It is now 2012 and I greet the new year with a dead laptop and absolutely no booze in hand.

LEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JEENKIIIIIIIIINS.

Let's all pretend I didn't slack off for an entire weekend, kay? Kay.

Day 06 → Something you hope you never have to do.

I hope I never become normal.

Normal, to me, is having that thought/action brain barrier that will whisper, No, don't do that! What will the neighbors think? and you actually listening to it. Normal is never having that wildly inappropriate thought in the first place. Normal is not speaking the truth, because it might offend someone. Normal is just trying to get by, no waves and no red flags, thank you.

And, hey. I'm sure it works for some people. But I hope and pray to all kinds of questionable deities that I will never be one of them.

Day 04 → Something for which you need to forgive someone else.

... Nah.

I have a lot of people who I do not like for how they've treated me, and as far as I'm concerned, they can go to hell. I've forgiven the people I think are worth it and the rest can just deal.

Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.

Hunh. See, this one's hard.

I like myself. I like my personality. I have always been 'that weird kid', because of my upbringing and my natural personality. I very quickly realized that I was not going to fit into society's mold of propriety, so I did not try. And in doing so, I accidentally became the person I'd always secretly hoped to be: the one your parents warned you about.

I'm loud, I'm crass, I have no manners. I don't give a damn about the holes in my jeans or the fact that my hair stands on end. I act like an idiot and I don't care if people think I have an IQ nearing room temperature. I jump in puddles and write graffiti on walls. I drive too fast, drink too much, and play my music too loud. I have piercings, I'm getting a tattoo, and I believe in premarital sex. I don't go to church and I break rules without a second thought, if I don't think there's a point to them. I have a sick, morbid sense of humor and a temper to match. I fight dirty and would probably lose, anyway.

In short, I'm a goddamn train wreck and try not to take myself too seriously.

::IS LATE TO THIS HERE PARTY::

30 Days of Writing Meme! Let's do this!

1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.

Oh, Lordy, that would have to be my baby that I have come to call Sinners and Truck-Stop Coffee. I started it years ago and it is pretty much my most developed universe to date.
As the title suggests, its about sinners, namely people who have sold their souls to the devil. A one-armed woman who sold her soul at a young age is ordered by her demon overlord to secure and protect a young boy who is demonstrating astonishing demonic power at an extremely young age. There are poltergeists, evangelists, zombies, strippers, and things get lit on fire.

Believe it or not, I both created and wrote this story before I even saw a single episode of Supernatural, so imagine my surprise when someone had a similar idea. XD I still love my story and my characters, but the story is mostly written in my head and no place else.

Oh well...

I slung my jaw out of joint eating Mini Wheaties. I can now only open my mouth fully if I press on the joint. idek.

( Memes... )

What is the most physically painful thing you've ever experienced?:
Probably when I fell off the trampoline at 14, tearing the ACL and MCL in my left knee.
I'm not entirely sure, as I've had several other experiences that I don't remember correctly. But that one was the most dramatic.

Do you know any German words?:
Guten Tag, Guten Nacht, Ja, Nighn (sp?), Danke, Bitte... yeah.

Do you have a passport?:
I look like a terrorist in the fricken picture. I was sick when they took it.

What should the drinking age be?:
21, so long as our boys in the armed forces can continue to drink. If you are old enough to go to war and get shot at, you deserve a fricken beer. My contemporaries can shut up and wait.

Do you know anyone who everyone thinks is gay, but is not out?:
Am I a mind reader? No.

Are your teeth straight?:
I endured enough pain, I better have good teeth!

Vegtables: Better raw or cooked?:
Raw. I love raw veggies and will eat them by the ton.

Have you ever smoked?:
(I have ranted on this subject so bloody much, its not even funny.)
Yes, I have smoked. I do not any more as I chose not to spend money on the habit, but while I did, I enjoyed the experience for what it was. An experience that gave me perspective as a member of a group of social pariahs.

What is the best store to buy clothes?:
Consignment stores. You get the name brand for a literal fraction of the price. For real, guys. I wear Abercrombie jeans as we speak, and I paid maybe five dollars for them.

Are you on Facebook?:
Yes, and as a tool for keeping tabs on people you would normally lose track of, its a wonderful tool. But as an instant social networking system, it sucks and I hate it. Too much superficial communication makes me twitch.

Would you ever paint your house an unusual color?:
Hell yes! If you're my future neighbor, prepare to have your property value plummet!

Would you rather eat half a stick of butter or a bowl of ketchup?:
The butter. I despise ketchup.

Would you mind dating someone significantly shorter than you?:
Yes. Don't get offended, though. I wouldn't date anyone taller, either. They must be my exact height before I will even entertain the tinniest inkling of consideration of them as a potential mate.

Can you quote the movie "Mean Girls?":
Yes. One quote, as I have not and will not see the film: "He is almost too gay to function."

How sick and tired of Twilight are you?:
It's rather epic, how much I hate the concept.

What is your favorite movie?:
I have none. I have a list, but no one movie.
They are: Fight Club, The Big Easy, Angel Heart, Serenity, and Watchmen.

Have you seen the Statue of Liberty?:
From a distance.

What about the Effiel Tower?
Several times. I have climbed to the second story. That's right. Climbed.

Can you make yourself cry?:
Having never tried, I can only say maybe.

How much older is your best friend than you?:
-3 months.

Peanut butter or chocolate?:
Both, yo.

Have you ever held a starfish?:
Indeed.

Can you run a mile?:
I can, so long as I'm not too keen on the idea of being able to walk the next day.

What would happen if you suddenly lost 25 lbs?:
I would probably have a severe sugar crash and not be able to move until I gained them back. I'm not made to be skinny.

Can you do CPR?:
In theory. I'm not certified, even if I know the principles.

Do you live in the state you were born in?:
Nope. Far from it.

Would you rather live in Hawaii or Alaska?:
... Alaska.

What color are your eyes?:
Brown.

Don't you just hate biting your tongue?:
What, and you don't?

Could you use a haircut?:
I just had one, so I'm good for now.

Ice cream in a cup or a cone?:
A cone. Eating the cone is probably the best part.

2008, you're fired.
2009, you're hired!
