a survey from [personal profile] darthrami


1. What facial feature do you find the most attractive on others?
Eyes, hands, shoulders, smile.

2. Would you vote for a woman candidate for president?
If a woman were the best candidate for the job, I'd vote for her.

3. Would you marry for money?
Would money be the deciding factor in my marrying someone -- no. Would I marry someone I hadn't intended to if I were going to be paid for it -- probably not, but it's an interesting concept. How soon could I un-marry him?

4. Have you had braces?
No, and I had to remind my dentist of this fact just last week.

5. Do you pluck your eyebrows?
Yes.

6. Do you ever cut or hurt yourself?
On purpose: no. Accidentally: all the time, and I don't always notice. I bruise easily.

7. When was the last time you had a hickey?
Oh, gosh. June? See above, re: bruising easily. Even if nobody intends to leave marks, I tend to get marked up anyway.

9. Do you use ICQ, AOL Buddy list etc..?
Yes.

10. If so, how many people are on your list(s)?
[looks at Trillian] 15 MSN and 113 between AIM, IRC and Yahoo.

11. If you could live in any past time period, which would it be?
Urgh. Let's go with the 1920's. Before the stock market crashed, and when they really knew how to dress. I'd have to have been one of those people who knew how to dress, though. (Shoot, I'd have to have been Dorothy Parker.)

13. Do you wear shoes in the house or take them off?
I normally take them off, although the carpet in this room is such that I don't feel wrong keeping them on.

14. What is your favorite fruit?
Apples.

15. Do you eat wheat bread or white?
White bread. The less nutritive value, the better.

16. What is your favorite place to visit?
I'm a visitor everywhere, now. Um. Someplace where there are people I like.

17. What is the last movie you saw?
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was movie night last night. :-)

18. Do you kiss on the first date?
Date?
No, what I mean is, who needs a date? Yes, I kiss on the first date. I even kiss before the first date, sometimes.

19. Are you photogenic?
Yes I am. Except when I'm not. Pictures of me are either excellent, or horrific.

20. Do you dream in color or black and white?
Color.

21. Are you wearing fingernail polish?
There is old nail polish on my toenails.

22. Do you have any dimples?
Yes. But they are not cute.

23. Do you remember being born?
No.

24. Why do you take surveys?
That's a good question. I'm not sure, really.

25. Do you drink alcohol?
Yes. Yes, I do.

26. Did you like or do you like high school?
On balance, yes.

27. What is the most beautiful language?
Language is a beautiful thing. Each language has its own elegance. (Well, I'm sorry, but it's a stupid question to ask a linguist.)

28. When you are asleep do you like being kissed awake?
I can't remember ever being kissed awake, but I expect I wouldn't like it, because what would wake me up was the sensation of not being able to breathe. Or else neither of us would like it, because upon waking up the first thing I'd do would be to yawn, which would sort of ruin the moment.

29. Do you like sunrises or sunsets the most?
They're both beautiful, and for such similar phenomena they're so different. I can't ever really understand why.

30. Do you want to live to be 100?
If I'm still healthy at that point. And not alone.

31. Do you think women should be expected to shave their body hair?
Expected? No.

32. Do you like salty food or sugary food the most?
Salty, but not too salty.

33. Is a flat stomach important to you?
No.

34. Do you or have you played with a ouija board?
Yes.

35. Are you loyal?
Fiercely.

36. Are you tolerant of other people's beliefs?
Yes.

37. When you watch movies at home, do you like the lights on or off?
Off.

38. Do you believe in magic?
In some way that's not possible to understand, I think.

39. Do you have nightmares frequently?
No.

40. Do you like your nose?
More than I used to. I used to hate it.

41. Do you like abstract art?
Some.

42. Do you think you can draw well?
I like [livejournal.com profile] darthrami's answer: -- Hahahahahahahahaha. ahahahahahaha. NO.

43. Do you listen to music daily?
Not daily, no.

44. Do you like to watch cartoons?
Sure.

45. At what age did you find out that Santa Claus wasn't real?
I don't remember. It must not have been traumatic.

46. How many pairs of shoes do have in your closet?
Aha! I have just moved, so I don't have an obscene number of shoes in my closet. Five pairs: sambas, Frye boots, brown clunky shoes, clogs, dress shoes.

47. Do you like to wear the same shoes everyday or do you like a variety?
I like variety, but I'm a creature of habit. So I go in stretches.

48. Do you write poetry?
I've been known to.

49. Do you snore?
No.

50. Do you sleep more on your back, front, or sides?
On my sides, mostly, but often on my front, with my arms tucked up under me, like a baby.

51. Would you rather have a poodle or a rottweiler?
Urgh.

52. Do you lick stamps?
Like, as a fetish? No. There are no self-adhesive stamps here, so I will have to lick them, yes.

53. Do you use an electric can opener?
I can never figure those things out. Manual can openers are fine for me.

54. Have you ridden in a hot air balloon?
No.

55. Which hurts the most, physical or emotional pain?
Emotional.

56. Do you think balding men should shave their heads?
Should? It's up to them. They often look better that way, but how they want to look is their business.

57. Do you know anyone who is clinically depressed?
Hells, yeah.

58. Do you prefer a piano or a violin?
Piano.

59. Are you a sex addict?
No.

60. Do you know someone who has cancer?
Yes.

61. Do you hunt?
No.

62. Do you like fast food joints, or expensive restaurants?

About three inches above my waist.

71. Do you get along with your parents?
Yes.

72. What color of eyes do you prefer?
What kind of question is that?

74. What medications do you take?
Birth control pills. Also sudafed.

75. What does your bedroom look like?
A cell.
Nah, it's not bad. Cream-colored walls, desk built in under the window, single bed with a lamp built into the wall above it so there'd be no point moving it anywhere else, armoire/wardrobe (called "cupboard"), bookshelf, sink in the corner. Couple of chairs. Institutional carpet. Plaid curtains, but really, I've seen worse. Nightstand. The thing is that I am contractually precluded from sticking anything to the walls -- I can pin stuff to the bulletin board over the foot of the bed, and I can hang as much as I want to from picture hooks on the crown molding. But at the moment, the walls are bare.

I can see requiring no nailing to the walls, but...no sticking? No tape, no sticky tack, no nothing? Crazy. And depressing.

Why are your dimples not cute? (I am very bad at visualizing peoples' faces, so I can't imagine your dimples right now and insist that no, really, they ARE cute, but I"m curious what your take is)

[identity profile] darthfox.livejournal.com 2004-10-07 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
no tape, no sticky tack, nothing that will damage the paintwork. (their standard of "damage" is a little unreasonable, yes. but they're not kidding about not wanting to see things affixed to the walls.) then they might have to -- gasp! -- repaint between residents.

inventory of fox's dimples:
under my eyes -- not cute at all. just looks like extra puffiness.
cheeks -- not very dimply. hard to see.

it's not that i think they're un-cute, the cheek dimples; just that they're not proactively cute.

[identity profile] mearagrrl.livejournal.com 2004-10-07 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see.

I never think about my dimples as existing (or being something unusual) until someone starts talking about dimples. It wouldn't normally occur to me to describe myself as having them.
