just around the corner in every woman's mind is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her

1. What would you most like to reincarnate as? a kangaroo. Something fierce but with the possibility of a fairly long life.
2. What's in your undie drawer...besides undies? nothing
3. How many languages can you say Hello in? four
4. If your whole country had to listen to you talk for ten minutes what would you talk about? ugh, no
5. Do you have a guardian angel? maybe?
6. Do you smoke? no
7. Who is more successful, Bill Gates or Mother Theresa? it depends on your definition of 'success', of course
8. What band T-shirts do you own? Alkaline Trio (though I've never seen them live). Rush. Depeche Mode.
9. What is your favorite thing that is red? a garnet necklace
10. Have you ever worn mismatched socks on purpose? not since junior high - when, along with a group of friends, I was kicked out of class and told to "fix it"
11. Do you check nutrition labels? rarely. I sometimes look for relative salt or sugar content when buying canned goods, but that's about it.
12. Most McDonald's value meals are about 1,500 calories (the amount of calories an average person needs in one whole day) and over 1,000 of those calories are from fat. What do you think about this? the occasional high-fat, high-calorie meal is no big deal. Making a habit of it is horrible. I eat at McDonald's once, maybe twice a year? So it doesn't really affect me. But people who don't, or can't, plan ahead or prepare their own food are at a terrible disadvantage.
13. If you could delete someone's diary would you if...
    They didn't agree with you? no (I don't need to read it)
14. They were rude/obnoxious to you? no (I can't eliminate the universe)
15. They wrote rude entries? no (people are jerks)
16. Have you ever worn...
    A dress or a skirt if you are a guy/A tie if you are a girl? yep, I went through a tie phase in high school, after reading an article in Cosmo about juxtaposition in fashion. They were not wrong, but it's no something I'd do again. At this stage I think it would be more creepy than cute.
17. Do you trust people at restaurants who handle your food that they aren't doing anything gross to it while you can't see them? obviously, or I'd never eat food prepared by anyone else
18. How do you wear your hair each day? it depends on the day. Lately it's been sort of vaguely "down," more or less curly or wavy, sometimes pulled back or braided.
19. Have you ever worn...
    A gas mask? nope
20. A blindfold? yeah
21. Would you be willing to go hang gliding? God no
22. What is the difference between a man's button down shirt and a woman's button down shirt? the side of the placket where the buttons are affixed
23. Have you ever taken a lock of someone else's hair? I've done some ridiculous, nostalgic shit, but never that
24. Have you ever given anyone a lock of your hair? uh, no. What would the purpose be?
25. If you had a locket what would you put inside? a photo, I suppose.
26. Is blood a turn on for you? I prefer beings that contain it...?
27. Have you ever written anything in your own blood? not that I recall
28. Have you ever drank, slurped or licked someone else's blood? unlikely?
