+ Have You EVER? +
01. Dyed your hair a really outrageous colour? Nope.
02. Worn more than 2 layers of clothing when it was really hot? WTF? No, of course not.
03. Taken more painkillers in one day than you were supposed to? Supposed to? According to the packaging, yes. According to the doctor, no.
04. Killed an animal accidentally? Yes.
05. Been to a gig? Yep
06. Taken more than 20 pictures of yourself in one day? Gork. No.
07. Told yourself you were pretty? On occasion. Usually it's more along the lines of "good enough."
08. Kissed a random stranger? No.
09. Been fired from a job? Yep. For telling the truth.
010. Been yelled at by an authority figure in front of a shitload of others? Welcome to my first full-time job.
011. Worn turquoise? Both the color and the stone...yes. I love turquoise jewelry.
012. Thought you were a monster? Yes.
013. Cut yourself deliberately? I found a razor blade once when I was quite young. I decided to see what the big deal was about and sliced open my left thumb (not deep). It didn't hurt a bit...at first, but I bled and bled and bled. This terrified me because of my sister's illness, which caused her blood to refuse to clot, similar to hemophilia. Of course, the bleeding slowed eventually, and that's when the pain started. That's the last time I did this on purpose, but unfortunately I've cut my fingers all too often since then. That's one reason we only buy pre-cut bagels now! :-)
014. Cut yourself for attention? No. I forgot to mention that I never told my parents about the razor blade incident because I knew I'd get in trouble. For being stupid, if for no other reason.
015. Worn gold jewellery? All my rings are gold (though one is white gold), and I have a gold necklace. I prefer silver.
016. Received flowers from a guy? Yes. My high school boyfriend brought me a dozen roses on our second or third date. My mom was somewhat horrified and the vase issue was problematic. Beast has done flowers on occasion, of course, as well.
017. Received chocolates from a guy? Yes, but I have asked Beast not to do this anymore. I just don't like it that much.
018. Given a blowjob? And from out of left field...! Yes.
019. Been bitten by a cat? Yes.
020. Thought you were going to die because of really bad period pains? I never had cramps that were this bad. I did once think my college roommate was going to die, however. I'm pretty sure she wished she could.
021. Sang really loud thinking there was nobody home when there was? No. However, I have sung really loud knowing there was someone home. My dad was deaf. ;-)
022. Fallen down stairs? Way too often.
023. Fallen up stairs? Yes. I am a pro at falling in general. Hence the noisy knees.
024. Seen a ghost? Nope.
025. HEARD a ghost? I heard my dad's voice say my name quite loudly in our kitchen (which he'd never seen) about two years after his death.
026. Met a celebrity? Yes.
027. Met your favourite band? Nope.
028. Dislocated something? No, I only misplace things, not dislocate them.
029. Been hit by a car? Not as a pedestrian.
030. Known someone who was murdered? Not exactly. I've known a few people who've killed themselves.
