March 5: hypermnesia

Both a blessing and a curse, I often wish that I could selectively turn off my hypermnesia.

---

• has someone ever sexually poured candle wax on you?
  "That's your first question? I thought this was supposed to be a puff piece." [from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou]
  no, and neither has anyone done so in a non-sexual situation, thanks
• can you ever be a vegan?
  not hardly--I'm much too much of a leather-wearing, steak-loving, bacon-of-the-day calendar-using meatatarian for that!
• has someone ever called you peanut?
  um, no. Ironically, though, I tend to call two very different people in my life peanut: my massage therapist (who could not be less 'peanut-y') and my bff's daughter (who is, always has been, and forever will be, the 'Nut).
• who do you secretly, or openly, want to have sex with?
  well, there is this guy....
• do you like nicknames that are from your name?
  "like" would put it rather more strongly than I might choose. "Accept", sure. Nicknames with more creative origins are preferred.
• have you ever gotten into a serious bike accident?
  no, but I've, erm, experienced one.
• have you/do you/would you ever eat tofu?
  have; don't currently; and would, yes. It is not a texture that I find pleasing, but I'm open to the possibility that I might experience it in a new way someday.
• when you play the SIMS, do you find yourself overly-decorative?
  I've never played, but the bff & spouse do. Charming quirk.
• have you ever washed someone's car to get money?
  probably a parent's or sibling's, before I was old enough to drive.
• have you ever walked in the middle of the street just to piss off people?
  probably, when I was an annoying child
• were you ever called a slut, when it wasn't a joke?
  I believe that the desperation-crazed wife of my high school boyfriend who called me to accuse me of having an affair with him may have used that term, yes.
• have you ever been to a funeral?
  an average of one every year or two for my entire life
• has someone ever written a song about you?
  not that I know of? But I've had plenty of songs sung to/for me. Some better than others, more memorably than others, or to better effect.
• what kind of computer are you taking this survey on?
  Mac Quad-Core.
• have you ever seen the Geek Squad car in person?
  uh, yeah. I live .54 mi from Best Buy!
• have you ever shaved your head?
  no, but I would if I had a good reason. Hair is only temporary.
• ever throw something at a fan and laughed as it flew across the room?
  no.
• are you Jewish?
  haven't you been paying attention at all?
• have you ever dated someone that played drums?
  oh, yeah. I had a thing for the drummers for a long time. *sigh*
• do you currently have bruises on your body?
  more than likely. I'm easy to bruise and kind of minor accident-prone, especially when I'm under the weather
• did you have anything to drink today?
  like, fluids? Or alcohol? I've had water, tea, and Coke.
• is there an air conditioner in the room you are currently in?
  not even close. It's 32°F outside right now (feels like 21°). That's not A/C weather!
• how often do you cook?
  anytime I want to eat.
