Letter Six: Random Questions

This is probably an old meme, but my blog is new, so these questions are new. Yeah, we'll go with that.


1. How old do you look? I look my age, I guess, even though I feel about 95.

2. Where do you live? In the ghetto. Or so it's fast becoming. No, seriously, I strongly suspect the girl across the street is dealing drugs, and I know my old neighbors were potheads.

3. Are you waiting for something? A life? No, um, maybe the perfect job to land at my feet. Or my perfect man to show up at the door. You don't have to tell me I'll be waiting a long time. I'm already aware that I'm delusional.

4. What’s one pet peeve of yours that is not common? When people say, "Peed my pants" or some similar phrase. There is a preposition missing from that sentence, and it drives me insane.

5. Do you want/have kids? I want children so badly that it kills me a little on the inside every time I find out yet another of my friends is pregnant. Petty and jealous, who, me?

6. Have you ever thought about converting your religion? Nope. I know what I believe and why I believe it. Besides, I don't adhere to a "religion" so much as a "faith."

7. Last shocking news you heard? There isn't much that shocks me these days. My cousin told me she is pregnant, but it wasn't shocking, necessarily.

8. What was the last thing you drank? Mtn. Dew, my drug of choice.

9. Who do you most look like in your family? My father, unfortunately.

10. If you could have something right now, anything, what would it be? A good job.

11. Where does most of your family live? Virginia or North Carolina.

12. Where did you grow up? In the same house in Virginia. Now I live in my grandma's old house, but besides college, it's the only other permanent residence I've held.

13. Where do you want to go on vacation? Panajachel, Guatemala. I miss it so much that my heart literally aches.

14. Have you ever had a panic attack? I have them quite frequently, actually. That's what the magical pill, Xanax, is for.

15. What can’t you wait for? Honestly...Nothing. Children, maybe?

16. When’s the last time you told someone you loved him or her and meant it? I told my ex I loved him the last time I talked to him, but we both still say that, as it's still true.

17. Have your parents ever smoked pot? Yes. I, on the other hand, have not. Swearsies.

18. Want someone back in your life? I have my weak moments where I miss my ex, but then I come to my senses and remember why it didn't work out. There are one or two ex-friends that I miss, but I am too stubborn to be the one to extend the invitation back into my life.

19. What do you order at the bar? Some form of margarita, 99% of the time. Occasionally some other sort of mixed drink.

20. When was the last time you cried really, really hard? Last week. There's a lot of crying in my house.

21. Ever licked someone’s cheek? Yeah, my ex, but only because I knew where his cheek had been. lol

22. What is your favorite thing to eat with peanut butter? Jelly...?

23. Where were you on July 4th, 2011? I think I was at home the whole time.

24. What are your nicknames? Lucy, Lucy Belle, Lula Belle, La La.

25. If you could go back in time, how far back would you go? This question is too hard to answer, as there are too many times in history I would like to witness for myself. I'd also like to go back to being four or five; life was pretty swell then.
