fauxorzayus. Tis a long meme. 80 (read: "eight-zero") questions. Lots of little nuggets about me.
1. Are you in love?
No. I feel moved to pull out a lighter and start swaying along with Foreigner's I Want to Know What Love Is or whateverthehell that song is titled.
2. How did you get the idea for your profile name?
Fredericks, Sam Fredericks. Character from Tad William's "Otherland" series. She reminded me of a young me. And I thought the relationship between her and Orlando hit close to home.
3. What time were you born?
3:13 PM
4. Has the death of a celebrity ever made you cry?
Leslie Cheung. The entry I made about his passing was rather idiotic (all the entries I made back then were idiotic; I was pretty stupid three years ago) but I did shed more than a few tears. I think if I'd been getting enough rest and exercise I would have taken it better. Too stressed out back then.
5. What color underwear are you wearing?
Red. Not by choice. I keep forgetting to put my clothes to wash.
6. Do you want a baby?
I'd like a *child*, yes. Although not now. Not until I figure out if I want one for the wrong reasons.
7. What do you want to be when you grow up?
HAWT. No, something in healthcare I suppose.
8. What are the last 3 digits of your phone number?
Why? This is such a stupid question.
9. What was the last concert you attended?
I can't. remember. Jesus. I think it might have been NIN waaaaay back in 1999.
10. Who was with you?
Me and a couple thousand wannabe goth Providence kids.
11. What was the last movie you watched?
Something New. Caught it last Friday I believe. Not bad. 7/10.
12. Who do you dislike most at this moment?
I have NO clue. Probably my back as I have a crick in it at the moment and it refuses to go away.
13. What food do you crave right now?
I'm pretty damn full at the moment. I could do with a cup of herbal tea though. Might go make some ginger in a few.
14. Did you dream last night?
I did, and I think it was great. I just can't recall it at the moment.
15. What was the last TV show you watched?
The new Justice League Unlimited episode. The Flash is awesome. He needs his own show. I like how they got his wife on-screen even though in the JLU TV show world they're not married yet.
16. What is your favorite piece of jewelry?
The silver bangles my grandmother got me last time she was in Trinidad. I love the way they look on my arm and the sound they make. I'm a simple woman.
17. What is to the left of you?
Two pillows in blue and pink cases and the wall.
18. What was the last thing you ate?
A bit of the dinner I made. Some weird stuffed meatloaf and mom's reheated cook-up rice. Not a fan of the meatloaf but the masses seemed to like it.
19. Who is your best friend of the opposite sex?
I don't think I have one. I suppose if I'm wrong someone will chime in all outraged. The chances of that happening? Very small.
20. Write a song lyric that's in your head.
"Some days, some nights, some live, some die, in the way of the samurai". That and the end theme song, but as the latter is in Japanese I can't type that out.
21. Who last IMd you?
lostmiseashellz. She's such a sweetheart.
22. Where is your significant other right now?
Where's YOUR significant other, huh? Huh?
23. Do you have a crush?
Not really, no. I'm pretty good at squashing those things out of existence fast.
24. What is his/her name?
See Question 23.
25. How many people on your friends list have you made out with?
Zero. Not that I wouldn't french all of 'em if I had the chance. And if they wanted to. There'd probably be a spun bottle involved.
26. When was the last time you cut your hair?
Hmm. Maybe back in October. I can't remember.
27. Are you on any meds?
No.
28. Do you have a mental disease?
"Mental disease"? How old was the person who put this question in here?
29. What shirt are you wearing?
Green tee with a few battle stains from my time cooking the aforementioned meatloaf. I should change but I think I'll hold out until bedtime. Because I'm really lazy.
30. What color is your razor?
As I'd been bereft of cash for a while I used the grey "manly" moderately priced razor we picked up a while back. Now that I have money I'll go back to my girly light blue Venus model.
31. How many people on your friends list have you had sex with?
::mutters:: Carry the one, subtract ten...
Zero.
32. Whats on your mind right now?
Because of the razor question that stupid Bananarama song is running through my mind. God that video was cheesy.
33. How many tattoos do you have?
None. I might get a piercing if I bone up. Tats? No.
34. What's your favorite store?
Midtown Comics. The one by Times Square in particular. I don't go there nearly as much as I'd like.
35. Are you thirsty?
A little. I got thirstier upon reading this question. Damn.
36. Can you imagine yourself ever getting married?
I do. Then I imagine myself being cheated on and I want to punch something. The other person would have to be as willing to work as I am.
37. Who's someone you haven't seen in a while and miss?
Someone. I miss him.
38. Have you ever been searched by the cops?
No.
39. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?
Sometimes. I realized as I did it more and more that I'd stopped enjoying roller coaster rides. Now they scare the crap out of me more than anything else.
40.Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?
It would depend on who that person is. Sometimes being close to a warm body you know cares about you is awesome, other times you just wish they'd stop hogging the covers and breathing their hot breath on your neck.
41. Do you believe in ghosts?
No.
42. Do you consider yourself creative?
I think I have a good imagination when I need to, but I'm a surprisingly concrete individual when all is said and done.
43. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
Angelina. She just seems more fun.
44. Can you honestly say you know anything about politics?
What a dumb question. I agree withfauxorzayus's answer here:
45. Do you know how to play poker?
A bit. I watched some episodes of Celebrity Poker Showdown, I'm not going to front.
46. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
I believe I made it to 40 hours or something along those lines one time. Not by choice, of course. It wasn't fun. I slept for 12 hours afterwards.
47. Have you ever cheated on a test?
When I was younger, yes. Most everyone's tried the "glance over to the other person's paper" in elementary, I think.
48. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around...?
I'd be dreaming. I don't have a license and, embarrassingly enough, sometimes I confuse the break and gas pedal. I wish I was joking.
49. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?
Most of the stuff I know is a secret as the number of people I can open up to has dwindled to naught recently.
50. Have you ever Ice Skated?
No. I think I'd like to, though.
51. When was the last time you laughed so hard you were crying?
I can't recall. It happens a lot when I'm very tired, though. The tears come like nothing.
52. Do you believe in love at first sight?
No. Lust at first sight. Love is more than the physical.
53. Do you know who Ba-Ba-Booey is?
No. And somehow I'm glad.
54. Do you always wear your seatbelt?
99% of the time, yes. I've seen too many episodes of Life in the ER and The Critical Hour to forget how messed up people get when they're in accidents and are not wearing their seat belts.
55. What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I had the mental fortitude to get myself to write well. At first I was going to say I wish I could write well, but I realized I may have that skill and it's languishing like a hidden diamond. Or something else profound.
56. What do you wear to bed?
A nightgown. If it's really freezing I pull out a pair of sleep sweats.
57. Have you been caught stealing?
I keep the klepto tendencies to a minimum.
58. Do you truly hate anyone?
No. I don't really do hate.
59. Have you played nintendo?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
60. Do you have a relative in prison?
No.
61. Have you ever sang in front of the mirror?
No. I sing everywhere else, though. I'd be too self-conscious to sing in the mirror. It'd be like having an audience.
62. Do you know how to play chess?
Yes. Not very well, but I can play. I really liked playing that computerized chess game where the pieces came alive.
63. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?
No. I hate that crap.
64. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?
I do it periodically, although it depends on how offended I feel personally. Last time I stood up for this young woman who was getting yelled at by this old lady at Starbucks. The old lady was going on and on about people that come to Starbucks to use their computers and do schoolwork saying Starbucks wasn't a library. I turned around and said we're paying customers and STFU you old biddie. Well, I didn't say "STFU" but I did make the valid point that people that sit to study in Starbucks are paying customers and there's no limit to the amount of time you can stay in the store. God. Cranky old bag. She needed to go back home and watch Matlock.
65. When is the last time you threw up from drinking too much?
Never. I've only drunk to get drunk once or twice, and I found that my tolerance is rather low. One Sam Adams and things start spinning. Two and I'm knocked out.
66. Have you ever walked out on a movie at the theater?
Once. My brother paid for me to see Scary Movie 2 and...Jesus, that was bad. I left after the first 20 minutes. He was pissed I wasted his money, I was pissed he was tasteless enough to sit through the whole thing.
67. Do you ever sit through a bad movie, just to see how bad it can get?
No. I have no tolerance for movies I think are bad. Seriously. Sometimes I'll want to go all MST3K on them but I can't make it through.
68. Would you consider yourself obsessed with anything/anyone?
I obsess about certain things that strike my fancy. At the moment it's Samurai Champloo. But it's a light obsession, as these things tend to be.
69. Have you ever met someone famous that you really wanted to meet?
I've met Neil Gaiman and Tad Williams. I was much more overwhelmed meeting Gaiman. He seemed much nicer on the whole.
70. Have you ever had sex with someone famous?
No. Not even in dreams. I might say "omigod s/he's hot" on the occasion but I don't fantasize about anyone. I speak truth.
71. Have you ever been stood up?
No.
72. When's the last time you screamed at the top of your lungs?
I don't know. What an odd question.
73. Did you ever do something that you didn't want to, just to fit in?
No. That's just wrong.
74. Do you consider yourself "the biggest fan" of something?
No. The whole "biggest fan" thing is ridiculous.
75. Ever went to bed with both socks on, to wake up with one or both missing?
Yes. I do roll around a little when trying to get comfortable. It happens.
76. For gay marriages?
I'm for anyone getting married. Marriage is a union of love. AND marriage is hard. No need to make it an exclusive club-type thing.
77. Have you ever stood in the shower for 10 minutes just standing there?
Yes. Those nights when it's cold or those mornings when you're tired as all hell...the shower is the place to be.
78. Average hours you sleep at night?
6-7
79. Ever been caught doing something you shouldnt have?
Yes. Haven't we all?
80. For long distant relationships?
What the hell? If I'm against it will they all stop or something? *sigh*
I'm neutral on them. How's that for an answer?
fauxorzayus. Tis a long meme. 80 (read: "eight-zero") questions. Lots of little nuggets about me. 1. Are you in love?
