Whatever.
Seven things I want to do before I die:
1) Write a book that is published.
2) Travel too many portions of Europe to list here (other areas too, but the places I really want to go are Europe)
3) Find a paying job that I not only don't hate, but that I actually enjoy, if only certain parts.
4) Graduate from college. I'm late starting, so this will take a while.
5) Own a nice house, not an apartment.
6) Have enough money that I don't really have to worry about it. (Note: this will never happen no matter how much I make, and don't think I'm not aware of it)
7) Get married, I guess. But in a while.
Seven things I can not do:
1) Sing very well at all, not that I care all that much.
2) Draw. Seriously, my brain has no concept of perspective or depth. It's really pathetic.
3) evr get used 2 ppl riting lyke dis. not dat i wanna lol roflmao
4) Finish a goddamn survey. I mean, what the fuck, these questions are boring and inane and I'm supposed to come up with seven answers? It's not fun and it's not interesting to write at all. What is the point of these things? You're no closer to knowing who I am and what makes me tick than if I wrote the mind-numbingly dull events of my day. I suppose it doesn't help that I have a very difficult time answering questions like this on the spot for some reason. Nevertheless, I can't see writing anything really personal and eye-opening in one of these. Can you imagine?
Q: What event most changed your life?
A: I suppose it would be when I was molested at age seven. The guy my mom hired turned out to be a total pervert who made me play "games" with him. At the time, I sort of took them to be somewhat innocent; from a child's perspective, there's nothing inherently wrong with it, and he never hurt me. But when I awakened sexually in my pre-teen years, I realized how deeply it had affected me. I thought it was too late to tell anyone, though, and until just now I'd never realized that it wasn't. It wasn't a conscious thought, you understand, that it was too late to tell anyone...I just always have felt an impotence about this whole situation. Perhaps I should try to track the guy down. I now have an extremely difficult time with anything sexual; I clam up before I can lose myself in the moment. I'd give anything to have my innocence back. Or, barring that, getting one clean shot at that fucker's face.
Q: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
A: Cherry Garcia! Yummy!! ^__^
Yeah. I don't see that happening. Not that I'm really mad, you understand, I just thought this would be at least sorta fun to fill out, but damn is it tedious. I'm sitting here, still trying to think of things I can't do, and it's not that I think I'm so fucking capable, but at the same time, I'd like to not fill it with boring shit like stuff in gym class I wasn't good at. Let's skip down and see if this survey gets more interesting.
Seven things that attract me to Arizona:
Nope, boring. I go to school there. No other thing.
Seven things I say most often:
1) Fuck
2) The thing is
3) This shit is boring also. You don't care. I sure as fuck don't care. The thing is, you have to know a person before shit like this is meaningful. And even then, it's just something to tease people about when you're both drunk and hanging out, so that's not very interesting either.
Seven books (or series) that I love:
Better. These are ranked in the order I thought of them, not in order of how much I liked them. Ask me any other time and you might get seven different books.
1) Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
2) Sandman by Neil Gaiman
3) The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe
4) "The Death of Doctor Island" also by Gene Wolfe (it's a novella, but I reread it recently and it's better than 99% of all books you're going to read, so it counts)
5) Roots by Alex Haley
6) Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
7) The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Seven movies I watch over and over again:
Also okay. Same deal on the ranking thing.
1) Seven Samurai
2) The Lady Vanishes (Flightplan was a shitty semi-remake of this)
3) His Girl Friday
4) Out of Sight
5) Iron Giant
6) Beauty and the Beast (Cocteau)
7) Badlands
Oh, and the only other part was the people who by my decree also have to take the survey, but under the circumstances I don't think that part is advisable, so I'm done now.
