You Already Know Me Better Than You Want To (GTKEOWO)

Dec 23 '03

The Bottom Line I love being able to talk without using any brainpower.

Hi. This is part of sarahlovesadam's Getting To Know Each Other Survey WO. She's new around these parts and wants to make some friends, so join her write-off, you stick in the mud! Hi Sarah, I'm your new friend! Lucky you.

Here are my survey answers. Try not to fall asleep reading.

-Birth date: June 29, 1979

-Height: 5'4"

-Eye color: green

-Hair color: brown

-What does your name mean?: "Lame." I'm serious.

-High school graduation year: 1997

-Favorite relatives: You want me to pick my "favorite relatives?" Are they going to read this?

-Summer memory: Falling in love with Mike Turner at summer camp when we were 14.

-Favorite TV shows: I don't think I have a favorite, but I've been drowning my sorrows in a lot of Deep Space Nine reruns lately.

-What's on your mousepad?: It's the Gateway one with the Holstein spots on it.

-In the car- AC or windows?: Windows. Unless it's cold and/or raining.

-Do you believe in yourself?: I believe I exist.

-Favorite game: Jumanji.

-Favorite drink: Strong, hot, straight orange pekoe tea, black, two bags per mug so that it's so bitter it chafes my throat and there's so much caffeine that if I sit still enough I can see the table moving due only to the frantic contractions of my heart muscle.

-Favorite food: Seafood pizza. My Mama's cranberry muffins. Ice cream.

-Favorite colors: Gray. Or silver if you want to be all fancy-like.

-Favorite cigarettes: Gross.

-Favorite sounds: Good music. Magpies chattering. Silence. Rain.

-Favorite smell: Water.

-Favorite thing to do on a weekend: Depends on whether or not I want to be productive. If not, I will sleep until mid-morning, get up and take a shamefully long shower, go back to bed and read, take a nap, get up and waste some time on the internet, drowse, fall asleep again, get up and take another shower, then read all night. Now, if I want to be productive, I'll go and do something productive. Then maybe take a nap.

-Favorite soundtrack: I would say that among my favorites are Batman Forever, Pulp Fiction, and Romeo & Juliet, but I never listen to any of those because they all have so many sucky songs on them.

-Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Oh god, I'd rather not think about that. I'm just going to focus on staying alive until then.

-First thought in the morning: Less of a thought, and more of a vague feeling of gray, cold confusion mixed with very mild worry.

-Do you get motion sickness?: No.

-Rollercoasters- deadly or exciting?: If you take off your harness and stand up just as the car is about to enter a small tunnel at 80 mph, they can be very deadly. But that's why they are exciting, right?

-How many rings before you answer the phone?: If I don't feel like talking to anyone I'll let the voice mail get it. If I don't mind talking I'll pick it up after however many rings it takes before I can drag my lazy bones over to the stupid phone.

-Are you a good friend?: To whom?

-Chocolate or vanilla cake?: If I'm in the mood for cake, it's usually chocolate. But sometimes I'd kill for vanilla.

-What do you drive?: Purple 1999 Honda Civic Dx hatchback.

-Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?: No. I sleep with a stuffed peanut. The shell unzips and inside are two little nuts. My Mama made it while she was pregnant with me.

-Thunderstorms- cool or scary?: Cool. Too bad we hardly ever have them here.

-If you could meet one person in the world, who would it be?: I usually like to avoid meeting people. Wait, does this include dead people?

-What is your zodiac sign?: Cancer.

-What do you wear to bed?: In the summer, nothing. In the winter it depends on how many blankets I have on the bed. In between summer and winter, usually boxers and a T-shirt.

-Do you eat stems of broccoli?: Yep, if they are cooked well. I like them stir fried.

-Girls- Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt? What? Why would I do that? Who is this guy? What kind of shirt is it? This question makes me nervous.

-If you could have any occupation when you get older, what would it be?: What do you mean when I get older? What are you saying? I don't need to take this from you!

-If you could dye your hair one color, what would it be?: Well, actually I can dye my hair any color I want to. Who's suggesting I can't? Fight for your right, man.

UC Davis Escort Service poster. Lame Fleetwood Mac poster that came with a CD. Bulletin board with tons of cr@p pinned to it. Clock.

-Is the glass half-empty or half-full?: Half-empty, but only if whatever is inside is something I like.

-Which do you prefer- Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos?: Ack, neither since they increased the amount of powdery flavoring stuff they put on them- it's like biting into a Day-Glo colored block of solid salt.

-Favorite flavor Snapple: I don't care. What have you got?

-Which one, Coke or Pepsi?: Coke. But I'll take Pepsi if I'm desperate.

-Which kind of milk is your favorite?: Well, I started out liking human milk the best, but I switched to the milk of the domesticated bovine when I was about 2. Been my fave ever since.

-If you were to kill someone, which method would you use? Okay. First of all, what's my motive? Is this someone that I just want to dust off to get them out of the way? In that case, I'd do something relatively painless, like an execution style gunshot to the back of the head. Or is this someone who definitely deserves an all-day festival of torture? I could write a book. I think we'd better meet in person to discuss this.

-Best number in the world: 55

-What is your dream car?: My dreams do not involve cars.

-Who is your biggest crush right now?: Probably this guy I work with, but god, he's even more antisocial than I am. Put the two of us in a room together and you have yourself an intensely creepy situation. It could work.

-Nickname: Dusty.

-School: The last school I attended was UC Davis. But I graduated and they told me to quit hanging around and go get a life.

-Bacon bits or croutons?: Oh thanks, now I'm completely nauseated.

-Favorite Salad Dressing: This kind my Mama used to make, it was kind of like Italian, but different.

-Do you drink?: Not anymore, not since I got back on The Meds. They do not mix well with booze. I learned that real fast.

-What type of Shampoo/Conditioner?: Usually Tresemme. But give me anything that lathers well and doesn't smell like burning seaweed and I'm good.

-Have you ever been skinny dipping?: Not since I was a baby.

-Do you make fun of people?: Constantly.

-Have you ever been convicted of a crime?: No. But I'll keep you posted.

-One pillow or two?: Um, four. I like pillows.

-Pets: One arrogant but adorable little black and gold tortoiseshell cat named Kalpana. Just adopted her this past summer.

-Favorite Movies: Rocky Horror, The Fugitive, The Holy Grail, the Star Wars movies (the old ones, not the boring new ones).

-Favorite type of music: Define "type."

-Hobbies: Writing, hiking, birdwatching, crocheting, reading, thinking too much.

-Word or Phrase you overuse: Right on, holy sweet f*ck, you're a bunch of sickos, kill me now, shut up Dusty, fabulous, oh I am so sure, huh?, dude no way, *unintelligible groan*.

-Toothpaste: Definitely. Whatever kind is cheapest at the drug store, I'm easy to please.

-Piercing or tattoos: No tattoos. My ears are pierced, but I don't often wear earrings because I'm horribly allergic to most metals.

-Do you get along with your parents?: I get along with my mother, one of my stepmothers, and my father. As for the fruitcake my father is married to, I prefer not to hang with her.

-Favorite beer: The Marzen from Sudwerk of Davis, CA.

-Favorite song at the moment: At the moment it is "7 Seconds" by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry. But ask me again in an hour. I am getting a hankering for the idiotic Dino cover of "Ooh Child" like nobody's business.

-Most humiliating moment: You don't want to hear it. You really don't. But since you asked. I was 13, still pretty new to the exciting world of Female Physiological Issues, and, well, let's just say I had an unexpected episode of Female Physiological Issues right in front of my entire 8th grade earth sciences class, ok? I told you you didn't want to hear it.

-Favorite Holiday: Halloween.
