paperclippy | Benj's survey

MORE THINGS TO FILL THE BOREDOM:
1. First Name: Jessica
2. Were you named after anyone? Nope!
3. Do you wish on stars? When I remember to. When I was a kid I would always wish "I wish that I get whatever I want the most!" because I was afraid that the things I'd wish for were things I didn't really want.
4. Which finger is your favorite? Definitely the thumb. But that's not a finger.
5. When did you last cry? Uh . . . a few days ago in New Jersey because I was stressed out about dealing with family and grumpy because I slept in too late.
6. Do you like your handwriting? For the most part yes. I'd love to have some really interesting handwriting style, but mine is pretty standard.
7. What is your favorite lunch meat? Roast beef.
8. Any bad habits? I pick on people too much for things they can't help. I am also sort of obsessive-compulsive about many things (like my stuffed dog's ears have to be laid out perfectly, some particular cabinets can never be kept open . . . ).
9. What is your most embarrassing CD on the shelf? I don't have any CD's on a shelf, but if you look at my mp3 collection you will find one Spice Girls song. And I like Britney Spears. :P
10. If you were another person, would YOU be friends w/you? Probably not, but that's because I don't think I get along with people who have the same personality type as me. Or I could be totally wrong. This is an unfair question!
11. Are you a daredevil? No.
12. Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell? Many times when I was younger. Not lately. When I was a kid I didn't really understand the concept too well.
13. Do looks matter? Definitely. As much as I try to look past people's appearances before judging them (I know I shouldn't be judging people at all) sometimes things just get in the way (like it takes a while to get used to seeing someone who has some strange characteristic -- a lazy eye, a big wart, whatever).
14. How do you release anger? I shout at people and cry a lot. Sometimes I throw my pillows or other soft items at walls. Sometimes I beat up my mattress.
15. Where is your second home? Ben's place in Long Beach.
16. Do you trust others easily? Not really. Some people just give me the impression that I can trust them with anything, but that's only a few people.
17. What was your favorite toy as a child? My stuffed dog. He still sleeps in my bed every night.
18. What class in school do you think is totally useless? I'm going to have to say discrete, because everything important from it got covered again in my CS classes.
19. Do you have a journal? Just LJ.
20. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Yes.
21. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? No.
22. What do you look for in a guy/girl? Someone who has a lot in common with me so that we can hang out and always find something to do. Must be a major dog person.
24. What are your nicknames? Jess is the most common one. Ben has lots of nicknames for me but we won't go into those ;)
25. Would you bungee jump? No.
26. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? I usually wear shoes that don't involve laces, but otherwise yes.
27. Do you think that you are strong? Physically, no. Mentally/emotionally, for the most part.
28. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? winter white chocolate from Baskin Robbins
29. Shoe Size? 7 1/2 (actually, my left foot is significantly smaller than my right foot, so my right won't fit in a 7 and my left won't fit in an 8, so if a pair of shoes doesn't come in 7 1/2 I can't wear them).
30. What are your favorite colors? I usually say sky blue but lately green has become my favorite.
31. What is your least favorite thing? Sleazy men who whistle/honk/catcall/etc.
32. How many wisdom teeth do you have? You mean actually in my mouth, as opposed to somewhere way back in my jaw bone? None. None of my wisdom teeth have come close to coming in, and in fact they're still too far away to have them removed without breaking my jawbone open. My teeth have been late coming in my whole life (I had that thing where my adult teeth grew in behind my baby teeth without my baby teeth falling out, so I've had pretty much all my baby teeth removed by a dentist or oral surgeon).
33. How many people have a crush on you right now? The only one I know of is Ben. :)
36. What color pants are you wearing? Dark blue (jeans)
37. What are you listening to right now? The sounds of traffic outside the window.
38. Last thing you ate? Chocolate covered cherries and other berries.
39. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Canteloupe.
40. What is the weather like right now? Beautiful! It's clear, a little cloudy, and the temperature is somewhere around 65 degrees. There's a beautiful sunset going on out there.
41. Last person you talked to on the phone?

etiphany
42. The first things you notice about the opposite sex? Height, face, hair, stature (like, skinny/fat/muscular/stocky).
44. How are you today? Just fine! Mostly because Bath and Body Works is having a huge sale and I managed to buy all of their leftover Grapefruit Jasmine stock!!
45. Favorite drink? Uh, water. Other than water, I'd have to say unfiltered apple juice. In terms of sodas, vanilla cream soda.
46. Favorite alcoholic drink? This is tough. My favorite alcohols are chocolate and mint liquers, Bailey's, and vodka.
47. Favorite sport? To play, none. Well, if you count martial arts I guess that would be my favorite. To watch, gymnastics or figure skating. (I know, I'm girly)
48. Your hair color? Dark brown with a white streak (and wavy)
49. Your eye color? It varies (I'm serious, they change colors). Blue and green with yellow flecks.
50. Do you wear contacts? Yes, but I'm wearing glasses right now because I ran out of disposable contacts and I'm not going to the optometrist for another week. My current pair of two-week disposable contacts, well, let's just say I've been wearing them since well before the semester ended. They're getting really dirty.
51. Siblings? One older sister, Rebecca ("Becky").
52. Favorite month? Uh . . . I like September because that's when my birthday is, but other than that probably May.
53. Favorite food? I can never come up with a good answer to this one. There are too many.
54. Last movie you watched? Part of Pirates of the Caribbean. In a movie theater I think the last one I saw was Master and Commander (does that sound like BDSM porn to anyone else?).
56. Are you too shy to ask someone out? I'd prefer to have someone ask me out. In general, I have been in the past but I probably wouldn't be were I "in the market" right now.
57. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings.
58. Summer or winter? I used to say winter but I'm really keen on summer lately. Or spring.
59. Hugs or kisses? Hugs.
60. Relationships or one night stands? I've never had a one night stand.
64. Living arrangements? My family has a house. It's one story (as most in LA are). I have my own bedroom though I shared with my sister for many years. A single dorm room at school. I'm also on the lease for Ben's studio apartment in Long Beach (about the size of a double and a half).
65. What books are you reading? A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin.
66. What's on your mouse pad? Ben's mousepad has a picture of the first mouse ever made on it. I use a touchpad on my computer at school and a trackball at home.
67. Favorite board game? Balderdash or one of those other types of games where everyone guesses a definition/fill in the blank/etc and then you vote on which is right. Other than that, Scattergories.
69. Favorite smells? Baking (anything, though I like bread). Citrus fruits.

Okay, why are there 69 questions on that thing? And now that I've done that, what am I going to do until Ben gets home?
