things about me

Smoke: No
Read the newspaper: Yes, though mostly in online form
Talk to strangers who IM? no
Take walks in the rain: Yes, but usually it's with the dog
Drive: '96 Toyota Camry
Like to drive fast? Yes

HAVE YOU...
Been out of the country: Austria, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Hungry, Italy, Kenya, Netherlands, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, and Tanzania
Been in love: Yes
Done drugs: barely (unless you count my bazillion prescriptions)

Ran away from home: I used to hide behind the couch while my sister threw temper tantrums
Played strip poker: Yes
Gotten beat up: knocked around a bit but never a real beating
Gotten on stage: many times for many things
Slept outdoors: yes
Pulled an all-nighter: a few in high school, many in college, plus sometimes I just can't sleep
Talked on the phone all night: many times, and sometimes I even get paid ;-)
Slept all day: try all week. fucking migraines, plus I can be a very good sleeper even without the migraines
Killed someone: not directly, but I'm sure you could argue something involving butterflies flapping their wings or fueling my car with the blood of soldiers or being a dirty Jew and eating Christian babies
Made out with a stranger: I was 16 and at camp and a mutual friend introduced us before telling him to kiss me. And he lead with his tongue. It was all very strange.
Had sex with a stranger: No
Kissed the same sex: I've kissed female friends and relatives on the cheek, but I'm afraid that's as close as I've gotten to HOT LESBIAN ACTION.
Broken somone's heart: Tony Williams was apparently crushed when he found out I was having an all-girls 6th birthday party. Since then, I doubt it
Been betrayed: more than once
Broken the law: Hasn't everyone? Driving over the speed limit, getting back to the parking meter after it's expired, swallowing condoms full of cocaine to smuggle them into the country...it's all pretty standard
Been on radio/tv: been in a few concerts that were broadcast, called into radio shows, a few random silly things on the news
Been in a mosh-pit: yes
Had a nervous breakdown: a few, plus the panic attacks
Been criticized about your sexual performance: not that I know of
Had a dream that kept coming back: didn't I just post an entire thing about this?

Cheated on a b/f or g/f? No

Judged other people by their clothing: can't help it

DO YOU BELIEVE IN...
Life on other planets: could be. probably depends a lot on your definition of "life"
Miracles: maybe, I wouldn't use that word, but sort of
Astrology: only in the silly supersticious sort of way. Like wearing lucky underpants.
Magic: only in an abstract energy effecting change sort of way...think The Force but without so much telekenesis
God: Yes, but not the old white dude in a cloud
Santa: no
Ghosts: maybe, but not in a Sixth Sense or Casper or Ghostbusters way
Birth: As opposed to what? The stork? This is a dumb question.
Love at first sight?: Yes. Blame my parents and their damn NY bus
Ying and Yang: to some degree, I think so
Witches: not really
Easter bunny: the ones made of marshmallow

MISCELLANEOUS

Shoe brand: yes please.

Favorite music: According to Pandora, "folk roots, acoustic sonority, extensive vamping, major key tonality, and a good dose of acoustic guitar pickin'."

Wear hats: in winter I wear the knit kind, preferably with ear flaps
Favorite place to shop: DSW, Loehmanns, the big Jewel-Osco near my apartment, Paper Boy, any craft store

Favorite article of clothing: my new black boots, my BCBG black stilletos, my orange hoodie, the jeans I stole from Jeni, red cape (not that I wear it around...regularly...), my red princess dress

Do you remember your first love: Yes
Still love him/her?: differently
Do you consider love a mistake: no. a nasty little bitch, perhaps, but not a mistake.
What do you find romantic?: Balmy nights, big band jazz ballads, verandas, empty theaters (the kind with stages, not movies), the area at the end of Navy Pier just outside the ballroom at night, secret passages, quiet secret places in general, a whole list of music
Turn-on: intelligence, self-effacement, right-brained talents, neck kisses, penises (sorry, I think I'm funny)
Turn-off: stupidity, excessive hairyness, bad breath, bad teeth, boobs that aren't my own (they make me think of cows. don't ask.)
Do you base your judgment on looks alone? not even close. I'm not very visual.
Whats the last present someone got YOU? potted tulips that I already managed to kill
Do you like someone?: like them like them? no, oddly enough.
