Bulletin

A teenager "friend" of mine posted this on MySpace as a bulletin at 12:11 in the morning, and I liked it so much I decided to steal it. Here's my version.

Do you get distracted easily? Yes. Then again, I'm also able to concentrate too. So, yes, and no.

When is your next vacation and where? No current plans to go anywhere; we're discussing a train ride up the coast but not sure when.

Do you ride roller coasters? I used to but it's been some years since I've been on one. Then again (which I'm saying a lot today, am I not?) the 405 freeway could qualify, couldn't it?

Who was the last person you yelled at? It wasn't yelling, but I had a very serious conversation with this guy at work about why he and his unit let my boss's gas card expire without notifying her.

Are you wearing a necklace? I very rarely wear necklaces.

What family member do you look like? My whole life everyone has said I look like my grandmother (dad's mom); however, my grandma had this crazy nose, with like, one nostril bigger than the other? and I really don't want to be mean, she was a beautiful woman, but I just can't get behind that. My nostrils are the same size, thank you.

Do you take any daily vitamins or pills? Last time I tried vitamins I broke out in a rash. None since.

Where does your grandma live? Neither grandma lives anywhere. Why this sudden interest in my grandma?

Are you friends with your neighbors? Yes. Except when they're parking in front of my fucking house or blocking the driveway.

Where have you lived throughout your life? Culver City, Mar Vista, Long Beach. Does the two weeks I spent in San Jose with Drew count? Nah, I didn't think so.

Do you have a routine before going to bed? Brush teeth, wash face, read, talk to Patrick.

Have you ever tee-peed someones house? No, but I egged someones car once. Fun!

Have you ever had a crush on your sister's/brother's friend? When I was very little, my brother's best friends were Mike and Greg Romano down the street. They were both huge troublemakers, but I wanted to grow up and marry either one of them. I wasn't picky back then. And then there was Kyron...

When was the last time you drove more than 30 minutes? Last Sunday, coming home from the Marina after having dinner with Sarah and Pauly.

Do you have any enemies? Not that I know of? OK, now I'm scared.

What is your usual breakfast? Cereal or a Special K bar.

What are you doing tonight? Normally on a Friday night I'd be either going to the theater to do the lights for Quartet or heading down to Culver City for a flute lesson and after, karaoke or something. Tonight Patrick's friend Chris is coming over and they're going to be working on the computer, so... I guess I'll be nerding it up with them.

Would you date the person who posted this? Only if I wanted to GO TO JAIL.

What's for dinner? Patrick and Chris usually get Baja Fresh when they're working on the computer, but maybe I'll cook something? (and maybe pigs will fly?)

Anyone close to you ever died? Family...

Who's always there for you unconditionally? Patrick, Patty, my sister, my dad.

Are you ashamed of your past? Certainly not all of it. Maybe one or two not too great moments, but hey, nobody's perfect.

When was the last time you saw your best friend? A couple of months ago.

Do you use lyrics to express how you feel? I don't write lyrics, but there are definitely times when I hear a song that totally says exactly what I'm thinking or feeling.

When was the last time you cried? I made the supreme mistake of watching "Beaches" on television the other night. I may have also been suffering from PMS.

Do you swear often? Fuck yeah.

Who was the last person you had a sleepover with? Did a nine year old write this question?

Do you like messages or comments better? (my "friend" said, "Fuck this question," which I love. However, I do like messages and comments, so...) I like 'em both. Means there's someobody out there.

Do you still talk to the person you LAST kissed? I hope so. I like how "last" is in caps.

What's the last thing you ate? (what, for the autopsy report?) I had a bowl of Raisin Bran with soy milk. And I'm considering going back for more.

Last doctor's appointment or hospital visit? I dunno... couple months ago.

Do you know anyone in the military? I don't think so.

Is there anything silver near you? Huh?

When was your default picture taken? I just changed it, so maybe it was last week? Or the week before?

What do you like on your pizza? Sometimes pepperoni, sometimes mushrooms, sometimes pineapple, sometimes all three. Sometimes sausage. Sometimes just tomatoes.

What bill do you dread paying? None. Just shut up and pay 'em all.

Did you ever go through an awkward stage? Perhaps if I hadn't I might not be here? And... maybe I still am?

Have you had braces? No.

Do you have a green thumb? Absolutely not.

Ever tied a ribbon on your finger to remember something? No.

Last video game you played? Scrabble, on my phone.

Do you want another pet? Yes, please! I want a bunny, a rat, a goat, a dog, and about ten more cats.
