  HAVE YOU EVER:

6. Dated Someone Twice – Yes.  I dated someone on and off for 7 years. 

7. Been Cheated On – Yes. 

8. Kissed Someone & Regretted It – I don’t think so?  I’ve not kissed someone and regretted it, though.

9. Lost Someone Special – Yes. 

10. Been Depressed –  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.  Yes.  Going through a bit of a depressive cycle now. 

11. Been Drunk & Threw Up –  SO MANY TIMES.  Waking up and finding my bed, my carpet, and myself covered in my own vomit is what led me to quit drinking at the age of 17. 

  LIST THREE FAVORITE COLORS:

Sage green, grey, pink. 

  IN THE LAST YEAR, HAVE YOU:

15. Made A New Friend – Yes.  I’ve also become better friends with people I already knew on a casual basis. 

16. Fallen Out of Love –  Working on it. 

17. Laughed Until You Cried – Often.  Most recently this happened at a work meeting when the female members of the management team at work were trying to explain to our (male) boss what a queef is.

18. Met Someone Who Changed You – Yes

19. Found Out Who Your True Friends Are – Not this year.  I think I already know who my true friends are, and they are amazing.

20. Found Out Someone Was Talking About You – Yes

21. Kissed Anyone On Your FB Friend’s List – Not this year, no. 

  GENERAL:

22. How Many People On Your FB Friends List Do You Know In Real Life –  The majority of them.  Although some I apparently knew in high school and have no idea who they are/were.  (See Question #11 re: excessive drinking.)  They seem like nice people, though. 

24. Do You Have Any Pets –  3 cats: Fiona, Finnegan, and Loki.

25. Do You Want To Change Your Name – No.  I’m good with both names I go by.

26. What Did You Do For Your Last Birthday – Spent it heavily medicated, due to being 5 days post-op from back surgery. I remember there was ice cream, though. 

27. What Time Did You Wake Up Today – It was my day off, so I stayed in bed until about 10:00.  And it was glorious.  Alas, I was awake until 5:00 am. 

28. What Were You Doing At Midnight Last Night – I had only been home from work for about an hour, so I think I was probably watching tv and checking emails. 

29. Name Something You CANNOT Wait For – Vacation, which begins in about 48 hours. 

30. Last Time You Saw Your Mother – Saturday night. 

31. What Is One Thing You Wish You Could Change About Your Life –  I would wish away my chronic insomnia.  If I could just figure out how to fix that, I believe the rest of me would better. 

32. What Are You Listening To Right Now –  Kind of listening to the Halloween marathon on AMC. 

33. Have You Ever Talked To A Person Named Tom? –  Yes.  I’ve worked with several Toms. 

34. What’s Getting On Your Nerves Right Now – The fact that I drank too much tea and have to pee and have another 26 minutes of my back brace/bone growth stim to go. 

35. Most Visited Webpage(s) – gmail, tumblr, facebook (in that order)

36. Blood Type – I have no idea.  Which is weird, considering how much blood I’ve had drawn this year. 

37. Nickname –  Gracie.  And a couple of my aunties call me TearBear.

38. Relationship Status – Physically single, mentally less so.

39. Zodiac Sign – Aries.

40. Pronouns –  That I go by?  That I use?  That I know?  I’m confused by this question. 

41. Elementary – My dear, Watson?  Oh wait, I see the next question, so I'll assume it's elementary school.  Pueblo and Cochise. 

42. High School –  Chaparral

43. College – University of Arizona (briefly), Arizona State

44. Hair colour –  Hard to say for sure.  Possibly blonde. 

45. Long or Short – Long-ish?  About 5 or 6 inches past my shoulders.

46. Height – 5’5

47. Do You Have A Crush On Someone? –  I don’t.  And that’s sad. 

48. What Do You Like About Yourself? –  My ability to see things from multiple points of view.  Although that can be really bad for making decisions, so let’s go with the fact that I have a big heart and can find something amazing in pretty much everyone I meet.

50. Tattoos – Four.  I think I want one more. 

51. Righty or Lefty – Lefty.  Well.  I write with my left hand, everything else I switch back and forth. 

52. First Surgery – Cryo surgery on one of my eyes when I was 18 to repair holes in my retina.  First (and only) major surgery was the back surgery this past April. 

53. First Piercing – Ears.

54. First Best Friend – Shannon C, in preschool.  We made up our own secret language, some of which I still remember. 

55. First Sport You Joined – Soccer. 

56. First Vacation – I was born a couple miles from Disneyland, so I was there as a baby.  First vacation I remember clearly was to Evergreen, Colorado (which is about an hour from where I live now).

58. First Pair of Trainers – First ones I remember vividly was a pair of white ones with a baby blue Nike stripe on them in first grade.

  RIGHT NOW:

59. Eating – Nicotine?

60. Drinking – Peppermint tea (still).  Why am I still drinking anything?  I still have 15 minutes before I can go to the bathroom, and yet I keep picking up the mug.  This says a lot about my life choices.  And possible masochistic tendencies. 

61. I’m About To – Fold some laundry and then think about going to bed. 

62. Listening To –  The theme music from Halloween. 

63. Waiting For – My body to catch up to my brain so I can go to sleeeeeeeeeep.

64. Want Kids? – Not for the sake of having kids.  I would love to want to make a family with someone else, but I never really wanted to have a child on my own - I'm happy with pets. 

65. Get Married? – I go back and forth on this one.  Some days I think I would love to be married.  Other days I think I’m way too independent to be able to adjust my life to fit someone else’s.  I don’t like thinking that way, though, so I’d rather say that I’m open to it if the right person comes along. 

66. Career? – I’m in a place where I actually like my job a lot right now, which is kind of crazy considering that retail hell is about to begin.  But I think being on medical leave for 4 months sort of rejuvenated my love for being in a book store all day.  Sadly, I think my days there are coming to an end; physically it’s getting more and more difficult to do my job, so after the holidays it’s going to be time to start seriously looking.  Or thinking about going for my Master’s degree in Social Work/Animal Assisted Therapy. 

  WHICH IS BETTER:

67. Lips or Eyes – A really genuine smile will kill me every time.

68. Hugs or Kisses – Hugs.

69. Shorter or Taller – I’m not very tall, so I’m good with either. 

70. Older or Younger – I’ve dated both. 

71. Romantic or Spontaneous –  I’m a planner, gotta go with romantic. 

72. Nice Stomach or Nice Arms – Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrms.  Major arm kink. 

73. Sensitive or Loud - Sensitive

74. Hook-up or Relationship – Um. 

75. Trouble Maker or Hesitant –  I should have grown out of the whole troublemaker phase by now, but.

  HAVE YOU EVER:

76. Kissed A Stranger – Yes. 

77. Drank Hard Liquor – Yes

78. Lost Glasses/Contacts –  I’ve worn both since I was 10, and I don’t think I’ve ever lost either. 

79. Sex On First Date –  Um.  Once.  But it wasn’t technically a date, so I’m not sure it counts. 

80. Broke Someone’s Heart – Possibly once. But I honestly think I only dented it a bit, because his recovery was spectacular.

81. Had Your Own Heart Broken – Seriously broken?  Twice.  Neither of whom was the person in the above question. 

82. Been Arrested –  I came close a couple times, but no.

83. Turned Someone Down –  Yes. 

84. Cried When Someone Died – Yes

85. Fallen For A Friend – Yes, see question #81. 

  DO YOU BELIEVE IN:

86. Yourself – Depends on the day. 

87. Miracles – I’m kind of counting on one right now. 

88. Love At First Sight- Love?  No.  But I believe in having an instant connection with someone, which can lead to love.

89. Heaven – Not in the traditional sense, no. 

90. Santa Claus – Yes.

91. Kiss On the First Date -  If it feels right, sure.
