TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

Today I am just feeling doing a meme. Also, I have a very attractice picture of myself knitting, and my friend Kim in the background, that I'd like to share:

I'm a generally unfuckwitted, liberal, tight as fuck, pathetically simple-minded, dribbling child!
See how compatible you are with me!
Brought to you by Rum and Monkey

When was the last time you shaved?
When I showered on Saturday. I have showered since then, but not shaved.

What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.?
Sleeping, of course. Dreaming about moving in with some family with like 5 kids and taking all my clothes over there.

What were you doing 15 minutes ago?
This general sort of internet thing. Specifically, I think I was reading people's new blog entries via bloglines.

Are you any good at math?
Not bad at the basics. But I don't have the desire to work hard to understand harder stuff.

Your prom night?
Junior prom was miserable. boring. not worth the $$$ so I stayed home from senior ball. I probably went to a show.


Do you have any famous ancestors?
William Frawley, who played Fred Mertz on "I Love Lucy" was my great-grandma's cousin.   

Have you ever taken out a loan to pay for school?
Not yet!

Last thing received in the mail?
bank statement, i think.

How many different beverages have you drunk today?
just a glass of milk.

Do you ever leave messages on people's answering machine?
if they don't answer, sure.

Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?
yeah, but i forgot to last time. i was going to be super cheezy and write my and boyfriend's name and draw a heart and all that jazz.

What's the most painful dental procedure you've had?
Maybe having my Herbst appliance put in and taken out. That thing sucked. It was to fix my overbite. rather than to pull it forward with rubber bands (it was almost a centimeter overbite) they use this weird appliance to push it forward. bars and such. and it would come undone every once in a while, like during a yawn. or it would get stuck. no wonder i was such a nerd as a kid!

What is out your back door?
patio, complete with four hibiscus plants and a fountain. also, usually a dog or two.

Any plans for Friday night?
partying, of course. my friend Raime's birthday happened to land on Friday the 13th.

Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
Most of the time, I straighten the shit out of my curly hair so that sort of wind and humidity is a nightmare. When it's not straightened within an inch of its life, it is curled and hairsprayed to death.

Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different kinds of popcorn for Christmas?
nope. and hopefully it stays that way.

Have you ever been to a planetarium?
sadly, no. however, from south reno (weird, i know) the stars are amazing. also, in the middle of pennsylvania. (Did I ever tell the story of staying at my mom's uncle's house in the middle of nowhere in PA? I had never been that far away from, uh stuff! It was quite a doozy. Pitch black at night. They have bears and shit. We saw a woodchuck.)

Do you re-use towels after you shower?
of course. i don't like to do laundry every 2 days.

Some things you are excited about?
partying this weekend.

What is your favorite flavor of JELLO?
strawberry.

Are any of your great-grandparents still alive?
Nope. (I was thinking about this the other day, my great-grandmas had some awesome names: Hazel, Lillian, Ivy, and Blanche.)

Where do you keep your change?
pockets, wallet, Mason jar. I am looking for a cute change purse.

When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group of people?
probably the last time i danced out and announced what i was dancing.

What kind of winter coat do you have?
a black peacoat, which is ill-fitting and has shoulder pads. also the kind with a fake fur collar. like a parka-ish thing.

What was the weather like on your graduation day?
warm?

Do you sleep with the door to your room open or closed?
closed
