"...no dead end in sight..."

friday five

1. Which one is more irritating- being too hot or being too cold?
Too hot, definitely. If you're cold you can just put on a coat or a blankie.

2. Were you born in the winter or the summer?
Winter~

3. What are your favourite foods to eat when you need to warm up and cool down?
Warm up - hot chocolate. Cool down - ice cream :D~

4. Which one are you more likely to suffer from- hay fever or flu- and does it run in your family?
Hay Fever? Allergies? None of the rest of my immediate family has allergies but I'm allergic to pine trees and some cats. 

5. You are granted a day of perfect weather whenever you like. What day do you place it on and why?
If it's in DFW - some day in the fall, like now, when the trees are starting to change. 72, dry and sunny would be most delicious.

1. What is your happiest memory?

That's something I don't want to talk about. Mostly because I treasure it and it's such a golden little nugget and it makes me happeh ^_^ I like to keep it in my pocket and bring it out every once in a while, when I'm feeling particularly blue. And also because it is just my happiest memory so far, or the happiest memory that I can summon forth the quickest. I probably have happier ones but they're buried down deep, I spose. This one is light and fits nicely in the hand.

2. What is the most important life lesson you've learned?

Always, always know who you are. And what matters to you. And how to stand up for yourself.

3. What is the most difficult decision you've had to make?
That's something I don't want to talk about but for a completely different reason. Mostly because it's something I'm trying to work past because I'm trying to focus on relationships with my family and when I think about it sometimes I'm still conflicted or guilty-feeling. 


4. What is the best thing about your life?
Love! And art. Because art is love and love is a beautiful thing. Oh, and music. Music is lovely too.

5. What is the biggest challenging you're facing right now?
Patience.

1. What did you dream of being when you were a little child?
I wanted to be a pilot, a la Baloo in Tale Spin.
 
2. What did you think you might become when you were between the ages of 12-13?
I wanted to be a writer. And win an Emmy.
 
3. What career choices did you consider as a young adult?
Art Director, Copywriter, English teacher, lawyer. Ouch. That's a lot of fail.
 
4. Did you follow along one of the career paths you considered?
Heck no!
 
5. Have you changed careers since then? Was it by choice or necessity?
Necessity - I was graduating and my parents were going to cut me off. So I needed a big kid job.

1. how old were you when you first started your livejournal?
Probably...high school? LMAO OMG I found a page on archive.org from senior year of high school and it cracks. me. up.

2. how has your life changed since then?
LOTS of things! I think I'm less spastic than I was back then, definitely. And a lot less paranoid.

3. if you could go back and change one thing from your past, what would it be?
I would be much, much nicer to people. And try to get out more.

4. what is one thing you would do to make livejournal better?
I don't know if I'd do anything because right now my blog is on typepad XD but if I owned LJ I'd definitely get rid of all the stupid ads.

5. if you joined the spice girls today...what would your spice name be? (ie, baby spice, scary spice, etc
Grumpy Spice? XD nah, I wouldn't join them b/c they're all old now.

1. If there was one thing about your body you could change, what would it be?
My scalp and the dry spots on my feet/left shin. I hate it. My scalp especially - it's what I'm self-conscious about.

2. Would you rather lose 10lbs or 10 points off your IQ?
10 pounds, any day. Preferably 30, but that's probably not going to happen, liek, evar. I have said I wasn't going to think about having no babies until I've lost about 30 pounds, though. I mean geez. It may take a few years :P
 

3. When you look in the mirror, are you happy with what you see?
Most of the time, yes.
 
4. Have you ever dyed your hair?
Garnier Ginger Spice XD yes, since about junior year of college. It's a tad brighter than my actual hair color b/c I'm too chicken to do something more drastic. (I tried a dark, dark red one time and the photos that resulted made me look really goth lol)
 
5. How often do you weigh yourself?
It depends on my mood. Sometimes once a month, sometimes every morning.
