~ANGER~

1. Who did you last get angry with? Alice, if that's not quite obvious, lol . . . but it's all over now, I think (or at least hope).
2. What is your weapon of choice? Guilt.
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? I usually only hit people in play, and, so yeah . . .
4. How about of the same sex? See above.
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? Well, apparently Alice says she wasn't angry . . . though I can't help thinking I must have provoked her a little bit . . . or, at the very least, frustrated her . . . but maybe Mom, or Neil, or something . . .
6. What is your pet peeve? Close-mindedness. Also, doors and drawers and things that are not shut, at least not shut all the same, the same way . . .
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? Obviously, I hold grudges-- either that, or just the memory of the hurt. I may not actually go looking for revenge, but when old wounds are prodded back reopen, I cannot help but bring up the past, because that has everything to do with everything that I'm feeling now.

~SLOTH~

1. What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't done in a long time? Clean all the hair and junk out of the sink.
2. What is the latest you've ever woken up? 10:30 am, unless you count days in which I was jetlagged . . . those don't count, really, honestly . . .
3. Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't? Michael.
4. What is the last lame excuse you made? He's too busy too email me back, probably, or probably doesn't even want to talk to me anyway.
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through? Yes. Wow, that lady's voice on that Alumoloy ad was so consoling . . . lol . . .
6. When was the last time you got a good workout? Well, I walked a lot on Memorial Day. That was good for me, lol . . . and that was as far as I've gotten in a long time . . .
7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today? None, but I slept in for 15 more minutes, as usual . . .

~GLUTTONY~

1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? I don't drink anything except milk, practically . . .
2. Meat eater? I like red meat. I really do. Beef is very, very good. I also like pork. I could not be a Muslim or a Hindu, apparently . . .
3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event? Um . . . a half a glass of champagne on New Years . . . lol ^_^
4. Have you ever used a professional diet company? No. I have never actually really truly tried to DIET, really . . .
5. Do you have an issue with your weight? No, not particularly. I have a fat roll, but that's not going away, because of my operation . . .
6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods? Salty foods rock my socks. I also like sweet foods at times, but mostly salty.
7. Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, "LUNCH"? No. Ew . . .

~LUST~

1. How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)? About 14, all in the Japanese bath in Japan, 9 of which were in my group . . . oh, and if you want to count kids I babysit for, I've had to bathe some of them, so like 5 on top of that. Nearing 20, but it's like little kids, girls, and a lot of people whom I don't know.
2. How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)? About 14 . . . the Japanese crowd again, lol . . .
3. Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation? Yeah. Particularly if it's Phil, but not really because I mean to-- it's just that his idea of a "normal" conversation is, "Oh my gosh! It hate it when this happens!" and then he makes a face and starts shifting around in his chair, and, well, it's obvious what he's talking about. I don't stare, but, well, I do look. Lol, I'm straight, and I still occasionally look at a girl's chest, if it happens to be at the level I'm comfortable looking or it's really being flaunted.
4. Have you "done it"? No.
5. What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice? Eyes, smile.
6. Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute? Nope.
7. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy? No. I hope I never have to get an STD test. Those sound really kind of scary, actually . . .
~GREED~

1. How many credit cards do you own? One that I don't even have in my purse . . . I got it for Japan, but I'm not *allowed* to use it . . .
2. What's your guilty pleasure store? I don't shop enough to have any favorites . . .
3. If you had $1 million, what would you do with it? Use it to help pay for college, or at least have it to draw from while I'm in there, lol . . .
4. Would you rather be rich, or famous? Famous. I want to be a writer. That about pretty much sums it up, unless I'd rather be neither, lol . . . or, I guess, I could be like J.K. Rowling . . . but that's wishful thinking . . .
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks? Perhaps for a time. I'm good at occupying myself in my mind as I do menial tasks (but this better be MEGABUCKS . . . I mean, like, more than I would make as the career of my choice, or whatever, lol . . . ). However, I would never do something against my principles, like kill people, as an assassin or a soldier or whatever . . .
6. Have you ever stolen anything? Yeah, I'm sure I've picked up like pens or things from other people on accident. I'm sure we all have, and I'm quite sure, half the time, none of us even notice when stuff is stolen from us, like that, lol . . .
7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive? None. My music files are all wav . . . lol . . .

~PRIDE~

1. What one thing have you done that you're most proud of? Come up with my book, and writing a good part of it, lol . . .
2. What one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of? Gotten a bunch of scholarships (I know, that's not ONE thing, but they liked that I've done that . . . ).
3. What thing would you like to accomplish in your life? Publish a book, preferably a good one . . .
4. Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? No. I'm glad I place. If I stressed over being #1, I would die . . . it's stressful enough as it is trying to do my best . . .
5. Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors? Yeah.
6. What did you do today that you're proud of? Um . . . I'll do yesterday: I got an award at the Drama Banquet (which, erm, didn't involve doing much THEN, but it did over the course of the year, lol . . . ).

~ENVY~

1. What item of your friends would you most want to have for you? Lol, I like Julia's answer: "A boyfriend." Maybe not one of theirs in particular, but, hey, lol . . .
2. Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? Tory. She and I already discussed what we would do to each other's houses, and agreed on what we liked, just in case, lol . . .
3. If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be? Well, no one, really. There are a few people out there prettier than me, or smarter than me, or richer than me, or luckier than me, but I'm rather satisfied with the combination I've been placed with.
4. Have you ever been cheated on? That would require the having of someone whom does the cheating upon you.
5. Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own? Yeah. I wanted long, blond hair-- the exact opposite of what I have-- that went all the way down to my butt when I was kindergarten. In third grade, I wanted curly hair. Now, I want DECENT hair, lol . . . I've also wished to be skinner, wished to have brown eyes, wished to be shorter, wished to have a smaller butt or a larger bust, and even wished that my lips were more differently shaped. Yet none of that's the sort of thing I would ever get surgery to do, so it's not like any of it's going to be changed, lol . . .
6. What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? I wish I were more comfortable with meeting new people and making small talk, so that I don't scare them off before they get to know me and realize, that, while my conversation may be weird, my intentions are usually very nice . . .
7. Do you wish you'd come up with this survey? It's cute, but it's not like I covet the glory that goes along with it, or something, lol . . .

I thought we were having an awful lot less tornadoes than usual. It hasn't stormed a good, cathartic storm yet this year. I know that's dumb to WISH for that sort of thing, but, well, I feel so unsatisfied!

Last night was nice, really, the Drama Awards Banquet. For some reason, thanks to Dan O, it was Christmas-themed, which was just kind of random, but oh well . . . lol . . .

I got an award, a nice plaque, for "outstanding performances in 'The Curious Savage' and 'Hello, Dolly!'" Andrew and Dan O got them, too. There also were silly senior awards, and I got the "Tas-her Award"-- Andrew presented it, and he was like, "This goes to a girl who plays an excellent psychopath on stage, even though she's nothing like that in real life. Okay-- actually, she is like that in real life. So, it's the Tas-Her-- get it? Taser? Tas her?-- Award . . . she's crazy, but I love her to death: Amy Troeger!" So then I came up and took the little paper, and was going to shake his hand like everyone else had done, but instead he took it and kissed it, and Erik and the two Dans just let out this huge, raucous, "AWW!!!" that they made go on for like a minute and a half. It was pretty darn funny, lol . . .

During the Thespian awards I felt awkward but then it was remedied . . . I was eligible for Thespians last years and everything, but I just never bothered to join. At one point during the ceremony, Mrs. Glenn called up "seniors" on stage, but she meant "senior Thespians," and so, after starting to get up, I started backing awkwardly back to my seat, but then everyone was like, "You can come up, too, Amy!" and Mary Wirick was like, "You're important! You have to be up there, too!" I just felt embarrassed and dumb and so I kept going, just kind of backing off, but then somebody started chanting, "Amy! Amy! Amy!" and so I couldn't just not go up there. It wasn't anything big. I just stood there. Still-- remnants of my Fairy May character coming out-- it's nice to feel loved.

I really wish we would have gotten yearbooks just one day earlier. There were a lot of drama people I wanted to sign mine, but I'm just never going to see them after last night, except by some stroke of Fate. I'm also not going to be able to get anyone in 3rd hour English to sign mine, either. I was HOPING that Honors Diploma/Presidential Award meeting 5th hour would have given us some time to confer and sign yearbooks with one another, but, apparently not (I did get William, though . . . so, one down . . . ). I was also hoping they would give us food, but apparently not. I was really hungry, too!!!

Yes! Yes, indeed I do . . . sorry about it being on email . . . but, well, YOU try and NOT know when Tiffany's sitting on the other side of the phone squealing her head off and nothing else, lol . . .

It's so cute! *Sighs romantically.*

I think that's odd, what he said though, about "cheering up a friend" . . . that's kind of awkward. Confusing? I dunno. Guys confuse me.

[gemma-thompson.livejournal.com]
