Maybe I am "Highly Sensitive"

Makes perfect sense to me.
Happy people are back, happy school is starting, happy my life will once again appear to have meaning. But also scared for all of these reasons at the same time.

Another Important Announcement

Jake is now Julie.

Just so you know.

Some friends

I just really REALLY love.

Some are consistently disappointing but I like them anyway.

But the ones that I love, I love madly. You know who you are. I just thought you needed a reminder.

The rain, the gloom, the Portland winter

So I'm back. Just settling in, and getting used to my apartment again. It's sort of strange without Malka here, but I guess I've spent a lot of time alone here anyway.

I've got to make a list so that my days here aren't spent sleeping and more sleeping.

Laundry
Restock fridge with groceries
Unpack and reorganize things
Get rid of things I don't need
Get mail
Go to Sports Center
Do yoga in apartment
Set up workout routine, do it everyday
Print photos and do something fun with them
Cook fun new things!
Actually go to a Paideia class for once
Go to buffalo and buy skinnyjeans and maybe some new boots

Which best friend?

Nobody really has outties, do they?

Sour cream and onion of course

Do you parallel park or drive around the block?
It depends how long I have been looking and generally how frustrated I am with life.

Which shoe do you put on first?
Almost always the left.

Have you ever been to a gay bar?
Who hasn't?

Is there one thing all of your ex's have had in common?
They were all the same person.

Did you french kiss before you were 16?
I believe so. But calling it french kissing seems so juvenile. It's just kissing.

Have you ever been cow-tipping or snipe-hunting?
Just because I was born in Cincinnati does not mean I am retarded.

Have you ever had a poem or a song written about you?
I think so. Or he just told me that to get in my pants.

When is the last time you played the air guitar?
I've always had trouble with that.

Have you ever peeked in the opposite sex's locker room?
Oh, Palihigh. It was the same as the girls' but dirtier and smellier.

Painted my nails?

Have you ever bitten your toenails?
Gross.

How do you normally eat your cookies?
I'm not sure I understand the question. I like them warm and chewy.

Do people do that?

How many drinks does it take before you get drunk?
It varies.

How often do you clean out your ears?
I literally just did it. Is that weird?

Scrunch. More surface area. Clearly the smarter choice.

Never?

No, I usually stay away from doing things I know I'l regret.

Do you want to bring sexy back?
Oh, it's been brought.

Definitely. Although only if it's an inordinately high number.

What's the most you have spent for a haircut?
I think it was $95 but not usually more than 60.

Something not depressing.

Would you tell your parents if you were gay?
I think they would figure it out first.

What would your last meal be before getting executed?
I'm getting executed?

Beatles or Stones?
I know that Stones is the expected hardcore answer but really, the Beatles are more brilliant than the Stones could ever wish to be.

If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who?
Just one?

Do you walk around the house naked?
Sometimes. But only when no one else is home. I hope you got a really great mental image from that.

If you were an animal what would you be?
Some kind of exotic wildcat. Probably a snow leopard.

Hair color you like on someone you're dating?
That's probably the least important thing that comes into play. And I'm not trying to sound non-superficial, because clearly looks are important, but hair color? Who cares?

Would you rather be blind or deaf?
A combination would be fun. Although if I had to choose, deaf.

If you weren't straight, what person of the same sex would you do?
I despise that this survey is assuming that the survey taker is straight. Just for that, I'm not going to answer. I can't choose between all my hot girl friends anyway.

Do you sing in the shower?
Only if I am convinced that no one will hear me/judge my showersinging.

If it were reconstructive surgery, yes. For vanity reasons, no.

Do you like pickles?
Yes.

Bjork. I was eight.

Would you make a fool out of yourself in public if it meant you were making your partner laugh?
I would probably be too shy.

Would you prefer the lights on or off during sex?
Always off.

Do you judge people solely by their musical preferences?
Completely.

Would you ever start a relationship with someone who was still living with an ex for financial reasons? I can't answer this, the question is too convoluted. It totally depends, although probably not.

Do you need to know everything about someone's past?
I would like to.

It is more worthwhile and satisfying to improve the world or appreciate the world?
Probably appreciating it but I'd rather try and improve it anyway.

Do you believe that dreams can be messages from a "higher level"?
Don't ever ask me such a dumb question again.

Would you rather have a great friend you could share everything with or a great lover you can't really talk to?
Friend friend friend!!!

Neither. Although women are much more aesthetically pleasing.

We all judge.

What is a true one-night stand, as opposed to an untrue one?
