I DARE you to fill this out.
Posted: Feb 1st 2003, 10:39 pm
ok, this is the ultimate self-indulgent survey. I got it via email.
Are you guys up to the challenge?
(Edit: hmmmm... it just occurred to me that this might be much better suited to the 'Your So Called Life' forum. So, mods, feel free to move this if necessary!)
*~*Personal*~*
Name: Frankie
Location: New Orleans
Place of birth: Nashville
Date of birth: July 2, 1982
Current age: 20.
Occupation: Reading… constantly and forever, whether I want to or not.
Height: 5'0.
Weight: about 120 pounds hopefully
Hair colour: light brown
Eye colour: Brown.
Skin tone: very pale.
Distinguishing marks: a very flat head (its not too obvious, I hope, but I have discovered just how flat it is by balancing lots of stuff on it) and a short body
Siblings: none
Pets: Lucy and Desi… the super cats.
Hobbies: procrastinating, creative writing, pretending to be smart, running.
*~*Favourites*~*
Animal: Cats.
Colour: light blue and light green… those are the colors I would probably choose to decorate a room with. But I also love deep colors… deep purple, dark blue, crimson, etc.
Book: ‘Moon Tiger’, ‘Catcher in the Rye’, ‘My Mother Got Married (And Other Disasters)’, ‘Harry Potter’ (all four), ‘the Fountainhead’
Magazine: I don’t read these normally
Play: I’ve probably never laughed in a play as much as I did during Tulane’s production of “A Comedy of Errors.” But, I think Romeo and Juliet is my favorite play of all time.
Season: Fall… there really isn’t much of a fall in new Orleans unfortunately.
Holiday: Christmas.
Number: 2.
Car: Those new Toyota gas/electricity hybrids, if anything. Cost twice as much to buy, half as much to run, and put out only 10% of the emissions.
Celebrity: Claire Danes or Susan Sarandon maybe. Gwyneth Paltrow is so much fun to gawk at... There has never been someone more elegant-looking.
President: I dunno really. From what I know about them, I like Thomas Jefferson and Bill Clinton pretty well. I admire FDR for getting the U.S. out of the depression too.
Smell: wet washcloths, cat fur, clean laundry, fires and the smoke that comes when you blow out a candle
City: Nashville.
Country: I’ve never been out of the U.S., but from what I hear, Canada sounds pretty good.
Name: Alex short for Alexandria for a girl. Ben/Benjamin or Joey for a boy.
Friend: I have no real “favorite” friend. I have favorite qualities in each of my friends, but that’s another story.
Clothing: I tend to go for simplistic clothing although some of my peasant tops are kind of frilly since peasant tops by nature are. I like it when my clothes are somewhat fitted rather than being baggy.
Breakfast food: Hash browns, toast (cinnamon especially), cream of wheat, veggie sausage/bacon
Lunch food: ummmmm, burritos, Greek salads (minus the olives)
Dinner food: gourmet vegetable pizza
Dessert: Banana Bars and banana pudding
Snack: Potato chips and salsa. Soft batch chocolate chip cookies.
Fruit: Strawberries
Vegetable: Bell Pepper, mushrooms
Pie: buttermilk pie, unfortunately
Candy: starburst, godiva chocolate
Healthy food: ummmm, I guess the aforementioned greek salad would be the healthiest. Although burritos aren’t bad.
Resteraunt: Las Palmas!
Day of the week: this semester… I guess friday
Month: December for sure
Sport: I don’t really play sports, never have…. But figure skating is my favorite to watch.
Game: monopoly, and that game where someone tries to communicate a word to you without saying the word or anything that is obviously related to the word… I forget the name of it.
Time of day: Bedtime!
*~*All about You*~*
Most happy moment: It’s hard to say. I am having trouble thinking of happy moments but here’s one… Going to Petsmart to adopt Lucy. She is such a smart cat, and I could just see in her eyes that she knew something good was happening.
Most sad moment: Finding out that Buttercup/Princess (other companion animals) had died… saying goodbye to my parents when they dropped me off freshman year of college. And a break-up, tritely.
Most angry moment: My roommate threatening me
Most confusing moment: hmmm…. NOW, maybe? Trying to figure out why I started filling this thing out.
Most embarrasing moment: whatever it is… I know it involves getting hit by something or falling down in a public place. There’s no point going into specifics.

Most sinful moment: sinful? Whose judgement are we going by here?
Most dirty moment: A field trip last year spent wading through a wildlife refuge looking for a goddamn red-cockaded woodpecker. I’m not a nature girl. I’ve tried… it hasn’t worked for me.
