1) What did you eat for breakfast this morning?

2) Are you planning to go see a movie anytime soon?
Eh, not really. I thought about seeing Magic Mike last weekend, when it was like, 106 degrees outside, but couldn’t get off of the couch, I was melting. Yes, I wouldn’t mind seeing Magic Mike. None of the actors in it interest me much, but hey, they have no shirts on, so why not?
3) Do you ever look at your old school pictures when you were little?
Of course! :) I love reminiscing about my younger days.

No, thank goodness.
9) If you could change your hair color, what would you change it to?
I love my natural hair color. That’s why I’ve never changed it. Don’t want to either! :)
10) Do you often use hair scrunchies?
Every day! The little black band type ones, not the big, puffy cloth ones. Though I do have many of those from my younger days! ;)
11) Or do you call them something different?
Nope, I still call them scrunchies. Despite the fact that it is now the year 2012.

I can draw in general, so I can do both pretty well, I guess, lmao.
17) Do you take your time opening envelopes or do you just rip it open?
It depends. Sometimes, I want to be very careful, and other times, it looks like a dog got a hold of it, lmao. Most of the time, it’s the latter, haha.

26) What color are your speakers for your computer?
I have a laptop, so black.
27) What color are the doors in your house?
Most are just wood, some are white, and mine is black, because I spontaneously painted it when I was a teenager. What a dumb decision that was, now I’m stuck with an ugly black door that I’ve yet to get rid of. Soon, door. Soon.
28) Do you have a separate laundry room?
Uh, random? Yes, I guess you could say that. There’s an actual room dedicated for doing laundry, it’s not like, smushed together with the kitchen, or something.
29) How many windows are in the room that you’re in?
Too lazy to count.
30) Did you cry when you watched Titanic?
I haven’t seen it in many years, but honestly, no. I still probably wouldn’t cry at it now. Isn’t that horrible?! I never cry at sad movies, I feel stupid doing so, lmao. The one movie that almost got me was Marley & Me. NEVER AGAIN!
31) Would you rather watch a comedy or chick flick?

Uh, no.
37) What was the last thing you said aloud?
“Yah.” Profound, I know.

39) When’s the last time you drank Gatorade?
I have no idea, it’s probably been years. I try to avoid eating/drinking things with food coloring in it, plus water’s just better for you. No sugar! :)
40) Do you sometimes need help opening water bottles, Gatorade bottles, etc.?
Sometimes, rarely. Most of the time, my parents come to me, asking me to open stuff for them, lmao.
41) When was the last time you had a sleepover?
Oh, wow. Probably like, sophomore or junior year in high school? Times sure flies..

Michael Bublé. ;)

No way. How could you hate the beach?

I’m a perfectionist, so I’m very thorough. Good, I guess! :)

Who was the last person you texted before going to bed last night?
I didn’t text anyone before I went to bed.

Nah. I’m currently not looking for anything serious, so who cares if I’m mentally dating a celebrity? lol. :)
Do you think you could last in a relationship for 6 months?

[Credit: survey from Facebook Notes.]
1) Have you ever met someone you thought you’d never meet, or ran into someone you thought you’d never see again?
Like, celebrities, or everyday people? Or both? Celebrities, many people. Michael Bublé (sort of), Naturally 7, Randy Napoleon, Freddy Cole, Ashley Parker Angel, Jerry Mathers, Paul Vogt, etc. Everyday people, sure. I’ve met many wonderful people who I just feel so lucky to have met. :) As far as running into someone I never thought I’d see again, sure! Who hasn’t? Not celebrities though, it’s not like I just run into them all the time, hahahaha. :)
2) How often do you buy books?
Not very often, but when I do, I go on a major spree, haha! :) If I don’t buy physical books, I look to see if they’re available online. I also have the Kobo app on my PlayBook, which allows me to download and read books. :)
3) Have you ever gotten caught skipping class or trying to skip class?
Nah. In college, YOU’RE paying for your classes, so if you want to skip a class (or more) one day, have at it! Your professors don’t care, they’re getting paid whether you’re there or not, lmao (although of course, you’d benefit from going).
4) What’s one way you have changed, but wish you didn’t?
I’ve changed a lot over the years. It’s natural, and I’m a better person because of those changes—I wouldn’t have things any other way.
5) Do you think polygamy is wrong or acceptable?
It’s not really my place to comment on this, but basically, it’s not right for me. Some people are okay with having multiple spouses, or being one of someone’s multiple spouses, but that’d never fly with me. I couldn’t do it! Morally, I think people should be married to one person only, but again, it’s none of my business. If it makes you happy, that’s all that matters. :)
6) Did you/do you ever get frustrated with certain courses/topics in school, feeling that you won’t/wouldn’t need them later in your life?
Duh, who hasn’t (yes)?
7) Would you rather your music be very loud or on the quiet side?
My mantra in life when it comes to music is: “If you’re not listening to music loud, you’re not listening to music.” :) Any type of music, it’s gotta be loud.
8) Are there any really famous/common movies (such as The Wizard of Oz, or Titanic) that you haven’t seen?
Uh, I think I’ve seen most of the really big ones, but there are some I haven’t seen. The Godfather, for example. I know! But Mafia stuff and violence scares me, which makes my already existing anxiety even worse, haha. :)
9) In what ways are you very judgmental?
Eh, it’s just typical stuff that we all get wrapped up in sometimes. We’re all human, it happens.
10) What’s your main problem in life right now?
My anxiety—my OCD specifically. It’s really a major problem that’s affecting my everyday life. It makes me miserable, just miserable. But, I have faith that God’s taking care of me. ♥
11) Do you think religions like Buddhism and Hinduism are fascinating or boring?
Fascinating, definitely. Though I’m a Christian, I definitely love exploring others’ ideologies.
12) Did you know the myth about chocolate being good for a broken heart is actually true?
No. Is this really true? I can believe it.
13) Do you ever even believe the random facts surveys sometimes give like the one above (because the last question is 100% true)?
I don’t know, I guess. I usually look everything up first, before I believe it.
14) Do you think big sunglasses are ugly or cute?
Cute! Unless they look ridiculously big, or something, that’d look silly! :)
15) Do you think it’s stupid how some people send over 300 text messages in a day, or is that okay in your opinion?
Who am I, the texting police? I don’t care how many texts someone sends per day, whatever floats your boat. Personally, I couldn’t send 300 texts a day, but some can, and I say if you want to, and can afford it, go for it. :)
16) What’s one natural disaster you’re afraid of?
Pretty much any kind, though I think I’d have to go with earthquakes specifically. They just make you feel so hopeless. I’ve only experienced two—the first one was nothing, and the second one (the big East Coast one on 8.23.11) was effin’ scary. It was a 5.9, which is nothing compared to some we’ve seen, but unnerving nonetheless.
17) Do you ever listen to music when you take surveys?
I have.
18) What are your favorite things to post along with surveys (pictures, song lyrics, quotes, etc.)?
Eh, occasional quotes, or lyrics, maybe, but that’s about it.
19) Have you ever had to practice for a lockdown?
Yes. Scary, even though they’re just drills—you just start thinking about what it is you’re potentially preparing for, and imagine what the real situation might be like, should it actually become a reality, etc. It just freaks you out. My school went on lockdown a few years ago due to a shooting (yes, a shooting), but thank the Lord I wasn’t there that day. I did show up that morning, but something just didn’t feel right, so I took the day off, and went out with my friend. I’m so glad I did that.
20) Do you think bands like Metallica are overrated? Or is it Justin Bieber and people like him who are overrated?
Metallica, overrated? No way! Justin Bieber and the like, however, yes, for sure. Justin’s a talented kid, no doubt, like, I can’t sing to save my life, I just don’t have “Bieber Fever,” is all. My Fever is for Michael Bublé. ;)
21) Do you think it’s stupid how certain musicians don’t even write their own music, but still get all the money, just for performing?
Life isn’t always fair, my friends.
22) Do you enjoy the rush of adrenaline when you’re scared/worked up, or do you dislike the feeling?
If I’m standing up for someone, or something I believe in, it ultimately feels good, yes, but if I’m scared, no way.
23) What’s your opinion on physical fighting?
If you’re just fighting for the sake of fighting, it’s low-class. If you’re fighting because you’re in mortal danger, that’s self-defense.
24) What, in your opinion, makes a girl look “trashy” or “skanky”?
Too much makeup, lack of clothing, etc. You can look beautiful with just enough makeup, and clothes that aren’t so revealing that nothing is left to the imagination. Just look at Adele—she’s stunning! :)
25) Do your “favorites” change often?
Eh, not really. Occasionally.
26) What was the reason or joke behind why you last laughed so hard you cried?
I don’t remember, I’m always laughing about everything! :)
27) Have you ever read a biography on someone?
I think so, yes.
28) What’s your opinion on how society is all about conformity?
Well, it is all about conformity. That’s where people like myself come in—come on, guys, let’s rebel! :)
29) What was the last thing someone said to you that offended you?
I don’t remember. Probably better that way.
30) Do you consider marijuana to be a drug or a plant, or can you see both sides? What do you think of the whole debate on whether marijuana is a drug or a plant?
It’s both, I guess. A plant that makes you high when consumed, therefore making it a drug as well. Seems pretty obvious to me, I don’t know why people are debating about it, lol.
[Credit: survey from Facebook Notes.]
Do you like champagne?
Never had it before, but it looks..eh, okay.
Chandler, Joey, or Ross from Friends?
Chandler, definitely Chandler. Though Joey is adorably stupid.. But, I can’t resist Chandler’s sarcasm. He’s such a smarta**. ;)
Do you use your charm or intellect most?
Eh, I don’t know. Charm, perhaps. I don’t like to overdo it on the intellect until I get to know a person better. I’m more lighthearted, and airy at first. Then, we can get into deeper discussions later. :)
Do you like cinnamon on your apple pie?
Cinnamon is some tasty, tasty tree bark (sure).
Do you clap or cheer when at a concert?
I do EVERYTHING at concerts. It’s embarrassing, really. Scream, cheer, clap, dance, all of it. I go mad. If you get embarrassed easily, you may not want to go to a concert with me. ;)
Do you ever make out shapes in the clouds?
Of course! It’s a must. :)
Ever played Cludo? Do you like it?
Who-do? Never heard of it. I’m intrigued. I don’t know if I like it or not, because I’ve never played it.
What’s your favorite kind of cocktail?
Not sure. I’d like to try a mojito sometime, they just look so yummy.
Do you drink coffee? What brand?
I used to, semi-regularly. Now, not so much, because of my anxiety (caffeine). I can handle decaf okay, if it’s available (I need to try making my own coffee). Mostly Starbucks. How unoriginal, I know, but in my opinion, that’s some good coffee.
Do you prefer coins or notes/bills?
Bills, I hate fooling around with change. MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY! .. MONEY!
Do you prefer Coke or Dr Pepper?
They’re both good, but of course, Coke. It’s a classic, what can I say?
Do you feel the cold easier or the heat?
The heat. I’m always hot, rarely cold.
What color do you like the least? Why?
I don’t know, maybe orange? It’s just not a very appealing color to me. But, can’t make a rainbow without it. :)
What color clothes do you not wear?
Again, probably orange.
Do you use a comb or brush?
ME, brush MY HAIR with a COMB?! HAHAHAHA, good one. I need a brush for my hair, please.
How much does the coat you usually wear cost?
Lately, I’ve just been wearing my NOVA hoodie everywhere. It cost maybe $15-$20, give or take.
Cottage or Shepherd’s Pie?
Don’t know if I’ve ever had Cottage Pie, so Shepherd’s Pie, I guess.
Have you ever been called a coward? What for?
Nope, don’t think so. N/A.
What do you usually get a craving for?
CHOCOLATE.
Do you eat the crust of your sandwiches?
I ain’t picky (yes). Waste not, want not.
Do you curse a lot?
Nah. The only time I’ll actually curse is if I’m like, furious, which doesn’t happen often, haha. It takes a lot to truly make me angry.
Have you ever had a vacation where you stayed in a cabin?
Actually, yes. My family and I stayed at a little resort in Shenandoah National Park for a long weekend several years ago—it was so beautiful, and calming. Relaxing in a cabin that overlooks the Shenandoah Valley? I think yes.
Do you call them cabs or taxis?
Both, but more so taxis.
What do you normally order at a cafe?
I usually order a café with my French mustache, while I smoke a cigarette in my long sleeve, black and white striped shirt and beret.
..
Kidding. I love cafes, but there aren’t many intriguing ones around here. If I was at one though, I’d most likely order a coffee or tea, and maybe some kind of pastry, or something. :)
What flavor cake do you like most?
CHOCOLATE. CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE.
Would you rather call or text?
Text. I feel tied down when I’m on the phone. I’m free to multitask while I’m texting.
Would you call yourself a calm person?
HAHAHAHA. No.
Do you prefer the name Callum or Kal?
Neither one, to be honest.
P.S. Callum makes me think of calcium.
Do you have your own digital camera?
Several, yes.
Have you ever gone camping? If so, where did you go and for how long?
Ehhhh, I don’t do camping. N/A.
Can you drive a car? If not yet, will you?
Yes. N/A on the second question.
Do you save your Christmas and Birthday cards or throw them out?
..
Who would throw out Christmas and Birthday cards?! :( That makes me sad. I always keep every card I receive—someone took time out of their day to do something special for me, and I appreciate that. :)
Do you prefer being paid with cash or check?
Cash, because I sometimes forget to cash checks. I wait so long that the bank can no longer cash them, lmao.
Do you have, or have you had any cats? Names?
NOOOO. No. I’m extremely allergic. N/A for the names.
Do you have a favorite catchphrase? If so, what?
Probably, but I can’t think of anything at the moment. You know that guy on Jersey Shore who says, “Che cosa?” I frickin’ love that. I say it all the time, drives my Mom crazy, hahaa. :)
Would you rather do catering, engineering, or biology?
None of them, really.
Are you cautious or a little too wild?
I love to have fun, but I’m responsible as well. Call me a funsucker, but it’s vital that you use your brain even while you’re enjoying yourself. It’s not that hard, just common sense.
What celebrity do you most look like?
None, really, though I have been told I resemble Adrienne Armstrong a little bit, which is an honor—she’s awesome, and so pretty! :)
Do you like being at home?
Yes, of course! There’s no place like home. ♥
Do you have a problem with: overeating or undereating?
A little bit of both. If I’m feeling depressed, etc., I might eat too much, or too little—it depends.
Do you have siblings?
Nope. Only child.
Who last gave you money?
My Granddad. :)
How are you feeling?
Okay. A little tired, because I had a minor panic attack early yesterday morning. :( But, I’m not going to dwell on that—just keep looking forward! :)
What do you hate talking about with people?
The usual: religion, politics, money, etc. If the setting is right, okay (maybe), but other than that, it gets people all worked up, and I just want to enjoy my meal.
On the other hand, what do you have no problem talking about with people?
Whatever, I’m game for most topics, though I especially love intellectual discussions, something with some substance to it, you know? :)
What color would you dye your hair right now if you could, and it was guaranteed to look good?
Probably a really awesome shade of purple. That’d be fun. :D
What do you think of Britney Spears’ If You Seek Amy (the whole secret meaning, F-U-C-K ME)?
..Is that really what that song means? Wow. Anyway, I don’t know if I’ve heard it before, I hate Britney Spears.
Rank these accents in order from favorite to least favorite: English, Australian, New Zealand, American.
English, American, Australian, New Zealand.
Are you and your best friend very similar or very opposite?
A little bit of both. We’re similar in many ways, and different in many ways as well, as with any two people. :)
What is your Mother’s first name?

♥ Thursday, January 26th, 2012 @ 07:22 PM[Credit: survey from Facebook-Notes.Com.]
What’s your number one goal in life?
To just be healthier in every way: physically, mentally, and spiritually. I want to be free from my anxiety once and for all, just break these chains that are holding me back from truly living, and enjoying my life.
How far are you willing to go to get to it?
I’d do anything to reach my goals. That’s why I keep on keeping on, because I know that the only way I’ll ever get to where I want to be is by not giving up. Nothing, and no one will stand in the way of my dreams.
Would you give it up for your soulmate if you could only have one or the other?
Ooh, that’s a really tough question. I know this survey is what’s proposing the ultimatum, not my hypothetical soulmate, but if my soulmate were a true soulmate, he’d help me reach my goals, and want to help me reach my goals—I’d do the same.
Do you think you’ll ever get it?
I don’t think it, I know it.
New topic: would you pick your friends or your family?
Another tough question! I believe that family always comes first, though I also love my friends very, very much, and even consider many of them family. I know the point of this question is to choose one or the other, but I’m not going to choose. I just love who I love. :)
Why?
Again, I just love who I love. :) ♥
What would you do if a friend betrayed you? Let it go because it’s not worth it or break off the friendship?
This already happened to me a couple years ago, so I feel I can answer this more accurately than if I hadn’t experienced this. Someone who used to be one of my best friends hurt me very badly—they said something about me behind my back that was just too hurtful to ignore. I was extremely angry to say the least, and confronted them about it. There was nothing on their end. No remorse, nothing. I didn’t cut ties immediately, in case there really was some sort of misunderstanding, but they never tried to resolve anything on their part, so our friendship ended, done. If it’s something stupid that you can work on over time, forgive and forget. But if it’s too hurtful, you’ve got to remember what you’re worth, and cut ties.
Read the following quote: “It was [us] against the world… In the end, the world always wins. That’s just the way the way of things.” —The Kite Runner
Do you agree with this?
Nope.
Why or why not?
Only someone with a defeated attitude believes that the world always wins. Every once in a while, an underdog steps up to inspire everyone, and ultimately change things for the better. :)
Do you follow any religion?
Yes, I’m Christian. I consider myself to be somewhere in between a Methodist and a Baptist, as my Mom was raised a Methodist, and my Dad a Baptist.
Is it important to you and has it changed your life?
Most certainly, and yes, of course it’s changed my life (for the better)! It’s good to have a relationship with the Man Upstairs, it makes you a stronger individual, and encourages you to live well in every way.
What do you think the world needs to learn?
I wish people would just live their lives, and let others live their lives as well—live, and let live. Do what makes you happy, and live for yourself, no one else. Finally, just stay out of everyone’s business. If it doesn’t concern you, stay out of it. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing, worry only about yourself, and what you’re doing.
What matters most to you?
My family and friends. That’s it. Nothing else.
What would you go through for love?
As in what would I go through to be with someone, or how far would I allow the downs of a relationship to go? To be with someone, anything, if I know they’re the one for me. For the latter, I know there’ll always be downs in every relationship no matter what, but if it ever got to the point of being abusive, that relationship would immediately be over. BYE!
[Credit: survey from surveys1o1.]
Do you still talk to the person you liked four months ago?
I’ve liked the same person (Michael Bublé) for five years. Yes, he’s a celebrity, and no, I don’t know him personally, but nonetheless, NO REGRETSSSS. Anyway, if he actually knew me, and it was actually possible for us to talk, you BET I’d still be talking to him now, for sure! ;)
Is it still possible to kiss the last person you kissed?
The last person I kissed was my Dad, on the cheek. But anyway, technically, yes. :)
Why aren’t you texting the last person you kissed?
Ugh, this survey.. Are we in high school, or?
What do you currently hear?
Jersey Shore, on TV.
Where were you last night?
Home.
Do you own any jeans from American Eagle?
HAHA! Like I’d be able to fit into a pair of jeans from AMERICAN EAGLE (no)!
Do you hate it when people smoke around you?
YES. I’m very sensitive to smoke. :( Plus, it kinda makes me angry as well, because I made a conscious decision not to smoke, so it’s like, you know, stop smoking around me.
Are you afraid to tell your true feelings?
It depends on who I’m talking to. However, even if I’m talking to someone I really trust, it’s still very hard to share everything.
Can you commit to one person?
Of course (assuming they’re fully committed to me as well)!
Did you talk to someone until you fell asleep last night?
No, but I love nights like that! :)
What movie do you want to see?
There are a few I wanna see!
Do you think anyone has feelings for you?
Nah. At least, not that I’m aware of, anyway. If someone does have feelings for me, surely I’d want them to tell me—I just might like them back.
Would you ever dye your hair blonde?
No. Never. One, I just don’t want to be blonde, and two, I’d look hideous with blonde hair. I can’t tell you how many people have told me to never dye my hair blonde, lollol.
Is there someone who’s always on your mind?
Yes. Michael Bublé, of course! LOL, my answer is kinda ironic, as Michael covered a song called Always On My Mind. :)
Do you live by yourself?
Nope.
Do you own a pair of skinny jeans?
SEVERAL pairs.
How are you wearing your hair right now?
In a ponytail.
Have you kissed anyone with the name starting with an A?
No. At least, not romantically. If anyone, it was family.
Be honest, do you want to be in a relationship three months from now?
No. As of right now, I’m not ready for a relationship. I’m working on myself, and once I’m where I want to be, everything else will come naturally.
Have you ever slept in the same room with someone you liked?
MICHAEL BUBLÉ?! ASDFGHJKL I WISH!
Where is the last person you kissed?
There are an awful lot of kissing questions in this particular survey.
Have you held hands with somebody in the past four days?
No.
Have you ever been to Florida?
Nope! Would like to visit sometime, though. :)
Would you ever run away and get married with no notifications to your family?
No, never! Absolutely not.
What was the first drink you had this morning?
Water, this afternoon.
Do you like falling asleep with someone or alone?
Alone.
Could you go the rest of your life without smoking a cigarette?
Yes, definitely, because I don’t smoke.
When’s the last time you screamed really loud?
Haha, a while ago, when I did that scary lollipop thing on Facebook. Scared me so bad, I almost peed my pants, lmao. It was hilarious at the same time, though!
Where do you want to live when you’re older?
I don’t know, I’m not really sure where I belong. I just kinda have to see where life takes me. :)
When’s the last time you were sick?
Like, a few days after Christmas (2011), it was some stupid cold/viral thing. Sucked so bad, and lasted forever!
Is there a person of the opposite sex who means a lot to you?
Yes! :)
Are all of your friends in relationships?
Not all of them, no, but some are, and some are even married.
Name something you liked about the day you had today.
I have a few things: I felt decent, relatively calm, and ate leftover cookies. :)
How long was your last phone conversation?
Somewhere between fifteen to twenty minutes or more, I believe.
Have you had your Birthday this year yet?
Nope, am looking forward to it, though! :) My Mom and I are already planning it. ;) It’s gonna be something great, something big. I can’t wait! Note: I don’t really wanna be twenty two yet, though. But there’s nothing I can do about it, so oh well! :)
Can you recite the alphabet backwards?
I can, actually! It’s easier than you might think—here, I’ll teach you. It’s a pattern with a rhythm, like so:
ZYX, WV
UTSR, QP
ONM, LKJ
IHG, FED
CBA
Just practice that over and over, and there you go! Learned that in middle school. You don’t forget everything, apparently! ;)
Would you rather have OJ or milk with your breakfast?
Either one would be good, but I think I’d go with milk. Chocolate milk. I’m like, five, lmao.
Do you enjoy watching comedies or horror movies more?
Comedies, definitely. Horror movies are just plain gross, and disturbing. I don’t get why people like them so much. *Shudder*
What will you be doing tomorrow?
Eh, I don’t know. We’ll see.
Do you have clothes that belong to other people?
Nope!
How late did you stay up last night?
LAST NIGHT, LOL! I went to bed at about five or six something this morning. As you can see, I have trouble sleeping.
Has anyone told you “Forever and Always” and then left?
No one romantically, but friend-wise, yes. Their loss.
Do you trust your BF/GF 100%?
I’m single! :)
Angry at anyone?
Eh, I was, but have since realized that they’re not worth a second of my time. If I want to sore like an eagle in life, I’ve got to stop hanging around a bunch of turkeys, as the great pastor, Joel Osteen, would say. :)
Is it hard to make you laugh?
No, not at all! I laugh at everything! :)
Is it okay to kiss people when you’re single?
As long as you’re single, sure! But don’t just put it out there, make them work for it. ;)
Next time you’ll kiss someone?
*Facepalm*
Have you ever broken someone’s heart?
Oh gosh, I don’t know! Hopefully not! :(
Ever gotten yourself into a confusing situation?
Haha, of course! Who hasn’t?
How was last night?
Okay! :)
Have you ever dyed your hair?
Nope, never! That’s why it’s as healthy as it is. :)
Do you miss anyone in your life?
Yes, a few people. :(
How many people of the opposite sex do you trust?
Three or four people, I think! :)
Are you friends with the people you were friends with two years ago?
Most, yes. Some, no. BYE!
Do you honestly have feelings for someone at the moment?
DUH, MICHAEL BUBLÉ! ;) ♥
Is there anything you’re holding back and not saying to someone?
Yah. :(
Have any memories that you’d like to forget?
Yes, a few. But, without those memories, I wouldn’t be who I am today, so I’m thankful for having experienced them.
Which is harder: walking away from someone you love or coming back to someone who hurt you?
Walking away from someone is hard. Coming back to someone who hurt you is just stupid.
If your parents searched your room, would they be mad at what they’d find?
LOL, well, I’m twenty one, so uh, this doesn’t really apply. Actually, it kinda does, because I’m still under their roof, but anyway, they have nothing to worry about. ;)
Have you ever kissed just a friend?
Nope.
Recently kissed anyone with the name starting with an S?
STOP THE KISSING QUESTIONS, PLEASE!
Remember the first time you kissed the last person you kissed?
..You know what?!
I bet you kissed someone today, right?
I hate you.
Did you see a boy today who made you smile?
What are we, twelve? LOL, but no—that would’ve been nice, though. I always like seeing cute guys who make me smile! :)
When’s the last time you were truly, completely happy with your life?
It’s been a while, but I can’t, and won’t dwell on that fact. I’m on my way! ♥
Does anyone know your password besides you?
To what? Whatever it is, nope!
What were you doing thirty minutes ago?
This survey. lol!
Have you ever crawled through a window?
Nope. I’ve tried to before, but yah, wasn’t gonna happen.
Where was your display picture taken?
Which one, like, my Facebook display picture? At home. :)
Something you do a lot?
Talk, think, etc. TOO MUCH! :)

[Credit: survey from ssurveyss.]
1) A selection of television programs you do not care for.
CSI, Two and a Half Men, Teen Mom, Teen Mom 2, Glee (I tried, I really did, couldn’t do it), The Simpsons, Whitney, and many more.
2) A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Kanye West, Madonna, Ke$ha, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, ETC.!
3) A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.
Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian (just really all of the Kardashians), Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton, Megan Fox, Kanye West, Charlie Sheen, Madonna, Ke$ha, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lopez, ETC.! That’s all I’ve got right now (yes, all). I’ll add more as I think of them.
4) A hobby you “don’t get.”
Hunting.
5) A habit you find disgusting.
Picking your nose, haha. Just get a tissue, and blow your nose, please.
6) Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else b*tched over.
Taking notes (sometimes), working alone.
7) Your favorite household chore.
N/A, lol.
8) Popular video games that make you go “meh.”
I’m not a good person to consult about this topic. :)
9) PC or MAC?
Honestly, I’m content with either one, but Macs are more sleek, fresh, and clean-cut, compared to PCs.
10) A sport you don’t like, for whatever reason.
All sports, pretty much. Except for tennis, and hockey, kinda.
11) A sport you like, for whatever reason.
Tennis, because it’s fun to play, and hockey, because Michael (Bublé) loves his hockey. ;)
12) Television programs you love but have gotten sh*t for liking.
Jersey Shore (understandable, lol).
13) Musical artists you love, but have gotten sh*t for liking.
Michael Bublé. Not cool.
14) A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.
Can’t really think of anything.
15) A habit you have that other people bug you over.
Biting my nails. One time, I was on Skype with my friend, Chris—every time I’d start to bite my nails/bite my nails, she’d say, “Don’t bite your nails!” ;) My parents sometimes tell me not to bite my nails as well. :)
16) Something in school you hated doing and it felt like everyone else loved.
Working in groups. While I like working in groups, sometimes I just want to work alone—I get my work done faster that way. In middle school especially, my classmates were so annoying, because they’d always push for working in groups, so that they could talk, while all the nerdy kids (me, and others) did all the work. Then, we’d all (the people who weren’t working included) get a good grade, even though there was no real group effort. Lame. *Thumbs-down*
17) The household chore that makes you want to shoot your own face off.
Dusting. Hate it. Makes me sneeze (allergic to dust).
18) A selection of video games that you enjoy that perhaps you really shouldn’t.
Again, probably not the person to consult about this topic. :)
19) A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand.
I have a few. Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, and probably many others.
20) Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.
I hate when people assume they know what others are all about, and proceed to judge them without having experienced what they’re going through. “Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.” —Jack Handey
[Credit: survey by ssurveyss.]
Have you ever climbed a mountain?
Nope. I’ve always wanted to do that, though. :)
Have you ever been sledding?
Yes, I used to go sledding all the time as a kid, so much fun. I miss it. We need more snow!
Do you think it’s good to occasionally let yourself feel like a kid again?
Of course! Us adults get so uptight about anything and everything, booooring! I say if you want to color a coloring book with crayons, or play with Legos every now and then, by all means, do it. If it’s not interfering with your everyday life (neglecting responsibilities, etc.) then who’s to say what you can and can’t do? :)
Are you afraid of change?
Yah, a little. I think everyone is, to varying degrees.
Have you ever driven drunk?
Noooo. Never. So effin’ irresponsible, honestly.
Do you always say what you need to say?
No. :( But I think about how to improve on that all the time, and am working on it. ♥
What would you say to the one person you hurt the most?
I’d talk to them about what I did, and tell them that I acknowledge the fact that I was in the wrong. Then I’d say I’m sorry.
Have you ever gotten completely lost while driving?
No, thank goodness. But, I easily get lost in general sometimes. Idiot. ;)
Don’t you hate when you’re talking to someone and halfway through you realize they’re not even listening?
I’m a Gemini. This happens to me all the time. I’m used to it. It’s not like anyone’s missing anything important, 99% of what I say is mindless chatter. ;)
Have you ever been in a maze?
Yep. :) Fun, and a bit scary.
Have you ever pressed a flower inside of a book?
I can’t remember, but I know I’ve pressed flower petals. :)
Do you leave the curtains/blinds closed or open while you sleep?
Closed, are you kidding me?! Paranoid. :)
Do you like only using candle light?
Using it for daily tasks, no. To achieve ambiance, yes. Reading, writing, etc., no. Romantic dinners, and jazz shows at an intimate jazz club, yes. :)
Are goodbyes always hard?
It depends on why you’re saying goodbye to someone. Sometimes goodbyes are painful, other times they’re a relief (even though they might still kinda hurt).
Have you ever been to a bonfire?
No, never! I’d love to have one on the beach, though. Just hang out all day, relaxing in the sun, and then chill out by a bonfire at night. :) The hippie in me keeps reminding me how bad bonfires are for the environment though, but they just look soooo nice.
Do you sleep with a night light?
YES. Absolute darkness is incredibly unnerving to me. I don’t want my room to be too bright, but I need to be able to see my hand in front of my face in order to go to sleep. End of.
Have you ever been used?
HA. To simply say yes would be an understatement.
Have you ever let a balloon go just to see how high it would go?
Nope, but I wanna do that! Although, I don’t an animal to eat it, or something, after it’s popped, and landed. :(
Do you buy souvenirs from every place you go to on vacation or a trip?
Pretty much, yes. I like having little mementos from every place I’ve visited. It reminds me of all my amazing memories from that place, allowing me to relive them all over again. :)
Would you want to live to be 100 years old?
If I could live to be 100 without any ailments or illnesses, I’d love to! It’d be amazing to witness the world evolve for another 79 years. :)
Do you like to play hard to get?
Yep! ;) Though I sometimes get impatient with that strategy, lol.
Is there something you did in your past that you feel you will never live down?
Haha, just like, stupid stuff I’ve said, and maybe other embarrassing moments, like falling and whatnot, lmao.
Are you always late?
YES. Always. It’s really, really not you, I’m just that unorganized.
Are you good with words?
So I hear.
Do you dance around when you’re home alone?
HECK YES! :)
Do you prefer the type of guy who is a gentleman or an a**hole? Or a mixture of both?
Definitely the type of guy who’s a gentleman. I don’t like a**holes. Nope. Smarta**es, a little bit, but not a**holes.
Would you ever drink from the fountain of youth if one existed?
If drinking from the fountain only kept me youthful physically, then okay. I say that because I wouldn’t want to remain youthful mentally. I’d never acquire any wisdom that way.
Do you ever say or do something because you KNOW it would make someone mad?
I have, yes. We all have our moods. I’m working on that. ;)
Do you think it’s better to swing and miss or never swing for the fear of striking out?
It’s definitely better to swing and miss than never swing at all, but it’s just getting up the courage to take that first swing that’s so hard (at least for me personally, anyway).
Do you believe opposites attract?
Yes, of course! More serious people need someone silly to balance them out, and more silly people need someone serious to balance them out. I believe we’re attracted to people who are similar to us, as well as people who have certain traits that we’d like to have more of ourselves. I think being around an opposite (not total opposite, but opposite) makes us more well-rounded as individuals.
What was your biggest mistake?
Eh, I’ve made a lot of stupid mistakes, hahaa.
Are you a “take it or leave it” kind of person?
Maybe a little bit. I say what I say, and I am who I am, and if you don’t like me, there’s really nothing I can do about it. I’m just me.
Have you ever saved anyone’s life or has anyone saved yours?
Yes. The second time my Mom and I went to NYC, we were crossing a street when this huge SUV whipped around the corner, almost hitting us. I could feel the deer-in-the-headlights look on my face as I stared back at, well, the headlights on this beast of a vehicle, and was frozen in my tracks. My Mom reached out, and literally touched the hood with her hand. The windows were tinted, but she looked approximately where the driver was sitting, and yelled, “No!” LMAO. At this point, the SUV was stopped, so we continued on to the sidewalk. She saved my life! :) Thank you, Mama! ♥
If you could start and run your own country, what would you call it?
Actually, my friends and I already “started” our own country when we were younger. It’s called Babalu, named after Michael Bublé’s EP, Babalu. You can read about it here. It’s all a part of our world of Bublé’s Nerds. Bet you didn’t expect that answer, did you? ;) Yep, we’re exactly what the group says—nerds. Nerds for Bublé.
When someone is telling you a story do you like them to include all the little details or just get to the point?
I don’t know. I like detail, but not so much of it that it’s taking you ages to get to your point. On the other hand, I don’t like stories that are just over like that either. I guess I’m somewhere in the middle.
Do you tend to laugh/smile at things that aren’t funny because you’re nervous?
Uh, weird question, but yes, perhaps. Haha.
Who is your favorite YouTuber?
Ooh, I have lots of favorites! I really, really love the Kandy Krew: Andrew (AndrewBravener), John (dudeneedaeaseonup), Aubrey (HurricaneAubrey), Meghan (Strawburry17), and Zack (zacharyxbinks). You can find links to their YouTube account on my “Other Links” page. I also really love Ben Sharkey (bensharkey), Kingsley (ItsKingsleyBitch), and a whole bunch of other people. I also have to mention Brett Erlich, who now does videos for Viral Video Film School on YouTube (ViralVideoFilmSchool). One more person! I must mention my Dutch buddy, Whitney, who sings on YouTube (WhitneyxEbony).
What is your guilty pleasure song?
I think I’ll have to say Party Rock Anthem, by LMFAO. I REGRET NOTHINGGGG.
What do you do to calm your nerves?
Take lots of deep breaths, distract myself, etc. :)
Have you ever had breakfast in bed?
Not like, a proper breakfast in bed, but I believe when I was little, I used to lie in my parent’s bed when I was sick (their room was the only one with a TV in it at the time), and my Mom would bring me toast and stuff, haha. :)
Do you have a uniform for work or school?
Nope.
How did you learn to swim?
When I was like, 10, at a local pool.
Do you make to-do lists?
All the time. On paper, my BlackBerry, my laptop, my PlayBook—I’ll write notes, and make lists on anything and everything I can write on, or that has a memo pad or notes app on it.
How long have you lived where you’re living now?
21 years, lmao.
Did you wear light up shoes as a kid?
I’m a child of the 90s. Everyone wore light up shoes (yes).
Favorite sports team(s)?
Not a fan of sports, really. I support the Washington Redskins (even though they haven’t been doing so well for a while), and the Washington Nationals, simply because they’re local, and then my baby’s hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks. ;) ♥

✿ What do you find attractive in guys?
Physically: brown eyes, light brown hair, dark brown hair, black hair. Wears suits, is well-dressed in general (formally and casually), wears Converse (I love guys who wear Converse, haha). Average build, I don’t like a lot of muscles, but Zak Bagans is an acception to that rule, lmao. All of his muscles are just right. ;) Preferably taller than me, as I’m a freak (5’10”), lmao, but I don’t discriminate, as I’ve met tons of guys who are slightly shorter than me, yet awesome! ETC.!
Intellectually: intelligent, can, and likes to have intellectual discussions. Hilarious, witty. Kind, sweet, thoughtful. Predictable, yet a bit mysterious as well. Romantic. ETC.!
✿ What’s your idea of the perfect romantic evening?
Dinner, for one, because I’m a fluffy girl who likes her food. :) A romantic, Italian restaurant with jazz classics playing overhead would be perfect, maybe have a little bit of wine. After that, something cute and fun that encourages talking, and lots of playful flirting. Maybe ice-skating or something, that would be really fun! Once I’ve gotten to know a guy, a night out at a local jazz club would be amazing for future dates. ♥
✿ What’s one random fact about you?
I’m madly, madly, madly in love with Michael Bublé. ;) ♥
✿ Where would you like to live?
New York City, Toronto, Vancouver, London, Paris, etc., somewhere like that. A huge place, with lots of people, and excitement. I dream of being that girl who takes a chance, and makes it in a big city all on her own. Realistically though, I’ll probably end up somewhere in DC, maybe, like Georgetown, or something. It’s the perfect mixture of city and suburb. But, you never know.. :) Wherever I end up, I want to live in a little contemporary style townhouse, apartment, or condo. I want something modern, that’s not too big.
✿ What’s one of the things you’re proud of?
I’m really proud of the fact that I’m not an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a chain smoker. Sure, I have some unhealthy habits that I need to give up, but I’m working on it! ;)
✿ What’s one of your insecurities?
My anxiety issues. I feel like I annoy people, but I can’t help worrying so much. :( I try incredibly hard to just relax.
✿ What was your childhood career choice?
I mainly wanted to be a doctor, and an artist. I’ve also always wanted to improve my writing ever since I can remember. Now that I’m all grown up, I realize that longing to improve my writing was me wanting to be a writer. I change my mind all the time, but today, in my heart, I believe that’s still what I want to be.
✿ What’s one of your bad habits?
I’ve said this so many times on my Tumblr! Biting my nails! It’s disgusting, and it must stop! :)
✿ Who do you wish you could be?
I wish I wasn’t so nervous. Also, if I could, I’d love to switch places with Luisana Lopilato, Michael Bublé’s wife, ahaha. I don’t want to be her, and I don’t want her life, I just want to be married to Michael. ;)
✿ Is there a day you wish you could relive? If so, what day, and why?
Yes, November 30th, 2010. Not in a different way—exactly the same, just over and over again! It was a Bublé concert in DC, and for the first time ever, I was really able to get up close and personal with him. It was amazing, everything, all of it. Him reading my gigantic “Hug from you = my life complete” sign aloud, touching his hand and suit sleeve, him tapping my arm, and telling me, “I love you too!” after reading my little “I ♥ you Bubs!” sign, him singing right in front of me, him making a little heart symbol with hands at me, while mouthing, “I love you, I love you!” AH! He just noticed me so much that night, it was incredible. Then, I got to meet Naturally 7 for the second time after the show, and finally got a picture with them too! It was just such an amazing night, I’ll never forget it! :) ♥
