OH HAI LJ. We used to be friends.
Unfortunately, my habit of neglecting my Livejournal has increased significantly the passed year, and I sincerely apologize for that. Here is this pretty picture as an apology:
I still go through my f-list every day though, but everything else has been left stagnant. Thankfully, I end school for good in a few weeks, and can move to bigger and better things, and have a not-so muddled mind to make actual posts. That said though, I hope none of you mind that extra-long-hiatuses that much, but if you prefer your LJ friends to update frequently, I hold no grudges should you choose to unfriend me.
But in the effort of making a post that consists of more than a few sentences, and as a way of re-introducing myself, here is that Facts About Yourself meme thing that seems to be going around Facebook now. (Note: There were too many variations on the number of facts you're supposed to give, from 15 to 16 to 25, so I decided on an average of about 19.)
1. I have the unfortunate tendency of developing zits in socially awkward places on my face - the tip of my nose, above my lip, etc.
2. When I say that I can eat a lot, I mean it in the most truthful way. My stomach seems to be a black-hole of sorts and I can out-eat my dad at most meals. Unfortunately, my metabolic rate remains rather disagreeable.
3. The five food items I could survive entirely on for the rest of my life (barring dying of lack of nutrition) are: Chawanmushi, japanese rice crackers, Christmas log cake, minestrone soup and banana fritters.
4. Apparently I have a tiny bald spot of sorts at the back of my head. While this hardly affects my sense of self-confidence (mostly because I can't see it), I still hate having it pointed out.
5. I don't understand why everyone has such a problem with vegetables. FINE THEN, HAVE YOUR FUN WITH THE OTHER FOOD GROUPS.
6. Yes, I like sci-fi. Yes, I don't understand how some people cannot tell an ewok from a wookie, let alone have never watched Star Wars before. Yes, I will judge you on whether you are a fan of Joss Whedon or not. Yes, I like stuff about robots and space and robots in space. All of this doesn't equate me being able to communicate in Klingon.
7. I hardly drink, besides wine and champagne. This is because I can go equally nuts with juice or coffee, and juice tastes way better than FIRE DOWN YOUR THROAAAAAAAATS.
8.When I was 11, I got really obsessed about Buffy, and spent a few hundred dollars on merchandise. I could also recite the entire list of episodes in chronological order. Unfortunately, this will not be my only geeky and somewhat pathetic obsession in my teenage years.
9. I believe in missed connections, long-distance romances, sleeping in, giving presents all year round, and leprechauns.
10. My parents are called Patrick and Patricia (same meaning). My two brothers are called Sean and Shane (also the same meaning). For a while I tried to come up with a new name for my maid so we could share the same name meaning too, but realised I would have to call her Stephen.
11. When I was little, my parents bought a bunk bed for me and my older brother to share. I was pretty psyched about getting top bunk, until I had a terrible nightmare about a T-Rex that poked its head into my bedroom through the door, and ate me first because I was easier to reach. I switched to a single bed from then on.
12. I really like it when boys do the following things: Roll up their shirt sleeves to their elbows, carry messenger bags, bite their lips nervously, and punch me in the face. Guess which one is a lie!
13. My five most common dream topics are - previously-mentioned dinosaurs; apocalyptic sagas involving zombies or a variation of that; swimming with whales and dolphins and generally being awesome; exploring other planets; and crushes at the moment.
14. My ideal date would consist of a night picnic in an unconventional location, with popcorn as the main course and a long talk about favourite things afterwards. Also we would have to talk about Star Wars a bit.
15. This is pretty obvious, but I am a television addict. I love everything about TV and Film, it is my most favourite form of escapism.
16. I had a dog named Mig when I was little. My older brother got to name him after some airplane or whatever, and I was pretty jealous for a while because I totally thought I could out-name him. My dad got me a yellow canary and I named him.... SAM. If that isn't the definition of failure, I don't know what is.
17. I have a dog right now named Professor. My favourite trick that I make him do is me swearing/cussing really loudly and him responding by jumping on my lap in great concern.
18. I listen to music at a very, very low volume. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I lend someone else my iPod and they turn it all the way up, and when I get it up I get an unspeakable blast of noise. THANKS A LOT FOR RETURNING MY FRIENDSHIP AND SHARING WITH A DESIRE TO MAKE ME GO DEAF, PALS.
19. I have only grown my hair past my shoulders once, unfortunately it was at the peak of my awkward phase, which only made me look even more socially-inept. This is me a few weeks ago after yet another hair-cut:
Have a great week you guys! <3
