1. I have brown hair.
2. (Everytime I answer this, I lose one less something) I like to chew and suck on Scotch tape (I think I told
3. Dying without fulfilling a purpose.
4. The safe route. I will go way out of my way as long as I'm sure I know where I'm going. I am a slave to routine, because, well, really, I hate driving, and I don't want to end up on some crazy road that involves merging and makes me switch lanes and all the people behind me just honk like crazy because they think I'm stupid, and I get about ready to just slam on my brakes and kill them all.
5. Love?
6. A tie between my story and then my sleepy-time stuffed animals and blankie: Piggy, Bunny Long Legs I and II, Pink Floyd, and Yukata Bunny-- they're always what I go to save when I run through the house like crazy during tornado sirens.
7. Eat tons of food. I have like this reflex, brought upon my mother's refusal to buy junk foods when I was a child: If it's there, I have to eat it-- and not just eat it, GORGE myself, because there will be none when I return home. It's the only place I get it. I'm getting better at it (probably because Mom buys more junk, now, lol . . . ), but still . . .
8. I think I'd really like bondage (and, now, I ask you: Did you really want to KNOW that? lol).
9. I haven't had it.
10. An agreement with a statement someone said which I may not particularly agree with. Like, if you think someone's hot, "I'll go: Sure, yeah, he's hot," even if I really don't see it that much (though, usually, once it's mentioned, I can-- as I've said before, determining "hotness" is not a natural skill for me)-- or "Yeah, I think that's cute," even if I wasn't paying enough attention to notice it myself. I very, very seldom will agree if I completely disagree, though-- it's more like when I'm neutral or haven't noticed.
11. Summer Shakescenes. Thankfully, that's coming soon. Also-- visit (or study in, or LIVE in) Japan.
12. Not really, but to some extent. I don't eat myself up wishing I could have something or someone someone else has, but I do get vaguely covetous, and sometimes a little bitter. I'm not that bad about it, though.
13. Anyone who starts crying pretty much gets control over me.
14. Oh, gosh, I can't even say . . . people do nice things quite a lot. It bolsters my opinion that we're all not just self-serving hedonists.
15. Throw Neil in the lake with his clothes on. You would, too.
16. A few nights ago.
17. Probably last Tuesday night, when the food was so good and it was just so nice to sit and talk to Nichole and Kristina . . .
18. Not in America, at least not in our society, presently. In Japan, sure-- though I do feel huge next to everybody (it's ridiculous-- in Japan, I'm like a D-cup . . )-- and only in circumstances where it's called for (ie: bathing). I might be okay on like some topless beach in Europe, too, if everyone else (and preferrably a few people I felt weren't prettier than me-- lol, self-esteem issues) was doing it.
19. I've never been drunk.
20. Yes, Julia, answer it.

I keep seeing dead rabbits everywhere. This is freaking me out. I love rabbits; why do they have to die . . . and be seen by me? This is particularly weird after that dream about the lover who came to my half-self as a rabbit to make love to her . . . I don't know. Things are just weird.

Tiffany apparently has the ghost of a student who committed suicide when her lover was killed in WWII living on her dorm floor. She takes things from people (but usually returns them) and makes noise in the walls. People have actually seen her, too, from the waist up.

I don't really know how I feel about ghosts. Late at night, the idea scares me, but during the day, the whole thing just intrigues me. What would tie someone so to a place? Is it sad that they can't move on? I mean, spending an eternity in a college dorm has got to suck-- particularly when her lover probably went on to Heaven or something. The very few "supernatural"-y encounters I've had were pretty darn mild, but I always felt more profound that straight-up scared.

I was watching TV with Tory a few nights ago, and I saw this ad for this show called "The Neighborhood." Basically, there's five families, all of about four or five, that want a house in a neighborhood, but the neighbors get to pick who gets it. The house was one of those Pheasant Ridge types-- big, but not like outrageous. The families, or so it seemed to depict, were upper-middle-class, white, Republican types. The families vying for the house ranged from like a really spirited African-American family to an Asian family to a couple with mohawks and tatoos and their kids to a gay couple with young children. It showed shots of the neighbors being like, "I am under no circumstances allowing a homosexual couple to live next door to me and my children!" and then some shot of one of their kids being like, "But dad, I LIKE so-and-so!" and the punk-rocker couple sitting and discussing with one of the neighbors that they were "1000% Republican." It was the sort of thing that could either be really, really bad or really, really good. I'm kind of intrigued.
