More random facts about Joan
It's easier to talk about myself when someone provides a nice, convenient vehicle for it. Like the questions below, as a matter of fact! I stole these from Dhavid, who stole them from Donovan, who got them from someone else.
Name: Joan!
Piercings: Ears. 1 hole each. Normal spot.
Tattoos: Ze-ro. Zilch. Nada. Nada-gonna-get-any.
Height: 5'4" (and a half)
Shoe size: 8 regular, or 7 1/2 wide
Hair color: I'll go with "somewhere between light brown and dark blonde"
Sibling(s): Yes. (Roy, Bullet, Mr. Accuracy and Karch)
Do
You have a crush on someone: No, although HV keeps thinking I really have that crush on the Wolves player. (I did preface that with an "If I had to pick somebody...", I'm pretty sure.)
You wish you could live somewhere else: Kinda. Wish I could live in a bigger house, out in a nice suburb, nearer my parents. With no loud, annoying, asshole neighbors stomping around upstairs.
You think about suicide: Not for myself... I ponder the "why would anybody do that" or "HOW could anybody do that" sometimes.
You want more piercings: Nah, I've thought about getting 2nd holes in my ears, but I'm kind of old for that now.
You like cleaning: Not at all. And I freely admit that I don't do enough of it. But I do enough to get the job done, and that's kind of what counts.
You like roller coasters: I wish I liked them more. They seem like a lot of fun, but they tend to make me ill and hurt my neck. Guess it depends on the ride. Or maybe the company I'm with.
Write in cursive or print: Most of the time, print. Formal occasions, cursive.
FOR OR AGAINST
Long distance relationships: More power to you if you think you can handle it. I tried a few more times than I'd like to admit. They just plain suck, and I hope I never have to go through one again. I accept their legitimacy as a form of dating, but I don't recommend it, ever.
Killing people: Totally against. Still kinda wrestling with capital punishment though.
Suicide: I'm not sure how to answer this. It's kind of your right to do it if you want, I guess (despite what the law says), especially in those fun Kevorkian medical situations. I just wish it didn't happen so much to people who have another choice.
Teenage smoking: Against. Not that it's going to stop anyone. I'm against all smoking. Especially if it's within 100 feet of me.
Driving drunk: 100% against. I hate knowing people who do it. They should know better, but they do it anyway. How do you get them to stop?
Gay/Lesbians: 100% for. I've thought about marching in the Gay Pride parade, especially after all the stupid anti-gay-marriage crap. Let people - of all races, genders, orientations, religions, what-have-you - live their lives in peace. I'm sure we have better stuff to spend our energy on than worrying about this. And anyone that has a fundamental belief that it is somehow against God's will, to you I say, it's not your problem to deal with it. Prove it by leaving everyone well enough alone and let God deal with it however He wills when the time comes.
Soap Opreas: They seem to fulfill some kind of niche, so, why not? Just don't make me watch 'em. (That goes for you too, HV). And considering what *I* watch, how much can I really argue here?
HAVE YOU
Ever cried over a girl: Sure. Mostly because girls are mean.
Ever cried over a boy: Ha. (That's a yes.)
Ever been in a fight: Does sparring count? Never been in a non-sanctioned, impromptu, "I'm gonna knock your block off, bitch!" kind of thing. Not my style. SO not my style.
Ever been arrested: Wouldn't you be surprised if I said yes? But, no.
WHAT
Shampoo do you use: Right now it's in the line of Pantene products. Something about preserving hair color, for shades of hair between "butternut" and "honey". As if you didn't know those highlights weren't real...
Shoes do you wear: I have no idea. My 2 pairs of sneakers are Nike and Skechers. My other stuff tends to be whatever comes in wide sizes at DSW, looks decent, and isn't hella expensive.
Are you scared of death: Almost to the point of a psychological disorder, yes. Thinking about it can (and does) put me into panic attacks. I'm going to have to deal with that someday.
NUMBER
Of times you have been in love: Actually? I would say 3.
Of time you have had your heart broken: Hard to figure out what counts here, but there were 2 instances that profoundly affected me.
Of hearts I have broken: Maybe 2, that I know of.
Of girls you've kissed: If you count the cheek-kissing custom of the French, this number's pretty high. But # of girls I've kissed in a non-platonic way, none.
Of girls you've slept with: None. Although I've had dreams... but I dream a lot of really odd things, so that's nothing to go on.
Of guys you've kissed: Uh. One tends to lose track at this stage of life. More than 10, fewer than 30. I think.
Of guys you've slept with: I think I won't answer this. My mother and father and at least some of my brothers read this blog, and I'm quite sure that even if they think they want to know, they don't.
Of people you would classify as true, could trust your life with type of friend: Off the top of my head, 4.
Of scars on your soul: Interesting question... Are the scars on my heart different than the scars on my soul?
Of scars on your body: No idea. Countless. Apparently my back pretty much always look like I lost a fight with a cat-o-nine-tails, thanks to my cat's hobby of jumping up on my shoulders when I'm not looking. (Ow). Four or five others have stories to them.
Of things in your past that you regret: A few... the one that jumped into mind first was "being so much of a wallflower".
FAVORITE
4 letter word: Does this have to be a swear word? I probably say "damn" the most, followed closely by "crap". I'm trying to cut back on the others.
Actor/Actress: Tallulah's pretty much the only actor/actress I know in person. But even if she weren't, she'd still be my favorite. :)
Cartoon: The Simpsons, right now.
Cereal: I don't know what they put in Fruity Pebbles, but I'm hooked beyond belief. I don't buy it anymore because I can't stop once I do.
Chewing gum: Meh. Don't chew a lot of gum. Sticks to my dental work.
Color(s): Royal blue, Cornell red, kelly green, a nice solid purple.
Nail polish: Clear? Don't really wear it. I think it makes my hands look funny, and it's too hard to put on my toes.
Day of week: Saturday!
Flower: I saw some amazing ones in Africa. Of course, I have no idea what they are. African violets are nice, though.
Jello flavor: Orange
Jewelry: I rotate every now and then, but my staples are a watch from Dhavid's mom (until I get the battery fixed on my old one, but it's been over a year now), my Cornell class ring or the tanzanite ring HV gave me, the pearl/gold necklace from Dad, bronze leaf earrings from Bullet's wife, and the item I'm never without is the gold chain bracelet that is a mini version of one Mom used to have when I was a kid. (Because I'm a mini version of Mom!)
Fall/Spring: Spring. I love the way spring smells, and the future promise of summer that it holds.
Trampolines or swimming pools: Always wished for a trampoline, but I think that would get old. I'll say swimming pool.
WHO LAST
Slept in your bed: I'm pretty sure there are cats sleeping in my bed right at this moment. (Ha, bet you were expecting something juicier!)
Saw you cry: Kenyon. See below.
Made you cry: Kenyon. He makes me laugh so damn hard... I used like 3 tissues last time. HV and Mom make me cry from laughing too.
Yelled at you: An instructor at the dojo, probably. Not in any serious way, but it's the closest I've come in a long time. People don't yell at me. I try not to give people reasonsto yell at me.
HAVE YOU EVER
Said "I love you" and meant it: I always mean it when I say it.
Gone out in public in your pajamas: No. But then, I don't wear pajamas unless I have to.
Kept a secret from everyone: Yes, of course. Is there someone in the world who hasn't?
At anytime owned new kids on the block stuff: Not by choice. I was gifted one of those slap bracelets (back in the day) with NKOTB all over it. Obviously, the person giving it to me didn't know me very well...
Planned your week based on the TV Guide: Nope. And thanks to Tivo, I'll never have to worry about it again.
Been on stage: Does the board break-a-thon last year at the dojo count? How about marching band performances? Other than that, been in some concerts and recitals and a couple plays in elementary school.
Been to New York: Yes. Grew up in the state, lived in the city for a couple of years too.
California: Yes
Hawaii: No
China: No
Canada: Yes
Europe: Yes
Asia: No
Australia: No
South America: No
Puerto Rico: No
Wished your were the opposite sex: All the freakin' time. Guys have it so easy...
What time is it now: It happens to be 3:55 pm CST.
Apples or bananas: Are the apples firm or mushy? Are the bananas just ripe, or too ripe? I'm pretty picky about fruit.
Walmart or Target: Tar-zhay all the way!
What are you gonna do after you finish this: Go back to looking like I'm working. Or maybe I'll go pee. I've been working on this for a while!
Are you bored: Metaphysically? ;) (Just being a smartass. This is fun.)
Last noise you heard: The clickety-clack of my keyboard as I type these words.
Love,
Joan
