From Nyarly:
1. Tell me something obvious about you.
I have a blog. I like to answer silly memes.
2. Tell me something about you that many don't know.
The first crush I remember having was on Strawberry Shortcake. The second was on the animated Disney fox version of Robin Hood.
3. What is your biggest fear?
That something horrible will happen to my mom, Mark, or my dog.
4. Do you normally go the safe route or take the short cut?
Usually the safe route. Short cuts make me nervous.
5. Name one thing you want that you can't buy with money.
Good homes for the puppies.
6. What is your most treasured possession?
Hrm...I have a lot of posessions, but I don't know that any of them are really treasured. I don't tend to put too much emotional value into things, I guess. Maybe when I get an iPod...:)
7. What is the one thing you hate most about yourself that you do often?
I hate my lack of energy.
8. What is your favorite lie to tell?
I'm not huge into lying, but I often pretend I am sure about things when I'm not. When I was a kid, though, my favorite lie to tell was to go into clothing stores and shop as if I was very rich and going on a cruise (I was like 12 or something when I did this). My friend Moriah and I would loudly discuss our travel plans while browsing the racks. Considering I was shopping on the clearance racks at Fred Meyer, I don't think I had anyone fooled. I also lied about my age and my name fairly often, and typically with success that scares me now.
9. Name something you've done once that you can't wait to do again.
Massage. Mmmm....
10. Are you the jealous type?
I am, but I am trying to get past it.
11. What is the one person, place or thing you can't say no to?
Apparently, it's puppies in need.
12. What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you?
There are too many to count...the most appreciated, I think, is everyone who has ever taken care of me when I've been sick.
13. If you could do something crazy right now, what would it be?
Quit my job and stay home napping, watching TV, playing with the puppies, and doing collage.
14. When was the last time you cried?
I don't remember.
15. When was the last time you felt so good that nothing else mattered?
This happens pretty often, but I don't remember any recent times specifically.
16. Do you feel comfortable in public with no shirt on?
I am pretty comfortable topless, actually. It's other people's discomfort with my being topless that is the issue.
17. Name something embarrassing you did while drunk.
How do you think I know I'm comfortable topless? I tend to lose articles of clothing while drunk. I also like to make out with random women.
18. Name one person, past or present, with whom you'd like to spend the day.
Janis Joplin
19. Name one place you've never been and would like to go, and tell me why.
I'd like to go to Scotland and The Netherlands to see the places my ancestors came from.
20. What's the story behind your online persona/name?
A million years ago, when I first set up a GoPlay account, I was obsessed with "Hamlet" as a foil for a tricky unrequited love situation I was in. I've been Avengingophelia ever since.
