rachg82This is how you know you're out of shape, folks: you jog in place for ten minutes on Monday night and are still sore on Friday. You'd think walking everyday would matter, but apparently not. I think that's probably a sign that I need to work out more often, huh? Yeah, thought so.
And while I'm being random:
-Ladies Figure Skating last night:
Kim Yu-Na kicked ass, Asada was fantastic, and Rochette went out there & earned her bronze medal, which made me incredibly happy for her. And while no Americans medaled this year, I still thought they did a great job as well. All in all, it was probably one of the most exciting ladies free skates I've seen in a while, with the competition between Asada & Yu-Na, and everything going on with Rochette, and the spirit with which all the skaters performed. Great stuff.
-I still have a cold, and my head & ears hurt, but I'm feeling less mopey today. My mom never called my sister and never called me back either after Wednesday night, even though she's been talking to my grandma, so that pretty much says it all (bear in mind I not only told her about the text messages, but also about the creepy "cop a feel" hugs, etc). Why did I sit around worrying about her when she obviously cares so little about us? I mean, seriously. Also, remember how I said I figured her "okay-ness" meant she was staying with him? Turns out I was right. Nanny says Mom told her she thinks Joe just said what he did to "make her mad." Yeah, 'cause that makes sense. Except that it doesn't. Sorry Mom, this is effed up no matter how you look at it, but rock on with your denial. As for me, this is where I get off the Dysfunction Train, thanks.
Oh, and in other (not really) hilarious news: Mom also told her she'd never had a problem with pain pills before this. Excuse me for a second while I CRACK UP. I guess my grandma got really mad at her for that. It's just a good thing I wasn't talking to her at the time or my head might've exploded. And I like my head much better in its non-exploded state, so I'm gonna be grateful for that.
-Tonight I started what looks like will be a frakkin' epic picspam project, inspired by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nnaylime's recent awesome post comparing Buffy to BSG. I'd been noticing for a long time certain similarities between my different fandoms--not to mention the fact that so much of my flist seems to be in love with the same shows just in general--and had wanted to post about that anyway, and then the above post really made me want to do it & tonight I thought of it again & decided it'd be fun to try. So, expect a post from me in the next day or two making up ridiculous comparisons between the following shows (excluding of course any comparisons already covered by the post noted above): X-Files, Bones, Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse, & Battlestar Galactica. Oh yes, all of them. You see now why it's going to be epic?
-Because "wasting time" is the theme of the evening, how about I steal a survey fromcareyleah?
1. What curse word do you use the most?
Fuck. Shit comes in at a close second. And if I'm really in a mood, perhaps "Shit motherfucker fuck shit." (points to whoever knows what character/tv show I got that from)
2. Do you own an iPod?
No. Once again, just like the cell phone thing, I'm probably one of the last people alive in North America who doesn't.
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
On the phone?dosidella. Online: probably keenai or britishwannabe1, in terms of comments.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
Six & six thirty usually (my alarm clock allows me to set two different times. I also have a second alarm clock, which I'll sometimes set as a back-up)
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Of course. My first kiss I don't really count though, because it was from a guy who was kissing a bunch of people at a party (don't ask). My first real kiss was from a guy I met at a Rocky Horror Picture Show at sixteen. I was so disgusted by the kiss though (he was a horrible kisser) that I thought something was wrong with me, so I told my friends about it and they were like "Are you sure you're not gay?" Which, okay, they were half right! Ha. Well, more like 70% right. Hee.
6. Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?
Here in Oregon at my mom's house, because I was still living at home at the time (I was 19). I woke up at 8:30 in the morning to the phone ringing off the hook, and I remember I called my sister back while I was in the bathroom, expecting it to be something wrong with my mom, and her first words to me were "The twin towers are gone!", and I was like "What?!" It was so unreal, God. The rest of the day was spent on the couch with my mouth just hanging open, crying pretty much non-stop. I'll never forget the images I saw on the news that day.
I still remember going back to work later that week too. It was when I still worked at Sears, and the mall was just DEAD EMPTY. And the few customers that did show up all spoke super quietly and took time to stop & ask me how I was, like how people would act to a family member after someone died. It was surreal.
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
I like taking pictures, but I don't mind being in one as long as I don't look totally horrible.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
French Kiss (on cable). Before that, Avatar.
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Yes. This is how you know you're getting old, isn't it?
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Yes.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
Sometimes, but not all that often.
12. What cd is currently in your cd player?
A Beatles Greatest Hits CD.
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
Regular, though I love Hot Chocolate. I usually drink Lactaid though, because I have a sensitive stomach.
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Not this week. Last week, yes. Obviously.
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
Sometime in the last couple weeks. I pretty much never see my sister anymore without making a stop there. She gets her coffee & I get my chai tea latte. This is the northwest, you know. You can't go more than a month without someone dragging you into a coffee shop.
16. Can you whistle?
Yes.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Well, isn't that an awfully heterocentric question? Heh. For both opposite & same sex I'd probably say the face. (the ass comes later)
18. What are you looking forward to?
Bones coming back! Also, hopefully seeing Jen & Kevin again this summer, if they can afford it.
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Please, you think tv-addiction like this was born overnight? Of course I did. All the '80s and early '90s cartoons: The Smurfs, The Snorks, Scooby Doo, David the Gnome, Muppet Babies, He-Man (what?), Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Duck Tales, the list goes on. . .
20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
None that I wear anymore, but for sentimental reasons I still own some, yeah. Tori Amos, Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins, probably a Nine Inch Nails one somewhere too.
21. What will you be doing in one hour?
Probably working on that picspam. Or asleep. Depends how long the caffeine from the diet pepsi I was just drinking keeps me goin'.
22. Is anyone in love with you?
Not that I know of, though I'm usually the last to know anyway. The first time I danced with Amy, she COMPLETELY grabbed my ass, but I wrote it off because she was drunk. Then later she was like "didn't you know I liked you? Hello, I GRABBED YOUR ASS" and I was like "oh, so you *did* mean to do that! Okay." Heh.
23. What was the last song you heard?
*nods to current music choice*
24. When was the last time you cried?
The day before yesterday for obvious reasons. Stupid family.
25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop?
Desktop.
26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
No. I actually don't have any. I had my ears pierced when I was eleven, got an infection, and was like "fuck this" and let them close up. Never felt the need to have them re-pierced. I'm not much of a jewelry person.
27. What’s the weather like?
Drizzly (i.e. sprinkles/light rain), as per usual here.
28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos?
With some tattoos, sure. But I don't think I'd like it if they were literally covered in them, like that jig-saw guy in "Humbug" (X-Philes, you know what I'm talking about here).
29. What did you do before this?
Grabbed some pasta from the Italian take-out place down the street, started gathering pics for my picspam, talked on the phone to my sister, etc.
30. When is the last time you slept on the floor?
Well, it wasn't the floor, but I slept on an air-mattress back in the summer of '07, when Jen & Kevin came here to visit for a week. I forced them to take my bed, which they (sweetly) gave me crap for the entire time. Heh.
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I've gone with no sleep & still functioned, but to function well? Seven or eight hours, although I rarely get that. I usually get around six or six and a half.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
Yes. Usually oatmeal or cereal, now that I'm trying to eat better.
33. Are your days fast-paced?
So-so. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
34. What did you do last night?
Lay on the couch feeling sick & emo, watching tv.
35. Do you use sarcasm?
No.[/sarcastic] And by that I mean yes.
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
29. My twenties are almost over, holy crap.
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
Yes. I throw an internal tantrum everytime I see a misused apostrophe. I am extremely comma-challenged though. Commas are pretty much my nemesis. I'm almost never 100% sure if I'm using them properly.
38. Have you ever been to six flags?
Yes. I was terrified almost the entire time. (not so much a fan of roller coasters as a child)
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
I get along fine with both, but I usually don't feel as close emotionally to the opposite sex.
40. Do you like mustard?
No, but I do like honey mustard.
41. Do you sleep on your side?
Yeah. I toss back & forth a lot between sides though.
42. Do you watch the news?
Not often, but I will watch the local news sometimes. I'm more apt to read the news online. I go to cnn.com on my breaks at work a lot.
43. How did you get one of your scars?
It's pretty faded now, but I have one on my left knee from a camping trip I went on during my senior year of high school. It was with the hiking group (I wasn't a member, but had a lot of friends who were, and they let me tag along), and I was walking through the woods when a bee starting buzzing around my head, causing me to start running like a spaz. The bee apparently had it in for me because it continued flying after me (it was like "When Bees Attack", for real), and in my spazzy haste to escape I tried to jump over a fallen log as high as my waist and skinned my knee along the way. SMOOTH. My friends laughed & laughed when I made it back to the camp & explained the bleeding, lemme tell you.
44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
My mom. Aside from family, though? The Tea Party & Fox News. HATE THEM BOTH.
45. Do you like anybody?
Yes. That girl at work I told you guys about a while back. You know, the one I have absolutely no chance with? Right. Le sigh.
46. What is the last thing you purchased?
See above, re: the dinner I purchased tonight. Mmm rigatoni. . .
47. What side of the heart do you draw first?
The left.
48. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
You mean jump? You can't dive if you're plugging your nose, dude. But yes, I probably could, although I'd rather not. I can't dive at all, and I'm not a huge fan of jumping in the water period. I'm kind of a chicken about it.
49. What colour is your razor?
Blue & white, I think? I really don't care enough to go check.
50. What is your blood-type?
I don't know. The evil, selfish part of me hopes it's not o-positive, because that's my mom's blood type and if I'm a match it means I'd have to decide whether to give her one of my kidneys, should the doctors ever deem her mentally stable enough for the transplant.
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Mary Louise Parker, Gillian Anderson, Lauren Graham, Emily Deschanel, or Mary McDonnell, assuming one of them suddenly turned gay & developed a thing for really short chicks. Man, I'm super gay today. Ha. All right, to pay respects to my straight side, we'll also include Mulder, Booth, or Adama. Yes, the characters. Look, it's my fantasy, okay?
52. What is a rumour someone has spread about you?
None that I know of. Although I do remember this guy who had it out for me in the 8th grade (he hated me because I called him a poser. Ah, junior high. Good times) trying to convince everyone at my table in class that he'd seen me at some party getting it on with this boy who obviously had a crush on me at the time. It was fine until the word "slut" started getting thrown around, which couldn't have been further from the truth, believe me. A bunch of other girls--who oddly enough were friends with this boy--rescued me by taking me to their table & giving him a major bitchfacing, and then my teacher decided to finally pay attention to what was going on & actually came over & got mad at ME for the whole thing. Again, and this time with feeling: junior high, good times!
53. How do you feel about carrots?
Yummy. But only if they're cooked. I don't like them raw.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Er, one. That says something bad, doesn't it? Nobody ever eats there! It's a tiny table.
55. Which is the best Spice Girl?
None of them. But if I had to choose: Posh Spice.
56. Do you know what time it is?
Hammer-time! (Sorry, memories of the early '90s coming back at me. Blame it on the cartoon question.)
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?
*begins to sing it*
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Start singing that Aerosmith "lovin' in an elevator" song, just to freak out whoever I'm with. Ha.
59. What’s your favourite kind of gum?
Anything with cinnamon. I try not to chew gum very often though, because it makes my jaw hurt (something about having an uneven jaw or something according to my doctors, I don't know)
60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
False.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Yes, but I'm trying to will it to go away. They're already taken. And likely straight. And probably not a good match for me anyway. And we work together. Not that any of this stops the crush though, oh no. Stupid irrational emotions.
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Not that I can think of. If I don't know the meaning, I try not to use the word.
63. Do you like to sleep?
Who doesn't?
64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time?
Arizona. Beyond that, ya got me.
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Hello, born in '82 here. Of course I do. I love that song.
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
Ew, no. New mustangs are shit cars. Now, a mustang from the '60s on the other hand? That'd be a different story. I'd prefer it not be yellow though.
67. What’s something you’ve always wanted?
To feel wanted and loved, like I belong somewhere. To be happy.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
Right now, yes. DON'T JUDGE.
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Depends. Are we talking about the ocean up here by Oregon? Forget it. That shit is COLD. (Although of course I swam in it as a kid) But the ocean further south? Definitely. Otherwise though, if the choice is just around here, I'd go with a lake.
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Not particularly. I have a few black tops though, and lots of black hoodies.
71. Describe your hair:
A lot like this right now:
That pic was taken two years ago, but the cut is very similar (just a tad shorter) and the color is too, although it's a little darker now.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
That's fear of bugs I'm guessing, right? Only if they're in my house. Or on me, if they have lots of legs. The more legs, the more creeped out I am.
73. Are you an adult?
Yes. No one seems to be able to tell though. I bought robitussin at the store last night (which you have to show ID for here. Gotta love the methheads!) and the cashier was like "you're 18, right?" Everyone stops & stares when I walk into a bar, it's hilarious.
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
Pittsburgh. I have online friends all over the world though.
75. Do you have a tan?
Ha, no. Pretty much pale as casper year-round, here.
76. Are you a television addict?
Uhh. . .*glances at last six months of lj posts*. . .YES.
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
When she's sane & non-inebriated? Yes. The rest of the time? No.
78. Are you a sugar freak?
Not especially. I like it though.
79. Do you like orange juice?
Only every now & then.
80. What sign are you?
Aquarius. We're so special, we get our own Age!
-Vid of the Day. With all my talk of figure skating lately, I thought it'd be appropriate to share this clip with you guys from one of my favorite shows (Infomania). For those who have been paying attention, a good portion of the mainstream media of late has been SUPER CONCERNED with Weir's flamey fabulousness, which is dealt with hilariously in this vid. LOVE THIS GUY:

You mean jump? You can't dive if you're plugging your nose, dude. But yes, I probably could, although I'd rather not. I can't dive at all, and I'm not a huge fan of jumping in the water period. I'm kind of a chicken about it.
49. What colour is your razor?
Blue & white, I think? I really don't care enough to go check.
50. What is your blood-type?
I don't know. The evil, selfish part of me hopes it's not o-positive, because that's my mom's blood type and if I'm a match it means I'd have to decide whether to give her one of my kidneys, should the doctors ever deem her mentally stable enough for the transplant.
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Mary Louise Parker, Gillian Anderson, Lauren Graham, Emily Deschanel, or Mary McDonnell, assuming one of them suddenly turned gay & developed a thing for really short chicks. Man, I'm super gay today. Ha. All right, to pay respects to my straight side, we'll also include Mulder, Booth, or Adama. Yes, the characters. Look, it's my fantasy, okay?
52. What is a rumour someone has spread about you?
None that I know of. Although I do remember this guy who had it out for me in the 8th grade (he hated me because I called him a poser. Ah, junior high. Good times) trying to convince everyone at my table in class that he'd seen me at some party getting it on with this boy who obviously had a crush on me at the time. It was fine until the word "slut" started getting thrown around, which couldn't have been further from the truth, believe me. A bunch of other girls--who oddly enough were friends with this boy--rescued me by taking me to their table & giving him a major bitchfacing, and then my teacher decided to finally pay attention to what was going on & actually came over & got mad at ME for the whole thing. Again, and this time with feeling: junior high, good times!
53. How do you feel about carrots?
Yummy. But only if they're cooked. I don't like them raw.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Er, one. That says something bad, doesn't it? Nobody ever eats there! It's a tiny table.
55. Which is the best Spice Girl?
None of them. But if I had to choose: Posh Spice.
56. Do you know what time it is?
Hammer-time! (Sorry, memories of the early '90s coming back at me. Blame it on the cartoon question.)
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?
*begins to sing it*
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Start singing that Aerosmith "lovin' in an elevator" song, just to freak out whoever I'm with. Ha.
59. What’s your favourite kind of gum?
Anything with cinnamon. I try not to chew gum very often though, because it makes my jaw hurt (something about having an uneven jaw or something according to my doctors, I don't know)
60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
False.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Yes, but I'm trying to will it to go away. They're already taken. And likely straight. And probably not a good match for me anyway. And we work together. Not that any of this stops the crush though, oh no. Stupid irrational emotions.
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Not that I can think of. If I don't know the meaning, I try not to use the word.
63. Do you like to sleep?
Who doesn't?
64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time?
Arizona. Beyond that, ya got me.
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Hello, born in '82 here. Of course I do. I love that song.
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
Ew, no. New mustangs are shit cars. Now, a mustang from the '60s on the other hand? That'd be a different story. I'd prefer it not be yellow though.
67. What’s something you’ve always wanted?
To feel wanted and loved, like I belong somewhere. To be happy.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
Right now, yes. DON'T JUDGE.
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Depends. Are we talking about the ocean up here by Oregon? Forget it. That shit is COLD. (Although of course I swam in it as a kid) But the ocean further south? Definitely. Otherwise though, if the choice is just around here, I'd go with a lake.
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Not particularly. I have a few black tops though, and lots of black hoodies.
71. Describe your hair:
A lot like this right now:
That pic was taken two years ago, but the cut is very similar (just a tad shorter) and the color is too, although it's a little darker now.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
That's fear of bugs I'm guessing, right? Only if they're in my house. Or on me, if they have lots of legs. The more legs, the more creeped out I am.
73. Are you an adult?
Yes. No one seems to be able to tell though. I bought robitussin at the store last night (which you have to show ID for here. Gotta love the methheads!) and the cashier was like "you're 18, right?" Everyone stops & stares when I walk into a bar, it's hilarious.
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
Pittsburgh. I have online friends all over the world though.
75. Do you have a tan?
Ha, no. Pretty much pale as casper year-round, here.
76. Are you a television addict?
Uhh. . .*glances at last six months of lj posts*. . .YES.
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?
When she's sane & non-inebriated? Yes. The rest of the time? No.
78. Are you a sugar freak?
Not especially. I like it though.
79. Do you like orange juice?
Only every now & then.
80. What sign are you?
Aquarius. We're so special, we get our own Age!
-Vid of the Day. With all my talk of figure skating lately, I thought it'd be appropriate to share this clip with you guys from one of my favorite shows (Infomania). For those who have been paying attention, a good portion of the mainstream media of late has been SUPER CONCERNED with Weir's flamey fabulousness, which is dealt with hilariously in this vid. LOVE THIS GUY:
