it had to do with you, would you expect them to be a man and tell you? I hold my friends to high standards of honesty, but not to the point of brutality. Some things are better not known.
  • Do you take your phone to the bathroom with you? Not intentionally
ONE: You
  • What do most people call you? Amy
  • How old are you? [redacted]
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin do you have? Golden Topaz/Papaya/Black Cherry, Blue, Clear

  • What emotion do you experience most often? Perplexity
  • What do you want to do with your life? Squeeze the marrow out of it

  • How do other people describe you? Short, quiet, arrogant, weird
Two: Your Best Friend
  • What's her name? college BFF
  • When did you meet? 1988, in a Mass Communications class
  • Why are you two best friends? Because we have *a lot* in common, and what is not common is always interesting
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin does she have? Brown/Blue/Pale
  • When was the last time you talked to her? When will be the next time? October; December
  • Does she have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you like him? She's married to a guy who is absolutely fantastic
  • Are you protective of her? And vice versa? Very much. Even more.
  • Can you talk to her about anything? Pretty much. Aspects of our lives have diverged (i.e. she's better friends with the ex-spouse than I am, and she has a kid), but in the end it's just details. We'd do almost anything for each other.
  • Have you ever had a sleepover? Lots of times
  • Do you have nicknames for each other? Not really. We have enough inside jokes and gory details to keep us both safe for a lifetime, though.
Three: Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Crush (or the most recent, if you don't have any of those)
  • What's his name? Ulysses
  • How old is he? 29
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin do[es he] have? Red-blond/Bedroom blue/Light
  • What's his personality like? He's sly, funny, ironic, smart, and terribly attractive

  • Have you kissed him? Yes
  • Do you have any of his clothes? No
  • When was the last time you talked to him? Tuesday

Four: Sibling (pick one if you have more than one- sorry if you don't have any)
  • What's his name? [redacted] 
  • How old is he? He'll be [a different age] in January
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin does he have? Brown-Gray/Blue/Light
  • What does he for a living/what does he want to be when he grows up? He's a machinist
  • Do you ever wish you were an only child? All the fucking time when I was a teenager (more re: my parents than my siblings, particularly him). Not anymore.
  • Are you more alike or different? In the ways that matter, we're a lot alike. Physically, we're pretty different (though we look enough alike to be siblings!).
  • What kind of music does he like? Classic rock
  • What would you label him, if you had to? Big Strong Guy
  • Do you ever do stuff together? We have dinner at least once every time I'm home. We usually hang out at my parents' house at least one evening, too.
  • Do you annoy each other? No. We joke, but it's part of the routine. I love him in a way that I never could have anticipated when we were younger.
Five: An Ex-Friend
  • What's her name? Emily
  • How old is she? []
  • How did you meet? In junior high. She sat in front of me in Spanish, 7th grade.
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin do they have? God Knows/Blue/Pale. (We battled before my wedding, because I demanded that she have a human hair color for the ceremony. She barely knew what that was. In the end, her hair was a sort of magenta.)
  • Why did you become friends? She needed a follower and I needed a leader
  • How long were you friends? 18 chronological years, give or take. In terms of actual active friendship, perhaps 5 years out of that.
  • Do you have any mutual friends? Lots. We graduated from high school together. All of our friends from that era (and some of our college friends, and family) know each other.
  • Is it awkward when you see her? We last saw each other at our 10th HS reunion, 10 years ago. It was borderline awkward, even then. It would be WAY worse now.
  • So... what happened? She's nuts. I've changed. I'm not much of a follower anymore. Our lives have gone in vastly different directions, emphasizing things that are really unimportant to each other. It should have ended a long time before it did.
  • Do you miss her/does she miss you? I miss being friends with someone, but it was always more give than take. She allegedly misses me (I've heard, through the grapevine).
Six: The First Person You Kissed (sorry again if this doesn't apply to you)
  • What's his name? Earl
  • How old were you? 14
  • Were you dating? No
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin does did he have? Brown/Blue/Light
  • Do you still talk to them? No. He died a few years ago.
  • How old is he would he be now? 37
  • Did he know he was your first kiss? Yes. That was [part, if not the entirety] of the allure. For him. I thought he was cute, and really wanted to get that first bit over with. If I could turn back time....
Seven: The Last Person You Talked To On The Phone (skip to the 2nd last if already mentioned)
  • What's his name? Asking Man
  • What colour hair/eyes/skin do they have? Brownish/I'm not sure but I'm guessing blue or green - I think they're pretty light/Light
  • How do you know him? We are friends. He's the most like my brother (sort of "like a brother" but it's more than that) of anyone I know. Infinitely trustworthy.
  • What did you talk about? Bowling and health
  • How long did it take? 2:21
  • Are you related to this person? Only spiritually
