I will ask you questions! To starttt, what's your favourite holiday, anddd do you ever sing LAAAAAST CHRISTMAS, I GAVE YOU MY HEART! BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY, YOU GAVE IT AWAY! THISSSS YEAR, TO SAVE ME FROM TEARS, I'LL GIVE IT TO SOMEONE SPECIAL! for no apparent reason?

My favorite holiday? Halloween has always been up there because you get to dress up, plus they clearance all the makeup and costumey stuff afterwards and that means really cheapy eyeliner and fishnets and armbands and costume jewelry and such. (And even beforewards. I bought a bunch of bat/spider hair things, a little serving-ish tray with a spider web, and a witch's hat with silver tinsel hair all for like $2.26 last night.)

Christmas means presents that aren't food, though, so I think that wins. Plus, though I'm not really one of those all-up-with-the-religiosity peoples, IL going to (Catholic) church on Christmas (even in the weeks leading up to it). The church is always decked out and you sing Christmas songs sometimes instead of hymn things, and the atmosphere's all fun.

I do not know that song, sadly enough. I have been bursting into choruses of that song from The Lion King, "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, deedelidee. There they are a standing in a row, bumbumbum. . . ."

IL THESE TWO HOLIDAYS TOOOO. But also Easter because lol chocolate obsession D:

The song is trufaxc George Michael, bb. Or the version I know is, at least.

1. *points to icon*
2. If you were shipwrecked on a remote island (WAY past where Jesus lost his sandals and cell phone reception), how would you plan to survive, and name an item and a person that you'd choose to have with you in order to achieve said surivival.
3. Funniest freckle? (LOL, idk where this came from, but I think it had something to do with all the freckles that've been popping up on my back, arm and shoulder areas. Not just little dusty ones, either. I'm talking beauty-spot-types.)
4. Would you eat human flesh? It can be cooked and stuff.
5. What are you wearing?
6. Ten (or less, if you want) things you plan to do before you die?
7. What is your favorite salad dressing?
8. Your ideal birthday party?
9. Biggest celebrity crush to date?
10. Do you wish I'd never seen this post? :P

OHMYGOD I SPELT FAVOURITE WITHOUT THE U.

THIS IS WEIRD. Not because you did, (though weird) but because I felt that something was just, idk, different about that comment. Wrong to be coming from you. It's like I noticed because it's not what I'd expect from you but didn't notice because it was right for me. Whatever.

It's like I noticed because it's not what I'd expect from you but didn't notice because it was right for me.

That makes sense. I think I wrote it like that because I'm used to converting to American for all the icon tutorials I've been doing lately. It's all American in Photoshop, so I'm always writing things like "color balance" and "selective color" and such. So yar. I'm totally bigrammatical. (<-- what?)

1. Nothing, usually. Go to the gym, possibly watch TV. Most of the time, huge lots of things were due for school on Friday (plus, with minimed the night before, that cuts down on doing things time), so I was up really late the night before, which means I nap through most of Friday night. But last week I think my sibs and I went out shopping (because there are tons of after-Halloween sales of gothy makeup--though not many this year, for whatever reason--and candy and stuff) and then came back and watched Bring it On whilst stuffing our faces with pizza roll things. Though I got bored partway through (as I watched it a few days before) and went to play on the computer. Ohyeah, and internets. I do that on Friday nights.

2. LOL, Jesus with a cell phone. I just pictured this cartoon of Jesus on a beach with no shoes saying into a phone "Can you hear me now? Now?"

Ooh, survival stuff. I think that kind of thing would be fun, like to have to do it for a few days. Idk, do you get the program "Frontier House" or "Colonial House" or any of those other ones? They'd be on whatever your BBC is, I think. They're pretty awesome; you've got to live entirely like they did in whatever time period for however long. I'd want to be able to leave after a few days, though.

Oh, to the question. Shelter, naturally, from whatever natural formations (cave types, mainly)/remnants of the wrecked ship/building materials were available. Sustainable source of water's next (or first, if you're thirsty), followed by food, followed by whatever rescue plans I could make.

Person? Prolly STEVE IRWIN. Because he'd know what's poisonous and whatnot. And thing? Guidebooky such items, so just like with Steve, you know what you can eat/what will eat you (I wasn't originally thinking this was necessary, but Steve didn't know plants really, did he?).

3. Oh, you know what's funny? This was the easiest question, IMO. I've got one (sorta beauty-spotish, like yours) on my forehead, right up at the very border of my hairline on the right side. It's random, but I sort of like it.

4. I don't think I would eat anyone else's, if that makes sense. For some reason, I think it's a lot creepier to eat somebody else's flesh than your own. But, if it wasn't inherently creepifying because it was probably not a consented donation, I might try it just so I would have tried it. And if I was all Donner party-like starving and you were already dead, I'm sorry, but you're gone and I'm hungry. This is the natural order of life--dead feeds the living.

5. Right now, black sweater that I got for free when my volleyball was right after a school-benefit rummage sale in the same place. I got a whole bundle of sweatery stuff, which was cool. And my Zena jeans (actually, pair one of two), which make me smile, because I have to do the Warrior Princess cry in my head whenever I put them on (even though it's spelled wrong). Plus whitish (I've been meaning to wash them but idk how without melting them in the dryer or whatever) and grey sneakers. Nike ones, idk where they came from, but they were my mum's and they were too big for her.

Ahh, the busses are here. Must finish later.

I just pictured this cartoon of Jesus on a beach with no shoes saying into a phone "Can you hear me now? Now?"

LOLOLOLLLLL.

do you get the program "Frontier House" or "Colonial House" or any of those other ones?

I think we do. On ABC, which gets all the BBC shows.

And that would be very fun. There's this old manor near me that's been done up and opened to the public as a museum, and I freaking love it there. I picture what it would be like, in that house, dressed in their clothes (corset!) with my hair all curled and pretty, and I WANT.

Steve didn't know plants really, did he?

Not as much as animals, but I'm guessing he would've known a decent amount.

if I was all Donner party-like starving and you were already dead, I'm sorry, but you're gone and I'm hungry. This is the natural order of life--dead feeds the living.

So, you're saying you would EAT me?!
You're totally right, though. Once survival mode kicks in, I'd eat you too. Let's not let this get in the way of our friendship. :P

6. I think I talked about something like this not that long ago, so some of these are prolly repeats, but still.

- Become totally, totally fluent in another (or more than one) language.
- Spend time in a very different culture.
- Save somebody's life.
- Deliver a baby. (My own? I've had this mini fantasy lately of doing a home birth and delivering my own child just for the whole experience.)
- Be on a jury for a criminal case. Actually serving, not just being called in. Though they need to stop pretending they pay you (it's like $30 for an entire day's work), I think it'd be fun.
- Act in something professionally. I'd like to just spend one summer in LA auditioning for pilots, just for fun. Idk, I may not have the supermodel look that seems to pervade TV/movies, but I feel I have the skills that I actually would do a good job if given a chance.
- Have a sort of farm. Or at least spend a good amount of time on one. IL horses and such, and I never get to ride them because it's too expensive to own them unless you can put them up on your own land. (And even then, the feed's outrageous, I've heard.) And it'd be cool to get your own eggs and such (though gross).
- Travel, travel, travel. So many cool places in the world, so little time/money.

Hmm. . . that's all I've got off of the top of my head.

7. Italian. I'm an addict. Usually the Fit and Active Light Italian that Aldi grocery stores have, because it's cheap and lo cal. It goes on everything as a healthy flavoring.

8. Any with you, bb, LOL! I like the ones I've been having, though, where we go see the Shakespeare in the Park production, sit on the grass, eat pizza, play games, etc. It's cheap to throw, fun, and if you get a good-weather day, it usually works out really well.

9. Idk. Jeri Ryan, maybe. They're all about the same length/intensity, but (since my locker partner was a Star Trek fan too) I had pictures of her in my locker freshman year. Tons. Plus some other people, but mostly her. It began to be referred to as The Shrine.

10. Nope! IL questions. And you know what? You should answer these too. Because win.

I think you talked abother those things before also. I definitely remember the saving someone's life, and baby delivering things. Oh, and jury duty.

Act in something professionally

That's interesting. I think you'd do a good job also. You've definitely got the analytical mind.
I've thought about that, myself, but I'm not sure how I'd go being the centre of attention and all. There'd be so many people, and a pressure on you to get it right, and I would probably take a little while to ease in. If I could conquer those things, I would absolutely love it. I'd need to learn how to free my emotions, though. I hold back far too much, and that's not a good trait for actors to have - or so I'm guessing.

it's too expensive to own them unless you can put them up on your own land. (And even then, the feed's outrageous, I've heard.)

I knowwww. Vet bills are even worse than feed. I'm not sure exactly how much the feed costs, though. You could probably go to markets and get all sort fo stuff for cheap. In bulk, too.
But Sam's mum was telling me at dinner one night that the trick to saving on vet bills is to just keep them in as natural an environment as possible. It's not often they'll hurt themselves or get sick in the wild, so it makes perfect sense. And generally I think they know what they can and can't eat, but keeping poisonous stuff out of their reach is an obvious move anyway.
God, I want horses. I am so jealous of horse-owners, or even riders. It's something I have wanted all my life. WITH A PASSION.

Any with you, bb, LOL!

LOL, let us throw a party, then! Just me, you, ~~a dog named Boo~~, junk food, and TV! Oh, and cake. OH, and vodka. OH, AND, shotglass chess. Because, hello, fun. (Seriously, we have that game and I hate how it sits in my parents' closet all the time and never gets used)

abother

I really don't know.

LOL, replying to my own comment.

1. I play in Photoshop, frolick about on the internet, and watch DVDs. Will & Grace, mostly. Then I grumble about having to work the next day. Mostly out loud, often to myself.

2. I would survive by... I have no idea. All I can think of right now is a trick I was taught for getting drinkable water from the ocean, but I can't even do that because I'd need *counts* three items. I could prolly improvise with appropriate wreckage (if we're talking plane/shipwrecks). But yeah. It involves a bucket, cling wrap, a smaller bucket, a rock, and the sun. And for the person I'd want Brennan, LOL. She's got the logic and smartness, and perhaps if we were going to die I'd be able to talk her into sexing me.

3. The one on my palm. Either right or left, seeing as I have one on both. But il how I have freckles in the shape of the Southern Cross... somewhere *makes mental note to check in the shower later*, and matching ones on my inner thighs.

4. Probably. It would squick me out, eating another person (though animals had a life and their own personality, and loved ones of their own, so I'm not sure exactly where the difference lies), but I'm very curious. Maybe if they donated their body to science or whatever, it'd be a little better. If we're talking eating other people to survive, I could, once hunger overrides my conscience.

5. My work uniform. Medium blue button-down shirt (which can be left untucked, thank god) and black pants. il the pants, because they're so comfy. They sit above my hips, but the top is a wraparound-band sort of thing, and it flattens my stomach and such (though not because they're tight - quite the opposite - just the way they sit). Along with the straight-type legs, they give a nice shape.
Oh, and striped socks. Blue and grey. ♥

6. Here we go. um. No particular order.
i. skydive/paraglide.
ii. travel the world. well. Australia, USA, Canada, UK and Egypt, anyway.
iii. fall in can't-imagine-my-life-without-you-want-to-be-near-you-all-the-time-you-make-my-breath-hitch-and-my-blood-pound love with someone. Because I'm a girl like that. Plus I'd love to know what all the fuss is about.
iv. get a tattoo. Right now I'm liking a word or something on my wrist/s. Perhaps "CHAOS" on one and "HARMONY" on the other. idk. I cut three little x's along my hip once for fun, and now they've almost faded and I want them back. They would look pretty cool as a tattoo.
v. HAVE SEX, GODFUCKINGDAMNIT. lol, can you tell I'm blanking on ideas?
vi. get one of those makeover + professional photoshoot things done. Because I think seeing myself all prettied up (and undoubtedly looking more photogenic than I usually am, considering they have professionals telling me what to do) would be good. My self-esteem needs some stroking.
vii. save someone's life. Not necessarily by pushing them from the path of a bus, or by giving them CPR or even from a doctor's standpoint (as unlikely as that is). Saving them from themselves.
viii. become something (someone?) that I can be proud of.
iv. become a parent, or kickass aunt. LOL, like the latter's my choice. I do really want to be one of those awesome aunts, though. Right now that's more appealing, because I can give the kids back when I get sick of them. *chortles*
x. learn another language.

7. This special one called Flying Cow salad dressing. It used to primarily come from a restaurant of the same same, but that closed and now it's just kinda sold randomly in the surrounding areas. IT'S FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. I don't even know what the ingredients are.

8. I'm a fan of the movie night/sleepover thing. With a bunch of close friends, possibly alcohol (because you can't deny it would make things just a little crazier. and with actual friends there's not much to worry about), and crazy game ideas. That's perfect. Starting off with a movie and dinner is awesome too.

9. I can't really say... they're always pretty intense, but they vary in length. Possibly Sandra Bullock?

10. YES. GOD, CATHRYN.

iv.

And by that I mean ix. Must use Roman numerals more often - it took me a few seconds to remember what came after iii, for Christ's sake.

(lol at me fucking this one up as well. thank god I can delete my comments in other people's journals)
