the survey that never ends

i stole this from heather. it's really long.

[ x ] Spell your first name backwards – Liagiba
[ x ] The story behind your LJ user name – Well, this is actually my DL name. But yeah, I guess I just thought it sounded cool.
[ 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 ] In my head – Trying to inspire myself to write more posts at WoTRP.
[ x ] Wishing – I didn’t have to work tomorrow so I could sleep all day.
[ x ] Person you wish you could see right now – I’m an introvert who just spent the weekend in a van with 8 other people. I’m pretty happy alone at the moment.
[ x ] Is next to you – Alias Season 3, Friends Season 7, a box of Strawberry Shortcake Band-Aids and some headphones are next to me on the desk. My bed is right next to that.
[ 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 ] Do you believe in forgiveness – Yes. It’s not easy, but it’s essential.
[ 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.

[Want more piercings?] Yeah. I’d kinda like to get some more in my right ear. I’d also like to get my nose pierced.
[Like cleaning?] Well…I have this weird psychological thing, where if I feel out of control of life, I go on serious cleaning crusades. Actually…in all honesty…I do kinda like to clean. I just am generally too busy to mess with it.
[Write in cursive or print?] Print, with a hint of cursive. It looks pretty stupid.
[Carry a donor card?] Uhhh…I signed the place on the back of my driver’s license.

[Kicked someone in the nuts?] Actually…no

[Held a gun?] Nope.
[Drank?] Very rarely.
[Been so drunk you couldn't remember your name?] Ugh. No. I think that would be a bad bad bad bad feeling. I don’t like feeling out of control.

[Considered being a hooker?] Not so much.

[Made out with JUST a friend?] No.
[Been rejected?] There was definitely a time, in my melodramatic teen years, when I felt that every day of being single was a day of being rejected. However, if you mean like…blatantly, overtly rejected…I can’t say that I’ve put myself out there enough for something like that to happen.
[Been in lust?] Ehh…there are guys that I have definitely thought were hotties, but I don’t think it’s ever been to the point where I was “in lust”.

[Current thing I ought to be doing] Sleeping. I love sleep lots.
[Current windows open] This one, a window to WoTRP, a window to biola.edu (I was looking up the town of La Mirada), and Windows Media Player, though I’m not playing anything.

Do you
[Do drugs?] Aside from Excedrine Migraine and the stuff my Doctor prescribes, nope.
[Have a dream that keeps coming back?] No

[Do they know yet?] Nope
[Collect anything?] I love spun glass ships. I only have 3, but I’d love to get more.
[Have a best friend] Yup

[Daydreamer] Yup
