[ x ] Are you a lesbian �Errr�not even a little.
[ x ] Where do you live � SW Missouri
[ x ] 4 words that sum you up �Never ever give up.

DESCRIBE YOUR
[ x ] Wallet � A little black leather guy that cost me way too much because it�s a Fossil. I love it, and I love Fossil. Gah�I�m such a girl sometimes.
[ x ] Hairbrush � I have two round brushes, one�s fairly large that I only use when I�ve just washed my hair, the other is smaller and I use it when my hair�s dirty. Yeah, I�m weird.
[ x ] Toothbrush � I have two identical grey Crest toothbrushes. One for the morning, one for night. Again�I�m weird.
[ x ] Jewlery worn daily � The ring my dad gave me for my 14th birthday, a little gold guy with a tiny tiny diamond which I wear on the ring finger of my left hand. Two silver thumb rings that are different variations of Celtic knots. Until Thursday, a silver Celtic knot ring on the ring finger of my right hand, but I got it caught on my bedframe and it nearly tore my finger off and got horribly bent. Yeah�I wasn�t too pleased. I almost always wear a necklace of some description since I�m really self-conscious about the scar on my neck.
[ x ] Pillow cover � One is cream, one is maroon.
[ x ] Blanket � A cream colored suede down-throw.
[ x ] Coffee cup � A 20 oz styrofoam cup, since I always drink coffee at work. I also have an offwhite mug with a palm tree on it that I occasionally use.
[ x ] Sunglasses � I keep friggin losing them. Grrrr!
[ x ] Underwear � Uhhhh�depends on the day.
[ x ] Shoes � I own an obscene number of flip-flops of different variations. Realistically, I usually just wear my black, platform flip-flops. I love shoes with heals, so I have lots of healed-boots and strappy heaed sandals. I have some tennis shoes that I love�New Balance, very comfy. Uhhh�I just have a lot of shoes.
[ x ] Purse � Again, a Fossil that I paid too much for, it�s a green canvas casual purse which I love. I also have a nicer black leather one that I almost never use.
[ x ] Favorite top � Uhhhh�I don�t really have one.
[ x ] Cologne/Perfume � Cool Water for Women, though I don�t usually wear it.
[ x ] CD in stereo right now � Right now I�m not listening to music since my roommate is studying. I think the last thing I listened to was Meteora by Linkin Park.
[ x ] Tattoos � A butterfly on my lower back.
[ x ] Piercings � I have each lobe triple-pierced and the cartilage in my left ear is double-pierced.
[ x ] What you are wearing now � A dark green �Royal Boxing Club� t-shirt from Old Navy, dark blue jeans and my glasses. I look real nice�not.
[ x ] Hair � My hair currently has about 5 different colors in it (see my �Scary Hair Extravaganza� entry for explanation) which create a dirty strawberry blonde color that is surprisingly close to my natural hair color. I have a few layers razored in, and it comes just about to the middle of my back.
[ x ] Makeup �Concealer (when needed) and mascara.

WHO or WHAT (was/is/are)
[ x ] In my mouth � Nothing

[ x ] Some of your favorite movies � Braveheart, Sliding Doors, Fiddler on the Roof, Zoolander, Tommy Boy, The Terminal.
[ x ] Something you're looking forward to in the upcoming month �Uhhh�all the days I get to sleep in. I don�t really have anything exciting planned for this next month. In a little over a month I turn 21, so that should be kinda cool I guess.
[ x ] The last thing you ate � A bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios
[ x ] Something that you are deathly afraid of � That somehow my brother Matt (who passed away when I was 6) can see me and is ashamed of me.
[ x ] Do you like candles � Love em, but we can�t have them in the dorms. Le sigh.
[ x ] Do you like hot wax � I play with hot wax a lot.
[ x ] Do you like incense � Yup, but I can�t burn much of it or it hurts my head.
[ x ] Do you like the taste of blood � It makes me sick to my stomach anymore. When I woke up from my surgery to remove the tumor from my pituitary gland, they had gone in under my lip, so my mouth was full of blood and I swallowed a ton of it. Since then�ugh�just thinking about it makes me queasy. I�m sure you wanted to know that�
[ x ] Do you believe in love - Yeah.
[ x ] Do you believe in soul mates - Dunno. Probably not.
[ x ] Do you believe in love at first sight - Nope
[ x ] Do you believe in Heaven � Yes, though I�m not sure that it will be what most people think of it as being.

[ x ] What do you want done with your body when you die � I can�t say that I really care that much.
[ x ] Who is your worst enemy � Myself sometimes, though that�s a pretty cynical answer. I don�t really have one.
[ x ] If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be � While I think it would be really cool to have a large cat for a pet, I�d probably just stick with a normal cat.
[ x ] What is the latest you've ever stayed up � Pretty sure at one point last semester, I�d been awake for something like 52 hours. I wasn�t a very pleasant person.
[ x ] Ever been to Belgium � Sigh. No, though I�ve been really close.
[ x ] Can you eat with chopsticks - Yup
[ x ] What's your favorite coin � I�m a college student, so the quarter of course! Laundry money!
[ x ] What are 5 cities you wouldn't mind relocating to � Rome, Italy. Ancona, Italy. Venice, Italy. La Mirada, California (Biola is the school where I�d possibly like to do my masters work). Boston, Massachusetts.
[ x ] What are some of your favorite pig out foods � Hmmmm�cake probably would be something that I could seriously pig out on. Chips and salsa too.
[ x ] What's something that you wish people would understand � I�m gunna go with Heather on this one�Me
[ x ] What's something you wish you could understand better � The way people work.
[ x ] Anyone you miss that you haven't seen in a long time � Uhhh�my brother Matt I guess. But that doesn�t really count. I haven�t seen Liz or Hannah or Missy for a while. I miss them.

[Current thing I ought to be doing] Sleeping. I love sleep lots.
