Ancient Chinese Chain-Letters and Improv Shout-Outs (You're All So Needy) and A Survey

I just wrote an entire essay on ancient Chinese chain-letters. No joke. Seriously, in ancient China, they had these things called "Morality Books," where you had to distribute them, or bad things would happen to you-- or so they'd say. It was exactly like "MAIL THIS TO AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES OR YOU WILL HAVE BAD LUCK FOREVER!!!" It's insane. Clearly, there's nothing new under the sun, lol . . .

*Shout-outs to Improv people*: Rick, Laura, Stewart, Danny, Josh, Zach, Ben, Peter . . . er . . . anyone else? The older group (aside from Peter, but he's the sketchy one :-P) doesn't read this, do they? I still don't know the extent that this is being read . . . *shifty-eyes.*

Now you all have to freaking COMMENT. Sheesh.

I have a story-writing journal for NaNoWriMo. Go check it out: _setting_sun_ (okay, so there's nothing ON it, yet, but you can friend it so that you can read it later! Lol . . . ).

TEN FIRSTS
First Best Friend: Kyle Russell.
First Screen Name: MurasakiNeko42. I still have it, lol . . . (unless, I guess, if you count "Amvine," which was the WHOLE FAMILY'S, until I turned 16, when I begged to have my own, lol . . . ).
First Piercing: N/A-- never had a piercing, never really want to have one.
First Crush: I always figured I would marry Brandon Kaser when I was little, about three, because he was the only guy I knew. Then, I moved on to Kyle, because that would make sense, since we were both best friends.
First CD: ATC, the one with "Around The World (La La La La La)" on it. Yeah, that was my favorite song in 8th grade ^_^ I had some tapes before then, but nothing much of interest. Yeah, I'm THAT OLD . . . I had TAPES . . . lol . . .
First Car: The red Jeep Cherokee of '90 that was Mom's car, and then Dad's, and then mine, and they still have it, because they need the trailer-hookup on the back of it for towing the boats, lol . . .
First Love: I told you, I wanted to marry Brandon and Kyle, lol . . . oh, and Tripp, one of my mom's friends, who was a full-grown man with a wife. I loved that guy. I used to be an absolute bitch to his wife. Yeah, I was a four-year-old homewrecker :-P
First Time: (Doing WHAT, pray tell? Okay, yeah, I know . . . lol . . . ) Yeah, that definitely hasn't happened yet . . .

LASTS
Last Alchoholic Beverage: Some wine at dinner over the summer when my grandparents were over. I'm dead serious. I'm at college, and I haven't drunk yet. Not that care, really, mind you, lol . . .
Last Car ride: With Tiffany, being dropped off back at the dorm. Wow, I don't ride in a car very often anymore, lol . . .
Last Movie Seen: (JULIA, YOU WATCHED THE QUIET MAN??? O.o THAT'S OUR FAMILY'S OFFICIAL ST. PATRICK'S DAY MOVIE . . . THE WIZARD OF OZ IS OUR HALLOWEEN ONE) A Little Princess with Lisa and Tiffany last Saturday.
Last Phone Call: Kristina called me on my cell phone ^_^ yea for Xie!
Last Cd Played: Erm . . . probably Les Miserables soundtrack? I don't listen to CDs very much anymore . . . I listen to my playlist! Woot!
Last Bubble bath: Oh good gracious . . . I don't even remember . . . I can't even take baths at college, I never did at home, unless I was sick, and I never, ever did with bubbles . . .
Last time you Cried: In Japanese class on Tuesday. Yeah . . . not fun . . .

HAVE YOU EVERS
Have you ever dated one of your best friends: That would require dating.
Have you ever been arrested? Nope, but I got the shifty-eye from a cop when Josh carried out a red plastic cup of beer from the Improv post-initiation party and tried to blame it on me . . . ass . . . lol . . .
Have you ever skinny dipped: No, only as a baby, and that doesn't count. Perhaps I finally will, sometime :-P
Have you ever been on tv: Yes, multiple times. My personal favorite was on that candid camera show in Japan, where I ate purin with soy sauce and like it :-P Japanese teacher doesn't know what she's missing . . . and how does she know how MY taste buds work???
Have you ever kissed someone, and then regreted it? That, once again, would require kissing.
Have you ever had a sex dream about someone? Yeah. Last night, in fact. It was quite funny, actually; they were like, "I'd like to have sex with you," and I was like, "Okay," and it was so damn rational it makes me laugh, lol . . .
Have u ever had sex? No . . . only in dreams, lol . . .
Have u ever cheated? That would require 1) having someone to cheat on and 2) someone to cheat on them with.

2. Green zipper-pants.
3. Light-purple underwear.
4. White bra.
5. Fluffy kitty socks I got in the mail from Mom and the two girls in the Japanese Heisei Club thought were cute.
6. Watch.
7. ID card/lanyard thingy . . .
. . . and that's exactly ALL I'm wearing, lol . . .

SIX THINGS YOU'VE DONE TODAY (in the opposite order of when I did them, lol . . . )
1. Wrote a paper on ancient Chinese chain letters.
2. Was the ugly daughter of Snow White who dated dwarves (in Improv practice, lol . . . ).
3. Ate dinner (pesto with cheese) with Lisa.
4. Made myself a story-writing journal (_setting_sun_) for NaNoWriMo.
5. Sold people umbrellas in Japanese (in Japanese, lol . . . ).
6. Listened to a guy talk about Jews and Germans and analyzing some guy's paper in Crossing Borders, lol . . .


FIVE FAVORITE THINGS IN NO ORDER
1. Loved ones.
2. God/religion/philosophy.
3. Writing.
4. Food.
5. Harry Potter :-P

FOUR PEOPLE YOU CAN TELL ALMOST ANYTHING TO:
1. Kristina.
2. Tiffany (though that doesn't necessarily mean she won't ARGUE with you, lol . . . ).
3. Lisa.
4. Tory (not that she always cares, lol . . . but she'll sit outside the shower and squeak in response, which helps, often, lol . . . ).

THREE CHOICES
1.Black or White: Black.
2. Hot or Cold: Warm.
3.Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate.

TWO THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE
1. Publish a book.
2. Find true love.

SOMETHING YOU REGRET
