for erin

since i'm generally the giver of surveys, i felt it only right to take this one from erin's site. :)


~*HAVE YOU?*~
Been kissed? yes.
Eaten an entire box of Oreos? no. actually, i don't think of oreos as coming in boxes anyway ... it's more of a sturdy-bottomed plastic package. regardless, i don't think i've ever eaten my way through an entire package of oreos. unless you count those little 100 calorie packages. i've totally eaten an entire one of those. but then, those aren't real oreo cookies. they're like these oreo-esque crispy cookie things. they don't taste bad, but they're not oreos. southwest gave me a package of those on my flight to san diego. i didn't eat them on the plane, so i stashed them in my laptop bag for future munching. of course, i forgot they were there for several days ... so by the time i hit half moon bay they were completely smashed. oreo dust. seriously. i don't think real oreos would have fared quite so badly, what with all that delicious filling to help hold the cookies together.
Been on stage? yup.
Gotten in a car accident? a few of them, actually. not all when i was driving.
Death Valley on horseback? nope.
Stayed home? yes, and i find this to be a very odd question.
Made homemade fudge? oh yeah.
Seen the Eiffel tower? not in person, no.

~*FAVORITES*~
Shampoo: head & shoulders makes (or at least used to make) a variety that made my scalp all tingly. that was fun. but i think i like the peppermint stuff they give you at holiday inn express' hotels better. it's pretty snazzy stuff for being free. i stayed at a holiday inn express in half moon bay. hmm, twice that's shown up now. interesting.
Soap: good-smelling stuff that makes a healthy lather.
Color: green.
Day: i don't know. how do you have a favorite day? i'm 29 years old. that's a lot of days to sift through and pick one as my favorite.
Night: why does this seem like an easier question that favorite day? i was all ready to call this question ridiculous, but then i realized there is a night that sticks in my mind. i'm not sure if it's really my favorite though. so i'm not going to talk about it.
Band: i'm fairly equal opportunity. recently i've been listened to anberlin & relient k. nelly furtado & kelly clarkson. i've been digging the kimya dawson stuff on the juno soundtrack. hmmm ... those last three aren't really bands, are they?
Season: i have a hard time choosing between spring & fall. i think i like the promise of change they bring with them. both seem to be short seasons, which i find adds to their allure. you have to enjoy every moment of them you can, because pretty soon it's just going to be summer or winter. and, well, those aren't my favorites at all.
Commercial: well, there's this one on the local public tv station that i helped design ... :)

~*YOUR FRIENDS*~
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? not in the way this question is asking.
Do you have a crush on someone: nope.
Do you have a best friend? yup.
Do you rank your speed dial in order of favorite friends? if i used speed dial, i probably would. but the very thought of having to order everyone like that is as good a reason as any to not use speed dial.
Who's your funniest friend? i have a lot of funny friends. i like to laugh, so i surround myself with people who make that happen. i really don't think i could pick a funniest.
Who do you go to the mall with the most? lately it's been with my mom, but i really don't go to the mall very often. i go near the mall to eat dinner sometimes ... in those cases i go most often with kathy, becca & april.
Who do you e-mail the most? my bunco girls, i suppose. we tend to get into e-mail fits that generate dozens & dozens of reply-all responses. personal, one-on-one e-mails? i don't know. i go through phases. joe & i have been e-mailing back & forth lately. greg & i e-mail during work quite a bit. yeah, i don't know.
Who have you known the longest of your friends? erin.
Who's the loudest? kathy.
Who's the shyest? april.
Whose parents do you know the best? i don't know. i'm most likely to talk to marlana & amanda's mom or malissa's mom. but that doesn't really mean i know them.
Who do you go to for advice? depends on the situation.
Who knows all your secrets? me. that's why they're secrets.
Who do you get the most surveys from? bethany.
Who are you jealous of? no one, really.
Who do you cry with? no one, really. (awww ...)
What is your usual quote? "seriously?" or "i know!"

~*IN THE LAST 24 HOURS HAVE YOU*~
Cried? no. but if i answered yes, would anyone ask me why?
Eaten fluf? given the single f at the end of fluf, i'm assuming this is referring to the marshmallow-type product that comes in a jar. and no, i haven't.
Helped someone? i certainly hope so. i honestly think i'd go crazy if i didn't look at some of the difficulties of my job as opportunities to help my co-workers.
Bought something? lunch at wendy's. did you know they have their nutrition information on their website? yeah, so you can totally figure out weight watchers points for their food. this is a fabulous idea when it's 2:30 in the afternoon, your stomach is consuming itself because you haven't eaten lunch yet, and you just had your weight watcher weigh-in 2 hours ago. the spicy chicken sandwich i love so much? 11 points! wendy, what are you doing to me?
Dissected something? nope. not even my own thoughts. not in the past 24 hours at least. i've been pretty focused on being carefree & happy go lucky. not over thinking things. it's been fun.
Cut your hair? no.
Worn a skirt? nope.
Worn a tie? no.
Been mean? if i was able to do with it with a smile & a chuckle does it still count? i certainly wanted to say it with a mean spirit, but i totally curbed it.
Been sarcastic? yeah, probably.
Gone for a run? no, no, no. 'becca doesn't run.
Gone for a walk? no, but i need to get back into the habit of this. actually, i went for a lot of short walks today. back & forth to the printers, mostly. but also to a couple of meetings, to the electric cutter, to my car & back.
Gone to the movies? no.
Gone out for dinner? no.
Been kissed? no.
Felt stupid? not really. feeling stupid is hard when focusing on being carefree & happy go lucky.
Said "I love you"? yes.
Written a letter? i added some tasks to my to-do list at work. it involved writing a lot of letters.
Written a paper? no, but i wrote ON paper ...
Taken a test? not that i was aware of.
Met someone new? i don't think so.
Moved on? i don't think so. do you think there's something i need to move on from? tell me, survey, what are you hinting at?
Written in a journal? not unless my blog counts.
Watched your favorite movie? no.
Talked to someone you have a crush on? no.
Given someone a present? i gave carnations at work today. yeah, remember that day in high school when you could send carnations to your friends/crushes/etc. for just $1 each? we did that at work today. it was more fun than in high school. and everyone wanted a carnation from the marketing rockstars.
Missed someone? yes.
Hugged someone? yes. i even hugged someone at work. that's right, actual touching with a co-worker. it's not often.
Had a nightmare? nope.
Fought with your parents? no.
Fought with a friend? no.
Been Scared? no.

~*WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU*~
Showered? this morning
Ate a meal? goodness, dessert was practically a meal in & of itself. like 3 hours ago, i guess.
What are you wearing right now? flannel nightmare before christmas pants, a green tank top & a black sweat shirt.
Are you tired? yeah, a little. sleep will be good.
Are you lonely? not really.
Are you happy? not really. i maintain that being not happy isn't the same as being unhappy. i'm not upset, angry or sad ... but i'm not currently feeling overwhelmingly happy either. i'm content. that's a good thing.
Are you wearing pajamas? why yes, survey, i am. did you guess that from my clothing description just a few questions back?
Are you hungry? no.
Are you eating? no. that's something i'm working on. when i'm not hungry, i'm not eating.
Are you talking to someone online? nope, it's just me & you, survey.

>>>>FAVORITE STUFF>>>>
Type of sandwich: i do love me a good cuban. mmmmm.
Coffee or hot chocolate? hot cocoa!
Cold or hot? cold. i would almost always rather be cold than hot.
Big or little? how in the world can someone choose one of these descriptions as his favorite?
Lace or satin? satin.
Red or blue? red.
New or old? new.
Here or there? currently, here.
