120 THINGS ABOUT ME ...

I've been wanting to post a blog entry for ages now but could never really think of anything to write about. Thanks to the beautiful ♥~HermyKitteh~♥ I've been giving the perfect torture for you all.

(001) Your gender: Female
(002) Straight/gay/bi?: Bi
(003) Single?: Physically yes, emotionally no.
(004) Want to be?: No I don't want to be single. I'd rather traverse oceans and be with my trid.
(005) Age?: 25 *grimaces* Gosh that number keeps creaping up. *frowns*
(006) Age you wish you were?: I don't mind being 25 really, I just don't like how each year I have to add one.
(007) Your label?: *frowns* What's a label?
(008) Your height?: 5'2" (shorty)
(009) Your eye color?: Blue
(010) Any piercings?: Ears.
(011) Any tattoos?: No

DO YOU...

(012) Smoke: Not since I was 15.
(013) Drink: These days I tend to avoid alcohol. I LIKE to drink, especially red wine or vodka cruisers BUT... alcohol always affects my bipolar so I completely avoid drinking now.
(014) Do drugs: No, I tried marajuana (sp?) when I was 14 with no effect so I haven't bothered since. I don't see the point. Reality is enough of a trip.
(015) Read the newspaper: Rarely
(016) Talk to strangers who IM you: It depends how they address me. Most of the time they'll get a brush of since generally people who IM me out of the blue are only interested in getting laid.
(017) Like to walk in the leaves: Um... Maybe this is some deciduous tradition. We don't have many trees here that dump piles of leaves everywhere so the opportunity for playing in leaves isn't there. Still, I don't think I'd be too keen on it anyway, leaves = bugs to me. *shudders*
(018) Take walks in the rain: Frequently *chuckles* Sometimes it's because I don't have a choice, other times because I've taken the kids out to jump in puddles. Rain is wonderful and cozy fires and hot chocolate after is even better.
(019) Drive: Yes and these days I rather enjoy driving. That feeling of getting away from my normal day to day life even if it's just a short trip. I don't have a car however so I don't get to drive very often.
(020) Like to drive fast?: Nope, I'm a strictly speed limit kind of girl. Cars are dangerous enough without risking lives going even faster than legally recommended.
(021) Hurt yourself: Probably, who hasn't accidentally bashed their knee into something at some point? But I've never hurt myself just to feel pain.
(022) Have a job: Self Employed, Freelance copy writer/editor.
(023) Like who you are: On a good day.
(024) Consider love a mistake: I've gone through stages when I DID think loving was a mistake. At the moment, although it aches tremendously to be so far away from the man I love I don't regret loving and I'd never give up the love I have for my family.
(025) Base your judgement on looks alone: No.
(026) Do you like/love someone?: Well DUH!

HAVE YOU EVER...

(027) Been caught doing some thing your weren't supposed to be doing?: Actually I haven't. Been caught that is.
(028) Been in love: Ok, get over it already. Too many love questions that all equal the same answer. YES!
(029) Done drugs: Opps, I answered this one earlier too. Yes, when I was 14.
(030) Gone skinny dipping: No, I'm not confident enough in my body to do that, yet...
(031) Had a surgery: Yes, when I was a child.
(032) Ran away from home: No, but I moved out when I was very young.
(033) Played strip poker: Alas, no although I would.
(034) Gotten beat up: No
(035) Been on stage: Yes, school play. But hated it.
(036) Slept outdoors: Yes, used to tent it sometimes, slept on the trampoline a couple of times in the past too. Only when it's very warm.
(037) Pulled an all-nighter: *chuckles* Often.
(038) Talked on the phone all night: Yes I have.
(039) Had an X-ray: Yes, dental x-rays. I don't think I've had any bones x-rayed however. Ultrasounds too which is kind of like an x-ray.
(040) Had detention: Actually I don't think I ever did. *tries to remember* I can't be sure but I don't remember being in detention. Then again, that's probably because I was never 'caught' doing something wrong.
(041) Been suspended: No
(042) Been Expelled: No
(043) Slept all day: Never ALL day but I do sometimes sleep on and off through the day if I'm sick.
(044) Killed someone: Ok, does anyone admit to this in these things? Unless they've already served time I don't think they would. Still, I'm not withholding truth when I say that No, I've never killed anyone, yet...
(045) Made out with a stranger: Alas No. One of the many wild adventurous things that just isn't something I could do. Strangers might have cooties.
(046) Had sex with a stranger?: No. Sex should have an emotional attachment. You don't get this with a stranger.
(047) Kissed the same sex: No
(048) Done anything sexual with the same sex? Um... Does cyber sex count?
(049) Been betrayed: Yes, is there anyone who hasn't?
(050) Broken the law: Actually yes. I'm a goody two-shoes these days but in my youth I did a little shop lifting.
(051) Been arrested: Never.
(052) Been on radio/TV: I don't think so. My brother was on TV (news) when we were younger but I don't think I was included in that or in the magazine articles that went with it.
(053) Been in a mosh-pit: No
(054) Had a nervous breakdown: Daily.

(058) Owned a pair of big sunglasses: No
(059) Worn a huge hat: No
(060) Judged other people by their clothing: Well, I'll sometimes cringe over someones clothing choice. Obese people wearing clothes that are sizes too small or teenagers showing their underwear etc. I guess that counts.
(061) Been told you have good taste: No
(062) Been romantically attracted to someone and physically unattracted?: Not yet.
(063) Been used?: Probably.
(064) Been in an abusive relationship?: Emotionally abusive, yes. That's why I dumped him.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN...

(065) Life on other planets: Yes! Only a complete egotist could believe that out of the billions of planets in the universe ours is the only one with life.
(066) Miracles: Kinda and kinda not. I believe that miraculous things can happen but I also believe in fate so while it was remarkable it was all part of the cosmic plan.
(067) Astrology: Yes. BUT... That doesn't mean all horoscopes are legitimate. They have to be done correctly.
(068) Magic: I'm not sure. I'd like to believe in magic. I wish I could perform magic. I used to try and move things with my mind like Matilda but, alas, I can't and I've never seen magic so I struggle to believe it is real.
(069) God: Depends on your definition of God. I believe there is a cosmic energy but I don't believe that some old guy with a beard sits up in the clouds casting lightning bolts and non-believers.
(070) The Devil: Similar to God. I believe there is the darker reversal of cosmic energy, a way to go backwards to the lower planes of existance instead of ascending but I don't believe some guy with a pitch fork goes around burning people.
(071) True Love: Yes, but not necessarily ONE right person for everyone.
(072) Ghosts: Yes, I see dead people.
(073) Rebirth: Yes, reincarnation.
(074) Love at first sight: I don't know about that. I can believe in impulsive and instinctual awareness of each other and physical attraction. I think love is something that develops and deepens over time.
(075) Ying and Yang?: Well, a sense of karma and balance yes. Is that what ying and yang is all about?
(076) Witches: Well I believe in people who believe in Wicca which would be considered witches. Pagan ritualists which would also be witches. I don't know about broomstick flying black hat wearers however.
(077) The Easter Bunny: No. I aint never found no eggs I didn't buy myself.
(078) Santa Clause: Um, same as The Easter Bunny. I have to buy the presents from Santa for my kids.

LAST PERSON...

(080) That laughed at you: Don't remember this either.
(081) That hurt you: Physically? Probably my cat. He's always digging his claws into me. Person... Um, baby boy might have trod on my foot this morning. Emotionally? Myself? Does that count?

(084) That you went shopping with: Accompanied my mother clothes shopping the other day. Ohhh but I went shopping this morning and baby boy came with me.
(085) To disappoint you: Um... My Trid. But it's not really his fault. Perhaps that means I disappointed me. *sighs* I just get disappointed because we're so far apart and I want to be with him NOW. Waiting sucks.
(086) That made you cry: A person? Um... I can't remember the last person to make me cry but I've cried alot because of movies lately.
