Sorry I haven't been replying or commenting much. I've been keeping up with journals and threads and whatnot, I just haven't had much to say in the past few days (or the fortitude to write it all out, if I did).
So here's a quiz I stole from Yatsu because I love this stuff:
(ok, so it's actually 2 quizzes, but it all blends together)
So here's a quiz I stole from Yatsu because I love this stuff:
(ok, so it's actually 2 quizzes, but it all blends together)
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
x: are you a deep or light sleeper?
Fairly deep, and I can usually just roll over and go back to sleep if I wake up (I do it all the time on the weekends), but lately I've been having really freaky dreams, and that's totally been messing me up.
x: do you have a fixed bedtime or do you go whenever your tired?
None of the above? If I had a brain I'd go to bed when I'm tired, but I usually overshoot that point by at least an hour.
x: what size is your bed?
"Bed" is being generous. I sleep on a mattress on the floor (the frame broke and I haven't bought a new one yet). It's only a twin-size, too. Crappy in every way.
x: do you share it with anyone?
Even if I did, there wouldn't be room.
x: what colour sheets and duvet do you have?
The sheets are beige with green and yellow leaves on them. They were the cheapest ones, so I just have several sets of the same sheets. My duvet is blue and white polka-dots.
x: how many pillows?
One, but I also ball up my baby blanket and use that as a pillow.
x: do you have stuffed toys on your bed?
Not right now. If I happen to stop by the Pokemon store in Nagoya again though....
x: do you ever wake up in the middle of the night?
Yes, almost every night, usually after being woken up by a horribly uncomfortable dream. I hate it.
x: did you know that everyone has at least several dreams per night?
Yes, and most of mine torment me lately.
x: do you remember your dreams?
I write them down in my journal whenever I can. Sometimes I forget about them and come across them months later, it's pretty interesting.
x: describe your last most vivid dream?
Last night I had a dream that I lived in an apartment complex and one of my neighbors was this crazy stalker/killer. I came home one night and realized it, and was afraid to go up to my apartment because I knew something bad was going to happen. I grabbed a policeman who was in the lobby of the building for some reason and gave him my evidence, he went up to take care of the guy. I hid in a stair well behind the front desk and was so afraid to go up, even with the cop there, that I spent the entire night sleeping on the stairs.
x: do you often have nightmares?
If you've read this far, you know the answer.
x: what was the last nightmare you had?
Well, the one last night was pretty unnerving.
x: do you own your own computer or is it a family computer?
It's mine, I live alone, I paid for it.
x: are you good with computers?
I get by. I know how to waste time at work using Wikipedia.
x: do you have your own mobile phone or phone line?
Both. The phone line is part of a package with my internet and is pretty cheap.
x: what kind of TV do you own?
A tiny one I hardly ever watch.
x: DVD player?
PS2 for my region 2's, laptop for the region 1's.
x: VCR?
Yes, but between three of us we couldn't figure out how to hook it up when we replaced the broken tv.
x: hair dryer?
Yes. For me AND my wig styling.
x: hair straightners/curling tongs?
Don't need a straightener, don't have enough hair for curlers.
FOOD & DRINK
x: are you a vegetarian or a carnivore?
Omnivore. Lately it's mostly fish and rice.
x: what are your favourite foods?
Pizza, Mexican cuisine, Skittles (all of which are hard to come by in Japan); sushi (which I eat almost every day).
x: where is your favourite restaurant?
Wish Bone in Chicago.
x: fast food restaurant?
Taco Bell, which Japan doesn't have. If I had to pick one here, I'd go with Mos Burger. Mmm, rice burgers!
x: do you eat out often?
I hardly cook. Usually I'll just buy sushi or bento from the grocery store.
x: what is your favourite ice cream flavour?
Vanilla soft serve, preferably with some sort of candy mix-in.
x: italian or chinese?
Italian.
x: what is your favourite drink?
Water.
x: do you drink alcohol?
Sometimes.
ANIMALS
