[memes] random stuff about me + icons

Currently chatting with my brother on gchat. Kinda weird. Trying to adjust to the fact that he's growing up and getting all tech-savvy and maybe starting to go through puberty. (Still a Narutard though, lol. And a Bleach fan now, too, apparently. And Death Note.)

Meme, stolen from [livejournal.com profile] vowel ages ago. Seriously, like, possibly a year ago. I was going through my archives, okay? And realized I'd never done this meme...and I needed a study break. So here we go!


1. Who is the last person you held hands with?
Boy :3

2. If you were drafted into a war, would you survive?
I assume if I were drafted, I'd still have to go through basic training. Depending on the war, I might survive. Physically, I'm really not the strongest/biggest/fastest/fittest but...in a modern war, I might survive. Then again, I might not. Who knows?

4. Have you ever drank milk straight out of the carton?
I don't drink milk anymore, because I drank it every day up until college. :( And we had gallons anyway. But, no, I haven't.

5. Have you ever won a spelling bee?
I can't remember if I've even participated in a spelling bee (I vaguely recall being in a geography bee in fifth grade) but I don't think I did, or won.

7. How fast can you type?
Roughly 108-112 words per minute. Faster if I'm copying something, slower when I'm ficcing or composing posts/emails/whatever and trying to think as I post.

8. Are you afraid of the dark?
Not really.

9. Eye color?
Dark brown.

11. When is the last time you chose a bath over a shower?
Probably not since I was a kid. Maybe in middle school. Oh, god, ew, baths - sitting in your own filth! I don't enjoy them; I'd much rather have a hot shower.

12. Do you knock on wood?
Absolutely. It's weirdly the only thing I'm superstitious about.

13. Are you drinking anything right now?
Water. I also have cold coffee (because I'm really bad at drinking things quickly) that I might throw out.

15. Can you hoola hoop?
Yup. Once won a contest for hoola-hooping the longest, haha. Go me. I'm so cool.

16. Are you good at keeping secrets?
Generally, yes.

17. What do you want for Christmas?
A job for my 2L summer. Books? I don't know. I don't think that far ahead, really.

18. Do you know the Muffin Man?
Er...no. But he lives on Mulberry Lane!

19. Do you talk in your sleep?
Pretty sure no.

20. Who wrote the book of love?
There's no such thing because love is constantly redefined, every day.

21. Have you ever flown a kite?
Yes! I love flying kites! I should do this more often! :D

23. Do you consider yourself successful?
...arguably. Graduated college early, in a top 20 law school, good relationship with my parents, smart brother, good friends, lovely Boy, going to Beijing for the summer. I think I at least have a lot to be grateful for. :)

24. How many people are on your contact list of your cell?
138, but I should probably delete some people I'll never talk to again (after getting their number once for class or something).

25. Have you ever asked for a pony?
Nope. Large and smelly. What's the fun in that?

26. Plans for tomorrow?
Study a lot. T_T Eat. Maybe read some manga!

28. Missing someone now?
[livejournal.com profile] thyme_hawthorne, [livejournal.com profile] efio_47, [livejournal.com profile] peachgirldb, my parents. :( Also the flist at large, because I've been crazy absent from LJ recently.

29. When was the last time you told someone 'I love you'?
Yesterday getting off the phone with my mom. But I say it pretty frequently to friends. Not yet to a guy...

31. How are you feeling today?
Pretty good. :) Super-happy after finding www.tadalist.com and setting up Google Reader.

32. Are you black?
Wow, racist question. And, no.

33. Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school?
Nope, I'm a goody-two-shoes.

34. What are you looking forward to?
China this summer! August!

35. Have you ever crawled through a window?
Yep. I'm pretty sure I've done it more than once but the time I remember is from playing some form of hide-and-go-seek tag at church? Bizarre.

37. Have you ever eaten dog food?
Ew, no.

38. Can you handle the truth?
My biggest fear is failure, so sometimes the truth scares me. Criticism is hit-or-miss with me. :/

39. Do you like green eggs and ham?
Sure. I love Dr. Seuss in general though~

40. What 3 things you always bring w/ you to places?
My cell phone, my wallet, my iPod.

41. Any cool scars?
I've got a giant one up my stomach from my surgery when 16. Boy is so entertained by it, but I am sort of :( because it makes looking for swimming suits hard.

42. Do you like or have a crush on anyone? Do they know?
I like Boy a lot, a lot. Not just a crush. And he knows, since we're dating. :)

43. How many kids do you plan on having?
Two. Boy and a girl. (Preferaby first boy, then girl, but y'know...not totally up to me, haha.)

44. What do you do when no one is watching?
Sing aloud to my music. Dance around. Read trashy BL scanlations, haha.

45. Have you ever been in love?
I may be closer now than I've been in the past. :)

46. Do you talk to yourself?
Not really. Occasionally I swear aloud to myself.

47. Is there something you want that you can't have?
The time and money to see everyone I want to see. Time and money to travel everywhere I want to go! A low-stress happy-making job... Also, I think, mangos.

48.Three things about the opposite sex that you first notice?
Height, hair, voice, I guess. The most noticeable things. I don't really stare at their eyes or smile or ass or whatever.

49.Who are you thinking about right now?
[livejournal.com profile] thyme_hawthorne because I have to email her back.

50. Who did you last hug?
Boy.

51. Where is your phone?
On the ground beside me.

52. What was the last thing you ate?
A rice-krispie treat.

54. Favorite Color?
Green.

55. What is the last movie watched?
Either Watchmen (in theaters) or...The Fast & the Furious (on TV last night).

56. What song do you currently hear?
Super Junior - RESET

57. What do you want?
To be happy and successful.

58. Would you ever date anyone on your friends list?
Nope, thanks. :) I'm happy with my Boy.

59. What TV Show are you watching?
TV's off, but the last thing I watched was Scrubs.

60. What is your cell phone number?
Not telling! (Though, now that I think about it, it's in my contact post, haha.)


And, meme number two! Icon meme!
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

01. (by [livejournal.com profile] throughadoor) This quote is a tribute to Gordon Korman's Macdonald Hall series! Omfg do I love this series, and Bruno & Boots and alksdj. WHY ARE YOU ALL NOT READING THESE YA BOOKS?
02. (by [livejournal.com profile] yeonhee) This is my "cheap whore" icon. :3 Also, because 10 dollars in Chinese (十元/shi2yuan2) sound like Siwon's Chinese name (始原/shi3yuan2). SJM jokes make me happy - or, you know, SJM makes me happy!
03. (by [livejournal.com profile] utatsuki) I was looking for pretty, textless, non-SuJu icons and this one really stuck with me for some reason. I like the lighting and the use of shadow. Plus the tennis racket made it appropriate for my occasional tennis fangirling (Rafa!) and was a nice tieback to PoT, should I ever need one.
04. (by [livejournal.com profile] chewedupicons) I adore Perfect Girl Evolution/the Wallflower and this was the perfect girly fangirl icon. :D
05. (by [livejournal.com profile] chewedupicons) Also from PGE, an appropriate confused icon! I love manga icons sometimes~

01. (by [livejournal.com profile] sincerelyloved) Harkens back to SJ Full House, which was one of the best things (and still one of my favorite thigns) about SJ. Kibum, in English, in response to Donghae asking, "Share me music wiz me?"
02. (by [livejournal.com profile] utatsuki) See above!
03. (by [livejournal.com profile] kyuuketsukicons) Because I needed a JaeHo icon, I guess? I like the soft lighting and colors and angles here. A bit like everyday life, but more artistic, like a photoshoot too.
04. (by [livejournal.com profile] suxing) An icon just for me, all pretty and so Chinese and hopeful. :D
05. (by [livejournal.com profile] daisivi) I freaking love Sorry, Sorry, okay? And Kyu was just dead sexy in the MV, in a suit, in black&white, mmm.


Unrelated things:
★ Catching up on manga! Well, planning on catching up on manga. Tsubasa first! Is anyone else caught up on this series? So convoluted...I'm so far behind...
TA-DA LIST *________* ♥♥
★ Does anyone have a hardsubbed copy of EHB ep 3 or ep 13? Pretty please?

THE MUFFIN MAN LIVES ON DRURY LANE >8(

OH NO, WHO LIVES ON MULBERRY LANE? D:

People aren't allowed to move, dammit!

omg I meant to start reading bruno & boots forever ago and then forgot. one of these days... one of these days.....

I haven't read tsubasa in forever lskdfjg I just keep reading xxxHolic and hoping I'm not missing something important.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm I kinda want to catch up on Holic too, but I'm also sort of waiting for it to end, because I keep hearing it's near the end. alsdkjf is it? How far is it now? So hard to keep up with manga...;_;

Bruno & Boots is so so worth it. Such an easy read too, because they're really classified as children's books (not even YA...). So fun!

[identity profile] uminohikari.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hula hooping is fun! I may or may not have attempted to do so today

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
It is! It's also good exercise! Huh...I should get a hula hoop, lol.

I am so equally far behind on TRC and xxxHolic, and I JUST AM SO SCARED OF CATCHING UP DDDD: because it's so convoluted you forget all the little details and then you have to REREAD EVERYTHING and the mindfuckery is too much to go through twice!!! *agonises*

I am told the manga feels as though it's coming to an end, though. Noooooooo~

And omg, WORD to having younger siblings/cousins chat to on MSN/G-Talk. It is the weirdest thin EVER.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
because it's so convoluted you forget all the little details and then you have to REREAD EVERYTHING

T_T EXACTLY THIS. Which is why I'm kind of putting off catching up on it until after finals alskdjfk. I reall really should work hard on studying waahh.
(deleted comment)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh. Well, I'm going to wait 'til after finals to fully dedicate myself to TRC (I may have to reread it to figure out what was going on when I stopped reading all that time ago haha). Convoluted. ;_; CLAMP does that well.

[identity profile] mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm currently caught up on Tsubasa. What was the last thing you remember reading? Just letting you know that it's been nothing but spell blasting the last couple chapters or so but yea. Stuff goes down HARDCORE!! XD

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2009-04-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god, the last thing that happened in TRC that I remember? Fai's past with his twin being revealed, I think. And then...Ashura waking up? Right after the epic chess game or something. THIS IS ALL SO VAGUE. I think the only real way to catch up on TRC is to go back to the beginning and read everything again so I remember. Marathoning! :( That will have to wait 'til after finals.

I did hear about how CLAMP went super convoluted and somehow turned CCS into the official prequel of TRC...oh my head.

[identity profile] mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com 2009-04-20 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes they did... and let me tell you... everything after the Celes arc is pure whatdafuckery... you will seriously be screaming and beating things and going "HOLY SHIT WTF CLAMP?!?!?!?!" A LOT!! I mean a fuck ton lot. XDDDD I won't spoil anything unless you want me to though.

Advice: TRC does a complete 180 at the Acid!Tokyo arc. If you wanna catch up, just start rereading from there.
