In case you were curious...

Who was the last person to smoke a cigarette in your presence?
That would be Spencer- my roommate Mer's boyfriend. Ahhh, Dave Lights. A rare commodity

Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
Mer. Chances are I will get to explain the content of our conversation in a later question.

What are you excited about?
-Having electricity
-Being notified of an expired CD I had forgotten about
-Trying my hand at putting a finish on the chairs and table (first time painting(ish) something that will be seen up close)
-Going to Pier 1 during a SALE and not purchasing a thing
-Owning plants that do not keel over and die when I walk past
-The smell of rain (which is occurring right at this very second)
-Being cared for and knowing it without verbal confirmation

Who do you text the most?
Probably Lance. Who knows though, I text quite frequently.

How do you make your money?
By tossing children over my shoulder and slamming them down on couches or beds, practicing math and spelling, and reading "Frog and Toad" over and over and over and over….

What color are your eyes?
Kinda grey

What is the last letter of your middle name?
What a weird question. Who really gives a crap? I mean…. that can be said about this quiz in general, but wow. I believe we have sunken to a new low. "N" if you care.

Do you wear your seatbelt in the car?
Never used to, but I dated this guy ;-) on and off for umpteen years who INSISTED that I wear it. That and helmets on motorcycles. No crashes, so HAHA Brad, I wouldn't have died anyway… but really, he drilled it into me so much that it is now second nature.

Are you happy right now?
Mmmhmmm, I have ELECTRICITY (Trying hard to bring up my latest phone conversation… it appears that I will not be asked what my last conversation was about?)

What were you doing at midnight last night?
Actually, I was somewhere in a tropical jungle/greenhouse, killing some alligators (for those of you close enough to me that I have shared my childhood reoccurring dreams, this may be a GIANT FUCKING FLAG. of what? I don’t know, but I am killing what ate me alive until I woke up.)

When is your birthday?
1865. Yeah, that’s right.

Do you want to get married & have children one day?
Its pretty low on the priority list


Is there any food that you are craving right now?
YES… and you get to suffer because the question does not ask WHAT food are you craving right now!!!


What are you listening to?
I am listening to my fingers make contact with buttons that correlate with what I am thinking/typing. If my thoughts and my typing fingers were in a race, my fingers would lose- but not by much.

Random thought- do you think hand written diaries are more censored than typed journals/diaries since it takes longer (at least for me) to physically write things out than it does to type them? You have more time to think and stop yourself from writing something down. However, the delete key is just a pinky-length away which can very quickly and efficiently erase entire trains of thought…. I wonder.

Who do you not get along with?
Those meanie-heads who read the above "random thought" and think "Man, Kara is a weird. Glad I don't talk to her anymore…"

Are you waiting for something?
Um, not really. Well… the ELECTRIC BILL which apparently comes before the 5th of every month. Could have fooled me. (whoops! DID fool me! And since we did not ever receive a bill, nor multiple noticies, how on earth could I PAY it. I'm watching you Tacoma Public Utilities… grrrrrr)

Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?
Nope. I recently answered this in another quiz. My response? NO. Some assholes fuck it up REAL bad the first time around and they, my friends, do not deserve your respect, much less another chance to be in your life. Fuck them. Fucking fuckers.

Will you talk to someone on the phone tonight?
I am regularly phoned on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" to save people's sorry asses. Tuesday? Yeah… I'll be online with Google awaiting my presence (or perhaps Kehwl or whatever that new one is). On the show I will be posing as "my dorky friend who always wins at Trivial Pursuit," therefore is the person who can answer my question if only I would READ IT along with the corresponding answers without skipping things or repeating them 8 times or rambling on about debating over the answers, "INCAN EMPIRE" vs. "POTTED PLANT" but just cannot make up their minds…. and time has run out. You have a 50/50, the answers left are "EUROPES FINEST" or "THREE TRILLION." Whoops, you loose. Yeah, I'll be on the phone tonight.

Are you wearing make-up?
Yup, almost always do. Get used to it.

Did you get a full 8 hours of sleep last night?
Nope, did not. Watched a creepy film called "Turtles can Fly" by Bahman Ghobadi. It was "the first film shot in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein." and it was all about children. Kids. 13 year olds caring for babies, leading villages, being clairvoyant, and killing people far younger than themselves. PG-13 folks. PG-FRIGGIN-13. I would vote it inappropriate for emotionally unstable, sleep deprived twenty-three year olds. I've been up since.

If there was a large spider in the room, would you stay?
Yes. This was also on the last quiz. And again, unless the spider was baseball size or larger, I would remain in the room. Baseball size or larger? Yeah, I'd probably excuse myself.

Where was your default picture taken?
Facebook: Hell's Kitchen, Tacoma
Myspace: Lances driveway, Wheeler Street, Parkland
Blog thingy: On a log, on the beach, in Northern California
Flickr: Ben, Ben, and myself in our Kitchen on Wheeler Street around the time of Christmas/New Years

How old will you be in 13 months?
25

Have you ever liked some one that treated you badly?
Lets see…. YUP

Is your current hair color your natural hair color ?
It used to be back in the day. How I miss being a natural bleach blonde.

Do people ever mistake you for being a different race?
Another odd question… aren’t a vast majority of folks around here just a mish-mash of randomness? No, I've never been mistaken for an Indian beauty or an ebony queen, but I could be any number of races… and I am.

Where is your most ticklish spot?
-gentle-cant-resist-cringing/giggling: back side of knees/elbows
-bust-a-gut-laugh-out-loud: a solid pinch to the ribs

Which of your friends do you argue with the most?
Tyson. Somehow, even though we share nearly nothing in common aside from mental instability, we remain friends. (BIG HUG to my bad-ass, stubborn, solid, competitive, argumentative, ready-to-kill friend. I love you to pieces…and I hear you are looking mighty fine these days, lets see some pictures man!)

Can you honestly say that looks don't matter?
Um, no. Looks matter quite a lot. Its how you carry yourself, how you feel about yourself inside that projects ten-fold to the outside world. I've never managed to get a number/hook up with/visit with strangers/meet like-minded people, unless I feel pretty darned good about myself. So maybe I just contradicted my first statement. Looks in and of themselves do not matter so much. Confidence=sexy=doesn't really matter what the hell you look like.

Walk or Run?
Drive, thank you very much.

What was your first thought when you looked into the mirror this morning?
No thought. Vacant stare.

Where were you at 10 pm last night?
Here, sitting on the floor by the patio door, trying desperately to get one more bar without wrapping up in blankets and heading outside to access my email account. It worked.

Have you ever stepped on a straightener?
WTF. "Have you ever stepped on a nail/wet paint/a baby/a cactus/a lightbulb/a slug/a rotten board on a deck three stories up and fell through paralyzing your knee caps and nipples"… Nearly everything that comes to my mind is a better question than "Have you ever stepped on a straightener?"

Is there anyone who doesn't like you because of something you didn't do?
Of course.

Have you hugged anyone in the last week?
I sincerely hope that all people around the world have hugged someone in the last week. Hugs are very important.

Do you have any siblings?
Haha, his name is Michael Douglas… HAHA MIKE. HAHA.

Did you cry today?
Maybe a little on the inside

What was something that happened to you in 1997?
Lets see, 13 years of age… 6th/7th grade… I am pretty sure I went to a "party" at Ashley Beal's house and we watched GI Jane and slept with boys and I got in trouble.

Three words to explain why you last threw up?
Ter-i-yaki

Was today a good day?
Yes. In general, days that begin in a good manner continue to be so throughout. I had little sleep last night, but it was a fine fine morning.

Is there someone in your life you don't want in it?
…I was going to say something malicious, but now that I really think about it, I don’t have anything malicious to say! Everyone in my life belongs- even if they are there solely for the purpose of annoying me to the point where I realize how great other people can be.

Point in case: I cut a lady off today. Pretty bad. She was in my blind spot, I looked over my shoulder but I didn't look over my shoulder and I moved on over. I got a horn honk and a dirty look (perfectly acceptable. I would have even been fine with receiving the bird and some tailgating). When the time came for her to be next to me in traffic, I clearly lipped the word "SORRY" with a very sad look on my face, and I even gestured apologetically with my hand. I had acted foolish. I was, indeed, sorry. I hate being the asshole driver. But honestly, sometimes, it happens. Sometimes you do things without thinking them through. Sometimes you make a mistake. Sometimes you go through the motions but do not really think about it and you accidentally put your turn signal on and begin to merge into a lane that is already occupied and you make the person behind you jump a bit, press harder than usual on the brakes, and that’s it. Nobody was near death. Nobody was even within 30 feet of anything else. Immediately upon hearing the horn and realizing my mistake I lipped "I'm Sorry" into the rear view and held up my hand intending to signal "I realize I have done you wrong, I understand your anger. Please forgive me." But no. For what seemed to be hours she was behind me glaring at me. GLARING. As she moved to the lane to our right her eyes followed me, menacingly. She was next to me. I repeated my apology. She saw it-thought about it-and decided to hate me even more for I had irritated her. No room for forgiveness in her heart.

Short story long, I'm glad she was in my life and I'm glad I'm not like her that cold-hearted-stone of a lady.

Do you get mad easily?
No, actually. I'm not like the woman mentioned above.

What happened at 10AM this morning?
I arrived at Jayne & Patrick's home and proceeded to entertain their children.

Have you ever drank Jack Daniels?
Can we say Whiskey Friday?

Is your bedroom window open?
Heck yes, blinds too… you don’t want to see me naked? Shut your eyes fool.

Do you want to cut your hair?
No, but the terrible condition it is in right now is forcing me to do so tomorrow morning at 9am. Thank you Janessa for loving my hair, even when I do not.

Do you like sushi?
No tempura please. Everything else? Bring it.

What did you do today?
I have answered this already. Read above.

Do you get along with girls?
Yes I do. However, I enjoy spending time with males. There tends to be less drama, less gossip, and more living in the moment. I like that. However AGAIN, I do not care for Sports Center/NFL Network 24/7. Happy medium please, happy medium.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?
I shall take over the world!!…. pinky and the brain brain brain brain, brain brain brain brain…

Have you ever cried while in the shower?
THIS is the last question? Fine. Fine. I chose to fill the survey out to begin with. No, I have never cried in the shower. Sometimes my eyes leak a little, and every once in a while the inside of my head melts a bit and squeeeeezes its way out through my tear ducts, but cried? Naw.
